Sasi Tharoor.. you are absolutely right!
Indian society should start shedding its religious garb and emerge out as a scientific decent civilised society without the aid of religions and superstitions. People should be able to live here without following any religion and yet get a fair space equitable to that enjoyed by those followers of religions and caste..
The domination of religion and the belief that without religion people can’t live a moral civilised life is absolutely false.
