Folks,
May I suggest that the roots of this polarization (in recent times at least) go a little further back. The one event that sticks in memory is Uma Bharti's flag ceremony in Hampi (remember when S M Krishna said you cannot unfurl the National flag at Hampi as it was not - you guessed it - 'secular')
I think that event more than anything started the polarization process. Rajeev - hate to say it but i think the article you posted overstates the case. The Sangh Parivar is still organisationally weak in Karnataka. If people vote BJP it's because Kannadigas (and I would dare to venture that even some Muslims amongst them) are probably more conscious of their Hindu-ness than most in the South (I can hear the Tamil Brigade coming to lynch me - I mean no disrespect guys - I just mean that the Kannadigas are more conscious than most)
