Again a very relevant topic handled intelligently with maturity. My take…
Indian politics.The Hindutva or rather “anti-Hindutva” and” secular” are no more relevant in Indian politics. The refrain is if political parties can be parochial (TMC, SS, DMK, TRS etc..), religion based (Muslim leagues, Akali etc..), Clan based (Yadavs, Gujjars etc.) and Dalit based (BSP etc.) or Dynastic (INC,SS, Yadavs, DMK, TC etc..) why can’t there be a party which is “Hindu” based? (I have my own take on this “Hindu” myth). What is the difference in any of these approaches? In electoral democracies every political party will attempt to create a strong faithful voter base. Probably BJP is doing just that. (BTW “Hindus” in droves are not blindly flocking to BJP ). THAT is a natural process in democracy. The perception of exclusion is just because the majority are not minority!!! That is also natural. In such an environment it is difficult to separate the wrong from the right in Indian politics – like it or not. And is that not part of diversity too? Can you have diversity with the exclusion of the majority?
Tailpiece: There never was, is or will be a Utopia (Ramrajya).The electorate has realized that Governance is all about the Nation to deliver Roti, Kapda and Makkan to its people. All else are distractions. Economy and development (Ease of living) will be key. In order to further preserve Indian democracy, the opposition parties have to change tactics and strategies. We fervently hope that they will do it. Welcome to the changing face of Indian politics.
