Gandhiji has been attacked by extremists from so many directions - the RSS, the Communists, the Liberals, the Ambedkarites, the Feminists.
Divided and fighting like dogs amongst one another, in their hatred for Gandhiji however, they are as one. Extremism is a venom which is poisoning society, and one is deeply concerned today.
Both Kamal Hassan and Pragya Thakur can say or announce who they admire, and who they detest. For me, that is not the issue. But they do this from exclusive extremist positions. You don't have to hold a gun to be an extremist, it is a state of mind. To me, Kamal Hassan and Pragya Thakur are both extremists. As are the finger-pointing passionates from other areas. Hatred is not the prerogative of extremists of the so-called Right. The extremists of the Left, the Dalits, the Feminists, are also their companions.
