What is needed is party with more difference. A party which is truly rightist – an unflinching supporter of liberal economic reforms, economic freedom, consumer rights and consumer benefit, over the benefit of MPs, bureaucrats and other interest groups. A party which is secular in the true sense of the word – one which avoids the fraud that has been pursued in the name of secularism and minority rights by the “secular” parties of today, one which seeks to make India secular both on paper and in practice (today’s India is secular on paper and multireligious and favouritist in practice) by strict separation of state and religion. A party which is libertarian – one which would espouse individual freedom in the true sense, one which would avoid bans at the drop of a hat both to please itself and please the minorities, one which would understand that society, culture and religion are not the state’s business.
Atlantean makes the case for a new political party.
