Good debate.
One of you said hinduism is in danger. Lets rephrase the statement to sooth secular fabric of the country and says indian culture and its societal inheritance which lies in equality, repect and peace is in danger from fundamentalist.
Then we have an argument -- Slogan "Islam is in danger" has only created panic and chaos and we can see to what an extent people are going to "
save" Islam. Its not about the fact of being endangered but how you react to that danger. Will hinduism follow the same way as Islamist? Is hinduism support such thing or is it so fragile and unclear that people can use it to its own purpose by presenting different meanings and people have to follow it rigidly to be a hindu? Defending by self strengthening and defending by weakening others are two different way and there is nothing wrong in the first option.
Then we have another line of argument -- Secularism is weakened stance against fanatics and fundamentalists. Saying so is equivalent to saying hinduism is weaker - i dont find any difference in secularism and hinduism apart from hinduism being a superset.
PS: I dont learn secularism through Mulayam, Maya, Nitish and congress lens nor to some extent BJP.
Religion leads to spirituality, dont fool yourself.
