The issue is becoming more and more relevant as the days go. What was not so prominently discussed about is now made to gain a significant presence by Political parties in India who display a pseudo-secularism to a nauseating level.
The author has argued well about the issue on individual basis as welll as on governmental level. The arguments may have touched some issues like Sati in some parts of Hindu regions, which are really not so prominant in larger context of Hindu religion. But obviously such issues are thrown in only to make a point. I fully agree that people like V P Singh caused more harm to the secular social fabric of Indian society than any fanatical groups together did. Otherwise, Indian society is a wonderful example of religious tolerance and co-existence. Even to-day, barring havocs caused by political interferences, the religious harmony is promninently visible in most parts of India, particularly in its southern regions.
On the whole, I appreciate the views expressed by Mr. Sengupta as it sounds so practical.
