But there are some well meaning people who do not understand Sanskrit propagate Hinduism do more harm to Hinduism than good.
One such is a piece in Quora where the author states that Lord Rama called Buddha a Thief!
And the article quotes Ramayana of Valmiki.
It is a different matter that these practices were carried to the extreme and they were followed more by rote than by conviction and understanding of the Gnana Kanda of the Vedas.
The message of the Vedas is that , the Ultimate Aim being the Realization of Brahman, The Reality, the performance of actions are to be a tool in the path Realization as Brahman is identified with Knowledge.
Unfortunately, the spirit was lost and the practice of performing Srauta Karmas reached a peak with the advent of Mimamsa.
And innumerable Deities were worshiped, causing confusion.
