Dear Anti Hindutvavadi Nachiketaji ( this seems an appropriate address for you)
Hindu Nationalists are neither Rightwind nor Left, they are deffinitely not wrong. They take their inspiration from Agastiya, Rishabh, Rama, Krishna, Chanakya, Adi Shankaracharya, Ras Khan the poet, Buddha, Mahavir, Guru Nanak, Rana Pratap, Chhtrapati Shivaji, Guru Govind Singh, Jhansi Ki Rani, Padmavati Rani, Durgavati Rani, Maharaj Ranjit Singh, Swami Vivekanand, Bhagat Singh, Madanlala Dhingra, Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Bose, Veer Savarkar, Tilak, Ravindra Tagore, Sister Nivedita, and many more who have given the identity to the Nation of Bharat. If we Hindutvavadis take inspiration from the above, then by your definition, all the above are right wing and dangerous to the Nation, and they are all to be condemned for their RIGHT WING activities.

So I condemn the Maoists for taking the path of violence absolutely and totally. More so because they provide the space for the rightwing forces to tar all progressives as maoists, terrorists and extremists. I do think that Hindutva poses a greater threat to Indian nationhood and Indian constitution - both because it is like a cancer in the body politic and because it is so good at camouflaging itself. The maoists are but children in front of the rightwing fundamentalism. Compare the space and legitimacy the Bajrang Dal enjoys in India - are they any less violent then maoists with non-hindus. Yes these forces don't need to fight the state- because they are taking it from within - as right wing always does - through coup or politics. Hitler was selected through democratic processes too. Democracy is a fragile political system.

Good strategy. But in my own views it is really difficult to say which is a greater danger to Indian State and our Constitution - the Maoists (from the left) or the hindutvavadis (from the right). ? ? Shri Nachiketa-ji ? Neither your view nor mine view important.? I think the police, military intelligence agencies, do make fair assessment. I would put my trust on them more than on vote bank blinded politicians,?hidden agenda driven human rights organizations/NGOs or for that matter rabble rousing internet activists. ? I would accord more intelligence to the aam aadmi, and they they will be able to figure out the difference between empty rhetoric and serious threat to Indian nationhood posed by Maoists and their supporters. ?
