Yes but what has it got to do with the topic above? I don't think that anybody here said that Hinduism was the best religion in the world. I don't know why you had to bring up Gujarat. All Maneesh said was that Indians are pro Americans and Hindus dont have very many problems with Christians (at least as compared with Muslims).

This thread has already become another India bashing thread as I can see and which are not so uncommon at FR.

It seems you have been going thru' previous post of many FR members of this thread. If you care to go thru' my previous posts you will know more about my views on Gujarat.

I brought up Gujarat in response to Maneesh's post number 8. A great many Hindu's do have problems with Christians in India, but the issue seems most concentrated in Gujarat state. By the way it is very telling to me that you interpret my specific comments on a particular problem state in India as Indian bashing,or as an attack on all INDIA.

You'll find many freepers back India on the issues of Kashmir and we completely sympathize with the sufferings of Hindu families and Seiks as well who have been butchered by Muslim extremists there!

I comprhend India's need to pursue its own course independently of US interests by negotiating occaisionally with Russia and Europe regarding its security needs at the same time pursuing a good working relationship with the US. She is struggling to acheive a stable balance of power in Asia. India has nuclear armed hostile neighbors to its east(China) and west(Pakistan) and cannot entirely trust China not to invade should she be involved in a fight with Pakistan at the same time. She also knows that the US cannot be everywhere at once and that she'll need to provide much of the bulk of her own self defence.

Now do I still sound like a total India basher? My only regret is that India didn't get Kashmir before her neighbor became nuclear armed!
