इन भक्तगणों में भारतीय मूल का एक भी नहीं है. सभी अफ़्रीक़ी हैं

Just Lalu / Mulayam Etc are responsible? I partially agree with you. The decline of Hinduism started with very conscious efforts by Nehru. It was Bal Gangadhar Tilak who stirred the Hindu conscious and Gandhiji helped to solidify the same. However, Nehru was a secret anti Hindu guy and anti nationalist. He was blinded by ideology of Lenin. He banned dissemination of Hindu teaching and led country to the path of ruin by adopting socialism and supporting all anti Hindu elements in India.

I was , like many other Hindu, not aware of glory and greatness of Hindu religion. However, Internet changed everything. I could read Vivekanand and lectures on Gita. It is sad that most so called “intellectuals” and learned in India can not answer a simple question “What is essence of Hinduism?”

We are as much responsible as Lalu and Mulayam. I hope you would post inspiring and educative articles on Hinduism
