Communal riots might be increasing at whatever rate
But my India is still a secular state
Power
wooing muslims and opposition promoting hindutva till date
But my India is still by “our definition” a secular state

Political leeches sucking blood in the name of religion everywhere
I wonder, how my India still maintains a secular air?
Unbiased Indian politics has divided us for “vote capture”
But see my India is still famous for it’s secular nature

Hindus have divine connection,muslims are the terrorists
But our secularism is so pure and untouched by the “rapists”
Our great leaders openly organize religious functions
But never do they forget secular fashion

State machinery runs on religious reservations and preferences
I wonder, till when will we call India secular in references?
Religious butchers with their knives at our jugular
I wonder,What is the real meaning of “secular”??

For all those Indians, who think that the meaning of secular is “tolerant to all religions”…….

In standard references, the definition of secular is not “tolerance to all religions” but it means that the state machinery should be totally independent of religious influence and no political leaders are allowed to show their preferences for any religion by participating or organizing religious rituals openly!
