The much touted clash of civilisation-between the East and the West. More specifically between the Western way of life and the orthodox muslim life-style is irrelavent in India. If muslims have a problem with the Western world they are the muslims in American and Europe and the Middle-East. Not in India. The muslims in India do not join the chorus of a jehad agaist the west. Even American President was forced to admire the Indian Muslim. He observed that when there were countless American and European Muslims who swore allegiance to Osama Bin Laden, there wasnt a single Indian muslim who was part of the Al-Quida. That sure does speak volumns about the prural Indian society. There sure are sporadic communal clases between the Hindus and Muslims-most notably the Gujrat Riots but that hasnt pushed the muslims into declaring the rest of the Indians as enemies. One fervently prays it stays that way.
indian is a secular state but the appeasement of the minorities-namely the muslims goes againt the very grain of secularism. The appeasement is done by political parties-primarily the Congress party and it only encourages the right wing hindu fundamentalists to advocate their fascist ideals. Religion methinks has done more harm to humanity than good.
