"If there were only one religion in England, there would be danger of tyranny; if there were two, they would cut each other’s throats; but there are thirty, and they live happily together in peace."

- Voltaire, Letter VI. On the Presbyterian, from The Philosophical Letters by Voltaire.

If only Voltaire's tall claims could be extra-polated to the Indian scenario and make religion irrelevant for the market can India ever see secularity as defined in global parlance and not resign itself to a circumstantial approximation.
