Uniting Hindus is communal, but issuing fatwa or raising pro-Pak. jihadi slogans is secular! Banning 'Davinci Code'in reverence to minority sentiment is secular, but condemning MF Hussain or Deepa Mehta is communal; Baying for the blood of Danish cartoonist is secular, protests against Benny Hinn's anti-Hindu lectures is 'communal' Govt. taking up temple administration or paying Hajj subsidy for Muslims from taxpayer's money is secular, but demand for common civil code is 'communal' Curbing Togadia's movements and freedom of speech is secular, but protest against the visti of the pope who speaks of a 'rich harvest of faith' through conversions is communal. Demanding death sentence for Dara Singh is victory of secularism, but demanding death sentence for AFzal Guru is 'communal' Who is more qualified than the RSS to raise these issues concerning the nation?

Bala, "Uniting Hindus is communal, but issuing fatwa or raising pro-Pak. jihadi slogans is secular!"
When any religious group is 'unified' on the basis of hatred of people of other religion and indulge in violence.. that is of course communal. That is why true patriotic Indians stamp muslim fundementalists, RSS, or any other such group as communal.
Unless you yourselves is communalistic you must be proud of such majority Indians opposed to such fundementalists.

Bhaumik, RSS agenda is inclusive. Through Hindutva, RSS tells all minorities, "you belong here to this great land; by religion, you may be a Muslim, christian or parsi, but by culture you are a Hindu" It is not not an exclusive agenda promoted by semitic relgions that didvide the world as believers and non-believers. The cultural life of India is dead without the intrinsic Hinduness in it. Recognize it, Respect it. Rest of the things will fall in place. Take the case of Indonesia, a predominantly Muslim country. they are proud of their Hindu heritage- until recently at least! That does not make them any less muslims than their brethren elsewhere. What's your answer to the vote bank politics practised by Gandhi-Nehru Party for decades? Why only temples should be managed by the Govt. If you accept the fundamental unity of all religions and have respect for them, why do you encourage conversions? Think, Bhaumikji! If this is what secularism is all about, I do not want it; I am happy to be a communalist
