In otherwords the Indian govt will go to anylength to make the Hindu's religiousless while bolstering the other faiths especially the Islam. This is a compact with the IM elite soon after Partition.
However Islam has been hijacked by the salafis/jihadis under the KSA-TSP double whammy under USA benign guidance.
Secularism that we have today is actually Nehruvian secularism. The word secualrism was not there in the original constitution, neither the constituent assembly ever approved the secularism built around anti-Hinduism that is being followed today. Remember -- the Somnath temple was renovated by Sardar Patel as home minister totally by government funds. There was no concept of secularism in early day of our independence because after the partition blood bath every one was conscious that India is the country Hindus have got.
It was Nehru's (who was a closet commie) parroting day and night just after independence that India is a secular country, that made it the official policy of the Congress party full of his psychophants.
The commies understood the significance of Nehruvian secularism for their own ideology and latched on to it with a vengeance. They later forced Indira Gandhi to add the word "secular" in the constitution by 42nd amendment in return for the suport of communist MPs in supporting her to form the govt.
In short, secularism as practised today is a subversion of our constitution and is a Nehru's -- and his alone -- gift to the nation. Quite a few Congress leaders were irritated too with Nehru's day and night parroting of secualrism in his every speech.
Indian secularism is a peice of garbage produced by Nehru without anyone's permission. The way he ran the country on his own, one would have thought it was his private property he got in his dowry.
On Children's day on 14th Nov, Doordarshan ran a full length interview of Nehru with an American or British journalist. It was recorded in 1963 just after defeat to China. This is the first time I heard Nehru speak, and I must say I was shocked beyond belief.
He came out to be a man blabbering non-stop about everything under the sun, with the interviewer patiently waiting for a pause to insert his next question. It is clear from his body language that Nehru was suffering from a terribly low self esteem and tryng to show off his Western airs for some prestige.
The quality of his answers was pathetic and juvenile and the solution he was giving for problems surrounding India was laughable. Even a child could have done better.
I was really astounded as to how this man ruled India with an iron hand for 15 years and no one stood up to him. He came out as a total idiot and mentally blind in the interveiw. And the fake British accent he was trying to put on was not funny.
