I'm not a big fan of Hinduism, but "forcible secularization" has never led anywhere good, unless you're using a nonstandard definition of "forcible." Edit: OwlBot 2000 posted:I'm picturing Stalinism minus Stalin, and also with food. You're confirming my initial impression here.

OwlBot 2000 posted:Here's what I mean: strong separation of 'church' and state, abolition of laws that enforce religious practices, no religion taught in schools or religious schools, and.. that's about it. At least in Europe, doing that plus raising standards of living makes fundamentalism decline greatly. I'm pretty sure India already has most of those things. It's raising standards of living that's the hard part.
