So the first task would be for those who realise this, should explain to those who don't. great skills are required to install pride about our culture in these hindus who look down up on them selves and their past. They should not be taunted, offended or made fun of. They should be patiently reasoned with. to some this may seem hopeless, but for those who are willing to try, must.

Do hindus have stomach to play this game, reconstruct the identity and demand political freedom? or continue the slide and end up in doghouse again?

We should not wait to see who all will join us in the allegiance to the nation. we should be the first to give our unquestioned allegience to India. Then work for encouraging others to do the same.
2000 years ago we had cut ourselves from the rest of the world. We achieved great humanitarian succesess among ourselves, all the while being absolutly oblivious to the viciousness growing around us. Our ansestors paid a heavy price for being naieve. But never the less they were still some how able to get our religion and culture out of, what could have been a certain extinction. They brought it out tatered and dirty but still alive. They did their job, now we must do ours. No time in the history of India there were somany Indians outside India, .. able to understand other cultures and truely appritiate ours. We are the first. We have to do the task that has not been done before. We had never known the white man and the muslim better then we know them now. let us learn and adapt.
It took us time to understand the game, but now....lets play!
