Kapil I don't think that the comparison with Gujarati co-ops is an aplpes to aplpes comparison. When you buy a piece of land it becomes your private property and as long as you are not indulging in certain anti-state activities, I think you should be allowed to do what you want to (though what those Gujarati societies are supposedly doing would be illegal in the US under Fair Housing Act).I strongly believe that when you are dealing in the public sphere, as these cabbies undoubtedly are, you have to stop wearing your faith on your sleeve because once you start going down this path there is no telling where you will end up as a country, probably like India where in the name of secularism, every religion essentially follows its own constitution. What if the cabbies start demanding that they would carry only Muslims in their cab? Would that be allowed by a liberal society too? I agree that a truly liberal society would allow its citizens to be fundamentalists and it is a very good motto to follow, but it needs to stop before the point of self-annihilation, before the fundamentalists end up changing the very fabric of the liberal society.Sameer The question is not of finding another cab, it is about a principle and not convenience. At what point would you start finding it troublesome? 50%? 75%? By that time it would be too late my friend. Commentaire déposé le 14.04.2013 à 16:30 par JNdjEQQyJZx
