NRIs, the most voluble citizens of cyberspace, are shifting gear from their interminable Hindu-Muslim battles to the elections. A priceless post on the Usenet newsgroup soc.culture.indian, where issues relating to India8217;s society and culture are thrashed out, from someone who calls himself Sid Harth:
8220;I told you that the most vicious enemies of my brother Atal Behari Vajpayee are not Muslims, not Shudras or Christians 8212; the Commies perhaps 8212; but it is egalitarian Socialists who have pitched their ramshackle tents in Atal8217;s territory. Is that some kind of good news?8221; George should be beside himself with such attention from unexpected quarters.
Similar black humour has been brought to bear on Sonia: 8220;Sonia asked Congressmen to revive the Quit India spirit. So she should get out first.8221;
The analysis of Hindutva which initially appeared on bjp.org is replicating faster than the Internet Worm. It begins thus, ambitiously: 8220;In the history of the world, the Hindu awakening of the late 20thcentury will go down as one of the most monumental events.8221; Frankly, we heard you the first time.
