The HSC is the Hindu Students Council, an organization with branches
at many universities, etc.

"GHEN is sponsored by Hindu Students Council"
and then later
"GHEN also sponsors Soc.Religion.Hindu, Alt.Hindu, Hindu Digest."
So, it seems that the HSC "sponsors" soc.religion.hindu, either
directly or indirectly. You can check those statements yourself.
>(d) WHY BRING THEM INTO THIS -
Because, if they "sponsor" SRH, then their definition of "who is a
Hindu" would seem like a pertinent one.

The answer to both questions is "I don't know". You'll have to ask
someone else.

Find out your facts before repeating your oft-heard charge of
axe-grinding. Let me turn it around - perhaps your continued claims
are indicative of something?

Your statement of --
"SRH is fine and HINDUS of ALL HEWS (I count myself as one amongst he
many) would find the current position of SRH fine."
-- and ones like it are the reason I ask that you quit insinuating
that people who disagree with you are non-Hindus.
