MY INDIA!!!!

INDIA -- A Secular State?

In this section I will address issues which may be contentious and our dormant sub-conscious asks us daily but we tend to ignore them(I do not intend to hurt public sentiments in any ways)

Is INDIA really secular??ask urself!

What is meaning of secular--"not subject to or bound by religious rule" as OED says.Now read between the words.Not subject or bound????.Where does MY INDIA stand on such a rostrum?Where is MY INDIA heading this forth from this precarious situation??

I see blasts once a week..in different and surprisingly ...even in dormant STATES

Lets go in retrospect,at times when there was one INDIA and no modern day dirty politics was there.How did our ancestors live together in such cultural diversity??A politician or a fundamentalist would argue "Divisions in the society has been prevalent since times immemorial "

statement is correct and straight...But let me put a story in front of you...

Once a person who was penchant towards weed ...sent a letter to a saint addressing

"Dear Sir,

Hello,I want to ask you a basic question.WHY DID GOD CREATE WEED & BOOZE If HE WANTED ALL HIS PEOPLE TO BE SACRED AND FREE OF BAD HABITS?"

pretty simple and straight question and both you and me would pander to it and endorse it whole-heartdly because we want to drink and do smack...a proclivity because of Media hype and natural inclination to try new things I suppose...

THE ANSWER FROM SAINT " YOU FOOL, GOD HAS CREATED FLOWERS AND BEES,GRAIN AND MILLIONS OF FRUITS,VEGETABLES,SWEETS...EVER THOUGHT OF THAT..YOUR MIND HAS BEEN TAINTED BY YOUR FILTHY DESIRES..THATS WHY YOU CAN'T SEE THE EVIDENT GOOD AND FOCUS ON EVIL FORCES "

Truly fits in the current situation...like LOCK & KEY....

I vaguely remember words from THE DA VINCI CODE MOVIE "The mind sees what it wants to see".Herein lies the problem and the solution.

Now this Mr. Politician or Fundamentalist has one problem..he doesn't have job..but he's good at influencing people..So what he does is he makes a list....

A) WHICH COMMUNITY IS MINOR AND WHICH IS MAJOR??

B) How many people are in the total number whose MIND CAN SEE WHAT I WANT THEM TO....for my own benefit ..of course(HOT TOPIC IN PARTY MEETINGS)

C) How many people are there who were hurt physically,emotionally or in monetary sense by earlier such incidents which I am going to provoke?

The list is ready...and now these people implement action plans with full vigor by either waiting for such contentious issues to heat up or smarter one like ADVANI would create such situations by delivering provocative statements trenchantly packed to spark public sentiments of either communities(whicheve direction is beneficial).Active people know the facts and figures,the motive behind two-sided statements but the passive ones pander to it & are drawn by pluralistic forces to conspire in such acts against humanity.

Politics always had & will continue to have an active role to play in such incidents(be it in Punjab or in case of Ram mandir/Babri masjid,Godhra/Gujarat) as their sole aim is to get POWER & a GOOD JOB which is difficult to get through hard-work.Thus they gerrymander human thoughts & mind for their own benefit, leave the society and the common man in sorry state unless it helps them in anyways.Otherwise NO COMMENTS,Party is seriously considering what to do etc...etc...

At the end of it all,we'll have to ponder over seriously(as we have to carry forward this mindset to our future generations) that what is more important...Religion or Humanity..One must not challenge religion as it gives you great strength but it too preaches HUMANITY as the one & only solution..I think the latter should get more preference as to dilute contamination from a solution you need to mix the desired solution (secular society) with a suitable buffer(of humanity) to dilute the contamination(fundamentalist,neocon & pluralistic forces) so that it becomes negligible.(I would be stupid to say that old wounds should not hurt or they do not...but learning from accidents only can make you safe in future...am I wrong???)Only then a SECULAR state will emerge which will need proper care and thoughtful direction from time-to-time or else "all things are heading towards entropy"
