Nasci, There was nothing subtle in my statement that, according to secularism as enshrined in the Indian constitution, all religions, as well as of the absence of religion, are equal in all respects. What you are talking about is some kind of religious caste/class system where you hold your own religion and, perhaps, certain other religions in higher esteem than others. As for the questions you ask, and some points you raise, I provide below my answers and comments:

But I respect your right to believe whatever you want to believe. Cheers, Santosh _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
