*** It would be difficult if you are ignorant of the fundamentals of what is referred to as Hinduism. I am ignorant. That was why I kept asking what definmes a Hindu. But Ankur explained it well. If you understand and accept one or two or all three of the fundamental proppositions of the Hindu philosophy, you are a Hindu. But if you are ignorant of them, if your concept of your Hindu faith is not backed up with an understanding and acceptance of at least one of the three propositions explained by Ankur earlier, then you are not really a classical Hindu. You can call yourself what you want, but your Hindu-ness is only in name, shallower than skin-deep. And it has nothing to do with Christianity or Islam or their origins or tenets.
