India's religions include more than just Hindu
Your recent articles on India and Pakistan have repeatedly mentioned the phrase "predominantly Hindu India." I would like to strongly condemn this. The Indian Constitution clearly states that India is a secular country. Also, India has more Muslims than many Islamic countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, for example. India also has the world's largest population of other religions such as Sikhism and observes many important days of all major religions including Id (Muslim), Christmas(Christians), Good Friday(Christians), Guru Nanak Birthday(Sikhism), Mahavir Jayanti(Jainism) as official government holidays. Lastly, it is also the birthplace of not only Hinduism, but also other religions such as Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Vishal K.Gupta
