We can keep arguing, condemning the 'secular' political parties till the cows come home. Nothing has ever changed and nothing will; the only plausible solution to this and other problems 'plaguing' our country is VOTE BJP TO POWER. And unlike last time vote them to complete majority, do not tie their hands by giving them a fractured mandate wherein they've to rule with the support of a 13 party pseudo- secular jumboree (the mamtas, lalitas, jayas & the naidus are willing to pull them down at the silliest excuse).If a 20% monority can dictate & dominate the Indian polity for the past 60 yrs due to the fact that they sink their differences & vote en block, its time the majority has to wake up to this reality and get themselves heard and protect their "motherland", which other communities refuse to accept, respect & acknowledge. Everybody else just wants their rights & previledges from this 'motherland' but doesn't want to give anything to it. So the solution is simple: GET YOUR VOTER IDENTITY CARDS & VOTE FOR BJP. rediff mods do not delete this in the interest of secularism.

Do you really think that BJP would do a lot for the Hindus? I seriously doubt the deliverables specially when it comes from any political block.

Atleast unlike the commies, they wud not legitmise 50 lakh bangladeshis in West Bengal to consolidate their vote banks. The Hindus in East & South must sink their differences & vote BJP to power, if you want to see our country survive peacefully.

Lower Casts would never vote for BJP as Muslims won't because the lower casts perceive BJP to be representative of higher cast. So why would they vote for BJP.

There is a huge difference to work in a state and in a Counrtry set up. In state you don't have State set ups which is to some extent independent of Central government. Secondly, it might sound simple to get rid of all Minorities, but practically that is impossible. Even to change simplest of the things as you may say article 370 or uniform civil code, that a fundamental constitution change which means 2/3rd mejority in the parliament plus more than half of states approval again with 2/3rd majority. So nothing in that front is going to change. If you talk about terrorism, they can bring in POTA or any other thougher laws but remember it already backfired once for them it can bite back even harder this time, with the world watching, India can not become China or N. Korea overnight. It has to depend on a lot of countries specially islamic countries for Oil. Have you ever thought if a whole India episode of Gujrat happens then what sort of international repurcutions it might have?
