When Hindus on a large scale go outside India and start demanding non-Hindus to convert to Hinduism or die, then you will have a point. Hindus and Shiites are not even friends of convenience - there really is nothing to hold them together other than some distrust of Pakistan by Iran.

With the kind of strong economic relations that the US and China have with each other, only an incredible amount of luck would enable the rise of a Hindu-Russia-Shiite bloc. Also, the recent Hindu-Christian riots in India are a consequence of the aggressive proselytization by the Christian missionaries. There is nothing anti-American about them. I confess I am too young for my opinions to be influenced by the cold war, so I know that I may be wrong in underestimating the past. As an Indian, I think you are being unnecessarily paranoid.
