Can Indian secularism survive?

Can Indian secularism survive?


It is 10 years since the day when Hindu hardliners tore down the Babri Masjid in the northern Indian town of Ayodhya.
The event triggered some of the worst communal violence in India's history.

It also provoked deep soul searching about the country's secular traditions and the threats it might be facing from the forces of communalism.

The religious violence that erupted earlier this year in the state of Gujarat appeared to confirm those fears.

But 10 years on, is India more polarised along religious lines then before? Or is secularism and tolerance still alive and well?

Tell us what you think has changed for better or worse since the destruction of the mosque in Ayodhya in 1992.
