No info on word Hindu: MoH

Indore: In reply to an RTI query by Chandrashekhar Gaur, a resident of Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh, the Union Home Ministry said it "does not have any information" regarding the definition of 'Hindu'. "To my query, the Home Ministry in its reply on July 31 said the Central Public Information Officer (CPIO) doesn't have information regarding it," said Gaur.

Gaur had also sought to know on what grounds a community was considered Hindu, and why Hindus were considered to be a majority community. The government's reply was baffling, he said. "If the government doesn't know the meaning and definition of the word Hindu, on what basis did it enact the Hindu Marriage Act?" he questioned.
