Of course as I said earlier and I reiterate that wearing a certain attire doesn't make one secular but if one has no issues wearing Hindu religious symbols in public events then why have a problem with skull cap. Wearing a skull cap doesn't turn him into a muslim or for that matter a "pseudo-secular".
Congress that way is the most communal party in the country followed by TMC, SP, BSP, CPM and the latest, Nitish's JDU
They go head over heels to kiss the rears of some communities in a wrong manner and ignore the other.
This is what fans the right wing Hindu sentiments as a measure of retaliation.
Everybody complains that the Sangh does this and the Sangh does that... has anyone thought why and how it rose to power and prominence and due to what reasons?
I for one was one of the most fiercest critics of the Sangh.
But after seeing what the so-called seculars are doing with my community in my region, I feel that it is important to join hands with the Hindu community to ward off this menace that is being preached in the name of 'secularism'.
Its not that a politician after wearing a skull cap becomes secular but if a politician doesn't mind wearing mukuts, tilaks and all other things which are symbolically Hindu but has a problem wearing a skull cap it does ring a bell...
Secularism means separation of the church from the state. i.e. in Earlier days when the Roman Church/Vatican used to interfere in internal matters of other nations in Europe the whole concept was invented. Which is why you now have a 'church of England' that has no affiliation to Rome.
In Indian context, Raj Guru's and Raj Rishis where always part of govt. in advisory capacity. They where the policy makers but never the ruler. That is why Gandhi, a saint (religious leader) by definition was able to control politics in India. That is Indian secularism i.e. inclusion of religion in politics in advisory capacity. Its is part of our history, tradition , culture.
BJP is supposed to take up a LOT OF Causes for Everybody. That is what Political parties are supposed to do.
If they take up religious cause they will be 'called' religious party ....that does not mean it makes them one. If I am called a bigot or homosexual or hispanic ....its does not make me one. Kapish ?
..........
Because he is a hindu and there is no obligation on him to wear a skull cap just to prove he is secular.
then y not modi talk about muslim y he refuse to wear muslim cap y bjp y madhya pradesh cm giving money sri lanka for mandir there not for church or masjid not one single scheme launch by any bjp or shiv sena for minority dont talk baseless
Fair enough point but don't you think it is common for public figures to show this kind of symbolic gestures. This just doesn't happen in our part of world...
I wouldn't say that this would make them secular but hasn't this kind of symbolism become a norm. And I don't think you can really dispute secularism in UK or USA.
Well why don't you ask the maulanas and zakir naik to wear the tilak and show how secular they are?Respect goes both ways if you can't tolerate mine why should i tolerate your's?Of course as I said earlier and I reiterate that wearing a certain attire doesn't make one secular but if one has no issues wearing Hindu religious symbols in public events then why have a problem with skull cap. Wearing a skull cap doesn't turn him into a muslim or for that matter a "pseudo-secular".
That must be pseudo-secularism which is behind the root cause of all today's caste and religious divide .
You want that to continue .This is the 21st century not Ancient India.
OK ... Take up the cause but when they take up the causes selectively , they will be branded as such .
