I don't think India has state sponsored religion, does it? I mean is being a Hindu a condition of holding public office? I am asking because I don't know; I just assumed it was not. I mean the Church of England is the official church of England and the head of state, the queen, is the head of the church BUT one does not have to be an Anglican to vote or hold office. Also, church law is not the same as secular law. Or am I talking apples and oranges? To me an Islamic state, is a-la Iran where the clery are in control and those that hold office have to be moslems and religious law and "government" are one and the same.
