First of all let me tell you that both of our nations have population which is of different religions. In your country, you speak the same language. In India, we speak multiple languages. We have multiple religions, we have multiple cuisines. We have everything different. North is different to the South, East is different to the West. But only one thing joins us, that is a hope that we can live together. That we can progress together, that our religions will grow together. I dont see difference in Gods. My Allah, we say is Rabbul Alamin. He is the God of all the universe, of everything, whether you accept it or not. Hindus call Ram. They say Vishwakarma. This world is Ram. So I dont see any difference. We pray towards Makkah, they go to the temple. The God is the same. They see him in different shapes, they see him in different colours. And to protect this, what God has given us we need to be secular. We need to grow in that spirit, that God created all of us. And it is our job to see that all survive in all benefits. And that is what Bangladesh has to do, and that is what India has to do. We are afraid, let me be very frank, we are afraid at times, when there are parties that go on to religious segments. Yes, we are afraid. And if something like that emerges here in Bangladesh, it will be dangerous for you. And your danger will be our danger. And if we have something like that, it will be your danger too. Therefore, we, both nations, have to work and see that secular parties grow. And that they continue to hold to this fabric so strongly together that none of the storms, that may come, can in any way damage it.
Awesome lines... that is why you can't compare any single country to India.. India is an exception to every rule that is necessary for Nation Formation
On topic ---> It was the interviewer who asked for it... Moreover a country cant function well as both Democracy and religious State. Either Be Islamic State or Secular... being secular and Islamic state or a Buddhist state doesn't make sense...
