Indian definitions of "secularism" and "communalism"
Mr Selvan, The confused and confusing use of these two terms is merely meant to exploit the "secular" public! Here I mean public are to be designated as truly "secular" - no need for any confusion!! As far as anti-BJP walas go, "you won't be (confused) if you substitute Opportunism in the place of Secularism"!!!
Anyways, I have the highest respect for you and highest regards for your views, as you seem to grasp the neo-colonial politics of the anti-Hindus!! Same respect goes for other patriotic citizens of Hindustan!! (Yes, I wont phrases like you are "as narrow as your breasts are.." to cite a vulgar brute and other crude rogues always onto personal attacks unless...!!)
Ponniyin Selvan:
And most such definitions appearing in this Sulekha Forum "for people who are interested in finding definitions" "Obfuscationism" [The activity of obscuring people's understanding, leaving them baffled or bewildered.]
Ha re Krishna! Guruvayurappa!! Enikku Ithuvum Venum, Iniyum Venum!!!
Muruga, Senthilvadivela, Selvakumara, Saranam! Saranam!!

Keep a road named in the heart of capital, after the worst tyrant India has seen in the last 1000 years, Aurangzeb - Secularism
Question about that - Communalism

Bal Thackeray, the founder of Shiv Sena, a Hindu fundamentalist party based in Mumbai, has openly praised Hitler and said he was willing to wipe out troublemaking Muslims. Shiv Sena's secretary, Anil Desai, said Thackeray liked Hitler's leadership abilities, not his attempts to exterminate the Jews.
Thackeray likes "the way Hitler pushed the things in his time," Desai said."

I hear ya, perhaps the Govn. has similar resons for getting excited about Aurangzeb - there must be someting magical but his tyrannical leadership skills as well. I think Rashmun can explain better.
Carvaka, what do u think of renaming Aurangzeb Road to Jahangir Road? (there already exists an Akbar Road in the vicinity so u can't rename Aurangzeb Road as Akbar Road)
I have no clue about when or why or by whom this road was named after Aurangzeb. but i agree that communal figures like Aurangzeb should not be honoured in this fashion (naming roads after them, etc.)
there is also a krishna menon road by the way in the vicinity; we all know that menon was a bit of an ass.

Now everyone knows
In 1947 on the first I-DAY, the Hindu Civil Society perhaps thought the {later known as "savage"} islamic communalists will be equals with equal rights and equal duties and responsibilities! Alas, it has been a pipe dream!! These communalists have been grabbing more than their fair share with the use of savage force - time and again; and they keep on robbing big pieces out of the "small Saffron roti"{ to quote Seetha-ji} with the result farmers are commiting suicide, MP's mothers are unable to feed their babies...etc all 'coz of the criminal and economic burden the pakki wards have been - the 20% of the population - the abominable masses of pakki refugees left dumped on India illegitimately - esp-ly the azmi-hashmi-khan types who dominate bollywood, politics...etc.
Thus, one thought colonialism was worse than nazism; now we know islamofascism which is the worst combination of both is obviously worse than both! I.e minority rule by use of savage force - combining nazi Germany and botha's S Africa. Let me quote you, Begum Raza:=
"It is not prudent to spend your hard earned money and valuable time on a morally questionable characters like bollywood khans You are all gambling your future of Mother India away like Arjun's brothers in the epic story did to Draupadi.
Simple advice...to muslims
"Dont insult your Hindu hosts.....that too, dont behave savagely!! If you do, dont be surprised if you are kicked out unceremoniously!! "
Let us expose bollywood and cricket mafia via might of the pen or boycott them! !
I wish India is as tough on savage islamic communalists as Morocco, Saudistan are."//////
And again:= "One cant force hate into or erase Hindutva from the minds of the secular public, the same way you cant force love towards "savage islamic communalists and xian crooks..."
The "different forms of Hinduism" have always been respected as part of a rich Hindu pluralistic tradition. It is the anti-democratic and anti-secular minority section that is attempting "to establish political (neo-colonial) dominance over "others" in a vicious and insidious climate of us-versus-they type polarizing bigotted hate politics and divisive antics where loss of Hindu lives is not critical, loss of their ancient culture is not important, loss of their wealth is trivial...and so on.
Certainly, the Hindutva secularists continue to tolerate Moslems and Christians, though they may not always be excessively tolerant towards their criminal or nefariously dangerous activities, their savage atrocities and their complicit antics in weakening of the economy and secular social fabric ."//////////
