Glad to note that the skin-deep secularists are now exposing themselves on Goanet. Earlier, the argument used to be "my bigots are better than your bigots". Now it seems to have shifted to: "if you challenge the logic of my bigots, I will target you instead". All while claiming the "secular" space

I do not agree with Rajan that Admin Noronha is anti-Hindu. But it is clear to me that he is not a secular pluralist either. The grounds for this belief are quite obvious. Admin Noronha is driven by an entrenched ideology. As with all ideologies, it has outlived its purpose, if it had any purpos

Dr. Helekar, Referring to your e-mail (sic) about the dictionary meanings of the right words; 'apology' / 'regret' means, whether written or spoken expressions of one's regret, remorse etc... I am fully aware of these connotations, so there is no need for you to teach you understand. About Chris
