Secularism


In principle I agree, with reservation, with the comment of the Indian High Commissioner, Pinak Ranjan Chakravarty, that Bangladesh lacks real practice of secularism. When you compare secularism, we need a standard. Referring India as role model and standard for religious secularism is simply unacceptable.

There are several countries with fine track record in religious harmony that would warrant such a comment, but ironically India is not one of them.
