In USA, secularists are considered as those people who have no
particular religious affiliations. Secularists are considered as
people who are indifferent of religion, which is same as atheists or
communists. Hindus are born with religious identity and affiliation.
They are identified by their names. I have seen communists, who
denounce their own religion, but not others; they are eager to
promote other religions just to prove his non-communal identity.
These are hypocrites.
What we mean by secularism in the Indo-Bangladesh region is
different. In there, secularists are those people who have tolerance
for other religions. In that context, secularists are not the same
as communists, because they have their own religious identity. I was
talking in the context of USA. That is why I have combined them.
Similarly, Liberal/Progressive meaning in USA is different from what
it means in Indo-Bangladesh context. In my previous reply, I have
given a test for a liberal/progressive. According to that test
criterion, I believe most of us are not liberals. Therefore, those
comments may not be valid in the context of Indo-Bangladesh.
I do not have time now; it's almost 12 midnight. More will be
discussed later. Good night.
Thank you.
