Day 19-WEC- What kind of secularism is India following currently?

Three women from Tamil Nadu were arrested by the Kerala police late Monday evening for attempting to enter the Vavar mosque near Sabarimala.

They have been charged under section 153 A of the IPC (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc.) and will be presented before the magistrate after the police record their arrest.

This is going to lead to trouble. This inequality is what will lead to riots.   This and many more such instances makes me question the sanity of our law makers , and yes I am a law graduate and I think a lot about the legal system in India, which needs a complete revival. I could never understand why a country which fought for it's independence and lost their people in that struggle had to blindly lift the old colonial systems and copy paste them on the new nation? If they could come up with Constitution, why couldn't they take the time to re-write , consider, study other systems and make their own? It's as if we got independence , we hurriedly did some painting job on the outside with the Constitution and there it was !!! A brand new nation!

Incorrect.

We did not build a brand new nation. We only carried out an exercise which was a transfer of  power from the colonialists to the Indian Elite who were educated at that time, and currently we follow some pre historic 3rd hand brand  of Democracy which is neither impressive nor practical nor useful. It's just a sham, a shell with a hollow core.
