Fundamentalism is a reactionary emotional ideology that develops within cultures experiencing social, economic and political crises. Fundamentalists want to establish a repressive religious theocratic state, a backward society and an exploitative economic system. They want to impose a parochial educational system and an ancient social system on every individual. Fundamentalists insist upon the absolute, infallible and rigid authority of their respective texts. This doctrinal rigidity gives impetus to religious and ethnic wars, terrorism, communal violence, sectarianism, factionalism, discrimination and lawlessness.
Secularism is the only solution to the problems of fundamentalism.
However, secularism must be implemented sincerely and properly by the secular democratic state. Ironically, the Indian state or successive Indian governments never sincerely and properly implemented secularism to grant religious liberty to all the minorities in India. That's why millions of citizens of India are now struggling to break India into several small countries. No minority is safe in India. Fanaticism has taken hold of the Indian imagination.
