RE:Please reverse this trend

India was formed as a union of cultures, union of dfferent states with the common thread of secularism and democracy. Now led by BJP and followers like Lopesh, we have more or less succeeded in making people think they are Hinuds , Muslims and Christians and not Indians first. BJP will definitely rise and rise because majority ( 87%) according to you are Hindus. Appeasing this 87%, whipping up religious and communal passion in this 87% is so easy a game. Compared to all these, the struggle of parties like Congress, CPI etc should be really commended. Their is a difficult and principle based struggle. They may not succeed everytime because BJP is aggressively wooing the majority 87%. Also one should unerstand that hacing respect for the rights of minority, treating them as brethren is not weakness. But if we respect those who are minority in number, weaker in society, it only shows the rich culture and heritage of India and Hindus. Its not a sign of weakness, but a marlk of biug strenth. Going after passions, cribbing against non-Hindus is actually the sign of weakness and narrow-mindedness!

Must congratulate and salute the secular people among these 87%. They are real Indians. People who vote based on caste and religion just do not belong to India and just do not respect the constitution or foundation of Indian republic.

Sooner or later, BJP and followers like Lopesh will break India into pieces!
