santro, u've been to India??? and then u talk this way! which states did u visit??? plz tell me if u found hindu fundamentalists or whatever raping muslim women, killing innocents,and desecrating Mosques and the Holy Quran.. ok, leave that. just tell me if u heard about such incidents when u visited, probably muslims, in India... and plz don't get Godhra in picture, that was one odd incident 10 years ago. talk about the ten years since then...
Ive been to UP mostly, lucknow, Agra.. and a small stopover in Dehli..
It was open, there was little communal problem.. except that you found no beef...Muslims bought from Muslims, and Hindus dealth with Hindus.. the newer generation seemed to be mixing it up.. but not that much.
There were still cases of me having to identify myself as a muslim at a chai stop near rae bareli so I could be given tea in the disposable cup...instead of the glass one(thank god I did not mention I was Pakistani)..
Saw some saffron wrapped jogi or whatever preaching dharmatma(or something to do with your asambhav..cant recall) in front of a mosque and I distinctly heard him get very upset at the mosque's fairly small speaker calling the Azaan.
I have relatives there, compared to them.. the side of the family that is in Pakistan is literally bathing in gold.
These people are very patriotic, they love India.. but do mumble it out about the time they needed to run away from a Hindu superiority gang that happened some time ago
As mentioned by Developero.. its not the secularism of most Indians in doubt..
its political motivations that keep that peace in a delicate balance.
Rapes, murders dont translate into the non-existence of secularism..
What does is when the state is being run by folks who believe in the superiority of a single religion over all others, and that religion's right to being the sole inheritor of the land.

I don't want to categorize our people on d name religion, but still i m giving my view
a random way:
1)indian cricket team: india always has/had around 4-6 non-hindus in its cricket Team.
2)Indian P.M is sikh
3)Dr A P J Abdul Kalam (indian president 2002 –2007)
4)...........
.......... etc.
tell something about Pakistan???
How about trying to prove your point without bringing in Pakistan.. or is that too monstrous a task?
