The Secular Stake- A Burden, or a Democratic Imperative? By Sanjay Kumar/ Kafila.org: After the recent political success of Hindutva, we are already seeing how in the name of protecting sentiments of the so called majority religious community efforts are on to control what individuals can read, how young couples should behave, what young women should wear, and children should study. Indians do not have to wait for full bloodied talibanisation of their society to see what everyday life would be under a non-secular regime, the shadows are already here. The similar set of steps in the name of minority interests, as has happened many times in India, is not secularism, but competitive communalism.
