https://www.dawn.com/news/1384579/how-does-one-please-golwal kar IF Hindu rashtra becomes inevitable, how should India's Muslims and Christians go about taking evasive action, and will they be the only ones that need to? We are not talking about the reasons why such an eventuality could descend on us sooner or later. It's not about Sitaram Yechury losing the crucial vote on the communist party's anti-BJP strategy in the decision-making central committee the other day. It's not even about Rahul Gandhi being made to believe (falsely) that his temple-hopping got him the votes in Gujarat, when it was actually three unrelated youngsters who shored up the campaign. It's not about Kejriwal's party being slaughtered daily with cleavers dispatched to democratically masked abattoirs from the prime minister's office, or Lalu Yadav being locked up arbitrarily, or Mamata Banerjee being threatened with a similar fate. It is about all that and more. When the hurly-burly's done, when the battle's lost and won, what then? What should the Muslims and Christians do? Or, for that matter, what can the Dabholkars, the Kalburgis, the rationalist followers of Gauri Lankesh and Govind Pansare do to take evasive action? What should the Marxists do? What can the LGBT community do, and what does the future hold for Indian feminists? Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, the ideological guru of the idea of Hindu rashtra, said adopt the Hindu way of life and be saved. That was an offer Hitler didn't make to the Jews: adopt a Protestant or a German way of life and be saved. The question is, what constitutes Golwalkar's Hindu way? The search is as desperate as the answer is elusive. (Dawn lo article  )Disclaimer: Do your own research before investing in any cryptocurrency or conventional stocks.
