1.Rama or Krishna never knew the word "HINDU" 2.All the sacred books of Hinduism do not have the word "HINDU" 3.Sankarcharya who was main instrumental in regaining Brahminism in 8th century AD, did not know the term "HINDU" 4.We become HINDU when muslims only started calling us HINDU after 10th century AD. 5.HINDUS were overpowered by MUSLIMS/CHIRISTIANS for 800 years barring some discrete areas / periods. 6.HINDUS like to be overpowered by other RELIGIONS as observed in INDEPENDENT INDIA.Eventhough we are majority by population , we have very little say on overpowering other religion. 7.HINDUS have kept themselves fragmented on SECULAR / NON-SECULAR , HIGHER CASTE / LOWER CASTE , PRO-RESERVATION / ANTI-RESERVATION , PRO-MUSLIM / ANTI-MUSLIM , FUNDAMENTALIST / LIBERAL. We have lost moral courage to fight back / regaining strength. 8.HINDUS need some leader like SANKARACHARYA for regaining faith / confidence .Otherwise we are likely to remain a matter of RIDICULE in our own motherland by othe religious faith.
