Srinivas the problem is that desis while trying to appease the west are trying to deprive the religious people of their constitutional right to adopt politics.
Me and you forget that in majority of the countries these organizations are POLITICAL in nature too or one way or the other way linked to political set-up.
The basic idea is that state and religion should not be combined. There are various examples from the history in the middle ages through out the world.
One reason is Religion brings a mythical being called GOD and try to show him as the 'cause and effect" for the bad things happen to the society. But rational and progressive constitution makes people think in a right way to address the issue.
Religion creates a parallel power structure which often contradicts with state affairs.
So the idea of separating state and religion is a good one, faith is between GOD and human. However people are free to practice their beliefs. Majority people follow Hinduism so it is natural for Hinduism to grow along with rise of India, so the idea that religion is being oppressed is not correct.
There is a sudden rise in Bhakti movement and people are building biggest temples and are also donating to religious cause.
The biggest religious organization RSS sees people of India as culturally Hindu and they encourage Muslim youth as well.
Hindu organizations while spreading their faith have to do it within the constitutional guidelines.
