What the B.J.P. advocates officially seems mild -- an end to Muslim personal law in civil matters and restrictions on religious schools for all minorities. But in practice, B.J.P. workers are full of hatred for Muslims and regularly provoke violent confrontations. Says Qari Moinuddin, a Muslim politician in Jaipur: "They meet you on the street and say, 'Long Live Rama...
