As a secular Indian, I highly doubt that majority, or even plurality of Indians are secular. If anything, I've seen most of my friends go from being secular to conservative moderates/hardliners in last few years. I know quite a few people who would support Muslim genocides, including my family.

Agree with you, majority are going from secular to conservative. May be the secular party should ask why.

But also want to add that Indian version conservatives aren’t really comparable to the western one. Just take this issue on evolution itself Hindus and Buddhists are among the most who believe in evolution.
