I time and again use to confess, I hate mythology and the spiritual talks kill me. But does that mean, I am anyway shallower ? Do you conclude with my negligence towards these, that I can't be of any solid notion towards an aspect ? Is it so ? You morons have already built a strong point some where deep inside your cerebrum ,that understanding India means to understand the Hindu mythology and neither can anybody understand the later skipping former.
Another day, when in a comment on Facebook, I wrote: "wreck this congress government and substitute it with 'BJP minus radical Hinduism' ", I got three texts back on my cellphone. One of them asked, "Do you think, After Subtracting, Hinduism from BJP, BJP does exist even? " I couldn't send an instant reply to her. But, I had to think over it and I was able to answer her after a detailed analysis of the BJP and its agenda.
It is indeed obvious, that BJP has its image as a Hindu political party. But let me put up a question, suppose,
I'm leading a political party and will put before you the agenda of just making Hindu community stronger and will also assure a temple at Ayodhya. Another day, other person comes leading another political party, and assures you, economic development, better roads, technological development, uninterrupted power supply and education for all.
At the polling booth, for which party, will you press the EVM ? Atleast not for the former.
But in the recent past, India has seen the Prime minister from that party. Do you think people of India are so feeble that they lack even the simple sense of judgement. Certainly not. And what does that mean, BJP is not only about Hinduism and the Ayodhya temple. And if it would have been, do you think Kishanganj would have voted for BJP in the Bihar assembly elections which has 70% muslim population ?
Infact, in the Bihar elections, BJP won 91 of the 102 seats it contested. Do you think people have just voted it to ensure one ram temple in each of its constituency. No, people believe that, if BJP subtracts Hinduism from its agenda, it becomes their favorite. For the election campaigning, Narendra Modi was not called because he is regarded as a Hindu icon, neither BJP discussed the Ayodhya temple issue during it's entire campaigning in Bihar. And this bore the fruits. People sweeped the way for BJP because then BJP proved to be the best option.
In the past also, whenever BJP insisted on its, orthodox Hinduism views, it was wrecked. A couple of years ago, after the Kandhamal riots, BJP has to loose it's share from Satta in Orissa ! Kalyan Singh lost in UP.
People take Narendra Modi as an orthodox Hindu leader. I wondered then how is he the Chief minister of a state for so long. I surfed his official website, and i found the answers. He has done fantabulous work in the female literacy, Special Economic Zone and agriculture. Which means it is impossible for a party to win the hearts of the people on this orthodox folio.
And yes, when BJP deletes this Hinduism agenda it becomes the strongest contender to rule the nation. The present government lacks the unshaken hands to initiate. India has so far conducted 6 nuclear tests out of which 5 have been conducted in 5 years tenure of the BJP government. Don't you think US hadn't tried to forbid India from doing so. Even The then prime minister turned down the US request to sign the CTBT. Isn't this a sign of strong governance.
Today, in USA, one or other Indian citizen is stripped at the airport every hour for the sake of their security. Even top officials like Meera Shankar and Hardeep Puri were asked for security check.
Isn't this an act of sheer coward that, we at India welcome Hillary Clinton without passing her through any security check who is at a post at par as George Fernandes was then, when he was security checked by the TSA.
A simple solution, every day the Ambassador of USA to India visits the south block in Delhi. Just one day, check him thoroughly in an typical Indian style at the South Block entrance i.e shake him from top to bottom. USA will learn the lessons. But no. Present UPA government can't dare do so. What will be the fate of nuclear deal then ?
And so I put my step forward and support "BJP minus radical Hinduism".
