Indian Muslims and Christians should not become more patriotic, they should become Hindu.<br />Koenraad Elsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02503713923882807510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-73274484477484098312013-11-19T02:45:58.450-08:002013-11-19T02:45:58.450-08:00Question for Dr Elst:

Th British had kept them in check, as they did not want religious issues to complicate the matters. But, the Hindu-hating Nehru gave them free reins. Thus, we had missionaries like Michael Scott, sow the seed of cession in the North East. This is now a major problem India is facing against its territorial and cultural integrity. If Nepali Hindus don't wake up to the machinations of the foreign NGOs, Nepal society will go the same way as India, which now suffers from pseudo sickularism and fissiparous movement. I wonder whether dumbness is an inbuilt characteristic of Hindu psyche!Gururaj B Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964816448433835494noreply@blogger.com
