Secular India

They burn the Bible and the Christians. They burn the Qura'n and the Muslims. They kill the Sikhs and desecrate their most sacred place of worship - Darbar Sahib. To them all other than Hindus are untouchable and to be ostracized. Dalits cannot even draw water to drink from their wells. A Brahmin must take a shower to cleanse himself if the shadow of a non-Hindu is cast upon him. They worship cow, drink its urine and as such Muslim are not allowed under the constitution to offer its sacrifice to perform a religious act of theirs on the eve of Hajj. And yet, India claims to be a secular state! And the world accepts this such flimsy claim! What has become of the world’s conscience and intellect?
