[quote name='acharya' date='Sep 24 2003, 06:29 AM']Hindus have not yet understood the gigantic nature of the plan against them from Islamic, Chinese and western front.
SInce Hindus do not have any narrative on other lands and civilizations; Hindus are not able to differentate 'us vs them' like other religions.[/quote]
This is the crux of the problem, Acharya, and you have put your finger on it. Hindus have to have a clear differentiation between themselves and "others", not in the negetive connotation of the others as mellichhas (based on ignorance), but a positive differntiation based on a positive identity and self image.
