Who needs secularism?
by sandy on Aug 27, 2005 04:52 PM

Appropos the excellent article written by Mr. Sengupta.

It is really sad commentary on the times we live in. The political parties are hell bent on messing up our history and our future by going about reservation in such a filthy manner as to criticise SC without even going through the SC Order.

Nobody reminds these so called champions of seculiarism that originally the reservation was intended to be for 10 years only. And by the way, have we improved by 57 years of reservations? Instead of going for reservations, why not make the education free to all or make reservation on the basis of economic criteria?

I read the coment that you can construct a temple in the middle of the road without having to secure any permission which is not so in the case of Churches/Mosques etc. I do not know why people create this type of impression without knowing the facts & the consequences? Why divide the people on religion & caste? There are nth number of temples as well as mosques standing illegally. The matter is why allow the construction? Why not punish the guilty government officers?

I think, the bane of all the problems of this country are the politicians who should be banished.
