The comment below is why I believe secularism is
doomed in India and among Indians. When majoritarian
elements indulge in religion based bigotry, it can
perhaps be understood (but not excused) as a means to
power. When minorities, whom secularism is designed to
protect, indulge in blatant religious bigotry, whither
secularism ? Why indeed do we need it?
