		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re on the cusp of leadership change within the BJP, says Pankaj Vohra in the Hindustan Times. It&#8217;s not all because of their poll debacle either. There&#8217;s a lot of simmering tension between the BJP and the Sangh as well, and not a little resentment that the BJP misrepresented its poll prospects to the motherfathership.

		<description><![CDATA[In Tehelka, Ashis Nandy argues that the BJP&#8217;s dependence on Hindutva was bound to be problematic. Instead of allowing their fundamentalist elements and loony right-wing aligned groups some minor acknowledgement, the BJP instead allowed the fringes to antagonise the party&#8217;s larger support base. The &#8220;Indian genius&#8221; was to allow contradictions, he says, citing the early [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hamaracongress.com&amp;blog=7341776&amp;post=466&amp;subd=votecongress&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The newly emerging middle class, which was the product of economic liberalisation, was the exact opposite of the Swadeshi Jagran Manch, another Parivar outfit, which opposed globalisation and Americanisation.
