FREETHINKERS THOUGHT !
Constitution wise our country is democratic and secular state and not theocratic one,though Indian state in practice and perception has failed to significant extent to have meaningful and purposeful distance from all religions,particularly after the death of our first prime minister Nehru.Ironically enough,present government dominated exclusively by right wing forces,are patronizing one particular religion in the name of majoritarianism .
Religion is a private matter.People are supposed to be free to choose their religion or even not to opt for any religion and there should be no compulsion or threat for such option.It is beyond any logic or comprehension that why followers of one particular religion should question religious or non religious faith of all others,while defending their own religious hypothesis.After all,any variety of religiosity is not a substitute for thought and reason.There is emphatic constitutional declaration under article 51[A]H-which states that it shall be duty of every citizen of india to follow ,scientific temper,humanism,spirit of inquiry and reform.
