Why should there be an element of god when India is a secular country?
First, “secularism” does not mean keeping religion away from the people or the country. It denotes equal respect for all religions. The element of “god” actually gives us, irrespective of our faiths, an intangible strength in whatever we do. A religion is essentially centred around an element of Providence. We have so many religions and faiths. These are very powerful and organized institutions. These have their own impact in our day-to-day lives. When it comes to country, these must join together and play an active role for fostering emotional integration. If people are ordained by these religious institutions to commit and practise their love and loyalty to the country, it will usher in a revolution that will have far-reaching benefits for our land. That ultimate consequence is our dream.
