Secular Government ....ya rite!

This is with reference to the article that was published on 7th or 8th Nov 2005, Bangalore edition, Times of India, front page below, that speaks of Natwar Singh calling for a well-known astrologer (from Bangalore to Delhi) to consult during his trial times. The article also says that Karnataka's CM Daram Singh is also one of the biggies on the astorloger "Rjaguru's" list of clients. I think this whole thing is so god-damn ridiculous. The GoI says we're a secular nation and has a constitution that's build on the whole idea of secularism (secular here means tolerance of pluralism and not aganist a particular religion, caste, etc.) If one wants to see the nation grow and develop ecomically, literacy wise, rise in std of living, etc. how is it possible when the leaders of our nation themselves are supersticious and irrational in nature and behaviour? How can the country progress? The man follows what his master has taught him. So also the citizens of a country will follow what its leaders do. They're supposed to set expample here and look at the sstupid stuff they're upto. To top it up Natwar Singh was an IAS officer himself....talk about lack of education!!God save the Queen....God save India !!!
