परिचय: हाल के दिनों में, भारत में कुछ दलों द्वारा इस धारणा का प्रचार करके जनता को भ्रमित करने का ठोस प्रयास किया गया है कि प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने अल्पसंख्यकों के लिए तुष्टीकरण की नीतियां शुरू की हैं। हालांकि, यह पहचानना आवश्यक है कि सच्चे सनातनी हिंदू किसी भी विश्वास या धर्म के खिलाफ भेदभाव नहीं करते हैं। हिंदू धर्म, सबसे धर्मनिरपेक्ष धर्म, "एकम सत बिप्राहा बहुदा बदंती" की अवधारणा को सिखाता है, जिसमें जोर दिया गया है कि एक ईश्वर है और प्रबुद्ध लोग उसे अलग-अलग नामों से पुकारते हैं।...
