Pallavi - To get a finely honed historical perspective on this subject, all should tune into Romila Thapar's C.D Deshmukh Memorial lecture delivered in the IIC Delhi on 15 January.

My dear Pallavi your article is a master class analysis of India´s social fibre; congratulations.!

And reaffirms my admiration for those Midnight Children whose constitution and liberal attitudes are an example to all other nations. As you say;

The Republic of India’s metaphysics blended civilizational acceptance of pluralism and absence of an insistence on singular truths, gods and loyalties, with a liberal constitution that treated the population as free and equal citizens governed by an abstract, secular law.

An achiuevement unequalled by no other nation on earth. ¡God bless India!

Thought-provoking piece on a volatile subject in contemporary India! But due credit to the writer for making it bi-partisan. Or am I missing something..:).
