Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the BJP still strongly supported by the urban middle class voters ? Wasn't the congress alliance elected by mostly rural voters who vote anti-incumbentent. In other words this group will vote for a different party in the next election, because the benefits of economic growth likely won't trickle to the rural areas yet.
I get the feeling that in general, Hindu Nationalists are steadily becoming stronger. I don't buy the western and leftist media propaganda that somehow Indians are moving away from pro Hindu movements.
Also don't forget that Abhrahamic fascists historically have had a lot more money than Hindus, so they are able to influence people's minds. Only in the last 10 years has "Hindu money" started to catch up and is starting to have an effect. We still need a Hindu "Fox News" style media outlets.

Several contributors to the forum have brought these charges in their blogs above. There is no divine force that has brought in any Government to power in India. Therefore, the obvious conclusion is that the present Government has also been voted to Power by the votes of a substantial number of Hindu voters. The votes of the minority community can affect the results of a few seats but it cannot bring any Political party or group to power.
Will any of the distinguished contributors throw some light as to how such string anti Hindu outfit has come to Power in India today.</b>
