For a Hindu, a concept of Hindu Rashtra is a goal worth striving for. A nation-state (such as India), which is defined geo-politically, need not entertain the claims of the Such concept. I dont think India does entertain such claims. I dont think India entertains the concept of Islamic state in India. BTW, Does that competitor concept include Hindu Rashtra? However, what about those who by their own admission disown the concept of a geo-political nation? What do we do of them? What someone avows that he does not believe in Democracy? Should we discriminate against him? (Like communists who jailed those who did not believe in communism) Should we make policies that are based in one's belief systems? Should India discriminate against those who express their belief in Hindu Rashtra? I dont think that it is a problem at all. If someone believes they would rather have a Tamil country, its up to them to believe it. I dont think there should be any law or policy to discriminate against them. I am not sure if you want to convert our state into moral police that starts examining peoples thoughts and belief systems. India does not recognize a religion as basis for forming the nation. If people do, thats their problem. India does not recognize an ideology, such as communism, as basis for forming the nation. However, communist government do come into power in various states and they are NOT discriminated against based on their ideology. Thank you.
