Attacks on Hindu and Hindu religion is not new. If History is to be belived, our country was attacked by Mohammad Gajni, Tamur, Sikandar, etc. to loot our wealth and peace. Our Hindu kings never thought of crossing the Indian border and convert non-hindus into hindus. Today it seems history is repeating itself in some other form such as terror attacks by Islamic countries and conversion of Hindus to Christianity. Congress has questioned existence of Ram - can they question existence of Allah or Christ in the same lines? No, Never. If Government disbelieves Ramayana it clearly means they also does not believe in Koran and Bible, etc.

The problem is you cannot convert someone into Hindu ... because there is no such thing as "Hindu" ... the term was coined to define people who were neither Muslim nor Christians nor Jews .....the only reason why "Hinduism" (we have to use this term to define practises, philosophy and culture which existed well before the other now dominant religions were no where in sight ....Relax ...Hinduism is Sanatan and will remain so ...Eternal ....

Nice to see some sane voice. we should stop thinking in terms of hindu, muslim and christian and focus on our identity as Indians first. Religion needs to go beyond rituals, labels and externals and focus on values and principles of being a good human first. Being religious is easy being spiritual is not but the latter is meaningful and needed for peaceful co-existence.

Mr. Seeker of Truth - please give your lecture to Dawood Ibrahim & Co. who were Indian first. Islamic countries do not want India to prosper and therefore are taking the help of some Islamic Indians for terror attacks in our country.

Till the liberalisation came about most of India's foreign exchange came from gulf muslim countries where millions of indians (hindus, muslims and christians) are still working. Dawood Ibrahim is a creation of our own corrupt system where you can bribe and get passports and land RDX by bribing customs officials who have no religion. You need to see the big picture before jumping into wrong conclusions.

Mr. Seeker - Gulf Muslim countries were in urgent need of cheap skilled/semiskilled worker for their infrastucure development and they got it from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. Please tell me how many swiss, german or american people work as skilled/semiskilled worker in these countries - almost none. Thanks to Nehru and Congress Government policy for 3-fold increase in India's population after 1947.
