| | For long ‘secular’ vs ‘communal’ and ‘national’ vs ‘communal’
have been used in our nation’s official history. To contextualise
these terms might mean to dispassionately understand the
politics of labels, stereotyping and castigation that shapes our
narratives of nationalism. Sadly, narratives of nationalisms,
inclusive or exclusivist, have permeated people’s cultural and
political consciousness at the expense of tolerance, dignity
and equality in everyday lives.
