Secularism – Redefined!

The Dictionary definition of Secularism states “rejection of religion or any kind of religious considerations”. It does not recognises any religion per se. And I am pretty sure, the respected constitution framers of our constitution would have wanted to insert this particular word keeping its literal meaning intact. We were not supposed to recognise any religion apparently, which would mean implicitly respecting each other’s religion and giving them due recognition looking into India’s assorted culture and tradition.
But how far have we been able to understand and propagate this meaning of secularism? With 63 years of India’s independence, we have got enough time to try and understand the motive behind the framing of the constitution and the respected laws as they have been essentially made to benefit the general society and help to keep peace in the society. Though I agree that we have a diverse society where the number of cultures mixed together would be lot more than the colours of the Rainbow, but definitely it doesn’t just gives a licence to fight like morons and make a fool of ourselves.
The hue and cry we have during elections with communism and regionalism gaining huge influence on the people, the riots where the mobs generally do not have any clue of the devastation they create, the political cat fights where they are just against each other for the very sake of having differing opinions in spite of lack of matter in it and the list would go on and on!
Every time is it so we fail to understand why we stand united as a country together or we do not give a damn to it? We boast to be Indians but how many of us truly respect the basic features that bind so many diverse cultures together? If we do then why do we show such immaturity and make a mockery of ourselves?
