Indonesia comes close to it.

Mr. Sam, clearly define what your objective is, If your objective is for a
prosperous united India, than making India a unsecular Hindu nation will
only bring disaster, No nation has survived as a religious state for long.


I certianly don't believe an iota that the scums that comprise of
RSS/BJP/Congress/ or the Imams can truly bring a just society under an
unsecular India.

Just because some one eles does some thing wrong, that doesn't mean that
India should also do that.

If you objective is to make India unsecular, to satisfy your "Hindu" ego or
to reverse some historical wrong, you are pulling India centuries backward
and not forward, while, you comfortably sit in a foreign nation with all the
rights and condemn millions to religious fanatism.

I suppose, you live in U.S, would you support U.S to become a fully
Christian Nation? or a "Christianva"?.

Now call me a Leftist.
