Re: Define the responsibilities of a Hindu

Only 2:-
1. What interactions did you have today with Hindus that you personally know and care about. That is, family and friends.
2. What interactions did you have today with Hindus that you don't know personally. This includes Hindu organisations, even this forum included (in case one is not here just to kill boredom ).
We can call these two as "strong" and "weak bonds", respectively. Or, "local" and "global" operations, respectively.
The first has an "additive" effect whilst the latter has a "multiplicative" effect, so clearly both are equally vital.
And since the OP doesn't mention about defining any thing, such as "who is a Hindu" , or what "these two responsibilities are like", there is really no need to go into that. Because, interaction is more important: content within them automatically developes thence.
The question, therefore, is where do we stand in regard to these two points.

Things to remember:
1. Life = yajña
2. Depth of Āstika knowledge is directly proportional
to the richness of Sanskrit it is written in
3. Āstika = Bhārata ("east") / Ārya ("west")
4. Varṇa = tripartite division of Vedic polity
5. r = c. x²
where,
r = realisation
constant c = intelligence
variable x = bhakti
