Livewire, If you are saying India became secular or she was divided into pakistan because majority pushed for it, or majority made it possible ...... as in ur form of democracy ......... I am not buying ur story. Ur thought is not more that a mere blabbing to me too ...... If ur form of democracy was the real one .... sorry to tell you it doesnot exist in true democratic worlds ....... it may only be practical in radical muslim countries .... like Iran. I came up with 40%, taking into account that,.. people like you will be wise enough to go for secularism, if u urself are questioning me, it proves u are also guided by ur emotions. I am not, I am newar and as most of the newar I am confused between two religions. I pactice both, won't deny I may be more lenient towards Buddhism ...... but I celebrate more hindu festivals than buddhist. Don't get me wrong, I am just speaking my conscience. ImI bro, secularism within hinduism !!! is it possible ??? ....... its like " masu khayera vegiterian hune " jastai ho. In one hand you say, there was secularism before than now, on the other hand you say the extremist hindus will rise if we donot retain hinduism........... Is that the sign of secularism we had ???
