Shourie in his attempt to reconstruct a united, Hindu India fails to respect the will of communities who want to be part of the nation, but not confined to its hierarchical
Hindu idea of a community under the principle of the varnasramadharma.

idea of secularism arises form religious fundamentalism which is afraid

of purity and impurity in social laws; the threat also comes from communalism which seeks political power for one's religious
community or in the case
of Hindutva wants to establish a
Hindu state.
