Calling India "secular" in the Constitution is like calling water wet. Even before 1976, our Constitution was already secular in substance. Article 14: Equality before law Article 25 to 28: Freedom of religion Article 29 and 30: Protection of minority rights And no state religion The word "Secular" is a Western import born of Europe's church-state conflicts. Does not capture India’s historical approach to religious pluralism which is better described by concepts like Sarva Dharma Sambhava or equal respect for all faiths. Long before modern secularism, India spoke of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. It is inclusive by design. Has nurtured multiple worldviews and philosophical traditions while affirming the dignity of every path Adding "secular" to the Preamble was, philosophically, a tautology. It is resorting to something lesser than what one has always been and stood for! It obscures rather than clarifies India’s own philosophical understanding of pluralism!! Shall explain elaborately in an article!

Why knowing Sanskrit is cool? Because through it you discover, apart from many other things, that what we have been attributing to Pythagoras all along existed in Bodhayana’s Sulba Sutras centuries before Pythagoras. दीर्घचतुरस्रस्याक्ष्णया रज्जुः पार्श्वमानी तिर्यग् मानी च यत् पृथग् भूते कुरूतस्तदुभयं करोति ॥ Sulba Sutra (appendix to the Vedas), Chapter 1, Shloka 12, Bodhayana Translation: the area (of the squares) produced separately by the length and breadth of a rectangle together equal the area (of the square) produced by the diagonal A child who grows up believing every great idea came from somewhere else learns to imitate. But a nation that knows it has created before finds the confidence to create again! And confidence is the birthplace of innovation and entrepreneurship! And that is cool!!

If anyone has shown what it means for India to be a Vishwaguru, it is our Gen Z. They have lived Sanatan Dharma, not preached it. Courage without hate. Strength without violence. Patriotism without blind obedience. Unlike many of their counterparts across the world, they have shown that you can stand firmly against injustice without burning your own country down. Maybe it's time the Hindu nationalist party learnt a thing or two from these young Indians about Hinduism, nationalism, and what it truly means to be a Vishwaguru. @narendramodi @Wangchuk66 @CJP_for_India
