True Secularists must take forward the fight against Indian Fascism

I condider myself as a secularist to the core and I don’t believe in any religion. Even in the case of those who believe in their respective religions,  religious faith must be purely the private affair of a person. It must never be taken to the public domain. Religions must be restricted within the four walls of the places of worship and never be taken to the street. When it is taken to the street, it becomes a danger to the people and the nation. No religious leader must be allowed to involve himself in the public and political affairs of the country. Secularism doesn’t mean equal consideration to all religions but no consideration to any religion. The word ‘secular’ is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as ‘ not concerned with religion or religious belief’. Only when we become not concerned with religion or religious belief we can become truly secular. In this sense I am truly secular.

I strongly believe that Mr. Narendra Modi is a danger to a secular India. So I am always on the opposite side of this power hungry poltitician. I have seen nobody in India so far who is nakedly exposing his ambition to be the Prime Minister of India. Now I am more determined to continue my fight against him with all the means available within my capacity. I have spent long hours of my life to study about Fascism and Nazism.  With my background of this knowledge of Fascism and Nazism , I can tell even without an iota of doubt Mr. Narendra Modi represents Indian Fascism.  I am much concerned about the startling similarities between Narendra Modi  and Adolf Hitler. I may even say that Modi is the incarnation of Adolf Hitler. So I am determined to fight tooth and nail against the danger of Modi plan to to kill the plurality of Indian polity and make it a monolithic entity .

Formerly  I was much optimistic about the role of Indian intellectuals in the promotion of secularism, but now I must say I am not.  The intellectuals are now on the other side of the great divide along with Fascist Narendra Modi. They are promoting him as ‘Vikas Purush’ through twitter, facebook etc. So we, the true secularists must be more careful to take forward the message of secularism.

Protect Indian Democracy as the pupil of your eye

 I fully believe that Congress is corrupt to the core. The image of the present generation of Gandhi-Nehru clan is tarnished.  I am not an admirer of corrupt Congress. Nor am I a follower of any political party. I criticize political parties when they go wrong and appreciate them when they are right. Though not a supporter of HIndutva politics, even then I agree with some policy stands of BJP like common civil code for all Indians, abolition of special status to Kashmir, stoppage of government assistance to Haj pilgrims etc. I am secularist to the core. 

But when it comes to Modi, I am much concerned. I don’t have any faith in that man and his democratic credentials. He is number one fascist.

Some of my friends console me saying that there is our president, parliament and the Supreme court. But I am afraid that Modi can manipulate all these institutions. When Indira Gandhi declared emergency and suspended all the democratic rights of the Indian citizens, all these institutions were there. A pliable president and parliament were easily manipulated. Everybody thought at least our Supreme Court will not be a silent spectator. But that was not the case. Had our Supreme Court taken a firm stand, emergency could have been quashed.  In the infamous Habeas Corpus case during the Emergency had the 5 member Supreme Court bench under Chief Justice S.S. Ray accepted the minority judgement of Justice H.R.Khanna without bending their spinal cord before Indira Gandhi, India could have been spared the agony of Emergency. The only end result of the minority judgement of Khanna was that he was denied the elevation to the post of Chief Justice of India.

I have also to remind you that during emergency the General Election was postponed after completion of full term of five years by Parliament for 2 more years.

So only  if people are vigilant and active our democracy can be protected.
