Description
India, that is, Bharat is common knowledge but India, that is, Sidd is not so common. Knowledge itself is becoming more common only in post-independent India. When India is getting ready to enter into the twenty-fist century, its economy is sought to be globalised.
But its politics is getting regionalized and its religion is getting politicized. That is what prompted Nehruji to commend to the nation the message of Vinobaji that politics and religion be replaced by Science and Spirituality.
Rational analysis and emotional integration are closely interlinked and one without the other cannot last long. The reader is invited to assess how close the link is and how far an under-standing of Agamic India helps to clear the confusion shrouding the concept of secularism and reawaken India to reassert its real spirit.
