<p>‘Why do they NEED to have a religious state?’<p>I don’t know, but I guess we can also ask:<p>Why does England NEED to be the only Christian Anglican country in the world?<p>Why does Saudi Arabia NEED to be an Islamic State?<p>Why would Indian Hindus want a Hindu nation? I guess it’s called Democracy.<p>Are you against Democracy?</p>

<p>Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all ‘People of the Book’. Hindus scriptural texts are the Vedas.<p>Abrahamic faiths are monotheistic and against idol worship. While not all Hindus worship idols and multiple gods, these practices are not blasphemy or apostasy.<p>There is a binary criteria amongst Abrahamic religions about what constitutes membership.</p>

<p>Let me explain: there is State religion, Dominant religion, Secularism.<p>1. Western Europe has a dominant religion but not officially secular.<p>2. Only 5 nations(please correct me with source material) that are secular by constitution.<p>3. The secular nations are : India United States, France, Japan and Australia.<p>4. Exceptions: Russia for example has no religion. Vietnam is officially atheist. But the dominant religion is Buddhism.<p>5. Nepal was the only Hindu nation until recently before the Maoist insurgency and Hindu as official state religion was struck off.<p>6. India is officially a Secular State. The dominant and majority religion is Hinduism, but principles of secularism is not practiced as Muslims and minorities enjoy more religious privileges than the majority Hindus.<p>7. This makes India secular in name only. It penalizes the majority of the religious citizens by denying them equal rights and privileges under law.<p>8. My opinion is that Hindus should have a Hindu nation where they are a majority at one billion especially because there is no other Hindu nation in the world and  India is civilisationally Hindu and all Hindu shrines and holy places and sacred texts have ancient India or Bharat as its origin site.<p>All of this information with supporting evidence and official state dictates is available in the public domain and official state records.<p>I am going to ignore your second paragraph. It was an attack, unnecessary and personal.</p>

<p>Hinduism is a new term. We follow Sanatana Dharma and our basis is Vedism.<p>Judaism..as it is now.. wasn’t always monotheist. And it evolved over time. And not as old as Hinduism.<p>Texts and inscriptions and temples from the Vedic period are much older. And that’s why there has been a systematic purge, revisionism, faulty translations and suppression of civilizational history. Hinduism..as it’s known now..is and was decentralized giving it the ability to survive and thrive millennia.<p>While it can be called many names and has been co opted, our source text is common to all who call themselves Hindu and that is the Vedas…our religious text.</p>

<p>Sure, perhaps they are not your gods and artifacts that are hundreds of years old as I don’t know anything about your faith.  I think a billion other Hindus would disagree with you.<p>There are 79000 temples in TamilNadu alone. Most of the churches and mosques are built upon temples destroyed by the invading hordes and conversion mafias. Many of the existing temples are hundreds of years old and are heritage buildings.<p>The rest of the abrahamic monotheistic faiths do not have idol worship and are barely two thousand years old compared to ancient Vedic Hinduism. Their wealth is looted wealth while ancient India is millennia old.<p>Christies and Sothebys and the British museum is full of looted treasures.</p>

They should remain with people who value them instead of handing them over to the govt.<p>In our home library, we lost so many books where the pages were so brittle that they would break like biscuits. But the religious palm leaf scripts that have been in the family for generations were well preserved as they were wrapped in cloth. We also had some inscriptions on copper plates or some other kind of alloy metal. They were at the altar in the prayer room and kept submerged in water always. I don’t know what language it was but it was none of the known modern languages.<p>Even today., in the deep south, there are palm leaf astrologers whose lineage have owned Nadi astrology palm leaf manuscripts that is supposed to relate everything about you life and past lives including when you will visit the astrologer. There are some authentic lineages.<p>The text is written in Vatteluttu and script knowledge is passed down lineages only    <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatteluttu" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatteluttu</a><p>Nadi astrology <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadi_astrology" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadi_astrology</a></p>

<p>No. Buddhism is not Hinduism. Buddhists are not Hindus.<p>Perhaps what you say is true. But Hinduism came from India and most of the world’s Hindus live in India.<p>One would expect India will declare   Hinduism as their official religion as they should.<p>When a nation’s religious majority is unable to defend its rights, then it’s an invasion. It can be by the sword or by conversion. It’s still a displacement and replacement strategy. Indian Hindus are waking up to it. About time.<p>There is no country in the world where Hinduism is the official religion. Even India where 79% of the population are Hindus.<p>Nepal used to be the only Hindu nation in the world but that changed recently during the Maoist insurgency.<p>Who knows. We will have to wait and see.</p>

<p>The temples are places of worship for Hindu deities. If that’s not Hindu identity, what is?<p>India is Hindu. Hinduism was a term coined later for Sanatana Dharma that was based on Vedism, the study and worship of Vedas.<p>It included all forms of worship under one umbrella. It worked out well as a diverse society with one identity until monotheistic Abrahamic faiths and their adherents came as invaders and colonizers.<p>For most of the rest of the world, a few hundred years ago is ancient history. For India, it goes back thousands of years. And that is the identity of India. Everything else is imported and new.</p>
