If one looks at the last 60 years of independence and ponder over it there are some fact that emerge very clearly.First the linguistic,ethnic and caste diversities of Hindu Society played a big role in successful functioning of India as secular and democratic society.These diversities stopped the Hindu majority coming together as one and imposing itself on the society. The pan Indian nature of basic Hindu culture ensured that India as a society glued together very well. Secondly the inclusive and tolerant character of Hindu philosophy played a major part to this end.Last but not the least the galaxy of leaders with their wisdom helped to create a vision that could be shared by all irrespective of caste,religion,ethnic identities.
