Gandhi never used Secularism in his 100 plus volumes of work. "Secularism" was inserted into Indian constitution during dark days of emergency along with socialism.
India was partitioned based on religious lines. Congress blatantly surrendered to Muslim League.
After partition, the thrust was on religious tolerance.
Slowly it became Muslim rights.
And now, Muslim reservation as well as anti-Hindu postures.
Secularism has been distorted much from the days after partition till today.

EVerybody laughing at Gandhi-prem by Muslims. Muslims support for Gandhi is farce- why they divided India if they followed Gandhi? Huh?
What you expect, Hindus will follow disastrous policy of Muslim appeasement as done by Gandhi in future too?
People said enough is enough. And no more pampering of Muslims. Period.
