When the Hindus outnumber the Dindu’s you get real electoral change.

Trump blew this today by referring to 'one God' in his speech.




...J/K Hindus worship many gods but they aren't simpletons.

That won’t be a problem.

All the Hindus I know at work realize we agree to disagree, but that doesn’t affect our friendship nor my enjoyment of their food!

But then again, they worship this - so voting Republican would only seem right.

Hindus remember the “Moghul Invasion” and see Obama’s policies and Hillary’s future policies as basically inviting a second one in the country they now live in.

He needs to stay off the narrow rails. Faith is an individual thing and no human can speak for another regarding their faith.

It’s not hard to be smarter than the average human, so Trump needs to hire only the smartest of advisors.

India recognizes almost all of the major religious holidays, including Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter.

The part of my team that is offshore takes a lot of holidays...

Hindu’s in US universities excel in academic achievement as a group, exceeding the averages of American born whites.

Anecdotal at best, but I am going back to school and all 4 Indians that have engaged me about US politics are Trump supporters. They are all mid 20s.
