The book exposes the political fraud all the political parties in India resort to in the name of secularism. All political parties try to appease Muslims for their votes. But, they claim themselves as secular. They try to borrow their secular credentials by supporting Muslims which is an anathema. On the other these political parties try to brand BJP as communal and fundamentalist because it does not indulge in appeasement of Muslims and calls for equality of religions. How this constitutes secularism-is the main theme of the research and as an author I tried to relate this how media exploited this paradox to boost its own circulation in India both before and after Ramajanma bhoomi-Babri Masjid controversy. Is pro-muslim attitude a test for secular character of a political party? Is that all which determines which party is secular in India? These are the basic questions the work veered round in this research.
