Chadditva on the web...

The fundamental philosophy of any political party is exhibited by what can be termed as its lowest common denominator -- the hardcore fanatics of that party.

Most Indian political chatboards on the internet are swarming with such characters. A glimpse into what the chat board warrior ultimately resorts to as the ultimate argument to win a debate IS THE CORE belief of that party.

Chip away at the chadditva warrior's points logically and systematically, and what you arrive at are a few core points:

a) India is the world's greatest country.
b) Hindus are god's gift to humanity.
c) Non-Hindus, especially Muslims, are "outsiders"
d) Outsiders must be just where they belong -- "outside India"
e) If they remain in India, they must acknowledge Hindu supremacy.

All these are wrapped up in the more palatable and marketable rhetoric of:

a) Hindus are mistreated.
b) Development
c) We wanna be a superpower
d) Gomatha and Gomooth Cola
e) Ram
