Imagine the greatness of a faith that saw divinity in a man who rejects it's teachings! Go back a few hundred years and you see christian Europe and the muslim lands barren except for one religion each, while Hindu India is and has always been a polyglot of hundreds of religions. This is not an accident.
For over 200 years of American Independence, the President and his entire cabinet has been 99% christian with a Jewish person or an atheist thrown in from time to time. In the 60 years that India has been Independent, the opposite has been true - Almost every religion has been represented in India's cabinet. India is the only country in this entire world that is being headed by a man belonging to a minority faith. Again not an accident, these things could have occured only in a Hindu Country.
