Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a man in a hurry. He is in a hurry to demolish the Indian State that 15 governments before this BJP-led dispensation had built painstakingly. This was a State unique among nation-states for its tolerance, and easy accommodation of diversity -- religious, ethnic, or linguistic -- and the freedom it gave to its diverse people to build their futures within its boundaries.
