Hinduism is soft and passionate as well as intolerant and arrogant depending on the place you see it. Modern Hinduism practiced at home by loose educated individuals is very flexible and tolerant largely because of the progressive and rational nature of the individuals who practice it and not the Hinduism itslef. Read the punishments described in the scriptures for even petty offences and you will know.
The same Hinduism is rigid and intolerant in many parts of India and practiced word by word. It interferes into the rights of every individual. And if someone violates, they and they are punished the way Manu dictates. A widow is cursed and secluded or sometimes killed. A teenage boy or girl will be given nice lessons if they cross the boundaries of Manu's castelines and normally ex-communicated.
Lives of non-hindus in villages is largely ex-communicated lives.
The British gave their military or police vehicle drivers as follows: "If you have no other choice but to choose between running over 100 people and a cow, choose the former". You will never see the intolerance of Hinduism in Bangalore or Delhi or any city. Go to the villages and you will see the reality.
You tell me where and how you find it tolerant. It will be you who will shock me if you are saying Hinduism is the most tolerant religion.
Hindus are docile and soft only when they are not given power. When they are given power they are mostly intolerant.
