Clamour for Hindu state

A political ideology that favours nativism and monoculturalism has no place in a democracy.

As the promises of good governance, development and prosperity do not seem to attract voters anymore, parties old and now are looking to proffer new ones. Just a year into the new Parliament’s tenure, political parties already seem to have turned on the election mode, displaying their inner anxieties about what’s in store in 2027. The competition now seems to be for who can make a solid case for “Hindu Rashtra”, even while trying hard not to sound too regressive.
