The purpose of the campaigns was to "unite" Hindu society against perceived threats
from internal and external "enemies" who are conspiring to weaken it. The campaign
rhetoric was familiar enough. Perpetrators of Islamic terrorism (the external threat)
have willing agents within the country (the internal threat) to execute their designs.
Violence in defence of `Hindu honour', resorted to by a resurgent Hindu society, is not
only necessary but must be celebrated. The Ram temple must be constructed in
Ayodhya, and the Bababudangiri shrine in Karnataka must be made a Hindu place of
worship. Both the campaigns were cemented by hate speech and offensive humour
that targeted minority groups in the country and the secular forces that back them (see
box). The ruling Congress(I)'s response to the challenge posed by this aggressive
Hindutva campaign has been politically and administratively weak and uncertain.
Neither as a political party nor as a party in government did the Congress(I) act to
bring an element of reassurance to those sections of the populace who had reason to
feel threatened by this strident and hostile campaign. In the case of the Hindu
Samajotsava, the mobilisation for the event had started weeks in advance with a
systematic public contact campaign by the VHP and other Hindutva organisations in
Bangalore. As the day drew near, the city was ablaze with saffron. Buntings, flags and
banners festooned the streets and sidewalks, while intimidating slogans called upon
the faithful to unite.
