Let us not be so complacent and self-congratulatory because they have decided to withdraw. It is worth asking why they thought they could get away with the affidavit, and their clear anti-hindu bias : the clear answer is because we Hindus (myself included) talk too much, rely on everyone else to take the lead, and throughout history have ourselves allowed others to destroy and demean our culture, religion and self-respect.
Let us all resolve to talk less and do more, and not be ashamed of being Hindu. Please exercise your votes and make sure you are heard.
