Vishwasji and Virenji ,points made by both of you are well taken.
Perhaps a Hindu should take pride to be a Hindu, then only some of the traditions and customs likely to survive.In the present day nuclear family,in many cases,both parents being from different States and different languistic background and in the absense of a grandmother around, a infant will have no one to tell him about Indian mythology and other matters.
Perhaps it may be a good idea that students are taught about religion as part of their course.This can be made applicable to all schools run or funded by the State. A child will have at least some exposure to his or her to religious thoughts.
