No. Buddhism is not Hinduism. Buddhists are not Hindus. Perhaps what you say is true. But Hinduism came from India and most of the world’s Hindus live in India

No. Buddhism is not Hinduism. Buddhists are not Hindus. Perhaps what you say is true. But Hinduism came from India and most of the world’s Hindus live in India. One would expect India will declare Hinduism as their official religion as they should. When a nation’s religious majority is unable to defend its rights, then it’s an invasion. It can be by the sword or by conversion. It’s still a displacement and replacement strategy. Indian Hindus are waking up to it. About time. There is no country in the world where Hinduism is the official religion. Even India where 79% of the population are Hindus. Nepal used to be the only Hindu nation in the world but that changed recently during the Maoist insurgency. Who knows. We will have to wait and see.

"One would expect India will declare Hinduism as their official religion as they should." Well, apparently Buddhists, Muslims, Christians, Pagans and Atheists would strongly disagree. Secularism was invented for a reason.

  It’s not working in India. It’s not working there. We’ll see what happens. Why shouldn’t one billion Hindus have a Hindu nation? There is no country in the world that has Hinduism as official religion. Religious conversions and by extension, secularism is a form of colonization.

    It is working in europe. Yes, there are people who want many european states to become officially christian again. But they are a minority and hopefully stay that. I am fine with small states choosing a official religion. People can then more easily choose to also get away. But not a big continent, or a country as big as whole india. Because that creates tension as many do not want their life dominated by a religion they do not believe in.

        You said that India does not have an official state religion, then to support your own point you listed European countries with majority religions implying they are officially state religions then you backtracked. I don't know whether others are able to see your real intentions through your posts, and maybe Westerners are too politically correct to call a spade a spade, but I know a Hindu extremist when I see one. Tell me you're a staunch supporter of BJP without telling me you're a staunch supporter of BJP.

        Let me explain: there is State religion, Dominant religion, Secularism. 1. Western Europe has a dominant religion but not officially secular. 2. Only 5 nations(please correct me with source material) that are secular by constitution. 3. The secular nations are : India United States, France, Japan and Australia. 4. Exceptions: Russia for example has no religion. Vietnam is officially atheist. But the dominant religion is Buddhism. 5. Nepal was the only Hindu nation until recently before the Maoist insurgency and Hindu as official state religion was struck off. 6. India is officially a Secular State. The dominant and majority religion is Hinduism, but principles of secularism is not practiced as Muslims and minorities enjoy more religious privileges than the majority Hindus. 7. This makes India secular in name only. It penalizes the majority of the religious citizens by denying them equal rights and privileges under law. 8. My opinion is that Hindus should have a Hindu nation where they are a majority at one billion especially because there is no other Hindu nation in the world and India is civilisationally Hindu and all Hindu shrines and holy places and sacred texts have ancient India or Bharat as its origin site. All of this information with supporting evidence and official state dictates is available in the public domain and official state records. I am going to ignore your second paragraph. It was an attack, unnecessary and personal.
