about is that the word Secularism definitely did not
take a birth or prominence in India after Babri Masjit
was demolished and after the inhuman crimes against
Christen and Muslim faith by Hindu brigade RSS. The
very inclusion of Nehruvian model of secularism which
was accepted after arriving at broad consensus in the
original constitution is very much indicative that the
above claim is not correct."
Dr Barad, birth and coming into prominence are
obviously not the same. Due attention was of course
given to the secular nature of the country in the
preamble to the Constitution.
But the recent activities targetted against Muslims
and Christians in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar
Pradesh, Rajasthan and Orissa put the word 'secular'
as enshrined in the Constitution back into focus.
Before that the word was hardly ever discussed.
