maadhav 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 << except for the gaudya vaishnavas i have not met any other religion based in india who said he/she is not a hindu. >> no. only the HK's do it. hardly any one in india before 1965 would say he is not a hindu. << Every one calls himself a sanatana dharmi, but the meaning is, for each one, extremely different so there's not a common concept of sanatana dharma that you can use for a common ground for everyone >> cannot agree based on truth i know. i have given ground once here, and i will not repeat. we hindus know it, and are happy. it is ok what ever you want to belive.
