Secular India

The Supreme Court of India cleared the Haj pilgrimage subsidy for 2006, while questioning the central government "Tell us whether any such subsidy is given to any other yatra. You can make arrangements like running special trains for the Kumbh Mela, provision for law and order, hygiene and other facilities, but can you grant financial subsidy?"

I find it very interesting how a "secular" government can get entangled in attending to various patently religious activities. As in, if those particular religious practices had not existed, the government would never have incurred the expenses therein.

I guess the answer lies in the fact that "secular" in India's context does not mean a divorce between religion and state.
