Uh uh... most of this is untrue.

The "Indian Secularism" is mostly what was leftover from the colonial era mixed with Traditional Hindu values.

However, the Govt tries to "correct" or "change" the Native traditions periodically.

Obviously our colonial history has had a huge impact on our psyche, and influenced our democracy. As for "traditonal hindu values" or "native traditions", these are clever bogus arguments used by the current right-wing to do away with the indian secularism envisioned and enshrined in our constitution.

absolutely. "Indian secularism" is the exact opposite of secularism. It's just discrimination on the basis of religious identity.
