cry...definitely but not on wrong reasons

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.
