There is no comparison with those which had erupted in the arab lands recently. Those were more like islamists demanding their own kind of governance.<br /><br />India will remain a secular state as long as Hindus are in majority because by nature Hinduism respect all other religions.TPHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956940336422524997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5395114341635472687.post-86386703890358827962011-08-23T02:14:25.484+05:302011-08-23T02:14:25.484+05:30Like I said, this may be the real thing.

If it indeed is, then it is good for India.<br /><br />One sees the kids in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria and Yemen - winning in 3 of the above and soon to win in the remaining 2 - but I just fear that another theocracy like in Iran might be the outcome. Would it be just a leap from the frying pan to the fire?
