I fear the author does not really know Hindi. He translates Kattarpanthi as rabid communalist. The word simply means fundamentalist.
The other big mistake he and every other commentator seems to be making is the habit of generalising Muslims. The truth is Muslims on the ground are as or more divided as Hindus among all political parties including SP, BSP, Congress, BJP to an extent and now all the new mushrooming community based political organizations. I don't gives these community parties a chance as Muslims dont have a history of voting for their community organizations.
