I agree with you in many ways, but I also disagree with you and those who have posted comments. Fact: it is a shame that we cannot find an Indian to lead us. Fact: over the past years, India\'s enemies have grown stronger and the steps taken by us are a step short of being a weak hearted attempt to make ourselves feel better about how secure we are. Fact: Hinduism is not a religion-it is a way of life. I do not have guidelines laid out infront of me to follow in order to call myself a Hindu. However, this is also a drawback of Hinduism. Over the years, the interest in the Hindu culture and the history of India, which is not only Hindu, has gone down tremedously. Be it the Vedas, Bhagwat Geeta or the Epics-the interest in these topics, within our own border has take a beating. This is indeed disturbing. Regardless of whether Hindus are under threat by other religions or even countries, they are under threat from themselves first. Thus, the nature of Hinduism being a way of life-not inforced-is inherently the beauty and the bain of Hindus and this dilemma will haunt India and its political and social infrastructure long after you, me or Sonia Gandhi long after we are gone.
