The Western lenses often get distorted visions of the desi visuals. Sporting such spectacles, one sees things from the bifocal of religious and earthly. Desis have things which cannot be captured with this binary. India always had a secularised faith. Worshipping the incarnation of the omnipresent in human forms and roles is itself the secularisation of faith as Indians have always been aware of the infiniteness and incomprehensibility of the Supreme Being. Dharma implies myriad things in their desirable forms and among them one induces the public functionaries to be moralistic and just. One can be Dharmik even without being a believer.
In the Indic traditions, we have an integrated perspective of life where reason and beliefs do not exist in separation or opposition. If we see them separated, we find them only indistinguishably blended in Dharma. If there is anything incongruent or unpleasant in prevalent ideas and practices, Dharma does not stop one from doing away with the unsavoury. The Dharma Dhwaja diffusion over the whole land and beyond augers well not only for all human beings but for all beings and things.
