The tiresome labelling of political persons as secular and communal, and by association anyone who supports them as one of the two has been demolished. Proof of this is not just Ram Vilas Paswan’s re-entry into the NDA fold but the influx of Congress and other so-called secular leaders into the BJP. Elections and a place in parliament or government are all that really matter to politicians. They are prepared to shed their photo ops with trishuls, or wearing skullcaps at iftars at the drop of a hat for the sake of survival. Eventually, the secular/communal debate has been shown up for what it is – just plain politics that has nothing to do with religion or the welfare of Muslims. Muslims themselves, apart from those under the influence of hard liners, have been seriously considering Modi’s acceptability. Sabir Ali of the JD(U) is the most recent case in point. Perhaps in the future the fake and divisive debate of what makes a person genuinely secular will be defined by the people of India (not religious or caste groups) and not by self-appointed certificate-givers.
