The Right To Bigotry
If the voters vindicate the BJP in Gujarat it does not logically follow that Indians are in favor of the RSS agenda.
At the worst it means that Gujaratis are.
Stop making authoritative comments about India while sitting in some stinking cube farm.

The Right To Bigotry
There is something fundamentally disgusting about your conclusion. I suspect you yourself are disgusted by your conclusion.
You are proposing to pull a Jack Nicholson on an entire country (You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!).
If publications or the authorities withhold the truth from the public it is with the assumption that the public cant be trusted with the truth. Well then how can the same public be trusted to know what is good for it?
You are challenging the very basis of democracy. Furthermore, this whole notion of ‘responsible’ editors withholding information from the flammable hordes reeks of elitism of the worst kind.
