Your concerns are unfounded..... I mean why do you want us to remain "Secular" at least when it comes to issues of great national interest?
By towing the Muslim vote bank's line (whether right or wrong) no body is becoming communal. Guess why? Coz the definition of Communal in this country is "Are you giving even an inch to a Hindu?"... If you are giving a mile to the "secular" religions, it's okay.. :-)
Don't you see all jokers coming together AFTER the elections (which they have fought each other like dogs in) with one single objective of keeping BJP away from power? Why? Coz that's their definition of keeping secularity running.. The current jig and dance between Congress, xyz, abc, and Left is nothing but a manifestation of that mentality...
So once again, when in India, revise your definitions of secularism, and you shall be all right
