Laws can be unfair and they are not absolute. Would it be fair if government make laws which limit your personal freedom of eating certain food or drinking wine because it is prohibited for follower of certain religion? Secular countries based on secular principles which give liberty to people to eat whatever they feel eating without imposing their own food habits on others. Secular state should have no role in deciding about what people should or should not eat. If India was Hindu rebublic then that would be different matterI believe in the rule of law.
I also believe that a nation as big and diverse like India does not stay together by fingering one another.
But by understanding what is offensive to the other and not giving offense.
That's the voluntary bit, by choice.
Where I believe there is no free choice in is in the following of the law of the land.
Secularism mean state should not make any laws based on scripture of one particularI don seem to understand. So secularism is linked to eating beef alone? What stupidity is this?
If some muslim village gives up beef, then they are not secular?
Mind u, some people, secularism is not linked to beef.
