SECULAR INDIA - A DILEMMA

"PREAMBLE' CONSTITUTION OF INDIA - " THE PEOPLE OF INDIA having solemnly resolved to constitute Indiato a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR   DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC ........... do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION."

So constitutionally INDIA has no religious resemblance.

FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA:-
RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF RELIGION      
"Every person in India shall have the freedom of conscience and shall have the right to Profess, practice and propagate religion, subject to public order."

So, religious manifestation is one of the fundamental rights to every Indians.

In the eye of the constitution of India, the state does not discriminate the people representatives (MP/MLA) with a common people (Aam Admi).  But before assuming office, they take oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and law of  INDIA (Secular).  At the time they have every right to "Profess, practice and propagate religion'  and perform their own religious rituals according to their belief  if desired as a political personality.,  But it a common phenomena that most of our MP,MLA and ministers (who has takenoath of office in the name of Constitution) visit religious places, seek blessings of religious gurus and attend religious programme.  Are they not violating the constitutional oath? It is a real fix to me.

The dilemma is India is a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR   DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC  but the major people representatives don't bother to exhibit their religious mockery for grabbing votes of different religious community.

To day I received a SMS from a 10 years girl - "Who ar, Hindu or Muslim?  When there is 'Ali' in DiwALI & 'Ram" in RAMzan.  Help INDIA  is being UNITED."
