Mr. columnist, whoever you are, if you want to come out as a BJP purist, you dont have to hide behind history. There used to be a german saying during the times of Hitler, "my country good or bad." it seems that you want to harp on that albeit in some diluted manner, and still claim to be secular. It is not a shame to come out as a "Hindu", it is though to be one and support the fundamentalist. And this goes for any religion. Funny, how every religion claim to be secular and preaches love and compassion and yet time and again more people have fallen victims to its "good intentions".
