This was bound to happened. Earlier ,the state of Nepal was a Hindu state. You cannot dope the people by the pill of religeon all the time. People want dicipline,transparancy and progress and a corruption free future. This is a wake up call for the hindu zealots and saffronic organizations in India who wants to turn Mother India into a fanatic Hindu State.

Cite one example (resolutions, manifesto, etc.,) where "saffronic organisations" in India demanded a HINDU STATE.

From an article by badri Raina 10June 2006- "Long before Jinnah the founder of Pakistan, stipulated that Hindus and Muslims constituted separate %u2018nations,%u2019and asked for a separate muslim State (1940), it was the Hindutva ideologue, Savarkar, who had expressed this theory first(1923). He laid the hypothesis that only those who were both born in India ( pitra bhumi) and bore allegiance to forms of religion %u2018indigenous%u2019 to India ( punya bhumi) could be considered %u2018Indian.%u2019 Muslims and Christians were thus excluded from %u2018Indianness%u2019, since their chief places of worship lay outside the territory of India. Following upon that, Golwalkar, the then RSS chief (or Sarsangchalak) in a pernicious book, We, Our Nationhood(1939), which unabashedly lauded the Nazis for having elevated %u2018race pride%u2019 to unprecedented heights, warned India%u2019s religious minorities in no uncertain terms that unless they learnt to subjugate themselves wholly and without demur to dominant Hindu culture, and venerated Hindu gods, all their rights, including those of citizenship, would be denied them in the stipulated Hindu Rashtra (Hindu theocratic State).

Hindu Rastra and hindu state (govt run on Hindu ideology) are two different thing. The former is a DEMOGRAPHIC & CULTURAL concept; the later is a concept relating to theocratic state (like islamic state/ shariayat).

If Hindus want to save Hindu Religion, we all should return to worshipin Bholenath, Shivji and come away from all the stupor of worshiping various humans of various times in the forms of Avtars and what not. Pray before Lord Shiva and Mata. Only way to save the Hindu Religion.

Manju, the name is very sweet. what i wanted tell is that it better consider vishnu also. shivji always get into trouble and vishnu has to come for his help. shivji's romantic inclination is much more. once vishnu saved him from asura shivji on seen vishnu in girl's dress shivji become romantic and you know what happened later. so join vishnu also.
