The recent judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court uphold- ing contention urged by the appellants before it, belong- ing to Shiv Sena and B.J.P. to the effect that an appeal to the voters to vote for Hindutwa/Hinduism by itself does not amount to an appeal to vote on the 5round of religion which is a corrupt practice within the meaning of Section 123 of the Representation of People Act, 1951, constitutes the most important land mark in the history of our Democracy.
All those who consider that Hinduism or Hindutwa, repre- senting the sublime values of human life, alone is the remedy for the innumerable problems and evils which the Nation is facing in the political, economical and social fields, are extremely happy for the reason that the highest Court has rejected the argument that appeal to vote for Hindutwa was an appeal on the ground of religion and has upheld the argument that it was an ideological appeal.
On the other hand, the opponents of Hinduism are highly critical of the judgment on the ground that it encourages religious fundamentalism and are demanding that the judgment be reviewed.
This book is intended to place the facts in a correct perspective and to show that the judgment is unexception- able and will help re-establishing our National Identity and to find solutions to all our problems in the light of the noble and everlasting values of life evolved in this land from times immemorial.
