Pseudo-Secularism

Hindu dharma is implicitly at odds with monotheistic intolerance. What is happening in India is a new historical awakening... Indian intellectuals, who want to be secure in their liberal beliefs, may not understand what is going on.

In a new dimension to the ongoing debate on the headcount of minorities in the Army, the government has been working on identical survey on the minority community in other sectors as telecom, power, health and education following a categorical directive from UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi. Union Information Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunshi said in Maldah on Saturday.

Mr Dasmunshi, who was addressing a Congress-sponsored meeting at Maldah in North Bengal, said Mrs Gandhi had asked for a list of minorities employed in education, health, telecom and power sectors in the states as also the Centre.

“This data is sought for initiating more development work for them,” Mr Dasmunshi clarified.

According to him, the Centre would shortly be introducting more developmental programmes for minorities, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and discussions are at a final stage for implementing a modernisation scheme for minority educational institutions.
