PM's sentiments are really good .but what is happenning on the ground is very important.Hindus do no hate otehrs eing treatd equally and fairly .But preferential treatments to minorities over the majority of the people is not found anywhere else in th eworld .In this country , the Muslims particualrly are accorded a treatment which they can not even imagine in any Islamic theocratic state in the world .This all polotical parites do just for vote and this causes divinonamong th epeople .All citizens should have one and the same civil rights in so far as th ematters relating to the statwe and civil common affairs are concerned .that is nt happenning anywhere in India .Even amoing the minorities , there is discrimination .Christians , jains , sikhs bhuddists and host of other religious groupsd are not even thought of by thegovernment even as citizens. this is because the vote strength of those people is not as great as those of Muslims . to avoid such things , all citizens irrespective of his religiona nd caste shouil;d be trated alike wihtout any bias towards any one .that is the secular state.In this country , even th ecommuists play the religious cards for political atrength.

The word Hindu is not a religious word. It is secular in origin. It is derived from the word Sindhu, which is the name of a major river that flows in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent. The ancient Greeks and Armenians used to refer the people living beyond the river Sindhu as Hindus and gradually the name struck. When the Muslims came to the sub continent they called the people living in the region as Hindustanis to distinguish them from the foreign Muslims. Subsequently when the British established their rule, they started calling the local religions collectively under the name of Hinduism.
It is interesting to note that the word is neither Sanskrit nor Dravidian and did not originate in India. It was not used by Indians in their descriptions or writings till the 17th century. If we go by the original definition of the word Hindu, any one who lives in the subcontinent is a Hindu and whatever religion he or she practices is Hinduism. The word Hindu is a secular word and literally translated it means Indian and the word Hinduism denotes any religion or religions that are practiced by the multitude of people living in the land beyond the river Indus.
