If the proponents of the saffron ethic thought that they could paint everyone with "Jai Shri Ram" then they better come to Vrindavan. There, in Uttar Pradesh, right under Kalyan Singh's thumb, the greeting is a soulful Radhe Radhe. Radha means worship and the name is of a cowherd maiden who is said to have been one of the favourite women friends of Krishna. When Krishna left Vrindavan for Mathura, she remained bereft in Vrindavan, and her waiting represents the angst of all humanity who still await the return of Krishna. "Radhe Radhe" reminds them of their eternal wait for the dark lord.
