Did India slide away from an initially “secular” state as the minority Muslim community was progressively given preferential treatment in the decades after Independence? Till 2014, that is.
Went through your very well articulated article. Can't disagree with you on any of the points. Policy of the Government before 2014 aimed at appeasement of Muslims for gathering votes and for greed of power has definitely diluted the basic foundation of Secularism. Though much has been done by the present Government but a lot is still required for accomplishment of the real Secularism and to attain the Goals towards building India as a super power Nation globally in all spheres of Development, against all kinds of challenges and concerted opposition from the tainted Parties for their own vested interests coloured with overtones of minority appeasement for power. Its too complicated a subject but I am sure the electorate of the Nation would understand the good work done so far by Modi led Government and give him more opportunities to serve this Nation and make it thoroughly Secular and to make it so strong that it can win over any kind of situation whenever so warranted!
A very well analysed and well thought out Article, Sir Ji!
