  1. India and Hinduism have existed for more than 5000 years. They were spread from Afghanistan to Indonesia but reduced to a small area now. Few thousand invaders came on horses. India was divided in 1947 to accede to the demand of Muslims of homeland (on the principle - they cannot exist with other religions and need 'land of the pure' - no other religion) and two countries were born – Pakistan and Bangladesh (in 1971 from E. Pakistan). In 1947, Hindus thought they will have peace after giving 30% of the land to muslims who were only 16% at that time. One side clearly had a better deal in partition. The matter should have been SETTLED FOREVER. 3 million people died in 1947 in which majority of them were Hindus & Sikhs. As per the terms of the partition, transfer of population should have been completed but many Muslims stayed back. Now they want it all by 2047 as their population has grown from 3%-->14% and that is the reason of friction. Hindu temples have been demolished in Pakistan and Bangladesh and the population of Hindus has declined significantly in muslim majority neighbors (Between 1947 to now Pakistan 14.7%-->1.6% and Bangladesh 30%-->8%).

  2.  @sulatamojumder8795  Spot on. Understand the history but Hindus need to move fast to fix the situation before it is late. Support those who do Gharwapsi (do a massive push) and use your wallet (where you spend, where you don't) to reverse the growth. Learn how they do it Pakistan and Bangladesh.

  3.  @monica3818  Not the same people. You can blame BAPS management for NJ debacle and those who incited them. For Ram Mandir, it was headed by a former Secretary, Government of India, Nripendra Mishra. There were no news headlines of any wage theft. Unfortunately, wage theft (regardless of religion) comes from your country as a bad habit. Lot of greed because your countrymen have forgotten the principles of Bhagavad Gita. Just visit any Indian Restaurant and ask the waiter if he or she gets the tips or the owner keeps it. You will be surprised. The best practice is to pay the bill by CC and tip the waiter with cash.
