i guess secular is someone who treats everybody the same irrespective of religion. I dont think Im there, I have my bias amongst people from certain religions. I also dont believe in religion so think that religion is actually creating all this trouble. People like me who were born in family with roots from Pakistan have had some serious lecturing when we were young. I have seen MANY riots myself as I was living in Moradabad and Meerut in mid early and mid 90s. I have seen how people behave, I have seen a guy tell us that he kills at least 1 muslim a day during riots else he doesnt eat. Since religion doesnt make sense to me and plus my experience with extremists, I at some level have no understanding of religious people. I am not saying I hate them, I just dont understand them so either they see something that I dont or vice versa. Does this define who I am? :hitler:
Then why you worry about tokenism :dontknow:

because its required of people who are not in any religious dal to register their protest for any news like this.
No. It's only for Semi Secualrs.

hirin Dalvi, editor of the Mumbai edition of Urdu daily Avadhnama, who has multiple cases filed against her for reproducing the controversial cover of the French magazine Charlie Hebdo on January 17, is living like a fugitive. While her house in Mumbra is locked and her two college-going children (son and daughter) are living with relatives, she has sought refuge at friends' places in the city and the suburbs.
