Since your objective seems to be to define who a hindu is, arent you being a bit elitist here? Last time i checked the overwhelming majority of indians were not slobbering after software engineering.
Hindus have not produced many sociologists or historians. Where are the PhDs studying and documenting Indian society? Not too many Hindus as far as I can tell.
This is most probably because becoming a sociologist or a historian does not pay. its a fact that most arts faculties are neglected and underfunded. Pray, tell me which mother in her right mind would arrange-marriage her daughter to a poor historian or a sociologist?
