Why is it problematic to call India a Hindu rahstra, whereas we can call major countries as Christian or Muslim countries?
Can you tell me why it's problematic to call India a Hindu rahstra, whereas we can call major countries as Christian or Muslim countries?
The designation of India as a Hindu rahstra, or a Hindu nation, is controversial because it excludes minority religions such as Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, and Buddhism, which are all present in significant numbers in India. Additionally, India's constitution guarantees freedom of religion and secularism, making it inappropriate to label the country in a way that promotes one religion over others.
