#DemocracyWall Speaking at ThePrint's Democracy Wall, political commentator Meghnad said the best lesson for India on secularism may be in a class eight textbook, making students the best to speak up about what it really is. He spoke about how India had laws that force lawmakers to go against their conscience, the most important being the anti-defection law. He adds that most adults don’t understand secularism the way in which children are taught to. Indian class 8 students understand secularism best. Democracy Wall is a monthly free speech campus initiative organised by ThePrint in collaboration with Facebook. The second edition of the event at Jain University in Bengaluru featured Qureshi, Congress leader Sachin Pilot, rapper Sofia Ashraf, IPS officer D.Roopa, lawyer Manasa Venkatraman, political commentator Meghnad, and comedian Aravind S.A.
