You are spot on. In early 50s 60s 70s educated Hindus were reluctant and apologetic about their religion owing to the inferiority complex created by pseudo secular chiefs. Typically they were pseudo intellectuals leaning to the left and convent educated english speaking. In late 80s there was more awareness to our HInduism and HIduism is what united people from different states. Hindus are more proud and confident. That changes the way think and their attitude.One has to be proud of their roots. Hinduism is our roots even for Muslims and Christians of India.
