To Husky, Rajesh, Bodhi and the rest,
Seems as if with the exception of Husky, no one has the patience to turn the pages and understand a thing or two. So I'll make it simple.
Your comments (and the comments of most Hindus in denial): Sikhs/jains/buddhists are friendly to hindus, they care about hindus. I have many friends who love me and my religion. they will be sympathetic to the cause of hindutva etc. etc.
My comments:
The burdern of proof rests on your shoulders, NOT on mine, as Husky has suggested. Because I don't have to prove a negative proposition. If you believe that sikhs/jains/buddhists are sympathetic to the cause of Hindutva, the onus is on you to prove it. You make the dubious claim that these sects support Hindus, so it's up to you to substantiate this claim with cold, hard facts. It's that simple.
Instead of solid proof, what I've read so far: ****I had a sikh friend in kindergarten who loved my religion, jains donated so much, I question your motives, maruti, can't you see the difference between sikhs/jains and christians....**** All these are, no doubt, sentimental, but devoid of logic, so there is no reason why anyone would accept these opinions.
And people like Rajesh consider this line of reasoning as logical. If this is logic, even mullahs are logical.
