Why do Hindus boast about how liberal their religion when the majority of them hate liberal values?

It's not uncommon for them to claim that it's a way of life not bounded by strict rules and boast about being the most 'liberal' religion out there.

When it comes to liberal values however, there's a completely different story. Most Hindu households are still against love marriages and even inter caste marriages in 2025. Yes 2025. Hindu families are also notorious for judging females on their clothing and slut shaming them. Btw it's not just the men who have regressive belief's, hindu women can be equally regressive.

Also most have mysoginistic as well as homophobic views. Let's not even talk about how much they hate secularism lol.

How can they boast about liberalism yet detest the very core values of liberalism?
