Dear Ahsan
and Rashid Mughal....Thank you for your
insightful and enlightening comments. I thoroughly enjoyed them. As far as
education is concerned (not memorizing books and regurgitating in the exam)
I believe that education is genuine and progressive and enlightening that
produces
critical mind of a
scientist
creative heart of a poet
and a
compassionate heart of a
mystic
for me that is Secular....and a secular person can
be a man or a woman, black or white, gay or straight, Pakistani or
Canadian.
A Secular Person cannot
blindly follow the religious traditions without experiencing the TRUTH
himself or herself and cannot impose his/her TRUTH on others legally or
politically.
That is my humble
opinion. Thank you for joining the dialogue. all
the best. sincerely sohail
