Tragedy at Sabarimala: An example of sick secularism in India.

Sabarimala temple is one of the famous and well visited Hindu (pilgrim) temple in southern India. Every year more than 30 million people from the states of AP, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala make pilgrimage to this temple in a span of 45 days. Yesterday, in a tragic incident, which is waiting to happen, more than 100 devotees died. So called English media reported on this tragedy with trivialities like President and PM offering condolences-they have not forgotten to mention Sonia Gandhi, Kerala Govt.- main culprit- announcing Rs 5 Lakhs to families of deceased and some guesses on what caused the stampede.
