hindus are definitely more liberal than muslims and they dont go around claiming that their religion is best and rest are all "kafars".\nhindu religion respects women and doesn't hide them in burkhas. every hindu person gets equal opportunity to learn and practice his own beliefs. these qualities have helped indians to progress fast and make india a better place to live than pakistan.\nSee, our PM is sikh, president is muslim, still india is peaceful and democratic nation. pakistan was founded on the basis of religion and still muslims there are killing each other.\ngot the difference?

5. \n\n  they have all the legal/ constituotional rights and some times more rights than majority. for while they are allowed to open community schools and organnizations to propogate and preserve their culture those sects which are accepted in hinduism can not do so. hindu temples are taxed. muslims going to mecca are subsidised from government funds. they still have personal laws and for marriage divorce or inheritence they go by it. \n\n  in undevided india muslims were 14% of poplulation. in  pakistan area hindus were 23% and bagladesh 33%. now they are 2% and 10 % of the population in respective countries. but in india muslims are 20-30% of population. we have muslim immigraents legal and illegal both kind from all neighbouring countries. be it bangladesh , afganistan even pakistan. i doubt in any other country a community which gave the majority so many grivences will dare to go if they had any fear of being retaliated.\n\n  in india, majority of hindus behaves tolerantly. there have been a few hindu retaliations but each time it happenned when pushed too far by continuous  one sided provocations of minorities . \n\n    though i am getting worried if we could keep this fabric in future upto much extent. ongoing conversion to christianity drives are posing new challages to majority patience.\n\n   church has always resorted to theological deciet for conversion in india. they often pick local heroic stories and replace name of jesus with it. in Asam they replace name of rama and krishna with jesus in famous bar geets till the locals reacted angrily . last year on krishna janmashtami they set up stalls and the pictures based on krishna's life in Banglore. but they replced Krishna with infant jesus . all the famous devotees of Krishna were shown as they were worshipping jesus instead. \n\n Church congregations use harassment, ostracism and other forms of force to increase their flock. Non-converted portions of a family land into disputes with neo-Christian portions over funeral customs, ownership of land and other matters and this result in clashes between groups which newspapers promptly label as anti–Christian acts, whereas these are often clashes between converted and non-converted tribals.\n\nchristians mssionaries in India have often been a divisive force, which used the tribals for advocating a breaking-up of the country. Today, Christian terrorists feel emboldened to use the gun to force Jesus down the throats of unwilling tribals. North East india is the worst affected part.\n\n missionaries actively involve in bad mouthing local relegions. last year a mr cooper came on tourist visa. he not only violated visa rules he went on to call Krishna a satan and that Krishna is the cause of AIDS.they keep on behaving outragiously for conversion and when locals react even a bit they call it christian persecution. \n\nI sincerely hope that we will able to take this pressure in future too and will be able overcome it in a peacefull manner maintaing our own heritage, culture and beliefs. It is really unique. unity between diversity is our motto for at least 6000 years now.

It is the scheduled castes, tribes, backward communities  that have benefited the most from this segregation. When Ambedkar envisaged reservation, he thought that within 40 years of Independence, all the castes would be assimilated and the Hindus will have one homogeneous caste.\n\nToday to the SC, ST, BC have been added minorities who have reservations in every aspect of life, right from preference in schools, to jobs, to everything in life.\n\nIt is said that one man cannot pay for the sin/s of another. The SC, etc say that my forefathers have looted, cheated, commit ed atrocities on them and I should pay for this by giving them various concessions. I have checked up my family history over three generations, I have not come across any case of any atrocity by my forefathers. So I am being paid for crimes that my ancestors never committed, just because appeasement of these segments will win votes for the politicians and assure them another six years in power.\n\nIronical, isn't it Ambedkar started the reservation policy to assimilate his people, all ta-ht it has ended up doing is increased awareness in segregation and chaos in the country!\n\nst

Look at history!\nPakistan and India, as well as Bangladesh, are the same people, they were the same state for thousands of years, until British decided to step in. When the Hindu people throw them out, the British intelligence provoked a civil war and the three states were created! Thus, in the last 5 decades there are the problems between them, especially between Pakistan and India!\nI think that the problems continue because there is outside "help"! Without it, the two sister countries would have resolved all matters and would not need to fight for anything!

India is one of the most exotic places in the world that offers such a rich and ancient history, culture, music, art, religion and traditions.\n\nIndia gained its independence from the British rule in 1947 and is a fairly "young" republic. But with a population of over a billion people today, the country is plagued with poverty that seems insurmountable due to the corruption in government that remains unchecked, a lackluster economy, and perhaps an aftermath of their customary caste system.\n\nThere has been on-going border tension between India [majority Hindus] and its neighbor, Pakistan [majority Muslims] in that sub-continent part in Asia.\n\nOne thing I admire among its people is their manner of greeting each other--with both palms together in prayer form as they nod to greet--which symbolizes their 'RESPECT TO THE DEITY WITHIN' the other person. Ain't that so great?\n\nMore people should practice that tradition openly... And perhaps we will have a much better world to live in!

India's deal?  Then yes.  This is from an answer I gave on a similar question:\n\nBy formally separating the military and civilian nuclear reasearch, India has giving the US, the UN, and the IAEA room to employ the Diplomatic portion of national power.\n\nNational power is dirived from the DIME principle (Diplomatic, Informational, Military, Economic). \n\nIn agreeing to separate the nuclear systems, India gave negotiation room to the US and the world, which may lead to regional disarmarment. The goal is to get Pakistan to agree to the same deal. By doing so, it allows the hostile countries to get away from an "all or nothing" position in nuclear negotiations. There are also economic benefits in this for both as they can avoid sanctions.\n\nIf this all works out (Diplomacy is the hardest to predict of the aspects of national power), then it could lead to an increase in regional stability and closer ties between India, Paskistan, and the world.\n\nThis also allows for more diplomacy than is possible with the Iranian situation. If Iran continues to isolate itself diplomatically and economically, other nations will have few options outside military force in dealing with Iran. Of course, seeing that they can maintain a civilian nuclear power system through diplomacy may make some of the cooler heads in Iran come around to negotiating.\n\nWith the dicators Iran has now, that, in my opinion, is doubtfull...

India's History\n\n India's extraordinary history is intimately tied to its geography. A meeting ground between the East and the West, it has always been an invader's paradise, while at the same time its natural isolation and magnetic religions allowed it to adapt to and absorb many of the peoples who penetrated its mountain passes. No matter how many Persians, Greeks, Chinese nomads, Arabs, Portuguese, British and other raiders had their way with the land, local Hindu kingdoms invariably survived their depradations, living out their own sagas of conquest and collapse. All the while, these local dynasties built upon the roots of a culture well established since the time of the first invaders, the Aryans. In short, India has always been simply too big, too complicated, and too culturally subtle to let any one empire dominate it for long. \n\nTrue to the haphazard ambiance of the country, the discovery of India's most ancient civilization literally happened by accident. British engineers in the mid-1800's, busy constructing a railway line between Karachi and Punjab, found ancient, kiln-baked bricks along the path of the track. This discovery was treated at the time as little more than a curiosity, but archaeologists later revisited the site in the 1920's and determined that the bricks were over 5000 years old. Soon afterward, two important cities were discovered: Harappa on the Ravi river, and Mohenjodaro on the Indus. \n\nThe civilization that laid the bricks, one of the world's oldest, was known as the Indus. They had a written language and were highly sophisticated. Dating back to 3000 BC, they originated in the south and moved north, building complex, mathematically-planned cities. Some of these towns were almost three miles in diameter and contained as many as 30,000 residents. These ancient municipalities had granaries, citadels, and even household toilets. In Mohenjodaro, a mile-long canal connected the city to the sea, and trading ships sailed as far as Mesopotamia. At its height, the Indus civilization extended over half a million square miles across the Indus river valley, and though it existed at the same time as the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Sumer, it far outlasted them. \n\nThe first group to invade India were the Aryans, who came out of the north in about 1500 BC. The Aryans brought with them strong cultural traditions that, miraculously, still remain in force today. They spoke and wrote in a language called Sanskrit, which was later used in the first documentation of the Vedas. Though warriors and conquerors, the Aryans lived alongside Indus, introducing them to the caste system and establishing the basis of the Indian religions. The Aryans inhabited the northern regions for about 700 years, then moved further south and east when they developed iron tools and weapons. They eventually settled the Ganges valley and built large kingdoms throughout much of northern India. \n\nThe second great invasion into India occurred around 500 BC, when the Persian kings Cyrus and Darius, pushing their empire eastward, conquered the ever-prized Indus Valley. Compared to the Aryans, the Persian influence was marginal, perhaps because they were only able to occupy the region for a relatively brief period of about 150 years. The Persians were in turn conquered by the Greeks under Alexander the Great, who swept through the country as far as the Beas River, where he defeated king Porus and an army of 200 elephants in 326 BC. The tireless, charismatic conqueror wanted to extend his empire even further eastward, but his own troops (undoubtedly exhausted) refused to continue. Alexander returned home, leaving behind garrisons to keep the trade routes open. \n\n While the Persians and Greeks subdued the Indus Valley and the northwest, Aryan-based kingdoms continued developing in the East. In the 5th century BC, Siddhartha Gautama founded the religion of Buddhism, a profoundly influential work of human th
