The
INDIA TODAY-ORG-MARG State of the Nation poll indicates that
concerns over terrorism and security are generating a Hindu
backlash. Ironically, the BJP is only a modest gainer from the
phenomenon while the Congress is a loser. Our poll indicates
that this backlash does not stop at adopting a hawkish posture
on Pakistan. It extends to support for the contentious issue
of the construction of the temple in Ayodhya. This growing aggressiveness
will have consequences not only in elections, but also on the
future of Indian politics.
