My suggestion for "who is a hindu":
a. A person who calls himself a hindu
--which, to my knowledge, is fully equivalent to (b) below.
b. A person (X) who does not call for the conversion of other people based on his (X's) belief system [I put in the X to make the meaning clearer]. A hindu may ask for people to be reconverted to hinduism. "Reconverted" meaning that there exists strong evidence to say that the present religion the "other people" (above) was hinduism.
I added the reconversion clause to include the VHP etc.
Please feel free to add/subtract/correct/praise/issue monetary rewards <!--emo&
