These are very serious points, which were earlier seen as just anti incumbency social media cries. Those days are gone by. Like Mr. Prabakar said, India as we know is dying a slow death. A crucial challenge we now have, perhaps, is how are these thoughts going to be conveyed to the not so informed electorate of our country.

Mr Parakala Prabhakar articulates systematically and clearly what you and me are thinking about the future of our beloved country with fear and trembling: slow and planned destruction of every ideal we hold dear, namely, secularism, fraternity and harmony among people of all religions and ideologies, democratic values, institutions that safeguard human rights and all what our Constitution stands for. Congratulations Sir!

[@ananthan8951]

Secularism thrived as a ten percent ultra pacific minority were dispossessed and violently banished from Kashmir. When first the Marxists and now TMC employs jihadi violence to stay in power. When the Kerala LlA Speaker tells thousands of students that Ganapathy and other Hindu gods are myths: The same person extolled his own Islamic faith to high heaven at other fora. When Hindu religious processions are routinely attacked by the peaceful group and Hindus are invariably blamed for the ensuing violence. When pastors in Tamil Nadu openly exhort people to attack Brahmins and everyone laughs it off.
