Hindutva movement has a big problem right now. However, Hinduism is definitely not the problem.
Now, if it is not the superiority complex then what is it that is driving the Saffron diehards to push other religious groups to an extremely uncomfortable position? Are these Saffron diehards driven by their political calculations which are more of sectarian in nature and not by such benign goal of spreading the goodness of Hinduism?
Of late, many have concluded that the depredations and loose talks attached with the Saffron brigade are failing the very idea of India.People think now that the actual beliefs of Hinduism are the mother lode of bad ideas, thanks to the Saffron diehards. Vocal campaign by these Saffron forces has made the people for the gross generalizations of Hinduism. In reality, the activities and campaign by these Saffron forces do not fit the caricatures projected by earlier Hindu leaders. Many of yesteryears Swamis, if they are here today, will be appalled by these dominant activities of the Saffron forces.
Today, permissive atmosphere of communalism has stalked our country. Unpalatable things have been said about the Christians and the Muslims by the Hindu nationalists ever since the Saffron party came to power. Because of this reason the atmosphere remains mired in a deep malaise. These activities have also made our country strapping for security and secularism. These Hindu Right elements just couldn’t be fine.
What is most conspicuous about these elements is their ridiculousness as they push their agenda with over brimming enthusiasm.
