Then what about these guys????

Sankar:

Indian law and practice prohibit any political party from seeking votes in an election based on appeals to religion...

I am not a Indian constitutional scholar or anything but.....

What about the Muslim League and RSS? I know Muslim League (the very name implies that they are a religious party if nothing else) is a legitimate party in Kerala and has won many seats and their candidates have occupied many state ministerial positions.

RSS,I don't know what their political 'manifesto' says but they certainly act like some sort of parochial thugs at least in Bombay.I could be wrong but this what I hear.

BJP-Though they don't profess to be a religious party and their 'manifesto' doesn't say they are but they certainly project an impression that they are a 'Hindu' party and some of their members blatantly say so in public.I don't know may be this is the result of bad PR work or may be there is a faction in the party who are really Hindu nationalists and don't mind this label.

PS:The letter writing campaign is good but it is not going do anything as the media normally parrot the administrations line of thinking regardless of what the reality is,but if nothing else it certainly is a feel-good measure.
