Apart from the Nehru clan, apart from the self-seeking politicians from some political parties and a few film stars from Bolywood, no one else in India is interested in talking about the fraudulent concept of the so called 'Composite Culture'. The purpose of promoting the concept of 'composite culture' in India is simple, it is that all the dumb Hindus of India in majority should accept Islamic and to some extent Christian culture also as part of our own culture and yet the others are under no obligation to treat Hindu culture as part of their culture. It is the duty of the Hindu majority to view Muslim culture and Christian culture as part of their culture. The minorities have the inalienable right to dismiss all aspects of majority Hindu culture as communal, non-secular and saffronized!! And all the official agencies of the government in India will go out of their way to uphold this cultural right of the minority groups. In other words, Swami Dayanand Saraswati, Sri Ramakrishna Parahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, Sri Ramana Maharishi and such others are non-secular, communal and saffronized. All the Mullahs and Imams, all the Bishops and the Archbishops are secular, non-communal and non-saffronized, ever green or ever white as the case may be. The ground level reality, however, is just the reverse. Even after a thousand years of so-called now hot-war, now cold-war co-existence, Hindu and Islamic cultures have not only remained parallel cultures but have also come in conflict on every conceivable point century after century after 1000 AD.
