INDIA FAST BECOMING INTOLERANT SECTARIAN STATE !
*It has become virtual crime to speak,write or depict truth in any manner.
*Freedom of speech and expression is being redefined in the light of illogical,irrational and obscurantist concepts.
* Theoretically speaking,the Indian constitution is completely secular :its principles of 'justice,liberty,equality and fraternity' invoke no divine power,no holy book[s] and no sacred tradition,yet ironically in practice and perception,democratizing [appeasement ?]to all major religions,without simultaneously democratizing access to scientific temper and secular education,has led to the creation of sectarian,intolerant and obscurantist society.
*Gone are the days,when establishment stood for the right of expression and speech,now establishment, polity and state Governments simply crawl and bend with least resistance,when fringe groups "direct" them to bend.
*Today a situation has arisen ,when we are offended by films-we have neither watched nor are we able to understand the basic concepts,books we have not read,girl bands we have not heard and paintings we have not seen.
*Again and again,the Indian state,despite all its vaunted powers,has chosen to side with anti democratic forces and abjectly surrendered or shamelessly pandered to belligerent fringe groups who are opposed to freedom,liberty and dignity of the individual.
