Pseudo secularism or constructive secularism in India?

Secularism is the sacred n holy principal of India because it’s part of India’s nature.
Republic of India cannot be alive without the secularism . Either there’s secular India or  India that we know will cease to exist. So no religious group or a political unit holds a way here. To be precise secularism is the foundation of India. But it is practiced according to convenience making it pseudo secularism in some parts of India.

Secularism was the holiest principal of national movement and Indian Constitution 
If the secularism doesn’t exist nation will shatter into pieces.

Now u may say that 80 percentage of Indian population belong to one religious then let majority rule the nation.What’s role of secularism here?
Firstly 20percent minorities means approx 25 crore population which is nearly the population of United States. So it becomes a huge number accordingly.

Secondly democracy doesn’t mean  majorities rule in sense that majority is defined by birth.
In democracy, it’s majority that rules irrespective of religious ideology provided that we can be the part of majority someday on the basis of similar opinion.

Third Hindu religion is very ancient and deep tradition which is itself very diverse. Northern Hindu n southern Hindu share  same religion but the belief, rituals, tradition are highly variable.When we hear the word secularism we think it’s for the minorities but we forget that India is nation of minorities. Every individual is a minority here on religious or linguistics basis. 
If there are riots in Mumbai against Hindi speaker it doesn’t concern whether he is Hindu or Hindi speaker. So secularism is the principal to protect every single person 

But secularism is hypocritical because in the name of secularism the policies which are framed in nation, the thought , the intellectual efforts that has been put in and the politics that has happened is hypocrisy.

Today secularism has turned into such a ugly word that it has lost its value and the amount of positive impact it possessed at a point in our Indian framework, the one word which United entire India for Gandhi ji’s Dandi march. Is it the impact of government in poer? NO,this politics of secularism is done since independence and also few times destroyed the minorities.

By making triple talaq a centre of attraction Is serving party hiding the reality of Sachar reports of last 10 yrs ? Does reports states that today in India Muslims neither have education nor jobs? Are they facing discrimination in housing? Is security of Muslim family concerned? Is Politics has been done by engaging community on symbolic issues n ignore the real issues they face?

There are many questions unanswered when it comes to secularism and this makes spelling secularism in country like India a matter of hypocrisy.

So Secularism is sacred for our nation which has become a part of hypocrisy. All we can say is India is a secular nation and we are part of such sacred culture. Its our due responsibilty as a nation to stop it turning into pseudo secularism.
