In a land of paradoxes none are more paradoxical than Hindus and Hindu politics.
Narendra Modi is fighting an election in Gujarat as a BJP candidate and as a Hindu stalwart, a fighter for Hindu interests.
A bit farther down in Punjab the same party BJP is a coalition partner in a government that has silently allowed a portrait of Bhindranwale, a Hindu killer and enemy of India killed in an operation conducted by the Indian Army to be placed in a Sikh holy shrine along with the portraits of other Sikh martyrs and saints.
What is BJP’s stand and position? In Gujarat it is Hindu’s friend, but in Punjab it’s not?
