Cultural Nationalism: The BJP is committed to the concept of "One Nation, One People and One Culture" ... Our nationalist vision is not merely bound by the geographical or political identity of Bharat but it is referred by our timeless cultural heritage. This cultural heritage which is central to all regions, religions and languages, is a civilizational identity and constitutes the cultural nationalism of India which is the core of Hindutva. This we believe is the identity of our ancient nation "Bharatvarsha"

Hindutva (is) consistent with the true meaning and definition of secularism ... Hindutva accepts as sacred all forms of belief and worship. The evolution of Hindutva in politics is the antidote to the creation of vote banks and appeasement of sectional interests. Hindutva means justice for all.

Ram Janmabhoomi movement for the construction of Shri Ram Mandir at Ayodhya (is) the greatest mass movement in post-Independence history; (it) reoriented the disoriented polity in India and strengthened the foundation of cultural nationalism.

The BJP is committed to facilitate the construction of a magnificent Shri Ram Mandir at Ram Janmasthan in Ayodhya where a makeshift temple already exists. Shri Ram lies at the core of Indian consciousness. The BJP will explore all consensual, legal and constitutional means to facilitate the construction of Shri Ram Mandir at Ayodhya.

Constitutional Reforms:

1. The BJP will appoint a Commission to comprehensively review the Constitution of India, in the light of the experience of the past 50 years and make suitable recommendations. The Commission will comprise constitutional experts and eminent parliamentarians.

2. The BJP will carve out Uttaranchal, Vananchal, Vidarbha and Chhattisgarh as separate States. Delhi will be given full Statehood.

3. The BJP will abrogate Article 370 of the Constitution. Commitment to Minorities: Towards Equal Opportunity and Prosperity

The BJP's concept of Positive Secularism is: Justice for All, Appeasement of None ... The minorities have been cynically used for the purpose of garnering votes these past 50 years, but their socio-economic problems have remained unattended. The true meaning of "secularism", equal respect for all faith - sarva panth samadar - has been perverted by the pseudo-secularists into appeasement of regressive elements.

The coming election provides a window of opportunity to the minorities to take a fresh look at the options that are available to them. They should not go blindly with the so-called "secular" parties that have done nothing to solve their real socio-economic problems. Instead, they should make a clean break with the past and support the BJP ... We offer - equal rights, equal opportunities, equal privileges and equal responsibilities. Above all, we have proved in the States where the BJP is in power that we can maintain communal peace and harmony; we can ensure security of life and property; and, we can protect the honour and dignity of the minority communities. In keeping with this commitment, we will:

1. Provide all minority communities with equal opportunities for prosperity;

2. Encourage access to education which is the key to social and economic progress;

3. Give all incentives to artisans, especially those involved in traditional arts and crafts;

4. Initiate special self-employment schemes and the requisite training programmes;

5. Launch community programmes for raising the level of awareness among women members of the minority communities and providing them with education.

6. Amend Article 30 of the Constitution suitably to remove any scope of discrimination against any religious community in matters of education;

7. Entrust the responsibilities of the Minorities Commission to the Human Rights Commission, thus providing greater protection to members of minority communities;

8. Set up special courts to try cases of communal violence and, if necessary, amend existing laws to provide for exemplary punishment to those inciting or taking part in communal or sectarian violence. The BJP's commitment is to create a riot-free India;

9. Protect Wakf properties from being usurped by unscrupulous individuals and help wakf boards to develop these properties for the welfare of poor Muslim families; and

10. Ban job advertisements which require applications to declare their religion.
