The matter merits more than what Rushdie has discussed, though. - SelvaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-1121052748408630292005-07-11T09:02:00.000+05:302005-07-11T09:02:00.000+05:30As for India, at the risk of being called a commun...<I><B>As for India, at the risk of being called a communalist, I must agree that any country that claims to be a modern, secular democracy must secularize and unify its legal system, and take power over women's lives away, once and for all, from medievalist institutions like Darul-Uloom.</B></I><BR/><BR/>Welcome to the real world Salman Bhaiyya.<BR/><BR/>This is a multifecta, Rushdie is getting too many things right. His secular credentials are impeccable - he has angered the entire mullah establishment (and how) he annoyed Bal Thackeray greatly and has called him all sorts of names, he has poked fun at Nehru, and has been pooh-pooing religion (with barbs directed at all faiths in good measure. He has demanded secular law for Imrana's father-in-law; and does not waffle about the Muslim Personal Law and the odious bodies that prop it up. And finally he has - sorry, cliche! - called a spade a spade. How can a land calling itself secular countenance parallel and religiously motivated lawmaking bodies?<BR/><BR/>If the secular worthies of India have any sense of shame still left they shd shrivel with embarassment and stop parrotting "secular".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-1121052198970165672005-07-11T08:53:00.000+05:302005-07-11T08:53:00.000+05:30The supremely secular Mulaym singh yadav got it ri...The supremely secular Mulaym singh yadav got it right "The decision of the Muslim religious leaders in the Imrana case must have been taken after a lot of thought" .
