I have never faced discrimination / religious slur even from hardcore members of RSS and Shiv sena ever even tho i am from a miniority religious community and i do not subscribe to much of their ideology and have said so bluntly. I am therfore a firm believer that Hinduism is essentially very open and Hindus not just tolerant but actually give a shit abt your religious beliefs. Some communities like the Jains are only concerned abt wether i am a veggie or not and make half hearted attempts to convince me abt it's benefits. To put things in balance tho I am anything but relgious and every one of them knew that.
The phrase "Your mileage may vary" comes to mind :)
