This is a no-brainer as far as I am concerned. BJP of course. Modi Ji has done the unexpected, the unbelievable and the incomparable. The list of his achievements is too long for me to even start, will leave that to others more capable. All I can say is that as an NRI and a Hindu, I can hold my head...

More rubbish from the Bu11$hit Corporation by one Tony Joseph, Brown Sepoy #2. Note - uses Hindu Right wing/Nationalist 9 times in this article, amply displaying his bias. Trying very hard to sell his crappy book.

Agree. I have been a donor in the past but realized that their content is somewhat dubious and at times plainly Hinduphobic. The only time somebody pays attention to you is when you control their financial well being.

Books are a great way to teach. Most of my understanding came from them right from the teens.
