good post. the so-called hindu growth rate actually is "secular growth rate" or "congressi growth rate". actually the hindus achieved the growth rate for india despite the socialist-congressim (which is a close cousin of communism). the commies must not be allowed to shift blame and bash hindus for commies own shortcomings. it is an easily verifiable fact that in any part of the world the hindus have been - from day one - at the leading edge of their respective society. if india had a real hindu growth rate - ie a growth rate ahcieved in hindu environment - india would have been a superpower long ago.
