Fundamentalism in India is one among many
emerging predicaments. People despite their well off education and scholarly
outlook promote religion-based nationalism, thus divide citizens of the country
solely based on their religious identities. At the same time there are a few
bunch of people who truly fight for the making of pure secular India. India, a
muti-religious country poses all possibility for people to confuse religion
with culture. For many culture is an intrinsic element of religion/faith.
However, in a closer analysis given by Indian Philosopher Dr. Domenic
Marbaniang these two differ starkly;
