It has almost been 2 years since Narendra Modi refused to wear the skull cap which was offered in a Sadhbhavana fast. Even today it has been quoted as a sign that he is not secular because he refused to wear the skull cap.
Shivraj Singh Chauhan another BJP CM, who is consciously positioning himself as an alternative PM candidate without saying so explicitly, wore a skull cap last week. There were quotes from people asking Modi to learn from Shivraj Chauhan. Does Shivraj Singh Chauhan become secular because he wore a skull cap?
I strongly oppose Modi's views on many things but is wearing the skull cap or not the only criteria to identify whether someone is secular or not?
There are religions which propose nirvana, should people attain nirvana to prove that they are secular?
Summary
Every religion should co-exist and I don't think someone has to do what others do to show that he/she is secular.
Secularism means that I don't discriminate anyone based on caste/religion and definitely not that I do what other religion does.
