Extract: "First, the BJP’s critique of pseudo-secularism itself became obsolete because of the shifts in the ground realities of Indian politics, particularly the transformation in Muslim politics. But more importantly, it could not dissociate that critique from a politics of hate. At the state level, Gujarat, Karnataka, Orissa and even Rajasthan, there is little doubt that the BJP’s grassroots tactics are deeply polarising, if Mangalore and Kandhamal are harbingers of what BJP politics can bring.
And the BJP’s response to them is still the discourse of “justified” revenge." http://www.indianexpress.com/news/the-politics-of-hurt/447119/0 Voters in Goa need to be aware and alert to the dangers. Regards, Marshall
