Wrong there. It has been shown with quite a lot of certainity
by Jai Maharaj, Ranjan Maitra etc. that there was a threat from
the proponents during the creation of s.r.v., that if the current
moderator of s,r.h did not support s.r.v, they (s.r.v proponents
) will take care of s.r.h in later times. The present re-org
attempt by the same folks should be seen in this light.

Tha fact that Vaishnavas are Hindus or not is not important.
What is important is that the s.r.v proponents did threaten
Ajay (current moderator) if he did not support the proposal
of s.r.v.

The argument once again is not about the Hinduness of Vaishavas.
Rather it is the threat which was launched by the current
proponents of s.r.h re-rog.
