That seems relevant here. While the elite is worried about this issue, the common man isn't, because he has other problems to think of. That's why no Hindu movement, including Ram Mandir and Ram Setu, ever succeeds, it's because the common man is too concerned about basic survival to even consider these matters.

I guess this applies only to Hindus. Doesn't seem to faze other faith's poor and starving adherents - either in their fervor or fantaticism.

It applies to all. Muslims who're poor must concern themselves with alleviating their poverty, they shouldn't worry about Allah and stuff. But the reason I am referring to Hindus is for two reasons:
#1 Hindu-Baiters can always point to the poverty of Hindus, and say why are hindus worrying about Ram, when they don't have bread to eat.
#2 A starving Hindu population wouldn't be ready for a revolution, so even from a Hindu perspective, what I say is true.
The problem here is, Most people here, like our comrade Vishwas <!--emo&
