Dr. Dibyesh Anand observes : When we closely observe the political developments in India, Turkey and Egypt, we note that the majority of intellectuals, journalists, commentators, bureaucrats and academics are neither secularist nor fascist nor Islamist nor Hindutva. They are opportunists and suckers for power. They will sing songs in praise of secularism if secularists are in power, they will discover piety and merits in public religiosity and cheerlead that when anti-secularists are in power, they will praise virtues of democracy and next day talk of the need for a strong leader. Their only ideology is one that is meant to minimise cost of dissent, maximise benefits from being close to power
