Re: [IAC#RG] OUR INDIA NEEDS TO BE ETERNALLY SECULAR

Respected Shenoy ji

You are very correct. The Fundamental Duties include firstly  "To abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions, the National Flag and the National Anthem; "

All the tweets and videos I have seen of the anti-CAA protests, show that these protestors are holding placards of the Preamble (thereby showing respect) and also waving the national flag (showing they respect the Indian nation) and are singing the national anthem voluntarily.

However, what does the Central Govt Police forces do recently in Delhi ?
They brutally beat up some Muslim boys and force them to sing Vande Mataram instead of National anthem while they are profusely bleeding and  beating them so brutally that 1 of them (Faizan) dies after 48 hours in illegal police custody.


The only more anti-national similar police brutality I recall is when Lt. Col. Prasad Purohit was illegally confined, framed and tortured (in presence of a senior Army Colonel R.K. Shrivastava) by IB and Mumbai ATS cops after Purohit reported to his superiors from 13.Oct.2008 till 15.10.2008 that actually so-called Sadhvi Pragya Thakur (now a BJP MP) is a Hindu terrorist behind the Malegaon bomb blast then being attributed to Muslims by IB.

Is this how the lawkeepers show respect for the national anthem and our national song or to our Army officers ?

So my counter question,

"When the Police does not respect the law and the Indian Constitution, why should citizens do so ?"

The so many precious lives and enormous property destroyed in those organized riots in Delhi is outrageous. Despite thousands of calls having been made to the Police and Fire Officials seeking help the authorities on political diktats chose to look the other way while lives were being lost and property destroyed. The worst sectarian violence for decades. Mosques, schools, homes and shops were set on fire and innocent worshippers attacked. 

What is very much disturbing is that thousands of the young children in Delhi will now have no school to go to as their Temples of learning have been ransacked and destroyed in broad day light. Let our thoughts and concern be with those young helpless kids. What is further disturbing is that India's highest shrine of Justice remained helpless in that carnage that was going on in its very neighborhood. 

There can be no room whatsoever for politics of hate and the current divisive atmosphere is so very disturbing. There can also be no space at all for intolerance. The long term implications of what is currently going on across our India is so dreadful.

Sustainable development, and vital services like hospitals, schools, electricity, water, roads for the benefit of the people matter far more to the populace than destructive divisive politics of hate, religious or communal divide and the deliberate segregation of people based on arbitrary criteria. People are justified to treat such callous moves as a deliberate distraction from the harsh reality of the poor performance of the rapidly faltering economy.  

Our fundamental right to freedom of speech and the very sacred right to dissent in the world's largest democracy can never ever be compromised.  India's very secular fabric needs to be preserved at all costs. Our great country should forever thrive on the concept of Unity in Diversity which our nation was always proud of. United we stand and Divided we fall!

Let us all very unitedly appeal to our Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Home Minister Amit Shah to please lay to eternal rest that very controversial, divisive and needless CAA/NRC and NPR that critics say is an effort to tear at the fabric of India's secular identity. Let us all work together to ensure that Peace and Understanding prevails while ensuring that our great India attains its long overdue status of a Super Power. Toiling towards the much needed recovery of the country's currently extremely faltering economy should be our one and only top priority.

Government has a fundamental duty enshrined in the Constitution to ensure that all its citizens are protected irrespective of their caste, creed, race or political affiliation and to project India as a global superpower and a bastion of peace and harmony and not a bedrock of religious tensions and persecution of minorities.
