In a Democracy, all are equal but some are more equal. So India is a democracy, right.
It is election time and controversies have already begun. Varun Gandhi’s ” Hate speech” is the latest. Just at a time when BJP was polishing its tainted image and trying to channalise all its efforts towards projecting a secular image, Varun’s alleged hate speech happened.
India is Secular, Democratic-The constitution says. Over they years the image created for BJP is that it is a “Hindutva” party and Congress is the secular party( Ha ha).
I have a question that i would love to ask the congress( yeah I know..) but obviously this is the only space i get to voice my thoughts. Let us say 10 people read this!!
If Congress is secular why did they not agitate when Honourable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu( their ally infact) hurt the sentiments of thousands of the Hindus when he called Lord Rama a drunkard. Why is that Varun Gandhi’s voice against the minorites(I don’t endorse it) more wrong than Mr. Chief Minister’s voice against God. Congress is a paradox, they contradict their own principles.
I think it is time we stop being pseudo secularists. If we mean to be secularists we must be that in every sense of the word. Out of the 120 crore voters , 20 crore Muslims cannot be sidelined. India is a country of diverse culture and religions and so what we need to show the outside world is Unity in diversity. Unity which means all are equal. Unity which means that everything will be done for the upliftment of the minorites but not at the cost of degrading the majority.
