Indians are by birth liberal and tolerant

It is three years since the Right came to power in India. Communal violence has declined during BJP rule. Right wing forces are more violent in opposition and less so in power. The Rightist takeover occurred not through communal violence and brute force but by elections.

That our Rightist are not communal but are secular is proved by following facts: 1500 years before our constitution was written, one small boat load of Parsis came here and now they are the richest minority of the world. The Jews and Sytian Xtians also survived well in Hindu culture. They were protected even though 10 crore Hindus died under Moghuls. But what about the barely 70 year old Constitution. It calls for democracy which implies implement the majority view every time. The combined anti democratic forces of dynasty of Congress, Communists and Islamists have joined hands in a manner not envisaged by Dr Ambedkar and practicing Pseudo Secularism.

The right wing takeover should occur fast and swift for India's sake. There is an utterly mistaken belief that left wing is tolerant, peaceful and "civilized". But nothing is further from the truth. Left wing is violent - all the left wing violence against world trade, communist insurgencies, naxalism, violent green movements, etc -- and highly intolerant of any strand of thought that is at odds with left wing "thought". It is another lie that as an opposition Islamism is positioned as a left wing movement. Both the Left wing and Islamism can only be fought and defeated by an unbeatable right wing movement. 1000 years of "tolerance" has seen 35% of united India become Islamic, its Hindu and Buddhist heritage destroyed, plundered and the minds of the remaining colonized by Islamism and Leftist ideas.

Some are concerned about India becoming a Pakistan because of major problems that are foreseen with the impending majoritarianism. If they could only allow themselves a wider perspective on this subject instead of being confined to a narrow preconceived agenda, then they would be able to foresee for themselves the dangerous consequences that would descend if pseudo secularism status quo was to thrive in place of Hindu Majoritarianism. Within three decades when the Muslim population crosses that magic figure, where they can legitimately call for imposing Shariah laws, they might attempt to make this country an Islamic Republic.

If someone can check mushrooming Muslim population it could only be a Hindu majoritarian regime. The fault lies not only with so called secular parties but also intellectuals who keep on weeping over the rise of rightist parties. The voters are neither rightist nor centrist nor leftists. They vote as per their requirement and their perceptions. Every action has a reaction. Now the direction of reaction depends on action. If one government does not deliver then voters will look for the person who can deliver. In this aspect, Modi scored over UPA. Now if UPA would have delivered, Modi would not have become our PM. The voter probably thought that if the UPA would come again in 2014 we will again have dummy PM. Voters did not like the undue inclination of so called Secular parties towards Muslim at the cost of majority Hindu.

Right wing or Left wing, India would never be like Pakistan. It is not in the DNA of India. Forget some fringe elements. Indians are by birth liberal and tolerant without advices from anybody.
