My dear fellow, Are you an Indian? Your question betrays a kind of smugness. There is no Hindu religion as Christians and Muslims understand it. There is no prophet, no revelation, no real divine book, no organised body, not even actually a priesthood to which entry is regulated. You, if you are brown skinned, could drape youself in a dhoti, smear some ash on your forehead, mumble something which sounded lik Sanskrit and be in business. It is amorphous, which is both its weakness and strength. It is remarkably accepting which is also both a weakness and strength. Perhaps this from te last thousand years of history, when must Hindus were ruled by Muslim and Christian rulers, perhaps it was always like that.. Essentially Hinduism, whatever it means , was no position to compete in military terms wi either Christianity or Islam and Islamic and Christian armies always won overwhelming victories against Hindu kings and armies. This history perhaps is the cause of your smug superiority, but I acknowledge it is also true... As for Mnohar Parrikar, do what the guy did, sue him in Indian courts or English courts.
