Secularism in India means equal treatment of all religions by the government. With the 42nd Amendment of the Constitution of India enacted in 1976, the Preamble to the Constitution asserted that India is a secular nation. But, for this senior politician of India secularism is lack of pedigree!

Hardcore Hindutva leader and Union Minister for Skill Development has said that people without any pedigree were identifying themselves as secularists.

"If a person identifies himself as a Muslim, Christian, Brahmin, Hindu, it means that he knows what his blood is. But, I don't know how to identify these secularists. Those who do not have any pedigree, designate themselves as secularists," he ridiculed.

The minister, who represented Uttara Kannada lok sabha constituency was speaking after launching the website and women's wing of Brahmana Yuva Parishat in Kukanur of Yalburga taluk on Sunday.

"I presume there are no secularisits here. Identify yourself with our caste or creed. You know what your blood is," the minister said.

He has been selected to create communal tension before elections and polarise Hindu votes. He has no values other than being a street fighter and a trouble creator. A Frankistein created by BJP's top Delhi bosses. Talks about pedigree. The Aryan pedigree of Northeners are upto subjugate South Indians and Hegde follows the orders of his masters
