Secularism
Secularism becomes a debatable issue in Bangladeshi politics if we go by former mayor Hanif's comment. It is not clear to all that secularism has many facets like philosophical, social, political and of ethical. When a politician talks of secularism in the political sense, we understand that it's a socio-political practice, apart from any religious belief. Here, a politician must give a sugarcoated lecture to impress mass people, not harming their religious dogma. Mr. Hanif did it well. Secularism, the brand of which we are propagating, is not acceptable to the masses as it tends to "de-religionise" everything. Mass people apprehend that secularism means going against the religion, specially Islam. So it is not acceptable in Bangladeshi socio-economic perspective.
If we want to tell about secularism in the political field, it's nothing but abstaining from religious practice in political decision making. It should be understandable to all.
