I don't blame all the Hindus. The extremist Hindu politicians have often overreached themselves and have been thrown out of power as a result, even though the majority of their constituents may be Hindus. But given the fact of some recent violence against Christians by Hindu extremists, kicking out nuns and closing a leper colony is, at the least, stupid politically.

In Bangalore, the Church which holds huge amounts of British-handed city-centre prime real estate
Not really -- the "Church" you refer to is the Church of South India which is affiliated to the Anglican Church. The Church referred to here is the CAtholic Church. Remember that the English were pretty anti-CAtholic, so they did not hand over things to the Catholic Church.
We BOTH may be right -- there would be a commercial AND demagogue aspect to this. Though, I think it will backfire on the Modi govt because no-one's going to think this is in any way good.
