  • Our reading of history certainly does not support Hindu rashtra as a religious concept that means it is only for those people who are currently called `Hindus' as a religious term. Classically, Hindu has been a civilizational, not a religious term, nor is it exclusive. `Hinduism' is different from Abrahmic religion in this regard.
    
    Surprising enough, even the article in Encarta on nationhood recognizes that:
    
    “India is a nation in which the Hindu religion served as the cohesive traditional element in uniting peoples of various races, religions and languages.”
