Panaji: India is a Hindu nation in the cultural sense and Catholics in Goa are culturally Hindu, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has said.

"India is a Hindu nation in the cultural sense. A Catholic in Goa is also Hindu culturally because his practices don't match with Catholics in Brazil except in the religious aspect, a Goan Catholic's way of thinking and practice matches a Hindu's," Mr Parrikar said in an interview to The New York Times' India blog published on Wednesday.

Mr Parrikar heads a state where the Catholic population is just under 30 per cent of its 15 lakh population. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fielded an unprecedented eight Catholic candidates out of the 24 assembly seats the party contested.


The 57-year-old chief minister said he was a "perfect Hindu" but added that it was his personal faith and that "it has nothing to do with government".

The man is absolutely correct. And I salute him for his honesty.

Like Sadhguru says we Hindus can create our own GODS. That is why we must join together, discard stupid beliefs, question everything and get rid of fake gurus and charlatans like Asaram Bapu.
