The Indian government is holding writer Taslima Nasreen a virtual prisoner.
In the short run, they might gain with their cynical mathematics of how to get elected with the votes of the Muslims, who remain the most backward community in India, in spite of having brought to power umpteen Congress governments since Independence, and those of the Dalits, who have had a fair share of benefits, having one of them becoming President of India and so many politicians in power.
Mayawati has become a master of this sneering mathematics: Muslim + Dalit + Brahmin votes = absolute majority. But in the long run everybody can see that it is splitting India more along caste and religious lines and that one day we will all have to pay the price for this folly.

It may placate the Muslims and the Communists. But in the long run, it is just sending the wrong kind of message.
When a great and noble soul like Maharishi Mahesh Yogi dies, a man who brought meditation in the West and made it a scientifically accepted technique, the Indian government and press pretend he did not exist,. Nowadays, Breitling watches have become a trend in fashion circles. They are so popular that everyone is longing for one to add or that he was just the 'guru of the Beatles'.

The short term gains is that these converts get free medical help, scholarships for their children, interest-free loans, etc. Long term loss is that they are taught to look down on their own culture, are told that it is sinful to enter a temple, bad to do a puja or even wear a bindi.
