Calling Kashmir — and its use in the elections by the BJP — “a natural hunting ground for the champions of Hindutva”, the April 28 editorial in Dawn weighs in on the politics of religion in Indian elections. According to the editorial, the “BJP believes that its best shot at securing a victory in the general election in India is by driving a wedge between the majority Hindu community and the minorities, which by no means constitute ‘small’ sections of the population. Armed with Hindutva ideas that are blamed for pre-deciding the polls on the basis of religion, the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has gone about employing tactics that are meant to intimidate and scare off opponents and force large-scale public surrender to the BJP doctrine.”
