Iceman, I think you are overestimating the unifying value of religion
in India when the Brits came on the scene.  India was ripe for the
picking because it was not a unified country but a bunch of waring
Maharaja-run states.  It was already divided and only needed to be
conquered. 

I'm not sure I understand your focus on Shankara's Maths and their
relationship with MMY.  Are you a believer in the traditions that they
represent?   Do you identify yourself as a believer in Sanatana Dharma?

When you use the "Namaste" are you being funny, or is that a term that
you are using at face value?  Since I do not have any gods in me there
is no need for your god to honor mine if you address me.  Thanks.
