Secularism in India
by on Sep 15, 2007 06:02 PM

Nobody should become an idiot thinking COngress and COmmunists are secular. Let me put it straight - not justifying Hindu Card by BJP.

Congress and Communists are Pseudo secularists appeasing minorities. Even the Muslim league associated with COngress calls itself secular. :)

Congress has a history of dividing India based on caste based politics. The reservation based on caste implemented after Mandal commission, has completed the divide of Indian soceity based on Caste based segments (Though reservarions should be based on economic criteria)

Now UPA government has come out appeasing muslims by implementing Sachar committee report. Not because of the deep desire to see the community uplifted. But foreseeing elections around the corner.

Fundamental princple of any governance should a "Equal Opportunity to all", which is something our constituion guarantees also. Agree that there are some sections of the soceity who are not privileged enough to have education, get jobs healthcare. But the truth is that it is not Muslims or SC/ST who are deprived class. Hope some sense comes into all these politicans.
