Any child who looks at our history will understand that many religions came here and took root because of the culture of tolerance of the local people. This has continued down the ages and the local population has been at the receiving end of everything - their religious establishments got destroyed, they were looted, they were forcibly converted. Still no blood baths happened in communal riots.
But enter the British and when they found out that the best way to hold control over the people is to pitch them against each other, things took a bloody turn. We all know what happened during their rule.
Post independence, the Congress party has carried forward the colonial legacy excellently. India's culture of tolerance was wrongly coined 'secular' and enforced. And in this supposedly free land, all sops are showered on particular communities, the latest being the stupid idea of installing minoroty personnel in minority areas.
If organizations like VHP, RSS, Shiv Sena and the BJP have gained ground, it is solely because of these idiotic secular policies. Well somebody HAS to speak for and stand for the interests of the majority people - they are humans right? They need the basic necessities and have the basic rights. There are more needy people in those communities than the minorities.
The secularists NEVER want the minorities to improve - they actually want them to remain educationally and socially backward. So they can exploit them.
