Nice to see your post here, rangudu.
Tarun vijay has captured the indian (nonsecularist ) viewpoint very well. No credit is given to the fact that India is one of the most inclusivist societies in the known galaxy. After all where will you find such diversity of views on every topic inlcuing religion.
The firengi sees our diversity as a weakness and seeks to exploit it by causing further partitions and splits in the subcontinent. But the fundamentall ethos (Hindutva for want of a better word) is about inclusiveness. Even the most die hard Sangh Parivari does not talk in Jihadi language but merely of regaining lost rights and equality under the law.
