You want to be a regional power? This is the region. Show leadership.
Nope. Myanmar does not lie in South Asia. Sorry. And we can show leadership only if its in our interest. Right now we need the Myanmarese regime more than we need the Rohingyas for our transit to SE Asia and our own NE and co-operation for flushing out the militants holed in the Myanmarese forests. Tough luck. But that is geo-politics.
BTW if we show leadership it will be labelled hegemony and bullying by the same people who ask now to show our leadership. Damned if we do, damned if we dont. but ok, its all in a day's work for big nations surrounded by smaller ones.
Uh, wrong again. Look at your post #6 to see the reference to Muslims.
What is wrong in post 6. I repeat. Myanmar issue is not our concern, nor are the Rohingyas our people. It is Bangladesh that must do something as the Rohingyas are people who went from regions of present day BD to Arakan.
A country's institutions reflect the collective mindset of the people in a democracy. If India is secular, it is because a majority of Indians believe in secularism. If a large enough majority wants it to become a Hindu nation, it will become one, including Constitutional amendments.
Nope you are again getting it wrong. Tolerance which is what individual people can show is different from secularism. Tolerance is co-existance with other religions while secularism is not allowing religion to play a part in your decisions, life. So I repeat while religious people can be tolerant, they cannot be secular. That goes against the very definition of secularism. But I'm not surprised that you dont know what either secularism or tolerance means.
And one more thing basic things in the preamble like secularism cant be changed even through constitutional amendments. One more thing you are wrong about.
