We as a nation have a hard-to-follow beliefs and customs embed into our lives reluctantly. This is not to look down hinduism as a religion, but to empathise on our inability to cope with the growing times.
Hinduism can be seen as a rich collection of vedas, yogic practices and the idealogy of its own. Never did it endorse Sati(the immolation of the widow on her husband's funeral pyre), dont-touch-them, sex descrimination etc. There is been a constant manipulation of hindu practices to suit one's wishes.
Being grown in an orthodox hindu family, I had many such strong beliefs cultivated since childhood. Thankfully they have just confined to my childhood. But there are vivid memories of these practices and the restrictions they enforced. To me, dharma is about living the right way, it's logical and evolving.
