OT: First Sikh premiership for India's secular government |
First Sikh premiership for India's secular government

The party that promised India strong secular government is to give the
country its first Sikh prime minister. Former finance minister Dr
Manmohan Singh yesterday accepted an invitation from the country's
president to lead a government, one week after the Congress Party and
its allies won a surprising national election victory.
After defeating the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),
the Congress Party leader Sonia Gandhi was expected to become Prime
Minister. But on Tuesday she stunned her party and the world by saying
that she did not want the post. That left the party scrambling to find
a replacement, while Ms Gandhi's supporters held demonstrations
calling on her to reconsider.

The party that promised India strong secular government is to give the
country its first Sikh prime minister.
But is this not Britain, having a Prime Minister Called Disraili (a Jew)?
Is this not the USA having a President Called JF Kenady (a Cat lik)?
Deeply Athiest as I am.
Religion is not what puts food in the tummies of Infants.
Caring old Politicians do that (and Caring is not the preserve of any
religion/philosophy.)
