This month's Goanet operations sponsored by an Anonymous Donor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Selma, We should remember that being a secularist is an ideal that is enshrined in the Indian constitution. As I have said on many occasions here, India is a secular democratic republic. Accordingly, all Indian citizens should be proud secularists. Being a non-secularist would be an unenviable thing. Such a person would not have a serious commitment to religious tolerance or to separation of church and state. Typically, we would find him to be a pharisaical religious chauvinist.
