[Part of the reason is that the secular/communal divide is not, as the Congress would like to believe, a divide between two species of Indian citizens: one secular and one communal. It is a fissure that runs within most citizens, rather than between them...The risks of running with the Congress’s construal of what constitutes secular politics are even higher... Pratap Bhanu Mehta Indian Express: Monday, December 24, 2007 8:14 AM]
[God did not declare who are “scheduled” to be in the SC/ST list or determine the cut off for “socially, economically, culturally or educationally” backward. It is a creation of man. Shruthi Rajagopalan]
[...real, most authoritative scripture is in the heart in which the Eternal has His dwelling. It is in our inner spiritual experiences that we shall find the proof and source of the world's Scriptures, the law of knowledge, love and conduct, the basis and inspiration of Karmayoga.

Pratap Bhanu Mehta has recorded his no-confidence in the Congress brand of secularism. Savitri Era party, therefore, is the only alternative. [TNM]
