Dray I am all for secularism and political correctness. But you must also understand that being politically overcorrect is quite dangerous too.
The problem with us bengalis(I am presuming you are one too, do correct me if i am wrong) is that we tend to be poltically overcorrect and end up choosing the worst of the lot. Since you are from WB I guess you will be voting for either TMC or CPM . Do you really think either of them are better when it comes to 'secularism'?
You have got to understand that Jats are a whole lot different from us .Pandering to their honour , machoism etc really matters to them . If not for Amit Shah , RLD would have entinced them with similar words. And frankly Amit Shah did not ask them to kill muslims. He specifically said that there can be no 'revenge' with swords , only by voting.
No offence but it is with the too idealistic views like yours that we in WB have ended up with parties like CPM and TMC. Former has destroyed whatever prosperity that Bengal had and the latter is no better.
What does their manifesto says about growth and improvement of manufacturing sector in India

Return of Kashmiri pandits to their homeland to live with dignity is our priority area
So sad and so true. We seem to think the the entire burden of maintaning the ethos of this country (by which i mean secularism and only secularism ) falls on only hindus and specifically on Bengalis. We will never get it out of our heads that as 'intellectuals' we and only we can be correct , the world be damned. The entire country will move forward and we will remain debating in coffeehouses and clubs cz that it us, all talk and no pragmatism to speak of. Meanwhile Mamata and CPM will slug it out amongst themselves to get the 'secular' vote of muslims and WB will forever remain stagnant in time.Dont worry... Your "bhadralok" will ensure that no forward looking party will ever win in W.B. This sudden urge to defend the "idea of India" and threat to secularism whenever someone talks of Hindu sentiments is very deep rooted in Bengali intelligentsia.. Amazingly beef is now being considered a symbol of secularism by a few. Anyone who talks about this is communal.
I hope it doesn't mean dropping it completely altogether
@DRAY
I watched your debate in the Pink Revolution thread.
You yourself witnessed the so called 'Hindu' tolerance there. To be honest, some of these people do actually worry me.
And what Amit Shad is inexcusable.
We are so quick to preach to the pakistanis about 'Secular India' but lets incidents like these go?
Sir, I hope you are aware of Amit Shah's complete political profile. And why do I need to be selective when I am hearing the speech of the right hand man of India's would be prime Minister?
Ravi, am more irritated by some of the remarks here. The ghost of Hermione is still haunting these threads. Certainly I became pseudo intellectual and anti BJP because I do not support foxes like Shah. This intolerance and anger makes me quite uneasy and makes me stay away from these political threads. See you later.
