Secularism at the cost of Hinduism
Wikipedia says: With the Forty-second Amendment of the Constitution of India enacted in 1976, the Preamble to the Constitution asserted that India is a secular nation. However, the Supreme Court of India in S. R. Bommai v. Union of India established the fact that India was secular since the formation of the republic.
I want to put it as India is a Secular nation(since Republic) at the cost of Hinduism; if the situation demands. I would like to highlight a few examples.
- Has anyone of you heard the last speech of Nathuram Godse, yes the man who murdered Gandhiji! You think he's a terrorist(a sort of) but I say he's a Nationalist and a true Hindu. He shares some dark truths. During partition of India, several massacres, widespread violence occurred. The main reason was Gandhiji. He and the Congress Government at that time ignored the safety of the hindus residing in Punjab, Bengal(East Bengal-now Bangladesh), Sindhu and left them to the mercy of cruel Muslim Government. 15,000 Sikhs were shot dead. Hindu women were run naked in processions and sold at cheap rates. In short the Indian Government did not protect the Pakistani Hindus. The Hindus and the Sikhs starting marching towards India, at that Rotis were thrown at them from Air planes. Imagine the cruelty. The point is that if the Indian government had warned the Pakistani Government that if the violence did not stop, Muslims in India too would be tortured and murdered, then this scale of bloodshed would not have occurred.
- Since the Temples and Gurudwaras in Pakistan were demolished by mobs, the people ran to seek refugee in India. They took refugee in the abandoned mosques in Delhi. But the father of the nation had other plans. He ordered the Hindus to vacate the Mosques to make space for the Muslims and grant them to Muslim organisations. It was Winter, It was raining. People ran to Birla House(where Gandhiji resided) to seek help and justice. But Gandhiji did not respond. Not a single house or piece of land was given to refugees as compensation. The point is if Hindu temples were demolished in Pakistan, Mosques were vacated for Muslims in India.
- Today is 6th December, Babri Majid day, the day when Hindus demolished the illegal structure. To this AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi tweeted and reminded the Muslim youths to remember their ancestors: how they had prayed in the masjid since decades since centuries. Now what say as a secular Indian is that: the Ram Mandir which stood there since centuries was destroyed by some Jihadis and an illegal structure constructed. Years after, Hindu mobs destroyed the illegal structure and again the Legal structure is going to be build.
- Yograj Singh(actor and former cricketer) said in a recent interview, remarked that Hindus are those who for centuries did GHULAMI and their ladies are sold cheaply. This is secularism and this is Freedom of Expression. Isn't it Secularism at the cost of Hinduism??
What I say is that there should be Unity and Secularity, but not the cost of Hinduism. We all Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, etc we all are equal. We all should respect each others religious sentiments. Certain people try to create disharmony in the country, and we should not glorify it. Jai Hind!
Absolutely correct!!
