Ps . Another thing I forgot to mention in my previous post . The "Abdul Kalam " factor . Whether he knew it or not ,I am not sure , but he played a big role in unifying the dominant religions in India . The whole nation mourned his passing away ,regardless of religious affiliation, because of his passion as an Indian ,his idea of a great India and a great future for it . He was the people's president .
An average Muslim was proud that an nndian Muslim could rise from a family of fishermen to the highest levels of achievement, And an average Hindi or a christian would adore him and be possessive about him as he was one of the most patriotic Indians to live over thr last 30 years and he gave them direction for success. Even the most hard-core rss hindu national will be up in arms if a foreigner or even a fellow Indian hindu criticises him .
