Shambhu: The Hindus that like those policies, enjoy them and then go and vote on caste. Appeasing the majority is a nearly impossible. Unless the majority is threatened by the minority it is not going to work. And the majority Hindus are sitting ducks, waiting for slow extinction.
BJP has to find a modern vote plank, and sit on it. During the initial days, I liked the discipline the party exhibited (owing to RSS influence). I thought here is a party that is different from the dynastic politics. There were professors in the ranks. I thought here is a party with educated folks who are going to do good for the country. Today, there are as many goons in it (at least charged) like the Kangress.
I am not saying they are not doing, I am saying the message is not percolating to modern young Indians.
