Hallo, u r wrong. Even outside Gujarat, he is hero, for those who belives in human rights and equal rights to all or Common law for every individual on the earth.
Sad thing is that most of the so called itellectuals do not exercise their voting rights in India. In fact most of the illeterate people go for voting for a few bucks thrown at them during election. Congress is mostly won by illeterate, uneducated masses' votes. See most of the election results.
Most of the intellectuals (whatever % go for voting)irrespective of caste vote for BJP.
