What's new

One example - why I believed strongly in a secular India.

. .
Secularism is equal respect for all religions.

Incorrect. Secularism means government being indifferent to any and all religions.

UCC is secularism

UCC could be secular or communal depending on how it is written.

One of the main themes that I had heard during debates was why should Muslims be allowed to have multiple wives.

I say just unban polygamy (allow both polyandry and polygyny) for all.

Just make UCC broad enough to address the concerns of all.


Pseudo secularism is minority appeasement

Can you give some examples of minority appeasement?

Again It has nothing to do with secularism rather to do with politics and policies.

Not reporting crimes committed by Muslims
Using Hindu imagery when reporting a crime done by Muslims

This has nothing to do with secularism. This is about existence of bias in the press. But this bias is not limited to once channel or newspaper or party or religion.

Having no problem with Azan but crying hoarse over crackers

Implementing liberal policies will address these types of issues.

You do not need load speakers either for Azan or Ganesh Chathurti

You do not need to blast a bomb at 2:00 AM in the morning, you can celebrate by lighting a diya.

Liberalism can best be summed up by one tweet


No this is not liberalism at all.

This is being unpatriotic and committing treason.

Being liberal means being open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional thinking.

Hinduism has always been the most liberal religion. You are trying to redefine it to make it rigid and conservative.

What you are saying is separation of church and state in European context. It is different in the Indian context.

BTW was India secular from 1950-1975? I hope you know that the word secular was inserted by Indira Gandhi during emergency when the opposition was in jail.
I say just unban polygamy (allow both polyandry and polygyny) for all.

Next you will say let's unban rape and murder

UCC could be secular or communal depending on how it is written.

Same laws for all people irrespective of religion is the very definition of secularism. The very fact that none of the "secular" Parties want it shows their fake secular credentials.

Haj, payment of salaries to imams, minority institutions not being under RTE, The non application of UCC, among others
Again It has nothing to do with secularism rather to do with politics and policies.
Exactly, that is why I called it Pseudo Secularism meaning false secularism.
Hinduism has always been the most liberal religion. You are trying to redefine it to make it rigid and conservative.

India is secular because of Hinduism. Why don't other minorities like sikhs, jains, Buddhist or even micro minority like Parsees have any problems. In fact Parsees are the most developed community even if they are barely a few lakhs.

When you draw false equivalence, you become part of the problem that expands the ideology you're trying to oppose. Try something new once a while, RSS - Nazi - ISIS snake oil won't sell.
Just an FYI- I am not trying-I am judging the mood of the people and forming my opinion-I can have one no- I agree RSS is not comparable to ISIS (Which is nothing but the devil)- RSS reeks of bigotory and hatred towards other beliefs-Like they say RSS is in the 1st stage of cancer, if not treated will be too late (Stage 5 is not very far off if untreated).

Our beloved Chhatrapati is currently infected with this cancer.

The safety, honour and welfare of your country come first, always and every time.

The honour, welfare and comfort of the men you command come next.

Your own ease, comfort and safety come last, always and every time.
Like this!- Good points.

Licking the same vomit left-right-left, you couldn't convince nearly half of Indians with this. I'm simply bored by these insinuations. Give us something that has material than diatribes.

BJP/RSS has only now taken up power 1.5 terms- So what happened to nearly/more than half of Indian before that (65 Plus years-Non RSS aligned governence).

Lets wait for the next cycle of elections- More than half of Indians will vote this bigot-GOI out. You will get your chance to relick left-right- left for another 60 plus years.

Are you saying that RSS is not equal to Nazism?
