So funny. according to Hindutva votaries/ Some apex Court comments, Hindu is not a religion but a way of life. If Hindu is not a religion but a way of life, how can this be'state religion'. 

One can safely say that Hinduism is both a way of life and the oldest living religion on earth. It shows how encompassing it is as a community , by the very fact that people see it differently depending on their own perception. Hinduism being so is the perfect religion to take all other religious communities into its fold - after all they all belonged and came from the same ...Initially all were Hindus which is in fact agreed even by the minorities , since both Christians and Muslims follow caste system !!!

So what are you trying to achieve. Does Hinduism encompass the lower castes of its own religion? Why did Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism emerge out of Hinduism if it was so encompassing. Let us not go into all these.

"- after all they all belonged and came from the same ...Initially all were Hindus "

I strongly disagree with this as it is a seemingly opinionated statement.

Muslims believe in Allah, Hindus in many avatars of God, Christians in their God while an atheist will probably laugh at the discussion we're having. It all depends on an individual's faith. 

Vedas say that there may be different paths to God. The Truth can be preached in different ways. Though there is a power which governs all, we cannot claim that power to be the one who classified humans into religious groups. Religion is a form of faith which itself can take many forms.

Zakir Naik said that "every child is born a Muslim." Supporting that statement would be absurd and blasphemous. But then, same can be said about your statement.

You have the right to disagree but truth cannot be hidden because Hinduism was the only religion that was prevalent in India at the time Mughals invaded and later when the Portuguese and the British came, Islam had spread and then came Christianity...So in one way or the other everybody's ancestry can be traced back to Hinduism ..like it or not, although nothing much to be achieved now !

To continue, it is only the educated hindus who would rather pretend than accept the truth. In my own place many Christian and Muslim families have still retained their original hindu family names . We have Prabhu, Kanmat , Pai which belong to Konkani gowd saraswat Community and many caholics converted from these communities still have their original names. Among Muslims you have Manipady and kotekar and bhandary as Family names , and you can know the difference only when you hear the first name. They openly speak about their ancestry but because of the prevalent phobia that has been created by the politicians, it is considered blasphemy to even mention it ! What a state of affairs. .. 

Ok, so you were actually talking about Indians only. I assumed that the statement was about the whole world.

Hinduism of course was the most prevalent religion in India before Mughals and other invaders. Then came the Catholic missionaries, trying to convert as many Hindus as possible.

Of course I was speaking only about India ..In there parts of the world there was no organised religion until Christianity came into being and later Islam which has been the fastest growing religion ..

Before religion divided the world all people belonged to a religion less society.

Harrassment of weaker section is not begins currently. It is old problem. It is not fair to blame present government for it.

Why are BJP supporters alwayson guard and touchy. I have not blamed BJP.

I am not sure how far back one can trace the existence of god and religion. Apparently , even Neanderthals believed in rebirth and life after death because they buried their dead with reverence and with certain rituals ..Nature , its existence and all life forms were  a mystery which automatically led to the belief that there was a power superior to all beings .

It would be wrong to say that everyines's ancestry can be traced back to Hinduism. In Northeast Hinduism came much later. History indicates that in the beginning, people in northeastern states followed pagan religion. It is still followed by a good numbers of people. With reference to Manipur, Hinduism was propagated during 15th century by Shanti Days Gossain who came from Bengal during the reign of King Cherairongba. Muslims and Christianity were introduced around 1880s with the arrival of British.

What kind of religion is that Jabeen , i wonder if it is like tribal customs and traditions which we get to see among the thodas and other tribals living in the Western Ghats ? It is interesting  to note that it is still being practiced in the north eastern regions. At  the same time Hinduism spread to Indonesia, Bali , Burmah , Cambodia and Thailand  .. 

Sonu Nigam s Twitter post has attracted all kinds of comments but one can see how the film Industry has reacted by staying mum...While they take a stand on issues where terrorists and minority Community is concerned except Javed Akhtar the rest if the clan has preferred to look the other way , not even after Dawood's gangster went on to threaten Sonu Nigam...

Is it a rule that everyone should comment on every statement made by someone? Silence can also be seen as support instead of negative.

It is a known fact that Dawood and his ilks call the shots in Bollywood so why would they come to his support?

Very true ..it also goes to show how a smaller Community is able to dominate through muscle power and why not when you have enough fence sitter among the majority Community ..

Assam state government has banned the use of loud speakers around religious places , hospitals,schools and other public places . Hopefully many more states would join in ..

https://www.google.co.in/amp/indianexpress.com/article/india/guwahati-declares-silent-zone-around-all-religious-places-4633756/lite/

Declaring Silent zone around all the religious place is good.

Yes taking a cue out of this many religious places already like Mosques and temples stopped using Loud speakers.

Rambabu what proof you have to make a bombastic statement that religious places have stopped using loudsoeakers. Sycophancy at its best
