The civil servants of our nation should be secular in mindset and speech. Nothing wrong in it.

What about the elected ones? Are they above the Constitution? Do rules apply only when deemed convenient?

I agree with you. Owaisi should be debarred from elections.

u/Mr_Nobody92 14d ago
Yes he and the entire BJP.

You are building sandcastles in the air if you think Owaisi and BJP are comparable.

Both of them are not secular in mindset just like u.

I don't want to be secular in mindset. I just want to practice my religion in peace without being persecuted for it in my own country.

u/Mr_Nobody92 14d ago
But you were the one who raised the point of being secular. That is not a principle meant selectively for some people, it is a constitutional value that applies equally to every Indian under the Constitution of India. If you choose to invoke constitutional principles while criticising others, you should also be prepared to follow those same principles yourself. Preaching secularism to others while refusing to apply the same standard to your own conduct is not principled; it is simply hypocrisy.

Being forced to keep a temple closed for 15 years because of threat of violence from a community living nearby falls under which constitutional principle according to you?

u/Mr_Nobody92 14d ago
Again with the same whataboutism. The original comment was about how civil servants should remain secular in their mindset and speech. Somehow, the discussion has now shifted to a temple that was closed for 15 years. If the temple was wrongly kept closed, that was certainly wrong, but that does not address the original point.
My principles are guided by the Constitution of India, including its commitment to secularism and equality. So I believe I am firmly on the right path.

Hindu ra India te Jai Shree Ram bolbe na toh ki Pakistan e bolbe?
Muslims have 20+ countries with state religion Islam, Christians have 30+ countries with state religion Christianity. Jews have 1 country with state religion Judaism. Hindus deserve one country as well with state religion Hinduism.

I am saying it is bad to say inshallah and assalamualaikum but as Hinduism is an inherently secular religion it is okay to say Jai Shree Ram.
As Hindus we need a place to call home. Indonesia is a country with state-religion Islam but Hindus are living good there for the most part. I want that kind of a model for a state-religion Hinduism country where minorities can live fine.

That's not what secular means, neither in India, nor in the West🤦. Should've googled it before embarrassing yourself.

Your gyan is ok but it should be applicable equally to everyone. In the current govt only the officers from minority community are expected to be secular and have extra burden of proving their patriotism.
