Couple of questions for the stalwarts
Where does ABVP fit in the scheme of things for BJP? ABVP should be more vocal in campuses, holding debates on crucial issuesOr are they fit only for goondagardhi and drinking Haywards 5000 and ogle at women?
Why can't BJP start their own publicity arm, distribution outlets in every community - handouts to blogs to SMSs (Having a poorly maintained website does not cut it)
Why can't they have monthly meetings in every community - if not BJP, then sangh associated outfits. Start using temples as meeting places. Hindus do not have a place to meet anywhere as government by design stops temples being used for such things (whereas it is ok for churches and mosques)
What is their strategy in delivering the message? Our message was never the problem. The problem was always the mode, content and the delivery. What is being done or will be done to rectify it.
Are they planning to tie up with any think tanks? If so, which ones and why? If not, why not?
What is being done to get in between two extremes - Continue wearing khaki chaddis OR discard hindutva for "liberal hinduism" (Since congress owns secular hinduism). Wtf!
Why can't they (BJP + RSS) embrace temple protection movements and ingratiate with local communities? Have one member/karyakartha for every temple in the country or cluster of temples in an area. Continue to log/document what's being done to the temples.
Why can't they be more vocal about Hindus' plight in other countries, and and in India itself? Don't scream bloody murder about Conversions (counter it quietly), but scream out loud about the victims. We are after all in the human rights and victimized world.
Who is stopping them from making documentaries and distributing freely over the net? Why can't they do that?
Why can't they embrace goraksha movement - if there is none, start one.
The bottomline is they need to organize, involve communities (Hindus) and start a movement. Whether they like it or not, they are never going to get Mullah and Missionary vote. Let "secular parties" compete for that and thin that vote out. We may not see complete hindu unity, but creating hindu brother hood and a sense of shared destiny is not impossible.
