Indians ~ In India are democracy and secularism mutually exclusive?
-
Democracy, by its nature is a system which empowers the majority by consolidating the majority sentiment. However, in India the secularism that is practiced causes the majority of the Indian population (Hindus) to be marginalised by the pro-Muslim, pro-Christian, pro-foreign Congress party (which seems to be more interested in babysitting minorities and foreigners than its own people) and the religion of the majority (Hinduism) is often suffocated in the interests of secularism (a foreign western concept). The heritage and the majority culture of the country (Hinduism) is often prevaricated and its legitimacy is denied. Secular sellouts of India like to boast about India's religious diversity but the truth is that India is not the only country in the world that has minorities and it is not the only country that is diverse. Even Muslim and Christian countries are just as diverse as India is and even they have the same number of minorities. United Kingdom and many European countries are examples of states that are extremely diverse and have many minorities, however many are all officially Christian countries. Even Muslim countries such as UAE, Sadi Arabia, Malaysia, Qatar are just as diverse as India is yet even they are proud of their islamic identity and do not "secularism" get in the way. There is a difference between secularism in theory and secularism in practice. How can India claim to be a secular democracy when the culture, heritage, religion and sentiments of the majority citizens of Bharat is simply marginalised in the interests of "secularism" (which itself is a foreign ideology).

Answer:
A handful of briton-educated rich scoundrels like jawaharlal nehru,ganged up under the banner of Indian Notional Congress, the faulty notion for them being they are there to change Bharath from its composition point of view. No wonder they ganged up under one mohandas gang-di, who had the habit of falling into bad hands of the elite. That nehru whose moorings are still under doubt, wrote all wrong things about Bharath, as a result of which his descendants upto an alien european sonia denied Lord Ram, the MARYAADHA PURUSHOTHAM of Bharat. Nehru contrived with disgruntled rich society of India to promote anything islamic, christian,jewish, Budhist etc., harass and destroy Bharat. So, secularism is a facade for subjugation of Bharat politically, even while, the nehru congress destroyed Nepal, the only akin country to Bhrat. The people of Bharat demand a comprehensive apology and explanation from the UPA/congress , mobbed by sonia,karunaniti,sony,singhvi etc., for their act of denying Lord Ram.

What you said is an unfortunate truth. Secularism means keeping equidistance between various religions and appeasing any one. Unfortunately in the vote bank politics of India, the word secularism is totally twisted and it now means appeasing the minorities at the cost of the majority. The tolerance level of the Hindus being so high, the governments of the day in the name of democracy, have done total injustice.

You got the defination of democracy correct, but lost its actual essence inbetween. I am a Hindu by faith, and one of the so called 'majority'. I voted for the congress party, and so did many Hindus who are in majority and it is for this reason that the congress party is in majority in the parliament. Who told you that being a Hindu you have to vote for bjp. I don't ascribe to the faniticism of the rss/vhp and the baghwa brigrade. Nor do majority of the Hindus. Its for this very reason bjp is out of power for the second year in succession.Hinduism never teaches destroying mosques or killing innocent people in the name of religion. What Narendra Modi and Advani are following or propogate is a different Hinduism altogether which the 'majority' of the Hindus have negated. As far as foreign countries are concerned, let me give you the facts. The USA is not a christian state constitutionally. Its a democratic country with religiuos freedom and does not accept christianity as a state religion. Further the European Union didn't accept christianity as a state religion despite pressure from the Pope of Vatican City. This fact finds place in the constitution of the European Union which has declared itself a secular union Also both houses of the Great Bratian have decided to rename 'chritmas holidas' as 'winter holidays' because they consider themselves to be a secular country.
