Check your logic and stick to one definition of secularism. Pujas in government functions are non-secular practice under any European country's definition. Which proves my point that you cannot ask for European secularism when it comes to Muslims' or Christians' choices and relax the secularism...

No I mean Star Trek is old now. You are old in geek years. :P

I understand what you are saying. But if you see the saffron literature, their main grievance or their propaganda is that India is meant to be a secular country and that so and so pseudo-seculars gave Muslims Hajj subsidizes unconstitutionally to appease them. My point is that the...

You are old :P

FYI that is exactly what some Muslim groups say, they don't want government to give subsidy. They would rather have the poor muslims depend on religious groups' or worse Saudi groups' aid. By the way SC already directed government to stop the program gradually, which it did on the basis that...

There is no such thing as a true secularism. If you want the French secularism(during the revolution) which probably is the closest to be called 'true' secularism, you would hate it. You cannot roam on the street with sindhoor in such a secular country. Indian definition of secularism is good...

Read the article yourself. Why SC said so. The petitioner was arguing on the lines that Hindu communists should not be allowed into temples. :D SC was protecting Hinduism from extremist Hindus.

Alive and kicking Madoox :) Was on a sabbatical.

Liberalism is neither left nor right. Textbook lefties are known for not tolerating religion, promoting dictatorship(hail the proletariat) and brutally persecuting erstwhile aristocrats. That was not being liberal. It just happened that today the right is the one which has fascist elements...

Lol That sounds familiar. I have heard mullahs say Islam is a way of life and some bishops say the same about Christianity. Revel in your superiority complex. But I am sorry that's an old ruse to sell religion to masses. Because religious extremism now sounds taboo, they sell it as a 'way of...

That is interesting. Because in India, Sindhis are one of the more active groups when it comes to enterprise and charity. They have no real homeland(there are Sindhis in India but no Sindh), but they made every place they lived theirs, in a good way by participation.

You call them mistakes? Passing ordinance to protect a man like Lalu days before his expected conviction?! This is a scheming sell-out not an innocent mistake. If PM was not responsible for this, then who is? They sat on women's bill for so long, but rushed through Telangana bill at war footing...

I had respect for him as PM despite the puppetry business until he said the words paraphrased: "I lost the file. Why am I responsible?". He may be a hard worker clearing 300 files a month. But he is a moun muni at the time corruption is rearing its ugliest heads with record sizes of scams. He...

Ambedkar hated Hinduism and denounced. There is enough evidence of that. Please don't BS openly. Pfft... Secularism is a secular concept. It became a standard policy in Christian majority countries only after fierce resistance. It has to do with governance and law and nothing with any way of...

Please don't throw sentimental BS at me. If UNHCR calls India's as a model refugee policy, they also take the position that all refugees should be able to go back to their homes. I think that is the right position. What people like you say is to give citizenship rightaway to Hindu refugees as a...

I already said so. Why should we lick the boots of bootlickers. There is no question of degree here. 100% wipe out is needed. For the silver spoon up his @$s, he would have managed well like Rajeev, if he is even mediocre or slightly bad. But the interview he gave, mann, it must have lost...

Man, Ambedkar was so against Hinduism, you won't call him a Hindu. If constituent assembly was illegitimate, then what is legitimate? RSS or VHP? It is not a foreign but a universal concept. Rejecting the concept is your freedom. This is not the age of revenge. Those days are over. If not...

BJP's merit based system(at least in Karnataka) is winnability, which translated means the power to buy votes. I will never defend bootlickers. But I somehow see a tendency where some people are more OK with corruption in Karnataka( may be because it does not affect them or may be because people...

I was talking about the separation of church and state which you said was equivalent of secularism. THe word secularism is new. I pointed out that this is the reason it did not get into our constitution or many others. I chose Taliban as someone who would say that secularism is not in our...

I think you have been listening to a lot of US Republicans' speeches. Secularism did not come from Christianity. It came from sensible people and philosophers. Secularism is as compatible with us as is common-sense. We have seen some other people say what you said, albeit with Hinduism...
