Monotheism is any religion that believes in one god. Christianity believes in one god and respects only one. The individual Hindu may revere one god, a few, or many, or none at all. Therefore; the problem whether is Hinduism polytheistic or monotheistic is very debatable. It seems more reasonable to state and argue that Hinduism is polytheistic. Exactly, monotheism simply means the acknowledgment of one god. But what it means in the case of monotheistic religions is acknowledgment of only one god. This particular variety of belief in one god is absolutely alien to the Hindu view. Monotheism — at least is the concept that guides religions like Christianity and Islam. It is rooted in the idea of ‘only one’.
Once we get this point evident, it becomes clear that Hinduism does not worship ‘One God’. Instead, Hindu worship the unity of all gods and indeed, the harmony of everything existening. According to the tenets of Hinduism, God is one as well as many. In God’s highest aspect god is the unknown consciousness known as Nirguna Brahman or Brahman without qualities.

Your view on the british after you witnessed the amristar massacre?
astraxan [27]

Amritsar is also called the JallianWala Bagh massacre. it is one of the most gruesome killing if the common civilians who assembled and were on peaceful strike in Amritsar.

Explanation:

Though Indians supported the British in their wars against Germany and Ottoman empire, The British Raj lacked trust on some of the radical Indians who understood the real purpose of the Britishers to occupy India. Gradually British decided to repress Indians by passing Rowlatt act which authorized the Britishers to imprison the revolutionaries just based on suspicion and the press were also not given the rights and freedom of speech and expression. General Dyer also restricted any association of more than four members in the public places in Amritsar.

But more than twenty thousand civilians assembled in the public park called JallianWala Bagh. General dyer ordered the cease fire and more than four hundred people were killed. This made the Indians to lose hope on the British Government and from thereon the nationalism spirit of Indians rose to such an extent that Independence was indispensable for Indians.
