How to handle Islamists?
by Bhaskar Chattopadhyay on Feb 26, 2007 12:07 AM

Akash>> we can do well being core-secular rather than being feudal-secular(I don't prefer to call it pseudo-secular, that term is simply nonsensical).



Islamists do not recognise Secularism, Democracy, nationalism, anything man-made construct outside their holy book. So, the thinking that Islamo-Facists can be stopped using 'core-secularism' (Hindu bashing, but glossing over Islamic atrocities) is nothing but a wishful thinking.

Sarat Chandra Chatterjee, preeminet Indian Novelist wrote in mid 1920s (seeing futility of Congress's support of Khilafat and its eventual perils):

"Hindu Muslim problem can be solved in a day, when Hindus become UNITED."

However, a section of our leaders are still pursing appeasement (which is emboldeing Islamists) and dividng Hindus along caste and language.

The more India, its core values, vital interests come under threat - we will see huge rise of BJP. Its anything but natural.

India is the ONLY country in the world which was created based on division. And its the only country which talks about 'secularism" (which would have been better over Psuedo-Secularism which is followed today).
