All these experts who keep on damning Hindutva forces including the all knowing DDS do not even make a mention of an entity called the BMAC. When even the so-called fascist Hindutva forces were ready to come to an agreement to give up their claim to all religious sites in as long as Ayodhya, MAthura and one more site was handed over, was it not these secular worthies who refused to give up an inch at the same time forcing an elected govt to overturn the supreme court order.
Let us also give credit to the eminent historians who put in al efforts to prove that Ram and Krishna did not exist and were all myths.

Please cool down. Here’s what I meant when I said the IE says the right thing.

Like you, I don’t buy the “soft Hindutva” crap that IE has dished out. What I meant was, Rajiv finally bowed to pressure when he opened the locks of the gate. In the words of IE, it comes out twisted–note that Hindutva (soft, medium, hard) is in itself a term of abuse. I guess you didn’t read the whole post because immediately after that, I’ve said:

Interspersed among these words is a prominent hint: the columnists seem to imply that the opening the locks was a mistake,…

I was merely semi-analysing the piece so linking that to disrespecting your culture and heritage is incorrect!

Cheers!

Indira ?? Rajiv ?!! Congress and soft Hindutva ? No man,, not at all.. The worst excesses against Hindus have taken place under Congress.

Do you think that “soft Hindutva” is wrong ?
I mean to say, not “that” variety, but still.. what wrong with respecting our culture and heritage.

Ramjanmabhoomi was not due to soft Hindutva or anything…. It was a long simmering discontent at being treated as unequal lower citizens of the country, our religion ridiculed and blamed for things which have no relation with other events whatsoever… (eg. bastard wannabe-British Nehru and his Hindu rate of growth comments)
