It took me many years to get over it and build an enlightened view, which has led me now to believe that the BJP might be the more menacing devil at present, esp. in light of the communal violence it has induced in the last few years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23862056.post-35036317453884216582009-03-27T13:00:00.000+05:302009-03-27T13:00:00.000+05:30well, building temples was as good a reason as sar...well, building temples was as good a reason as sarojini naidu being in congress. hope the guy knows better now.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07822005755083904421noreply@blogger.com
