Dear Mr. Francois, As I much as I respect a persons opinion I am inclined to disagree with those opinions that are mal-formed. Yours for example. Just because we have a Sikh Prime minister and a Muslim president should be something that India should be proud of. For they would never have risen to the positions they share without the education & wisdom that a nation like India has. It only goes to show that India's wisdom is uniformly shared amoung all. And that my friend is a good thing. Just because theres no 'Hindu' president or Prime minister doesn't mean that the Hindu community lack anything. I also wonder if you know the difference between Culture & religion. Have you ever seen the Christians down south? Esp. the Tamilians. They sing bhajans, they light diyas & use coconuts at their prayer meetings. Exactly like a Hindu. But you seem to have this notion that India should be 'ruled' by a Hindu. A person maybe Hindu or Christian or Sikh on the outside, but inside they may follow their own whims & desires. They may not necessarily following the path that their religion describes. Having said that I hope your opinions maybe better formed next time.
