What more can one expect from a secular, feminist and modern Indian except anti-hinduism? It's a leathal combination.
Cencus says that hindu's still make up close to 80% of India. But in reality the number is much much much lesser. In some parts of India (like bengal for example) I doubt if hindu's exist anymore <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Being hindu is not about being on top of all our customs, knowing vedas by heart or participating in rituals. The main criteria is the word "sraddhA". w/o sraddha regular paricipation in rituals becomes just a drill. Few hindu's have sraddha left for their culture and religion.
