Redefining Secularism

1. A painter shows Indian goddesses nude. There are protests. The government feels its communal. Left parties denounces hegemony of majority community. He is nominated for Bharat Ratna by a major news channel.

2. A Muslim writer writes against some practices of Islam. She is denounced by Muslim clergy. There are protests in Left dominated states. She is practically barred from the country by the same central government.

This is secularism in India.
