Nice List Bikas Tiwari. Below, I have few comments and my thoughts in this matter. Dearl All Participants, To be a true hindu, wearing JANAI, Become a priest (by profession), reading sanskrit only, and others are not the core requirements. With out those one can become a Hindu by his/her Karma ( the right actions). Doing the "right thing" holds the Hindu Philoshopy or vice versa. Now, what are those "right things- the KARMAS" needed to be explained. The one who wants to explore about KARMAs of life and henceforth to become a true hindu need to find the MASTERs - GURUs- the real yogis who are egoless, can explain if fully if the seeker is willing to learn about that secret of Hinduism. Ask with your SELF "What do I need to find?" "a true Hindu?" You may be in a battle of thoughts with in yourslef and would say, " no...that is my ego -discrimination of religion. "I am confined myself among the net of religions and races" Oh LORD! where can i find the answer, What are these religions, castes, races, ethincity? or if I am a True Hindu or not? Lord help me." In this course of time, you might end up asking "Who am I? " insead of " what is the TRUE HINDU ..or others". There holds the secret of our Human life. "Find out who am I?" continuing with the True Hindu...and about exploring the information, you may ask yourself : Question: where can one find those MASTERs? Answer: Read Read Read. Read the books in Hinduism...your will find those masters (the information) who will lead you to the right path to find the solution of the problem. people, it was my few cents EXPERIENCE. I AM A HINDU BY BIRTH. NEVERTHELESS, I AM IN THE PROCESS OF PRACTICING HINDUISM THROUGH MY ACTIONS, the right ones. Identifying myself as being a HINDU is my EGO which has to be destroyed and merge myself to GOD (the supreme consiousness) has to be my real goal for being a "HINDU". That is what I have learned from Hindusim.
