What Badri Raina has written is not intriguing Mr Tharoor. It is total bunkum as every Wire article invariably is.
What is intriguing is your inability to realize it.
Every Indian has an equal claim to Matrubhumi.
But it is also true that Sanatan is the core of Bharat.
Has the Wire used the word "Matrubhumi" ? There is no Matrubhumi without Sanatan.
Bharat has three fundamental elements :
Our land (including our seas & our skies)
Our people
Our ancient Bharatiya civilization (sabhyata) that's older than history.
There can not be a Bharat without ethos of our ancient civilization and our Indian culture at its core.
What we get with land and people but without culture, our ancient sabhyata and civilizational values is a country of Barbarians and Jihadis like our western neighbour.
This western neighbour of ours has no culture left of its own and is celebrating a Turkish series these days.
This country has such deep identity crisis that it identifies itself more with Arabs & Turks and their culture with whom it has had no association.
The statement that did you utmost damage was the statement by a man who had said minorities had the first right to Indian resources. Statements like these have already made you irrelevant.
The more you come up with such drivel, the more irrelevant you will become and faster.
