No, I mean a state that does not establish any religion, does not hinder the peaceful expression of religion, and does not favor citizens of one religion over another.

Well, India fits the bill here except for the last part...since it has favored Muslims since partition. What we are seeing in India today is part of "Nehru's legacy."

This is the second article to be posted in the last 24 hours bashing India's supposed extremism and mistreatment of minorities. Well, it's a steaming load of dung.

If the press wants true mistreatment of minorities or a threat of extremism to write about, they have no further to look than "Azad" Kashmir, or Pakistan itself. Why will the media not look at the truth?

Right now, yes. The problem is that there are elements withing the BJP that don't want it to fit that bill. My only point is that we should be aware of them and not ignore them.
