Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The "beauty" about Congress politicians is that, unlike the BJP for instance, they can play on the religiosity of diverse groups! They can also indulge in multiple communalism, while attempting to harvest votes and support from all sides. I think politicians holding public office in a secular state -- where religion is a private affair -- need to be careful about the metaphors they use. This is why there was an outcry (and rightly in my view) when the Congress allegedly dished out the "Nagaland for Christ" slogan. [I would like to have found a better reference, but this is all I could manage: http://www.expressindia.com/news/messages.php?newsid=41280 ] Digambar Kamat's "Ram rajya" talk is opportunistic at best. He ought to know better about the recent manner in which the BJP hard-core has been using this term; their Ram Rajya and its connotations in the 21st century certainly isn't the more humane version of Gandhi's in the 20th century.
