If you are wearing western attire and moving about the streets of Delhi who protects you, it is the people of India. India is a democracy and the government can function only if they are chosen by the people. Whatever politicians might be they know that they are answerable to the people and are ruling with peoples' mandate. Day by day we are moving forward, are we doing so by subjugating the masses? Our former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi tried to play the despot and lost the next election, she learned the lesson and corrected herself. Polly Taliban does not exist here , some people are trying to do that in the name of culture and are unsuccessful. Do the majority in India want fundamentalism, surely not!
