    To those of you who took the time (and had the time!) to point out my 
    grammatical error in the construction of the above statements, thank you 
    for your concern. It was an inadvertant error, born out of haste
rather than
    ignorance. But I think you missed the point of the rest of that article.

I have read a lot of articles pertaining to Hinduism and its similarities with
other religions. I for one feel that in today's context religion and God should
be treated as a way of finding mental peace far from all the daily grind all of us face. I think that praying to God is one way of releasing all your tensions as it is only to God that you let know your innermost secrets which you might nottell even to your nearest and dearest. So in one way you could call God as a
free psychiatrist. Also when we talk of different forms of worship it is just a
matter of who is comfortable with which firm of confessing to the "FREE PSYCHIATRIST" . I would be very happy if some people could spare some time and get into some kind of a discussion on this subject. I feel that if people really started thinking in these terms we could avoid a lot of Communal problems.

	There are three words which are often confused with each other and are
used interchangeably viz State, Country and Nation. These words convey a 
definite meaning which are different from each other. The debate over national 
identity would be clearer if we try to find the meaning these words convey.
The state is an 'administrative entity', country is a 'geographical entity' 
and Nation is an 'emotional entity'. 
	Many a times we're told that we were never a nation and it were the 
britishers who gave us a nation. All this confusion arise because we tend to 
confuse nation with country or state. What we snatched from britishers was a 
state and not nation. Hindus are a nation for thousands of years. Jews were a 
nation even though they didn't have a country for two thousand years. Same way,
Hindus are a nation and have a country too. Many people say that before moghuls
also we were never one and different parts were ruled by different kings. True,
what the kings ruled were states or country because it is an administrative 
concept. Even now local govt. in India, in her different states, is 
administratively ruled by different people. A case in point is USSR. Yes, USSR 
broke up precisely because it was a state of nations unlike India which is a 
nation of states. India also broke up because the people living in those parts 
disowned their nationhood. So the question of nationhood is vital to the very 
survival of India. You don't have to live in this or that particular 
geographical part to be a part of nation. 
	Often nationalistic people in India are accused of trying to establish
a theocratic Hindu state. I don't think there is any  concept of Hindu state
(like Islamic states) but there is definitely a Hindu concept of state and a 
Hindu concept of state can not be anything which doesn't respect various ways of
worship. The upheavals in India is a confrontation between those who believe 
that we are very much a nation and those who believe we are a nation in the 
making. It is a conflict between Hindu concept of state and the amoral and 
sterile secular concept of state. It is this Hindu concept of state which Hindu 
nation is trying to adopt. And rightly so because the experience show
(e.g. Pakistan, Bangladesh and Kashmir) that India is nothing if not Hindu. The
attempt being made in India is not for the creations of nationhood, it is for 
the recognition of the nation which is very much in our blood and bones.

There is another similar incident I know of from Washington DC
area. This person (X) is a relative of a family (Y) I know very well. This
Mr. X went to India about 1.5 years ago and got married. After
coming back to US he has not sent any immigration related papers to his
wife to enable her to come here. So she is stuck there. The family (Y)
and some other friends have been socially boycotting Mr X and his family
for almost a year now. I had met Mr X only once and he had come across as
a completely arrogant personality. I am not related to either side of the
marriage but feel mad at this Mr X for torturing some poor Girl and her
family in India.  I have learnt from the family (Y) that the girl and
her family very much wanted to salvage the marriage but Mr. X has some
attitude problems.

I think it would be nice if the Indian community in US gives total 
hell to this Mr. X to bring him to his senses and to a level of a 
decent behaviour.  If enough people think that an action on part of
"Indian Community" against such arrogant and stupid behaviour is
advisable then I would not mind putting his name/address/telepjone number
on this net so that people all over the US could give him a bit of
their minds for his this kind of behaviour.
But then I also worry if it might put the girl's family in some more
problems. 

What is people's collective wisdom in such cases? Should the community
clamp down heavily on this guy for this kind of behaviour?
