......................................... Personal freedom is very often associated with secularism, which, as received from the Western canon, is the separation of church from state. Sometimes secularism is also seen as a negation of religion completely. Indeed, many religious leaders taught that secular people do not believe in gods. But in my view, even if you are a temple-going Hindu or a devout Muslim, you can still be secular.

What can we do to change this? We need not look to foreign shores or to long-forgotten pasts.

One particular freedom that has come under fire is the freedom of practising one’s own religion.

Unfortunately, those of us who value religious freedom have been disillusioned by multiple governments once too often.

In contrast, an exhibition of true “secularism” would be open-ended, either agnostic or, at the other extreme, in a country like India where faith is so central, multi-religious.
