Almost appearing to defend his charge, Reddy wished this ministry were taken as seriously as it was in France .
"I wish we could understand culture as politicians do in France . Culture is a very prestigious and important portfolio in France ." <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I wonder what this Culture minister would say about France banning
the wearing of overtly religious symbols, including headscarves, skullcaps and large crosses, in schools and other public places. This is much like "civilizing missions" into Africa, where natives were offered citizenship in exchange for their total assimilation into French culture.
Isn't this cultural assimilation in the books of progressives in Congress and Communists' book "Fascism"? In fact when natives did not abandon and repent for their african culture, they were treated like secon-class citizens. These pinkos know that removing the signs of outward religious adherence restricts the ability of those individuals (read HINDUS) to feel as if they are part of a larger movement, and thus reduces their power. And to counter it, they promote overt and covert xtian and islamist agenda to stay in power.
That is why hindutva is such a dangerous phenomenon for them. One good thing is it shows these pinkos are ruling out of fear and suppressing any hindu movement considering it as a threat. They should know pluralism and tolerance in Bharat did not start on Aug 15h, 1947.
My two cents...
