Due to great leaders like Nehru Patel Gandhi and Rajaji India has followed the right path of secularism and democracy. India should be careful so that this tradition does not deteriorate with over zealous reservations and unneccesary appeasing of minorities just for the sake of getting vote to stay in power with out actually helping these groups to progress. True secularism is the only way for progress.Indians have inherited a great political system from their founding leaders. They have to make sure and work very hard at striving for a flawless justice system. Democracy and capitalism will be successful only if the laws work and are fair tio every one.A nation based on theocracy will not work and it will end in fascism.

rightly said, we the indians must not be the ones ,deriving excitements out of what is happening in pakistan...doing so will be the most dangerous invitation for us... what is happening in india in the name of upliftment of the back wards, like caste based reservation, is nothing but the parallels of sectarian appeasement in pakisatn, holding the indian parliament hostage for allowing the dictator called arjun singh to ensure one more ministerial term, and yes more conveniently propagating one self as the messiah of the backwards and ensuring winning in the next election for the party... u mustnot construe this as, we are against affirmative action for the backwards,...but for uplifting them ,we must properly identify the backwards,caste cannot be taken as the sole basis of such identification,(reservation)... youth for equality (YFE) is one students' organisation ,which was quite successful in bringing out this hypocrisy to the fore... and always aspires to welcome all like minded people to come forward to take all necessary steps to save india from getting doomed, thereby betraying oneself as well as the great efforts of the great sacrificers like gandhiji, nehru, ambedkar etc...please visit the website of YFE...

Real life is different. Gandhiji wanted to liquidate Congress after independence. But rest of the cogress ignored Gandhiji's suggestions and continued running and we all know what Congress has done to this country during last 60 years. Its playing dirty game of using religion and caste to get votes. Reservations is part of this dirty game. Congress need to stop appeasing muslims and casteism, otherwise there is always parties like BJP who want to do the same for Hindus, and why shouldn't they. BJP will continue to fight for Hindus as long as Congress continues to appease Muslims. Religion and Castes should not be part of the Political practice. Only Democracy, capitalism, progress and development should be country's focus and NOT THE RELIGION. Congress is doing more damage to the country by continuing to appease muslims. Hindus must get rid of caste system. Caste or Religion based Reservations should also be removed from all phase of lives. As for the Pakistan its NEVER going to be a stable country ever. India better remain vigillant and alert against such rogue countries and Pakistan in particular. Pakistan is a deadly virus.

It remains a truth that people are supporting BJP becos congress did too much minority appeasement. Minority appeasement in name of secularism is harming the depth of this term that defined Indian society and let it flourish whereas religion based countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq could not.
