As one reads the scriptures of Christianity and Islam with a morally alert mind, one starts getting sick of the very sound of word 'god' which word is littered all over this literature like dead leaves in autumn.

The only substantial contribution was made by an RSS lawyer hailing from Anantnag in Kashmir. I have studied Islam in depth, he said, and found it to be a great religion.

Thus Hindu society not only presents itself as a prey to these exclusive, intolerant and imperialist ideologies but also acts as a buffer between them. India is secular because India is Hindu.

Let it be realized by everybody concerned that India has always been and remains, the citadel of the most bigoted and bloodthirsty zealotry of Islam. The historical reasons for why it is so, are many. I do not have the time to detail them here. The main reason may be told. Islam in India has been what it has been because India has continued to stare at Islam as its greatest failure. Islam in India has never been able to relax, as it could do in countries which it converted completely.
