1. How many verses of Bhagavad Gita have you read? 2. What is the purpose of Vedas? 3. Hinduism -> Cultural identity of Indians including Indian-subcontinent. Sanathan Dharma -> Eternal Laws of Dharma. How many Hindus know this? 4. Lord Krishna is the supreme Personality of God-head making Sanathan Dharma Monoistic religion. How many knows that? 5. Varnas are based on ones guna and karma and not by birth. How many know that? 6. Brahmin is a person with attibuted qualities. So is Arya (noble person). How many of us know this? 7. Brahma, Devas, Indra - these are all posts and positions and not the names of individual. Just like prime minister and president. How many Hindus know this?

Mostly valid questions and points and quite relevant. Only I don't think there is anything to be ashamed of if one doesn't know any of these, even if they are Hindus, as long as they are honest within themselves and others. The problem is with people pretending knowledge when in fact not much is there.
