Most politicians do not seem to have any reservations on expressing their contra-opinions on religious matters but it is curious that they do so only on matters pertaining to Hinduism. Why are they not so outspoken when it comes to, say, Islam? Does this reflect their cowardice or does it indicate that Hindus are a tolerant people and you can get away with saying anything about Hinduism?
