I disagree. There is nothing wrong about doing “Bhoomi Pooja” in a country 83% Hindu. It reflects the dominant culture of India and does not threaten anyone. It is this kind of strict textbook definitions of secularism which creates a Hindu backlash against liberals.
In a secular multi-faith democracy a PM should lay the foundation stone of a new parliament building, NOT do a “Bhoomi Pooja”
And no, I am not anti-Hindu to point this out, merely pro- constitution

Both facts are true. 1. Most Muslim kings in India were brutal in particular towards Hindus( which some liberals and some Muslims wrongly deny). 2. Today’s Indian Muslims cannot be held responsible for that( Some right wing Hindu groups want to take revenge on current Muslims).
