There is something really wrong in a society that
believes it has to victimise people because of their
religious leanings.
Where is the moral leadership in situations like this?
Will leading Hindu politicos come out in public and
decry it? Will Hindu priests rally against such
prejudice? Will the police arrest those responsible
and bring them to justice? Or will they be let out
within the hour to rein havoc without penalty?
Someone sent me an article a few days ago which had a
label I can now proudly wear. Secular extremist.
That's what I want to become and spend the rest of my
life convincing others to become. We must become
intolerant of any religion that creeps into secular
morality, politics or any part of life to which its
input is irrelevant.
Have your own spiritual beliefs, worship your Gods in
your house, pray that your mancurads ripen, your visa
to the Gulf comes through, your daughter marries an
NRI, but try to form public opinion with your mumbo
jumbo, and you should be shut down with the force of a
tornado.
