Do you know the actual meaning of the word secular? Not the meaning which is nowadays being represented in Indian Politics which we call as "Sickular"
Secular means someone who does politics without religion. Your two sentences are contradictory. He cant be a secular leader if he claims to be a Muslim Leader
However he is a "Sickular" leader who likes to promote the cause of Muslims over Hindus while claiming to be secular
Interpretation of Secularism by Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan ( the president of India and interpreter of Hinduism). Dr Radhakrishnan defined secularism as equal respect to all religions and never should be considered as irreligious
Dr Radhakrishnan argued that there is nothing called “irreligion”. Atheism is a quest for higher religion compatible with the increased knowledge. Secularism itself is a spiritual construct. He explains: “There is no state religion. All the different forms are given equal place, provided they do not lead to corrupt practices. Each one is at liberty to approach the unseen as it suits his capacity and inclination. If this is the basis of our secular state, to be secular is not to be religiously illiterate. It is to be deeply spiritual and not narrowly religious”.
The importance of religion as a social institution can be realised easily today. Our rivers were much safer and cleaner when they were worshipped as goddesses than by all the environment laws put together. The belief in humanity and common good can protect human beings better than draconian laws. It is this power of religion as a social institution
