Secular state

 Lately i just see important leaders getting news coverage for visiting temple, posing with lota and folded hands. When it started sometime back, it was good to see them. There was a felling of secular state that, we can showcase everything we do and feel. We need not be afraid to practice our faith. But, when this became a broken record every other week. It really didnot go down well with public.While people what changes at ground level, we have enterprise level national projects running. And as well know enterprises takes years to work.By then, things move on, people change.
  This could be the reason why the elected party is now losing all over the place. They have forgotten the instant gratification, which people expected from them. They become too long term and futuristic. While we do need a bullet train, its the poverty and farmer issues which people really need help on. They don't care if they travel by ox cart or bullet train when they are hungry.They only care about hunger and instant food. I hope the next 6 months are enough for them to redeem themselves. I am not supporting anyone at this point as opposition too is mired in caste-ism and family politics.
     I just hope that we reach a level of secular state where secularism is not about religion alone, but also is about how we run and showcase our personal lives to public. Our leaders need to stop showcasing and really start working on ground level.
