Kerala's youngest candidate fights his first election

Re: @giveanid - definition of secularism by giveanid on Apr 12, 2011 10:53 AM Borrowing your words, did you invent secularism to define as 'separating religion (meaning religious laws) from state (meaning constitution)'? Go look up the dictionary if you want the literal meaning. If you want interpretation, go read some books and learn what Gandhiji has said. And that is the secularism accepted and adopted in India.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: caste-based and religion-based politics by giveanid on Apr 12, 2011 10:43 AM NSS is for Nairs. So they won't give their share to anyone.

Re: @giveanid - gandhian secularism!!! by giveanid on Apr 12, 2011 10:46 AM Patriot, first of all, the word meaning of secularism is NOT "separation of religion from state". GO check if you want to get the literal meaning. Secondly, the interpretation if secularism by Gandhi is the accepted idea of secularism in India. To learn that, you will have to read some books...    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: @giveanid - gandhian secularism!!! by The Patriot on Apr 12, 2011 10:49 AM secularism was never INVENTED or BORN in india for u to define ur own secularism!!!! these are the different dictionary meanings: 1. Not specifically relating to religion or to a religious body 2. Religious skepticism or indifference 3. separating religion (meaning religious laws) from state (meaning constitution)    Forward   |   Report abuse
