Being a secular country why should majority of the India's armories, army bases, Weaponry and warships have Hindu names. All of these just do not represent one set of people but the whole of India. Right from Trishul, then Bishma and the latest Arjun, the names always harks back to Hindu ideology. Even Air India aircrafts are not an exception. One can not escape by saying that these are just Sanskrit names. If the question is, what is there in a name? I ask the same, why just Hindu names? India should not be a secularist in its constitution, it should also be practiced. Secularism should not be used as a cosmetic but as a composite element in our country. It reminds me about the Supreme Court’s dictate that “Justice should not just be done but appear to be done”. It holds good for secularism too.
