As it looks increasingly likely that BJP will be voted back into power by the Hindu majority in Hindustan, I think this calls for some reflection by those Indians on this forum who keep trying to pull the wool over our eyes with tales of tolerance and multi-cultural hog-wash.
It has been proven on numerous occasions that BJP has ties with fascist Hindu parties like VHP and RSS, and indeed, most neutral observers consider the BJP as the political face of such parties. In light of this, what does that tell us about the nature of India's Hindu population which is voting in these Hindu supremacists?
Let us cast our minds back to what has happened in 'tolerant' India since the BJP came to power at the wish of the Hindu majority;
1) Babri mosque demolished under the supervision of BJP authorities. To be replaced by temple to Ram.
2)Hindu riots following goading of BJP big shot, Bal Thackeray, in which thousands of muslims are massacred by 'peace-loving' Hindus.
3) Attempted introduction of Hindu teachings to children of all faiths in India.
4) Raping of nuns by Hindu supremacists.
5) 4000 more mosques targeted for demolition.
6) Indian actor Dilip Kumar is victimised by Bal Thackeray and his supporters for being muslim and not renouncing the award presented years ago by Pakistan for his film career.
7) Pakistani musician Ghulam Ali is chased out of India and his concert abandoned when his safety comes under threat in tolerant India.
8) Pakistani team are threatened on their tour to India and BJP mouth-piece Bal Thackeray ony accepts Pakistani team on realisation that India's world standing is diving with the bad publicity. BJP duplicity is thus confirmed as principles take a back seat to pragmatism.
9) BJP Hindu supremacy is mirrored by the spectating public in their antagonistic behaviour in the 2nd and 3rd test matches of the said tour by Pakistan.
10) India's cricketers jump on the bandwagon following Kargil and reveal their BJP natures. Kapil Dev and Sachin Tendulkar are particularly vitriolic in their tirades against their muslim neighbours.
There is plenty more but I don't want to make this post over-long so I will wait for some feedback before I say anything else.
