Both Gujarat and Mah (and i suspect karnataka) are hindutva states in that in these states the majority believe in a soft version of hindutva. Mr Modi due to good governance and "forced" redistricting has been able to convert this at the polls. In Mah it has failed because Mr Thackeray is not in favor of good governance and also due to the presence of the Sugar Lobby. Its only a matter of time before Mah falls to the hindutva bandwagon. However make no mistake we are all for hindutva we are not for hindi-vadi.

Number of poor and illetrate Hindu's are far less in Karnatak, compared with Gujarat and Mahatrashtra; that is how Karanataka's, even corrupt politician like Deve Gowda & Sons, put a full-stop on Fake Hindutwavadi's zeal to grab power in this estwhile princely state.
