Description
Summary:[...] a myth is something that is not true, just a made up story. Later on it became a political movement, a political party, but in the 19th century it propagated a vision of India as fulfilling the unique historic task of guiding humankind.\n Later on, when he got into power, he tortured, killed, or drove into exile or drove underground every constitutionalist, every democrat, communist, and others who supported that secular democratic government. In it I note that Randall Terry got up before a fundamentalists audience and he said: "Let a wave of intolerance wash over you, we don't want equal time, we don't want pluralism, and we want control of this society in the name of Jesus Christ."
