Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate LK Advani on Friday said only Hindu religion allows secularism and pluralism, making India a successful democracy. "For the success of democracy, there should be tolerance for the other point of view. Intolerance is most visible in religious matters. Hindu polity never accepts theocracy, making us a successful democratic nation," Advani told a gathering during a book launch function organised by India First Foundation. He gave examples of theocratic nations to prove that it is only India that could support democracy. "Generals and others take over nations after independence in theocratic nations. Look at Bangladesh, we gave them a secular nation but they could not sustain that for long," Advani pointed out. Commenting on one of the three books released at the function, 'Fateful Fourth Generation' - a compilation of dynasties of the world that fell during their fourth generation, Advani laughed and said, "I will not comment on this for it might create a controversy, but going by the examples it seems that all the troubles begin at the fourth generation." He said the present United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government is "intentionally inactive" against terrorism. "We keep on deceiving ourselves for the sake of vote bank politics. Why can't we see the obvious and take action against it. Is it our policy or habit now to keep deceiving ourselves?" he asked. Advani has been on the offensive against the government as the general elections approach next year and many states go to the polls in the next one or two months.

Hinduism is not a religion - its a name given to the culture that exists this part of Indus. Its a tolerant culture unline some proponents like Bajrang Dal suggest. Tolerance is what makes india a successful democracy. I just hope extremists groups like Bajrang dal and SIMI dont ruin this place.

Well said, nameless wanderer.

Its a culture rather than a religion and with high degree of tolerance.

The old man is still eyeing the PM chair- ask him to take a break and revitalize.

What Advani said is absolutely true. Pluralism and tolerance towards other religions is embedded in Hinduism. The semantic religions such as Islam and Christianity should exploit that tolerance.

i think Advani is still trying the same old tactics and is trying to divide the country as per the castes and communities...

someone pls tell him that o run a country successfully we dont need any religious ideologies but some logic and efforts by the so called handlers of the system.....

denny dear,

we dont need any religion, but the pigs need it.

OF course, both Congress and advani divides the people in the name of religion.

The congress took the lead from British for the divide and rule and the other parties now uses it.
