The expanding global conflict between the Right Wing and Liberals has taken the shape of sectarian conflict. In the US, it is between the evangelistic Christian Right and the liberal world of academia, art, entertainment, gender equality and culture. As Liberals struggle with the Hindu Rashtra concept, the American White Christian Right has declared war on liberalism. The rise of White Christian Nationalism in the West is a response to immigration just like the Indian Right defines Muslims as invaders-turned-immigrants. When the conservative ethos becomes too rigid and unipolar, liberal reform storms the gates of inflexible faith.
