Dear Kumar,

Before making bold claims about the "Splendid Hindu Civilisation" make sure you polish your history and etymology lest you feed ammunition to the very barrel you wanna destroy.

"Hindustan" is an arabic word. Their is no such thing as "Hindustan" in Hindu Culture. Stop using this word today. Use Bharat, which is more appropriate.
