Though I do not believe in rituals or religion but I absolutely agree with you, we must at least respect it as our heritage and try to reform the aspects that are rotten without always trying to trash it.

All the sects originated on the land of Hindustan , should be considered Hinduism as Hindu is not a religion ,it is national identity, it is jeevan Darshan. Indian religious tradition promotes freedom of thinking( bhudhism) that's why there are so many sects. As far as caste discrimination in Hinduism is concerned, in modern time every caste follow its independent sect( dalits - bhudhism, bania- Jainism, jats- arya smaj, Sikhism, majority worship certain deities) therefore the issue of brahimin domination is not very important. We should give priority only to those scriptures which are against caste discrimination. It does not matter much if those scriptures are related to any certain sect. Because every Sikh , bhudhist and Jainist is a Hindu. Thus Hindu should be national and cultural identity.
I hope there is nothing objectionable.
