Stop pitying yourself. You have the power to vote and go vote and bring the change, you want to see.
70 years of secularism does not get out wiped out in an instant. Governments come and go, but If the nation's constitution and laws remains secular. Then everything can change, in a blink of an eye.
We are both looking at the current events in India, and from that, foreseeing differing outcomes in the future. Your version is more optimistic than mine. Perhaps where each of us stand in Indian society, forms the basis of our prognosis.
Time will tell whose prediction ultimately bears out. Deep in my heart I want yours to come true.
As far as "70 years of secularism" go. Have you pondered that maybe when viewing India with a prism of 2000 years, maybe this was an aberration?
This quote from Krishna Prasad, former editor at Outlook keeps me wondering...
"...And I think there is no rational answer for what has happened, except that we pretended to be what we were for fifty, sixty years. But we are now reverting to what we always wanted to be, which is to pummel minorities, to push them into a corner, to show them their places, to conquer Kashmir..."
