Beauty and Idea of My India

"    I do not think we need to fear for the survival of secularism in India. Tolerance and pluralism are ingrained in Indian culture. Of course, there are aberrations – as in any system – and we neither condone nor gloss over them. But the very fact that such aberrations are widely publicized, commented upon and condemned shows that they are rare and strongly arouse our social conscience. Let us also remember that one of the aims of terrorist organizations is precisely to weaken the secular fabric of India. It is the strength of our secularism that has withstood this repeated wounding by terror."
