“I wonder, what motivates the pseudo-secularists? “
=>

1. Shame at the “evils” of Hinduism (caste system, idol worship) – which of course, stems from their own ignorance of Hinduism, or by looking at Hinduism through a western prism.

2. Coconut-like behavior – trying to appear more “liberal” than their liberal friends in the west where they live, by becoming anti-religion (but never anti-Islam).

3. Brought up in an environment where they actually indulged in blind faith as a kid, and then rebelling against their childhood “stupidity” after having certain epiphanies as adults, by pouring their vitriol on everything related to Hinduism.

4. Scant knowledge of other faiths (Abrahamic) and believing that all religions are the same (equally bad).

5. Equating RSS/Bajrang Dal et al with Hinduism.

6. Reading Dawkins et al and blindly superimposing those ideas on to India/Hinduism without any meaningful analysis and without checking the validity of those ideas.

7. Swallowing what media feed them without any critical analysis.

I wonder, what motivates the pseudo-secularists? There is absolutely no element of gain for the society in their efforts. Their activities can simply be called in one word as “ABSURD”. while they are whining about how Sanskrit is communal, I read this secular post some time back. very beautifully presented :

Why should my child learn Sanskrit?
