India is run by minority communities

Lt,Gen Ayyub Khan,

Do you know? India had a Muslim President, has A sardar PM, and lead by a party headed by a foreign born Roman Catholic! India is NOT run by brahmins. In fact, Brahmins have never ruled in India, barring in 2nd century AD.

I am from Karnataka. I seem to know the facts better than you. As far so called kidnapping of girl for travelling with Muslim boy, please note that HIndus believe that Muslims target women as they are the source of future muslim poplulation. Your scripture says that "women are your tilth", an agricultural field to be cultivated to harvest huge crop of muslims. Hindus' action is defensive in preventing Hindu women from falling into the hands of Muslims.

Thirdly, India cannot be talibanized as is happening in Pakistan. In India, democracy is far too strong for any one religion to assert itself as the State religion. Hindus do not have one prophet, who is the Last Prophet of the Jealousy God, nor the Hindus have one scripture which is the only scripture and immutable for all time to come. When there is no single scripture or single prophet to guide the Hindus, how can Hindustan become talibanised? To which fundamental source of religion and law can the Hindus turn to?

Please note that India is not closing down women's schools and colleges. India does not want women to sit at home and mind their families. Indian women of all ages work, including Muslim women. India is not putting nakab or purdah on the face of women, though Tablighies do so for muslim women. These days, you see Indian muslim women in the cities fully clad in black from head to toe, with only eyes showing! Sometimes you cannot make our whether it is a man pretending to be woman! Sania Mirza the Indian tennis player muslim girl had to face half a dozen fatwas about her tennis attire. Give it a thought. Who is on the verge of getting talibanised, the Hindus or the Muslims.

India is essentially a Hindu country. HInduism is a highly adaptable religion. It is the oldest surviving religion. It has changed and respondended to every challenge of the History, always retaining the core belief. Religions and its followers who want to go back to 7th Century Arabia will find themselves in the dustbin of history!

India, your Hindustan, will march on, inspite of the demographic onslaught of Islam!
