Is it Secularism or Pseudo ( ಸುಡೊ) Secularism?

Time and again we keep hearing the term secularism thread being damaged or under attack by Communal. Especially by some parties who have declared themselves as the saviors of secular threads in India.

What is Secularism? not long ago, some 15 years back,  In school, I remember reading    “India is a secular country, where all religions, caste's and sects are treated equally”, but fast forward, people are treated with lot of favoritism, mainly for vote bank. Every day  we  read charges and counter charges on the secularism being spoil or under great threat !!

Well, very recently we have seen two incidents in Indian Politics.

1    

        A  leading politician claimed he was a proud Hindu Nationalist, and there it starts, anti Indian, anti secular, anti minorities etc by all other parties and Medias. Just because an Indian national who is Hindu says he a proud nationalist, what is wrong in it? Is it crime to call himself / herself as a Hindu or nationalist? His statement made headlines and breaking news in most of the media for long time 

     

       A so called secular party person said, Indian Mujahideen is the result of Godhra incident!! It can’t be an irony than this. Being a responsible person, he should have read history of Indian Militancy clearly before making such statements or is it purposefully said to gain some attention in media and some sects in society for vote purpose?  How can a person justify the birth of such organizations which are responsible for killing and destroying Indian assets?

Some sixty plus members of parliament have written letter to a foreign country asking them not give Visa to an Indian CM. How shameless it can be when Indian MP’s write to another country asking them not give permission to fellow Indian. Definitely our people would be laughed at, in other country.

We also have some personalities, who will remember a particular place to build temple, assuring to do so, if they come to power, but they themselves ruled country for few years but dispute continued even then and off course other parties will not allow it be completed. And that very place will be used a vote bank politics to grab more support

The best example can be of a CM who was in coalition with a nationalist party for more than 15 years and for some vague reasons they broke truce. And suddenly he and his party become secular and friends of other similar secular parties... how can a party become secular or communal within hours of breaking or joining hands with an outsider.

Communal and Secularism must be the most ruthlessly used word in Independent India. No matter what happens in any part of the country, these two words are popped up.

Media is also to be equally blamed for spreading this myth of communal and secularism in the country. Media should be the guardian for all the untoward incidents in society but there are many media houses which will always support or against a particular sect / political party. Why are they doing so...? Will always remain a mystery till someone reveals the nexus between pillars of democracy.

Why that some politicians always remind 2002 Incident? Why is that media is behind post Godhra incident and doesn’t want to talk about the circumstance which lead to it. Yes, it’s truly sad to see people getting killed, but there were hundreds of such inhumane thing happened in pre and post independent India.

In fact 1984 riots were also against a particular sect, why they are always ignored when courts have given many rulings against few “secular party” leaders.  

Let our rulers get the original idea of secular and start treating all of us in India, with equal rights, dignity and opportunity. Let us not be divided by them for sake of their votes.

No doubt lot of people have started feeling the biased secularism and called it as pseudo secularism. Well it’s true as well, in Kannada the pronunciation of the word pseudo (ಸುಡೊ) means “to burn” and we all are felling it. I am sure; days are not far when we feel the heat of this appeasements, double standards and insensitivity of politicians towards fellow Indians and start dividing people & society in these lines. Expect it will not happen... hopefully...
