It is ironical that the writer goes on an exclusion path (“ >Confronting the right wing ,” Dec. 11) while trying to portray the need for an all-inclusive society. While he takes the oft-repeated approach in demonising the right wing, the article does not offer any fresh perspective into the so-called dangers posed by the RSS. It would have helped to understand a little more what the real or lurking dangers this is going to bring in the future. I also see a contradiction in the core theme of this argument about the dangers the current regime brings.

The writer has rightly pointed that India is a civilisation base of a number of faiths. Various right-wing organisations have been portraying Hindutva as a real version of Indian nationalism at the cost of securalism and which damages the secular fabric. It must not be forgotten that not very long ago, a Union Cabinet Minister and a national leader of a political party wanted “national scripture” status for a revered book even though the Constitution declares that India has no official religion.
