So, now we have a definition of Indianness - the degree of a Muslim's 
Indianness (expressed in terms of percentage) corresponds to the level of 
his/her fame and fortune.

I would like to repeat what I said the other day, in response to Vijender 
Chauhan's post - people who work to demolish democracy, often do so in the 
name of, and under the protection provided by that same democracy.

I take the liberty of thanking Ms Vedavati for her advice on behalf of all 
pseudosecularists. I also take this opportunity to point out that Mr Modi 
did what the Bolsheviks and the Nazis did -  murder democracy by using 
democracy. And while doing so, Mr Modi excelled in the Nazi art of 
rabble-rousing.

A truly democratic sciety, which wants to continue to reproduce itself and 
NOT  LET  ITSELF  BE  MANIPULATED  BY  TOTALITARIAN  FORCES into something 
other than itself, should outlaw or at least place restrictions on these 
forces, apart from fighting them ideologically. Logically enough, we have 
laws against antinational activities. These forces are antinational, too, in 
that they are trying to destroy the nation as it has been constructed 
according to modernist ideals. So why should they not be bracketed with 
other antinational groups? If they want to play the game of mediavalism in 
its postmodern avatar, so be it. But then they should have the courage to 
come out of the system they are trying to destroy. At least the Maoists - 
those groups which do not fight elections - have shown the courage to do so.
