Based on your scenerio your Hindu is not a member of the untouchables, which is the lowest class of humanity and are treated with contempt by those in the upper classes. Therefore, if your hypothetical Hindu had this attitude his good works will be balanced by his treatment of this group of people. No human being is perfect and without any flaws, which includes those other humans label as saints.
My character doesnt need picked apart and examined. I used him as an example of someone who does good deads and is sent to hell regardless. My character could have been anyone.
Would you believe that this great person would go to hell even if he did examine the scriptures and still drew the conclusion, in his own great heart, that Hinduism is truly for him? Thats my real issue. You couldnt find fairness or justness any way you steer it.
