the real responsibility lies with the failure of the Congress Party to establish a national secural identity in which the poor were linked to a nation state rather than to a religious identity

Not an unreasonable thesis, and one with some inherent validity, though - like anything that can be so briefly stated - it certainly doesn't cover the whole territory.

Slightly amusing to me, because I just posted very similar comments about Pakistan, to the effect that the rise of Islamic politics has been enabled by the grotesquely inefficient governing style of the dominant traditional elites.
