Re: Is India A Secular Nation?
I will not judge the country by the action of few politicians. Yes there are right wing, left wing and centralist parties in India and each espousing their own cause. However, the greatest test of secularism is the practice of different religions in the land. Some of the examples are:
1) There are thousands or mosques, churches which are existing and even constructed every year. Government grants land at no cost or minimal cost for the same.
2) A muslim or a christian boy can marry a Hindu girl and not go to jail.
3) A Hindu can officially convert into other religion.
