Though, I know that this thread has gone a bit off track, I can not resist but concurring with Sarabjit and Ashok  here.

If I compared religion with politics, Hinduism would equate with democracy. And if I may use my crystal ball (:-)), I feel, Hinduism is heading to achieve, in 21st century what democracy achieved in 20th one..

 

Coming back to starting point of this thread, I think group is on gray ground here. I know that in some forms that we fill in context of senior adminsitrave jobs (not sure if that is true for political positions), religion and cast is required(as opposed to being  optional)  information. In that sense the group is correct in asking for the information. But in a true democracy (where India need evolve to), religion  and cast can not be "required information" and in that context, the group is not on strong footing..

I have read the various critical comments on Mr. Sarbjit by a number of
esteemed members of this platform. Notwithstanding the same, I would
certainly acknowledge Mr. Sarbjit's quality of arguments. In my view, Mr.
Sarabjeet has put forth the clinching and substantial arguments here.

Dear Guptaji

When you say that there are many paths to reach the goal, it proves
that
you are a Hindu. I am not saying this but the Supreme Cout uses this
as a test for who is a Hindu and who is not. This is 1 test of 3 tests
in the "Tilak test of Hinduism" formulated by Bal Gangadhar Tilak.

Hinduism is an inclusive religion, others like Islam, Christianity,
Parsi etc
are not - you must be their adherent to the exclusion of all other
religions. ie. a Christan cannot be a Muslim or vice-versa or a Parsi.

Another test laid down by the Supreme Court is if the convert been
accepted into the community. So if say Sonia Gandhi claims to be a
Hindu, has the Hindu community accepted her as such ? Today if
you go into any village with Hindus, you will be asked for your jaat
and paat and gotra. It is normal in Indian tradition. Many people base
their decisions on such factors. What is the gotra of Sonia Gandhi ?
I say she has none ! As Subsrmanian Swamy has written, even her
name is not Sonia.
