Referring to Mr Jubel’s letter dated 29th April 2017 not some, but all the Hindu people worship the cow; and not simply it because it is Lord Krishna’s favourite animal, but due to its nature it is considered as good as a mother since Vedic times. Each religion has certain prohibitions for certain animals. The writer failed to verify that the Indian government is keen to act on crimes such as women being molested, raped, unduly divorced and killed.
The majority NDA government is fulfilling its promises declared in its election manifestos in a democratic country, and ‘Hindutva’ being the indigenous ideology of most people of India, is nurtured along with multicultural ideologies of society.
‘Secular’ word is not in the preamble of the Indian constitution since its inception, because Mahatma Gandhi wanted ‘Ramrajya’ after independence and wanted Congress to be dispersed as soon as independence was sought. But it was newly and unduly introduced by Mrs Indira Gandhi in 1976, emergency having most of the parliament members in jail, and as such it is illegal.
Indians are living in multi religious, multicultural and multi plural society, therefore, it’s absurd for the government and the judiciary to remain secular in their roles. As a matter of fact the word ‘secular’ and its meaning in Indian constitution is ‘dead’ now in Indian democracy people believe.
