The analogy is bogus because these religious activists are injecting
their religion into politics and public affairs, and trying to legally
restrict the rights of others. The Pope, on the other hand, is merely
preaching to his followers the righteous beliefs of his faith, and
perhaps, trying to spread his faith by peaceful persuasion.
If you don't like what the Pope is saying you don't have to listen to
him or follow him. But if you don't like what the Hindutva activists
are planning to do, you have no choice. If they manage to get their
way, you will have to restrict your diet, forcibly sing to their tune,
and write and paint what they tell you.
Cheers,
Santosh
