vishwas those types are not the open minded progressives they make themselves out to be, take the above moron himself, he drums on about what everyone in his family is but tells us that the boy he is looking for can't be SC/ST or Brahmin (so he considers all Indians as his brothers and sisters all right but makes exceptions when it comes to the bottom jatis and the Brahmins), in a way that's good because we don't want half xtianised people taking in more naive morons from the Hindu community.
As for the army and dharma, the fact is that a majority of the soldiers are religious, it is the elite in the army that seem to exhibit the behaviour you described, Admiral Ramdas is an example, there is no justification for marrying outside the community whether you are in the army or in any other profession, if som1 decides that they are better off not being Hindus then the community can decide that we are also better off without such traitors and cut off all contact with them.
You must not also forget that the gov't had always tried to erase any Hindu influence in the army and to dehinduise the soldiers, remember a couple of years ago orders were given that women in the army can't wear ear studs and only sindoor will be allowed if it is covered by a beret or peak cap and that men can't wear overtly religious symbols, by this token the Sikh turban is an explicit religious symbol but the gov't never asked them to remove it (and neither should it do so), so it's obvious that the prime targets were the Hindu cadres in the army, what kind of Hindu rashtra is this (as some people claim on the basis that India is already 80% Hindu) when a Hindu woman can't wear a bindi if it's not covered up, even Pakis seem to have given better rights to Hindus, it's nauseating and disgusting to read such news but here was the original thread about that:
