Rediff was, arguably, the first Indian publication, online or otherwise, to unapologetically feature three very strong Hindu Right-wing voices of the time.

The Krishna Raja Sagara Dam project was politically & financially overwhelming. Visvesvaraya once threatened to quit if the Maharaja of Mysore didn't approve it.

It is correct. It was by virtue of these articles that I stopped feeling the deep sense of shame that I had felt for being a Hindu since my childhood. I began to understand that my identity was not a joke. So thank you ‘rediff on the net’.
Thank God for the Internet. By the 90s, all traditional media outlets in India were eating from the palm of the congress-communist parties and were part of that ecosystem that deliberately kept the Hindus splintered and demonized. One could argue that it is still true of most of the traditional media – after all, the editors of such media owe their careers to the political patronage received from the Congress party early on in their careers. The narrative of the state education in India has been that if you are a Hindu, you have to be ashamed of yourself because of the caste system and there is nothing else about Hinduism except the caste system. The internet gave voice to the Hindus and for the first time allowed educated Hindus to feel like it was ok to feel good about their Hindu identity; sure their society is not perfect, but they can fix the iniquities; the core philosophy of Hinduism is something to practice and protect. True democracy started in India only after the arrival of the internet.

There seems to be a tendency to show only one part of the story, the part which suits so called authors these days.
