Where was this half-retard when his beloved BJP government grated Benny Hinn a visa to conduct an event in Mumbai that was big as the Bangalore one if not bigger. Where was this white trash when Bal Thackarey met Benny Hinn?
I have different view point from the author. There are lot of statements that he has made like Sikh PM and Muslim President of India, we as Indians understand that being a Sikh or Muslim doesn't mean that they are anyless Indians than a Hindu.
India is a great country where everybody is treated equally whatever their religion is. I am amazed that the educated people want to make boundries based on religion.
How could rediff allow this crap to be published...this is provocative.....this guy who is a western, a born christian wud never kno what hinduism and india are.....hinduism is about tolerance and india abt secular..thats one of the reason why hinduism is still surviving after thousands of years of muslim and hundreds of years of christian rule....and Now when India is doing great, all set to be developing at a pace more than western countries are, we are being targetted of racism and not being secular...i live in USA and i kno what people of other religions and countries go thru in this country..India is a much better country for people of all religions and all Hindus are proud of that.....We dont need ur advice Mr Whoever-u-r-and-whereever-u-r-from. We are developing not only economically but otherwise too and thats y people like u wud rasie these stupid Qs.....we know abt our religion and dont need ur advice......thanks.....and rediff pls dont publish anything provocative ...media need to play a big hand in developing communal harmony esp after godhra and I see rediff as very mature print/online media and hope it wud discourage any provocative articles as this one. -- A hindu

Buddy,you stay in the US and you talk as if you have your pulse on what India is facing... being tolerant about other peoples religions or being cowards is something that you have to figure out about us Hindus in India and I believe we fall in the latter category. So, before your spout your intellectualism, get your facts straight.
i started reading this article thinking that it is really based on the actual problems faced by our country. Ironically even though the title suggests otherwise its not even close to the real problems.
I am astonished at the utter confusion of the writer whether it was intended to bring out the obstacles faced by indians or just orthodox hinduism.
I don't think our democracy needs to go through the numebrs of hindus,muslims,sikhs or christians before electing our leaders. That's true that many politicians are roaming free where in fact they should be behind bars. But that does not justify the wrong deeds by our religious leaders.
Instead of inspiring people to go forward this article takes us back to the age old caste system and an era where everything was based on religion.
I really do not agree with the views of this article.
To comment on the apparent disunity among all the sincere servants of god is utter foolishness, none of us have the right to pass such remarks which would have at the most sprung from partial knowledge if not absolute ignorance. Our nation has a very very high and powerful consciousness, fully aware of its own mission. My Mother India will never cry: she rejoices in the knowledge that she has many children who will give their lives for her.It's a really bad joke to suggest that she will perish, the author should read the Gita sometime.
