The fundamentalism of Hinduism lies in the belief that man is essentially divine and there exist freedom of ways to follow in the life of live and let live. This is what a Hindu believes in. The media calling the Hindu majority party as fundamentalist in the spirit of equating it with other fundamentalist religious parties is ill-founded.
One can'thelp observe their bias against Hindus in their news reporting or coining phrases for the Hindutva forces. The most glaring example is of the Hindutva forces being referred to as ?Hindu fundamentalist?.
The Congress and the Communists can share power in the name of secularism even though they have little in common. The enemy of both is the Hindutva forces and to keep them at bay secularism is exploited to the hilt.
