The Nut aka Kuldip Nayar strikes again! I’m in no mood to take his “article” apart (again) simply because he chants the Pseudo Secularism mantra as usual as if chanting it would enable him to attain some lofty height of infamy fame.

He seems to have a Standard Recipe to write his secularist pieces:

• Take some book/article/speech that espouses the cause of Hinduism or says something favourable about Hinduism or Hindus
• Mash it with a generous dose of Pseudo Secularist diatribe found in one of the following jars:
1. Communist Writings on Hinduism
2. Islamic views on Hinduism
3. Islamic view of Hindu society
4. Communist view of Hindu/Indian society
• NB: If all these jars are empty, invent a new diatribe for later use. Note that you’ll also be doing great service to your other/younger followers.
• To this mixture, add repeated assertions that India is not about Hinduism
• Stir this mixture vigorously using Nehru Masala available at the Discovery of India Stores or any of its branches all over the world.
• Empty this mixture into the Grinder of Outlook/Indian Express/Hindu/Hindustan Times
• Turn on the switch of Lies. Gradually increase the intensity of grinding by turning the knob clockwise as indicated by the following numbers and what they signify respectively:
1. Secularism in India has existed because of Islam: 5 sentences
2. Hindus are guilty for the bloodbath at the time of partition: 3-6 sentences
3. Jinnah was a true secularist in demanding Pakistan: 1-2 sentences
4. We have inherited a closed culture (Hinduism): 1-2 sentences
• Switch off the grinder.
• Serve it hot! You may also add the following toppings to embellish the dish:
1. Doses (larger the better) of more lies: the BJP existed in the pre-independence days.
2. Brand people who support Hinduism as communal (adds spice)
3. Say that Indian culture owes nothing to Hinduism.

There you have!
