The tendency is to imagine they're merely denying Hindus a word. They're not. It is an identity - something *deserving* of a word to encompass it - that is being denied.)
Did say. The enemies know what they're doing - and they know why they do it. And they've latched onto the perfect thing. But I wonder ....whether they know to wield it to its maximum capacity - it has the lethal blow in it, after all - rather than under-use it as a pathetic blunt instrument.
But then, who can blame enemies, when Hindus insist on doing it to themselves and *would* argue for it. Blind as they are and will remain to the automatic de-recognition of Hindoo laity as a consequence (which has been making the latter's positon even more vulnerable). And blind too to how there are many more vultures about than just christianism.
Always was a damnable mistake. Enemies, if they have half a brain, will take full advantage - as they should. They're playing to win after all.
