Thanks chandramoulee.
Ravish,
Being religious and spending time with religious spiritual matters can't be equated with those using religion in political arena.

And I'll concede that a 'substantial number of Hindus' too worked overtime under British to keep India enslaved for 250 years and the same 'substantial number of Hindus' fought alongside Mughal invaders. It's something worth thinking and exploring about.
I think it was Talveen Singh of Indian Express who questioned as to why it's easier in India to gather a crowd to burn effigies some Danish cartoonist (that one has never seen) compared to total apathy for protesting against govt inaction say after Mumbai train blasts.
I have pointed you to few threads where this discussion is more relevant. Perhaps you can answer a question by another postor as to why the present gov't expressed concern about Jews converting the so called lost tribe in Mizoram to Judaism from Christianity. Let's accept for arguments sake that the govt is Hindu, all govt babus too are Hindus and the judiciary too is Hindu.
