Hi Selma
Thanks for an excellent reply to Anjali. I had sent a brief one too but I
don't think it has appeared on Goanet yet. One serious error Anjali makes is to
forget that India is a secular state. It is definitely not Hindu India even
though the population is predominantly Hindu. Great care was taken by Nehru and
others to reject the suggestion that India be called Hindustan and also to
emphasise strongly its secular foundations.

Gadgil had written a nice piece about sanity amidst
madness. Now, I consider Goanet a microcosm of the
world at large. It frightens me no end that the
majority of Hindu voices on this forum tend to be
shrill and extreme and that only a handful are
moderate and discerning. If this is a reflection of
how Hindus feel in India, then we as Indians are in
trouble indeed.
You mean to tell me that you feel under attack in a
land of 600 million plus fellow Hindus? If so, have
you thought about how insecure minorities like
Christians and Muslims feel?
