I feel that this article has enhanced my respect for Narendra Modi. I personally would like the Hindutva ideology to go forward with changing times. This is the essence of Hindutva. Unlike Islam it does not stagnate in time. I would like India to be a modern republic with people enjoying their hard earned money. I will certainly not like Hindus to live like people in the middle ages.
The Hindu's should be identified with progressive and agressive mentalities.Modi is an ideal for those who think like me. I would hate people imposing ideas of 'swadeshi'(where not reqired). The old guard of RSS typically constitues those who's ideas do not change with time. Ask a hard core RSS person and he would oppose youngsters even wearing jeans! While the RSS commitment to nationalism and spread of patriotic values and work in adivasi area's is unquestionably commendable they should also have room for modern proponents of Hindutva like Narendra Modi. Because these are people who are efficient change with time and pull along people into the modern era while maintaining a basic Hindu identity.
