Being Hindu for a Christian can be a layer, a cultural affirmation of rootedness. Its has to be a choice.
Christians do not have to accept it though, neither should The Dy.Chief Minister have said that "we are all Hindus." Something is coming down the pike. Personally, I see myself as a Hindu Christian, but have never expected any one to see themselves that way. I also know what I am doing and that to me, and for myself is what matters. There is more but lets stop here. Best.
