Guha also noted that Hindu fundamentalism is more threatening than Islamic terrorism in India. "The reason is within India, Hindus are 85 per cent. I am terrified at the thought of Hindu majoritarianism, because that is what we were not," said Guha, adding that Islamic terrorism is a dangerous phenomenon in the global scenario...

Stressing the need for conservative intellectuals in the country, Guha said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has failed to produce right-wing intellectuals. Calling the BJP as the most anti-intellectual party, he said that Golwalkar was a garden-variety bigot.

"BJP is the most anti-intellectual party and they failed to produce a single scholar in Gujarat after being in power for many years. You can't have spokespersons as Anupam Kher, Praveen Togadia or Smriti Irani, who will only drive discourse further into the mud. As long as the RSS has the role in the political dispensation, you will never get right-wing intellectuals, but you get right-wing ideologists," he said, adding that the RSS is a bunch of "low-level ideologues".

In my observation Hindus are peaceful. Guha clearly has a ridiculously amplified sense of imagination. 
He should stop imagining n being terrified.

Guha is an idiot. Obviously he hasn't lived in the Middle East and don't know what goes in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Syria and all other Gulf countries.
