Ravish,
I don't know if anyone is saying Hindu Rashtra is not achievable. All I am saying is that, with the current lot of Hindus:
1. Either Hindu Rashtra is not achievable in the near future, OR
2. Even if achieved, it will be an empty slogan, a travesty. Hinduism will not be helped by it.
Fundamentally, the Hindu Rashtra is a political superstructure, built on the foundation of the <b>lay Hindu's faith</b>. If the faith and the love of religion and the Gods are lacking, <b>in sufficient numbers</b>, nothing built above it will endure.
