   Like many have noted, the stress of religion and language
   have done much harm to India {Why don't we think of ourselves
   as Indians, instead of Muslims or Tamilians?}.  I believe
   the present language states and the special status to Jammu-
   Kashmir are the reasons for the non-Indianness feeling that
   most Indians have.  I would like to hear what other people
   on the 'net' have to say about the causes of non-Indianness
   and remedies for it.
