i agree with the views expressed in the article.What surprised me most the reaction of intelligencia in India which did not ask why the certificate of Pakistan is required for the person to be called a secular.This is the main reason that advani fell into the trap.He wanted to say most libral views on the land of communalists which are lebelled as seculars by Indian class since all these years.To praise Pakistan is considred an act of secularism by Indian Muslims.Those who wants the support of Indian Muslims should therefore support Pakistan.This is irony of Indian politics as they(the Indian Muslims)occupy most strategic position without whose support no Indian Union Government could be formed as they are deciding factor in more than 100 M.P.constituencies in India.Advani or no Advani,Hindutva has to comromise with this reality.
