even the islamic fundamentalists also thinks moderates and secularists as fools but that doesn't change the fact that only fools are religuous fundamentalists.Haha, look what happens when you are a secular country and try to 'fight' terrorism tooth and nail by bringing in tons of refugees and housing and feeding them.
I guess when fundamentalist fight fundamentalist then there won't be any refugee problem you don't sapre anybody to be a refugee, you kill everybody including the innocents.
Only a fool thinks that moderat'ism' can fight fundamentalism. In any case, this is exactly what happens when you try to do something ridiculous like that. You get butchered.
Indian army war cries i believe is followed from british period..there it is from a background of people finding pride and emotion in regional,cast, and religious identities rather than indian nationalism..its part of our history and tradition but that doesn't mean that it should not be changed now.In 1949 itself the Indian government abolished recruitment on an ethnic, linguistic, caste, or religious basis.so when you point out such things what you should understand is that we are moving towards opposite direction not towards the old times.many such things are part of our tradition, we have abandoned many such very obvious practices, we are still continuing many less obviously religious practices cuch as breaking coconut etc because those are very difficult to conclude whether it can be termed cultural or religious..there are many such things where arguments can be made for or against..there are many such gray areas...where its difficult to stand for or against it..but one thing i am sure about is the direction we should move..such examples cannot be an excuse to introduce more and more religious things into the govt and system..those things should be considered as an exception because of its historical nature and tradition..Ever heard of the Indian Army? Ever heard of them being Secular? Hope you have. These secular folks have some war cries, which may sound very 'secular' to you - take a look.
Be good enough to explain why Indian Army and 'Right wingers' have similar war cries.
times has changed now and today there shouldn't be any other slogan or war cry which can supass the feeling pride, emotions and confidance when one say and hear bharath matha ki jai or vande matharam ".
it is a tradition which should give way to change. I have expressed my opinion when i debated with sir.ray.
