He must have realized that his "market" lies in being tagged a "secularist" and that requires bad mouthing anything connected to hinduism, RSS, BJP, Modi.

If Modi joins Congress tomorrow and become a White-skin worshipper, he will be INSTANTLY accepted as a born again secularist.

The reverse has happened. The article of MJ Akbar is from 2002. That was when he was secular. Akbar has now decided to join the bandwagon of Narendra Modi who he was bashing and thrashing in his 2002 article.

Are you kidding? India is less secular and a lot more theocratic state already with numerous (at least 4 or 5) officially (Govt.) sanctioned religious / communalistic legal systems for different communities.

Agreed, but despite its shortcomings the Indian state is still better than Iran or Pakistan which is what India will become if the religious fundamentalists in India have their way.
