Lessons in (pseudo)secularism:

Secularism 201

There is something terribly amiss about a social order that coerces a
law-abiding 91-year-old artist, India's most celebrated painter, into
leaving the country because of harassment by rank communalists and
moral vigilantes. Surprisingly, instead of upholding the fundamental
right to freedom of expression, some lower courts have been
extraordinarily tolerant in entertaining the vexatious complaints.
