So your solution is stick with Congress. That will solve problem. Or you have another party, who can win and promote your agenda in full, 100%.

Are you asking me or are you asking yourself? What is the point in choosing between two not so enticing outfits? Such options rule out making a fundamental choice or even address basic issue of a Hindu.

M.F. Husain and the assault against Hindu India – Gautam Sen

[...]



It is amusing to observe so many ardent nationalists, who once made modest professional careers by proclaiming sympathy for Hindu interests, lining up to celebrate the departed Maqbool Fida Husain’s highly provocative depiction of venerated Hindu goddesses. None of them are evidently qualified to judge artistic merit, but are trotting out the tired repudiation of critics with the implied solemn query ‘when did you last beat your wife’, as a defense of Husain’s license to do as he pleased.



They do not hesitate to excoriate what one described as Internet Hindus, as if the appellation had explanatory power beyond the mundane fact that practising Hindus, irrespective of qualification, are rarely allowed a voice in India’s purchased print media and television channels. One journalist with elevated connections to Hindutva nationalism insinuated on NDTV that the Hindutva brigade ‘hounding’ Husain was akin to Nazism of the 1930s (only seeking legal opinion in the courts as it happens and occasionally disrupting exhibitions). He is apparently in need of education on what transpired in mid-1930s Germany.

Gautam Sen should name names and quote exactly what these fair-weather friends/nationalists said. If their names and the exact incendiary words alluded-to were made public, not everyone will want to play ball with these people in future: I imagine any Hindus with sense will regard them as permanently tainted, as unHindus, and avoid them like the plague.

Senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar has said that [color="#8B0000"]former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao [/color]was to blamed for the 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid, as the act occurred when he was in office.



Talking to media persons here on Sunday, Aiyar said that Rao had a conflict with Congress party over secularism.



"He (Narasimha Rao) was the one who was responsible for what happened in the Babri Masjid, he proved that death is not a necessary pre-condition for rigor mortis to set in. It was the biggest disaster that overtook this country because the rift valley in politics is not between right wing economic policies and left wing economic policies, it is over the nature of our nation hood. Are we a secular nation? An inclusive nation? Or are we any new nation?" he added.



[size="3"]He said that years ago during his Ram Rahim yatra (rally) Rao had told Aiyar that [size="4"]he did not understand his definition of secularism, [color="#8B0000"]as the former Prime Minister believed that India was a Hindu country[/color][/size].[/size]



The demolition of the 16th century Babri Mosque by Hindu zealots on December 6, 1992 had triggered widespread religious riots across the country.



He further compared the Indian National Congress was a shelter, wherein people could walk in and out as per their wishes but is proud of its diversity.



"The Congress has always been a 'dharamshala' (shelter) wherein many people can come, stay, get up, go and then come back again. So it is such a party, which had Indian freedom fighters Lala Lajpat Rai, Madan Mohan Malviya and Jawaharlal Nehru as well. It such a party that had Purushottam Das Tandon in Uttar Pradesh and Jawaharlal Nehru in New Delhi. It is such a party in which people of different opinion can live harmoniously," he said. (ANI)
