No, Shiv. Going to a temple, performing a pooja, celebrating diwali
with family and friends are all perfectly fine non-right wing ways of
practicing Hinduism. It is when one gooseteps in khakhi shorts down
the road, when one claims that the Hindu civilization is 10,000 years
old, when one thumps on Herr Hegdewar's books and goes around burning
Christian families, etc., one gets identified as right wing. There are
millions of people who identify themselves as Hindus that do not do
any of the things I just mentioned that identify them as right wing.
