What if an Indian had written this... Would anyone have believed?? Article by Maria Wirth Though I have lived in India for a long time, there are still issues here that I find hard to understand. For example, why do so many educated Indians become agitated when India is referred to as a Hindu country? The majority of Indians are Hindus. India is special because of its ancient Hindu tradition. Westerners are drawn to India because of Hinduism. Why then is there this resistance by many Indians to acknowledge the Hindu roots of their country?

History should be persevered, but what is now happenings is the destruction of our culture THE JALLIKATTU like of shattering of glass. It is not only the culture of tamilian but only the right of mother India, if you accept us as indians of course....
