The role of Skull cap in secularism

One's readiness to don the so called skull cap during Islamic religious functions is a pre-requisite to be considered secular, if the mainstream press is to be believed. And if a man like Modi with a mind of his own refuses to submit to this skull-cap rule, what the heck? DId not we always know that he is a Hindu fanatic hiding under the purdah of a nationalist Indian. Would the same press want Sonia to attend Iftars donning a Naqab to prove her religious inclusiveness? Evidently the dress code test of fit and proper secularism is applied only if you are named Modi. There is an interesting parallel to this which is worth mentioning. Muslim politicians and leaders in Kerala have consistently refused to light the ceremonial lamp during public functions stating that such an act is against their faith. More justifiably, they also refuse to wear Tilak on their foreheads when the same is offered as part of public ceremonies, but no body finds these as signs of religious fanatisism. I dont know if Modi is vegetarian or not, but if he is then there is more trouble to follow. His refusal to feast on the Mutton Biriyani offered during Iftars will be held against him as yet another proof of his anti muslim mindset. Oh God, we will suffer our politicians somehow, but please save us from these journalists..
