<!--QuoteBegin-Swamy G+Dec 9 2008, 11:08 PM-->QUOTE(Swamy G @ Dec 9 2008, 11:08 PM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->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.

You are right..majority has to feel the heat under their bottoms..just seeing the fire far away is not enough.
BJP needs to
--do what Modi does..he does get through to a lot of people. Modi has excellent on-the-spot thinking skills. His answers to questions are smart. BJP has to learn these skills, or if they cannot learn, at least keep a list of phrases to avoid.
-- not field no-name candidates in assembly elections.
--work on development as well as on Hindu issues both count. Dealing with Hindu issues can be done by simply trying to end muslim appeasement, no need to even use the word Hindu. Modi rarely does, but Hindus love him and psces hate him.
--Keep talking about illegals and driving them out
--Keep talking about evangelization..christians dont vote BJP, and those that do will still vote BJP when they know BJP is talking about these new Southern Baptist kind, not old Indian Christians.
--Forget trying to court muslim vote
