Secular India

President of India: A.P.J.Abdul.Kalam is a Muslim
Prime Minister of India: Manmohan Singh is a Sikh
Chief Justice of Supreme Court: B.A.Khan a Muslim from Kashmir
Majority religion: Hindu (almost 75%)

You decide if you ever want to hear an argument that India is a not a secular country. These individuals have achieved the highest positions in the government not because their religious affiliations but who they are - extremely competent people.

There is lot of discussion in the US media about appointment of justices to the supreme court. I don't know much about Judge Roberts whom President Bush appointed as his nominee. But a lot of people believe that he is very conservative and will pursue a right wing agenda. I hope an "advance" nation like United States learns something from India on what it means to be secular.
