i have been a secularist all my life. i have never ever thought about religion outside my home, and have never voted for a party with religion in mind. i never see religion in a person and i keep my religion within me. i'm a devout brahmin, but to me not hurting another human being and being honest with moral values matters most than anything else. in fact that is what is said in vedanta and understanding vedanta led me to believe that all human beings are equal and religion is a path for renunciation. but, the actions of congress is frustrating me and im feeling the want to defent my religion. congress, the dravida parties and other pseudo secular intellectuals, in the name of secularism are going to large lengths to appease minorities and bring back caste system (in the form of reservation) in to the sociey. this is not good and they dont realise the harm they are causing to the society. this is a time when people should be encouraged to be more tolerant and the greatness of hinduism and india lies in its tolerance and at the moment they are testing the extent of tolerance.

Take Shree Ram name. No point in claiming to be a sickularist. SICKularism means defending a old european view of universe and attacking the hindus.
