But India! The largest democracy in the world and these are democratic figures:
A majority hindu population(84%). The Prime minister is a Sikh(Manmohan Singh), the President is a Muslim(APJ Abul Kalam), the leader of the national advisory council is a catholic foreigner(Sonia Gandhi of Italian origin), the most popular film star is a muslim( Shahrukh Khan)! Does polytheism really make people evil!

Do you think these people are adored for their religion or their credentials?

N3WJL we've only had 60 years of modern democratic existence. We have over 26 languages and over 1500 dialects. Do you think it is easy to run a country like that? Inspite of all that India is progressing!
If you call USA multicultural it is but a speck of dust compared to India. I invite you to visit India and believe me when i tell you, you will fall in love with it! That is my personal guarantee! You won't find this anywhere else in the world!

credentials as there are many good people no matter what their gender, religious or political affiliation, ethnic background, etc. a person who has wisdom and knowledge and the ability to use these for the betterment of mankind is important to all of us not just a few.

That's all well and good but wasn't the last government led by extremist Hindu nationalists?

It is also the poorest and least developed democracy.
Are you sure you want to hold them up as a model to the world?

First of all, how is any of this evil? Because they're not in charge they're evil? Second, Hindus are NOT polytheistic.
