PM Narendra Modi reaches Ramlila Maidan for Dussehra

In 2014 it was all about Acche din, development and ushering in a new India for the BJP while the congress battled with the chai wala storm, ultimately leading to the fall of the party which was branded elitist and accused of minority appeasement. As the 2019 battles heats up, a clear theme now is now coming to the forefront. The battle will be fought on the lines of Hindutva and Hindu pride. Amid the politics however, it'll be important to debate where to draw the line between embracing the Hindu identity and pride while ensuring that ugly politics of majoritarianism doesn't engulf the nation.
