Secular Double Standards

Secularism stands for religious neutrality, but in India, it's morphed into a rigged game where some faiths become punching bags while others enjoy protective bubbles. All while the gatekeepers pretend they're being fair.

There's dictionary secularism: religion and state kept separate. Clean lines. No favorites.

Then there's Indian secularism: where criticizing one faith makes you enlightened while questioning another makes you intolerant.

The secular crowd follows an unwritten script:

• Denounce Hindu traditions as regressive.
• Frame Muslims as victims.
• Never question certain orthodoxies—Ever.

It's favoritism wearing neutrality's clothes.

True secularism doesn't require you to randomly criticize anyone's faith. It simply demands consistency. When we allow a word like secular to be hijacked, we're allowing reality to be distorted.

There need to be the same rules, the same respect & the same scrutiny for everyone.

But when we create uneven standards, we're not being secular.
We're just picking sides—and calling it justice.
