Those who follow India closely are aware that a political churn is taking place in the country. Secularism as an ideology has taken a different meaning and the debate around it is not as much between the majority and minority communities now but within Hindus in the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to lead an ideology that finds its ardent supporters and detractors across India. In state after state, one sees regional leaders with more than three to four decades of grass roots-level experiences and long established political careers joining the BJP and declaring support for Modi.
While critics claim that many of them are “surrendering to the BJP” because some of them face financial or criminal cases, it may not be the case with all. In Gujarat, some of those who have crossed over from Congress to the BJP enjoy solid credibility and have been championing people’s causes for decades.
