The world doesn’t have only one religion.Neither have foreign rules in India brought only one Religion. I think it was Mr.George Fernandez who wrote in “Illustrated weekly that “I am a Christian because my parents are Christian.” It should be true for all.Nobody has done a comparative study of the wrong and rights in every religion and practice itExclusionary 'nationalism' practiced from Babur times have brought about the inclusion of more Indians in Babur brought Religion’s fold by proselytization for fear of life or other compulsions of invader’s rule so much so that 1946 the undivided India was the country of the biggest population of babur Brought religion.and Babur clan rule had obliterated the language of North India – Sanskrit is not a spoken language now-replacing it with foreign Tongues whatever it may be. The British had not made India the country having the biggest population of people who practiced the religion they patronized, nor had they caused the obiliteration of any of India’s spoken language. That exclusionism ended when the British defeated the then Sultans- is it bahadur sha saffer- and took over.So it is rightly said “eagerly awaited morning will certainly dawn tomorrow, with new ideas, new idioms, new slogans, new vision, new programmes as the Sultan Rule and the later British Rule folded.Exclusionism will not solve everyday needs and the economic well being of the people.

He believes in caliphates? Where did you get that from? Not the article. Why don't you mention specifically what you don't like? Your points are too vague.
The message of constructive assertion of nationalism is essential to usher in a flow of uninterrupted investment and economic growth in an environment of stability and consistency that can come only with strengthening our thousands of years old origins and doing away with what was tampered with during a few centuries of mughal and british rule.
It is NEEDED the most ....NOW. Constitution can be amended now ....it was unfairly conceived and written under british influence which had cradled and indoctrinated congress for 65 long years(1885-1850) till the Declaration of The Republic in 1950 Jan.....the Nation suffered the next 65years till Modi came and busted them all.....we can now bring back our demogaraphically-consistent nationalism for good.

2nd para 2nd line error read 1885-1950 and not 1885-1850...error regretted.
There was no word called “Secular” in Indian Constitution. Since Hindus were living & following in most liberal, tolerant & democratic way of life for thousands years, secular word was not uttered anywhere. “Secular” word implemented in Fundamental rights in the 42nd Amendment of the constitution enacted in 1976 to play with Mulim vote bank politics & added in the Indian constitution. Same as, Communists party & leader Joyti Bose given permission to play with Sword over Hindus head during Muharram, which was banned by Britishes long ago.
