Only non-religious, non-ethnic, non-language, non-racial parties must be permitted as in America eg. Democrats, Republicans, Green Party, else Democracy will tear itself apart as in Germany in 1933 under Adolf Hitler who was democratically elected and his Nazi divisive policies. Democracy is as dangerous as dictatorship if not implemented properly.
Be genuinely secular like America - same laws and benefits for all Religions.

Dont think our Hindutva fanatics would want that. We already have Modi, an elected chief of a state of Gurajrat, who was denied US visa, who has support from educated and uneducated fanatics alike.

Very well said. We are very close to be called as a failed state. People can block roads, shutodown cities, stop trains, incite violence for any and all reasons. What is clearly missing in our country is the fear/respect for law. Only that kind of fear will deter people from creating riots, blasts, bandhs and other inhuman acts.
To all those who take sides in such incidents, please remeber that "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". Only way to get out of this situation is to denounce violence and never justify it for political/religious/any other reason.
