It is sadder that the intelligentsia somehow always figures out a way of blaming the hindus for everything.

Do you seriously think that *all* of the hindus will come out of poverty at any time ? Does religious conversion seriously raise someone out of poverty ?
The above I feel is not only a useless criticism but totally missing the whole purpose of this thread. This thread is meant to highlight the active role of faith as part of diplomacy. GoI and intelligentsia have shown a complete blind spot regarding this. The US today, European powers before, Islamic invaders before that all blended 'faith' as part of their assault on the Indian Civilization. The results are for all to see. And what does GoI do ? Come up with nonsensical statements ! This blind spot has to go.
