“In fact, there is no country less secular than India. Supporters of all religions are devotedly so to the extent that some of them are prepared to kill those who adhere to other religions for no other offense. Most of our holidays are not secular.”
“. . . the Indian Constitution is pro-religion. It is not secular. The word which was smuggled into the Constitution by Indira Gandhi is wrong.”
“The use of the word `secular’ by those who do not even understand its meaning is quite nauseating and it is high time we stopped using this term in the present context.”
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
