Hindu Bali, Indonesia, Malacca, Malayasia

[Guest]

According to media reports the Indian External Affairs Ministry had asked Bali governor Dewa Made Bertha to use the phrase "Indian culture" rather than "Hindu culture" since India was a secular country.

This is a typical example of the secular sickness that has gripped the country. Instead of making these idiotic statements such as 'please no sex, we are secular', it would have been far better to refer the request to one of the Hindu religious trusts(e.g. the Shankaracharyas) and let them handle the request,saying the Government does not get involved in religious matters. Any number of private religious organizations in India would be happy to deal with the Balinese.
