It was Congress who killed Sikhs not Hindus. There are no Hindus in Congress. It is party of anti-nationals and traitors and boot-lickers of the dynasty.

And Indians call themselves secular because nowhere else minorities enjoy so many rights as they do in India including the hostile minority. And India has this secular character ONLY and ONLY because of Hindus being in majority. Otherwise you should really ask Sikhs in Afghanistan (if any left) and Pakistan (if any left) that how much they enjoy there.

Hindi is a language. Hindu (hinduism) is a religion... well, a family of related religions, rather. Hindustan is a region in India.

Hindi is definitely not the only language spoken in India, there are lots of others.

Not only hindus but people of various other faiths live in India too.

No, the name Hindustan isn't used for the same area as India.

Do they? I'd rather guess the country is called secular, which means the government doesn't impose a particular religion and the laws aren't derived from religious rules. I'd be pretty surprised if most people in India were secular - for me, a secular person means someone who doesn't think of their religion much.

To the last question... I don't know but let me ask another question. Why do so many Christians in the USA think it's their own country only and they only want Christians (sometimes they even make requirements abou their denomination) to live there?

And if you're talking about pogroms, those don't ever have anything substantial to do with the identity of the scapegoat minority. That's frustration of the crowd carefully redirected away from the establishment to already oppressed victims.

Hi ! Please broaden your idea - a Hindu is - from the word SINDHU - the river Indus - it was difficult for non-Indians ( Iranians/ Persians )to speak Sindhu - they called us - HINDU - AND WE WERE CALLED SO ! The word 'Hindu' is neither Sanskrit nor Dravidian and did not originate in India, which was known as Bharata. It was not used in Indian writings until the 17th century. The term Hindu was originally a secular word meant to describe all inhabitants of India and it acquired religious and communal overtones during British Rule .

Hindi belongs to 1000 BC and later modification kept on adding up. Now it is spoken in many countries - because of India's popularity and peoples' love for the language and migration of so many Indians - as per you - Hindus to other countries.

Earlier Hindus only lived in India - and this way of life - HINDUISM - spread all over , where ever they went for trade etc.

Of course - abode of Hindus (mainly) is Hindustan - as such Nepal is also a Hindu state ! meaning Hindu religion is followed mainly.

We are secular - because we respect every religion ! all caste and religions are flourishing in our country !

Because of some narrow minded people - with limited thinking - who create these riots etc. oue secular nature cannot be changed. !

Inspite of these riots - all are still here ! Better think broader ! think Human and be Happy !

Jai HIND !

If you called it Hindustan then every native is Hindustani...if it's Bharat then every native is Bhartiya if it's India then every native is Indian.

Hindi is Rajbhasha of republican of India, and it is only one language spoken in almost each and every part of India, with different styles and pronuciations.

Hindu-Muslim-Sikh-Christian...etc. all communities lives in India.

Why can't Indian call them secular?

If an American think that America is his country and he is citizen of America...if a British can think in that same way then why can't a Hindu?

Nope, I dont think like that and most of Indians wont also think like that... Riots happen when anyone instigates, you well know why Sikh riots happened and Anti-Muslim riots in 2002 happened cause a train was torched which had Hindu pilgrims... consider if an Indian kills US president, then all Indians will be sent home or beaten who all stays in US... Am not supporting riots, its bad what happened and no justification lives lost..

All egos

Hindu, Hindustan was a name given by an Arab invader

India is a name taken from Indiana given by the west as a little look alike of the red Indian tribe

There is no contribution of civilization from bharat

We Indian just like free credit to claims

Oh, gush! One by one pls!

As far as I know there are many languages in India. Beside Hinglish, of course. But I didn't know that Hindus are racist. But believe me, everybody in this world is racist to some extent. U love ur own race and ethnicity,and I love mine, for example. But I love Indian languages. I don't know which one it is, but i hear the song something like this:

del me darde sa jagahe

gata sakahi lagahe

mohabat yenahi dogahe....



(Nameste is hello, am i right?)

The increasing Islamisation of Pakistan and antagonism against India, a nation with a Hindu majority, has been an influential factor in the persecution of and discrimination against religious minorities, including Hindus. Such Islamisation include the blasphemy laws, which make it dangerous for religious minorities to express themselves freely and engage freely in religious and cultural activities. The promulgation of Sharia, Quranic law has also increased the marginalisation of Hindus and other minorities. Following the Babri Mosque riots in India, riots and attacks on Hindus in retaliation has only increased; Hindus in Pakistan are routinely affected by communal incidents in India and violent developments on the Kashmir conflict between the two nations. It remains the hope of many that a permanent peace between the two nations will go a long way in making life better for the roughly 3 million Hindus living in Pakistan. The 1998 census recorded 2,443,614 Hindus in Pakistan.[16]



Hindu minorities, under Taliban rule in Swat, were forced to wear Red headgear such as turbans as a symbol of dhimmi.[17] In July 2010, around 60 members of the minority Hindus in Karachi were attacked and ethnically cleansed following an incident when a Hindu youth drank from a water tap near an Islamic mosque[18][19] The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan came out with a report in 2010 stating that at least 25 Hindu girls are abducted in Pakistan every month.[20] The increasing Islamization of Pakistan and antagonism against India, a nation with a Hindu majority, has been an influential factor in the persecution of Hindus.

Before teaching Hindus meaning of secularism go in Pakistan or Bangladesh and teach them what secularism means .India is our country .We have no problem with other communities until they don't try to harm us .Every one speak about muslim died in Godhara but what when they have burned 59 hindu saints along with there women and children in the Train at godhara and about those 350 hindus which are also died in same riots.What was our seculars were doing when muslims forces 5 lakhs kashmiri pandits to get out of kashmir ( there mother land ) after killing there relatives ,childrens ,raping there women and buring there houses .



Answer me Why Secular only criticize Hindus for there acts and remain quiet for the act of other communities ?.... If this mean secularism Sorry then I am not a secular .....because I can't let any one to Destroy my temples ,to Insult my Religion ,to kill me or my brothers ,destroy my properties and raping my women just to prove that how much secular I am .



And Anti-Sikh Riots was not done by Hindus it was done by congress minsters as Rajeev Gandhi said after it "when a big tree falls, the earth shakes " — during the brutal massacre of Sikhs in 1984.Sikhs are our brothers we have same origin then how can we hate them .....There is no hate b/w sikhs and Hindus . We Hindus also respect Guru Nanak Dev ,Guru Govind singh same as much Sikhs do . Though India is not just only for Hindus its a secular nation but it doesn't mean we will not respond and remain quiet if some one tries to harm us , our religion or our nation and remember India is a secular nation only until Hindus are in majorities ......



I am Proud to be a Hindu .......Jai Hind ,Jai Bharat .
