Bharatvarsh,
Agreed. But the solution is to be as ruthless and vicious to the communists as they have been to the hindus. ABV wanted to be the darling of all his enemies. Congress and Communists had nothing at all to fear under his benevolent rule. They happily enjoyed and laughed in private at the foolish magnanimity. While they leave no stone unturned to undermine hindu causes whenever it has been in their power.
If BJP comes to power next, I wish to see them go after the communists with a vengeance. There is a lot that can be done legally and constitutionally to shake their hold on India. Unfortunately I don't see Advani understanding that. He bought the <b>'be lovely and cuddly to your enemies'</b> line from ABV lock stock and barrel. He is spent. Younger leaders like Modi, Rajnath Singh, Kalyan Singh would do much better in comparison. I had strong doubts about Pramod Mahajan, but that is a moot point now. Uma bharati is too volatile and outside BJP. Arun Shourie has a sharp and uncluttered mind, and is ideologically a slab of granite, but is not really a politician, and can be made a sorry spectacle like MMS by career politicos if made PM. He would do great as a minister though. Venkaiyah Naidu is spent. Arun Jaitley and Sushma swaraj are softies, although could be very valuable as ministers.
