<!--QuoteBegin-ravish+May 30 2009, 11:38 AM-->QUOTE(ravish @ May 30 2009, 11:38 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->The contrasting views expressed by Mudy and Sroy is the true picture of the day dreaming by a section of the people and the reality of contemporary India as brought out by Sroy. This day dreaming is the very reason for the poor showing by the NDA in general and BJP in particular.
Religious agenda, particularly conservative Hindu agenda can never bring success to any political party in India on a national scale. The degrading of the Bengali public of West Bengal has always been a favourite past time of a few individuals, which gets fresh fuel by tagging on with the Communists. India is a democracy and to be a Communist is not a crime, as to be a member of VHP in the propagation and protection of Hindu religious beliefs and disbeliefs ( like self imposed ban on beef eating ).
These old slogans have not worked to the expectation of the day dreamers on a national scale, as is evident from the election results. However, the excuses for the poor performance put forward refuses to accept the irrelevance of religion as a poll issue on a national scale. The continuance of this self denial will bring further disaster to NDA in the future. The only ray of hope is that non of the top leaders of the NDA have so far joined the denial mode on the lines of some of the distinguished thinkers and contributors of this forum .
I entirely agree with Sroy, that the younger generation of the entire so called cow belt have become much more anglicised than those from the East. The popularity of the terms, Daddy. Mummy, Auntiji, Oncalji and the fast growing popularity of jeans and see through dress by the young girls of the region are a clear indicator of which direction the wind is blowing. In most cases, this trend is growing due to open encouragement of the elders in the family and in the society. The community dancing during wedding in which now the elders particularly grandmasâ participation in the geographical region under reference is a pointer to this trend.

Ravishji,
In the Lok Sabha elections, in Bengal as many as 6 constituencies BJP has played spoiler to Left chances. There is no BJP organisation to speak of in Bengal today.
However, these places has dedicated RSS network. They are secretive and keep to themselves to avoid clashing with communist cadre.
The 10-20% range of BJP vote in these places is entirely on peoples self will. There was no BJP campaigning in WB till date.
One must note, if BJP presents itself as a better alternative then it would have won in many places.
Trinamool has countered the Left in terms of goon power and money power. BJP has none. But these are surmountable if RSS charts out a plan.
<b>So what do people like Mudyji do? Go out and brand everyone in WB as commie. <!--emo&

It is not fair to blame BJP, if BJP's vocal supporters like Mudyji speak as such in public forums.
