Many countries use the term Hindu to refer to India

In most countries, the term Hindu is used to refer to India in their native language. Seems in China or Japan.

But alas there is no single Hindu country in the world..
every thing is made secular, saying that we should have freedom to practice and preach other religions

It is the guts of only Hindus to declare Nepal the only country of Hindus as secular equal for all. We hindus are not sheep. We do not follow fatwas. Thank god, we believe in invidual effort not combined effort as combined effort cannot ensure brilliance in children.

It is hindu children wordlwide who top in US, UK, Canada and whereever they are. In last 50 years it is only because of wise hindus country has grown from ash to top. Those who think that they will meet Jesus or Allah are the most stupid people. Muslims like smelling farts of their fellow brothers.

Mr.sitaram sakthi, hinduism is not a religion in its narrow sense. There is no need for any "protector" nor a kingdom for hinduism to survive. Hinduism has survived the onslaught of Semitic religions for nearly 1000 years. Still the majority in our Country are following the indignous religions. That itself is proof of the inherent strength of our culture.
