Nepeshila, what education and consiousness are you talking about? Just because somebody has his /her support for a secular state, doesn't imply lack of education instead it is an educated judgement. "Secular" the word itself has always been a positive word. Karmapa,Vhootee and many others are the new future of the country. This is a new awakening for our nation. A nation where all religion and caste are equal. where freedom and justice prevails, irrespective of caste and social status. We need new ideas and new leaders, to guide the country. We should all get together for the collective good of the nation instead dwelling on a symbolic status which has never done any good and has only served to inflate egos and provide a sense of power & dominance.
