Ekam Sad Vipra Bahudha Vadanti

Secularism! Secularism! Secularism! Secularism!
This word reverberates in the television studios like some prayer OR name of some deity. In the last 1-2 years, Congress Party had made this as their main plank against the advent of Mr. Narendra Modi. It tried to project that advent of Mr. Modi will turn India into a Hindu Pakistan. Trying to cover up their Scams, Failures, etc. they tried to make Secularism as their main shield against the growing popularity of Mr. Modi.
Being secular lies at the core of every indian nationalist. India is a nation which sheltered the persecuted parsis. While the world may have been hostile towards them but India has provided them the much needed relief & comfort. The Hindu ideology which professes the concept of "Ekam Sad Vipra Bahudha Vadanti" has made India into a all accepting sea which allows all the rivers to flow into it. A true nationalist hindu believes that all the religion are true which ultimately lead us to the divine force which drives the universe. Secularism is not something alien to indian society but it's something interwoven in our social fabric. Secularism has been our identity since time immemorial.
This debate around secularism is not the result of some change in our mindsets. But the reason behind this debate is the discrimination which has been meted out to the majority community. The political class which tried their minority appeasement politics for political gains have done a severe damage to India's social fabric. This discrimination against the majority class has made the majority to rethink their stand on secularism. Minority politics has ruined the nation. A true indian is secular by birth but the champions of sickularism have made him communal.
India is a all absorbing mother which has place for anyone & everyone. But we need to do away with certain political ideology which has created this divide. The Lok Sabha Elections of 2014 have given a severe blow to these champions of sickularism. But they need to be completely decimated for redeveloping India to it's earlier glory.
