Gee, no kidding. My point is, no matter the 'government' policy, it obviously didn't have much impact until about the last 20 years. Hinduism didn't give India 'affirmative action.' It fought against it.
if hindus decided to fight against it - they wouldnt have given it to them in the first place. duhhhh...why give away something when you dont WANT to? as i said pushing a passive religion or people into a corner will only invite a backlash.
