None of our ancestors will recognise the kind of "Hindu" you are. They will recognise you as an Indian, no doubt - not contesting that. They will recognise atheist Hindus (who are always pious Hindus, there is <i>no other kind</i> by the way), but you will be a question mark if not straightaway identified as a non-Hindu.
Whether Arjuna is real or mythical is beside the point for Hindus. He represents something to aspire to.
What is it you want India to become? Free from Islam, Christianity, Marxism - to become what?

nope i am not.
i am using the term hindu as hindu.
indian people who do their duty follow their dharma (duty). no two ways about that. mugging slokas and taking bribes doesnt help. rather know not a single sloka but be dutyful and honest.
you seem to lok at hinduism, as a set of laws to be followed. hinduism isnt a religion (as the abrahamics understand it) - its a way of life, and of the people, by the people and for the people.
i always thought hinduism ws something that followed the peope of india, cos its the bell curve of all our existing religious belief.
and firstly i'd want india to be free - and then free from islam, marzists and free from lunatic analogies and free of a theocratical hindu central command.
