Indian religions gives us place to show our uniqueness in the world. Our religion has been influenced by many people outside the world. This is diversity of our country.

At first, there was no religion, only Sanatan Dharma. Whatever religion you may find today, they have been derived from Sanatan Dharma itself. Hinduism is a little deviated form of it. Actually, w are not doing all we require to do to be called a Hindu!
I accept to the views of chimoy and really most of the problems arise mainly because of this pillars and these were originated to create strength and unity however now we face only separation and some egos.

Chinmoy, Once i read about an american tourist visiting india who opined that though India is a beautiful land to visit yet he didn't find any indians here.What he meant was he only found Rajasthanis,Punjabis,Bengalis,Assamese,Biharis,Tamils, Telugus,Kannads,Malayalis etc. but no indians.
Similar thing can be said about religion as well.
So I believe in following only one religion ,that is, INDIANISM

There is only one pillar and that is the Indian workers irrespective of religion. The religions are only divisive factors.
