I think I would join in resistance - it's just, in my thinking, the non-liberal character of the BJP is not the problem. I don't think a liberal resistance centered around classic enlightenment values (secularism, etc) would work - and if it did work, I don't think it would have an enduring effect.
I'm not really sure of how you would go about fighting back - but I just feel like liberalism is really flawed when it comes to divided societies. The whole secularism/universalism idea really quickly becomes a cover for the dominant group to pretend that their values are secular, and their beliefs are universal. Which is why you get crucifixes in Bavarian classrooms, but it's impossible to get planning permission to build a mosque.
