Bhaktophobia

(This is a MaxiPost)

Campaigns of calumny:

If you are a collector or buyer or seller of second-hand websites or domain names then I have good news for you. The following domain name has gone into a parking lot and is now available to you:

If you’re wondering what that website was all about; it was created by the vicious hate-monger Shabnam Hashmi & Co to spew lies against Modi, his colleagues and his supporters. Why? Because they could not combat the powerful force of the Internet Hindus who put out facts on most issues – political, economic and social. The IH combatted the lies and fakery of the Congress and their supporters with great success. And they also started dismantling the lies in Indian history bit by bit. It’s not just me; even the TOI reported the site as “Modi-haters”:

Since the site is now sick and dead you might wonder what content they posted. They posted all fake pics about Modi and Gujarat and each time the BJP supporters exposed them naked. Some of the stuff they posted is available in this post of mine. Now, surely someone must have funded these idiots. It doesn’t take Einstein to figure who was funding them and their campaign of LIES. When morons cannot battle the IH with facts they resort to lies. It doesn’t cost anything to speak the truth, peddling lies costs money. Having lost LS2014, the IH are now referred to as “Bhakts” – the folks who are devoted admirers and supporters of PM Modi. And according to the Sickular folks these Bhakts, in India or abroad, are a great threat to the nation. They must be destroyed. So what do we do? We do exactly what www.pheku.in did; run another campaign of lies.

The Scroungers:

“I don’t want Narendra Modi to be my PM” repeated Amartya Sen again a few days ago. A man who was given a phenomenal amount of money, who indulged in nepotism is now whining and complaining about govt interfering in academic freedom. Such is the crass entitlement-culture of Commies who have destroyed India. He is 81, and should have never been given the assignment of re-establishing the glorious Nalanda University. What he created was worse than the ruins of a glorious seat of learning. Far from being an academic, AS has been more into politics and spewing anti-Modi nonsense for years now. When asked to account for funds he threw a tantrum like a 4-year old:

Such arrogance! That no one can ask him for accountability and he should be able to run an institution like his private kingdom. These are the scroungers who live on public money and then complain about the Bhakts who scoff and troll them for their thuggery. Learned minds like TheJaggi and Minhaz Merchant have written a detailed account of AS’ snobbery and hypocrisy – a man who claims to think about the poor while he lives like a king on public money. And after all his nonsense he claims he quit Nalanda as he didn’t want to obstruct the functioning of the Board. Load of rubbish! His tenure is ending but he should have been SACKED a year ago.

But the Sickulars and Commies claim AS is being abused by Twitter trolls and Bhakts who are referred to as fanatics. Fanatics? Abused? So if his hypocrisy, incompetence and irresponsibility are questioned and established with facts that is abuse? That is why I support this tweet that slams the hypocrisy of media:

Even the Sickulars know AS is nothing more than a scrounger but admitting it will amount to confessing their own miserable life of hypocrisy and scrounging on public money. They get PAID to peddle LIES even when facts stare them in the face. Truth costs nothing. He was charged with establishing one single university and he failed and this AS was supposedly a great economist advising GOI. Laughable! And most of his time in India was spent on nothing but spewing political nonsense in print and TV. Can you imagine our IIM directors doing that all the time? And the Bhakts don’t miss the irony either as this Tweeter comically put it:

The Scaredy Chicks:

Imagine if Sachin Tendulkar had refused to play a Test series against Australia because Glenn McGrath was constantly bowling around the off-stump and Shane Warne was making huge turns from the leg stump. What would you think of him?

You don’t get to pick your opponents! You don’t get to pick umpires!

But that’s not how it works for the “Scaredy Chicks” in the Sickular media and establishment. There is a usual set of Commie pimps, which I often refer to as G-37, which floats around channels like experts to offer the same mundane nonsense night after night. Some exceptions in the G-37 are people like Swapan Dasgupta, Ashok Malik and so on who are BJP members or sympathisers. But the little “Nehru Dumplings” are scared of even this evident minority in public discourse. Here’s little Hartosh Singh Bal getting all worked up over SwapanD being invited to share a “Nehru platform”:

Look at the group of Congress cronies assembled by the organisers for this discussion on Nehru – There’s MSAiyar, Kumar Ketkar, Aakar Patel and Bal. All of them are described as “Eminent”. Eminent what? Eminent bootlickers? All of them are anti-Modi (and among these MSA is the most filthy abuser in public but he’s a darling for them) but Bal has a problem with SwapanD being on the forum because he is sympathetic to the current govt and so on. That is his fear? Obviously, Bal is incapable of combating SD on issues with logic and so the whining excuses to ban him. On SM this is what Bhakts do to the moron Sickulars and when the Sickos cannot combat them with facts or equal amount of ridicule or sarcasm they cry “ abuse” and play victim. Sob! Sob! And these bitchy Sickos are not anti-Modi on some issue or policy, they are genetically anti-Hindu and connect Modi with that. They screamed against Yoga, they call SwachBharat a nautanki and there are extreme scumbaginis who even ranted against the simple, innocuous idea of #SelfieWithDaughter.

They first indulge in fake bravado, indulge in chest-thumping and when they get knocked out by the Bhakts, they cry “Mummmmmyyy… abuse, abuse”. I can only laugh! And here’s the duffer Bal who even wants to ridicule Modi’s launch of DD Kisan out of sheer ignorance:

So little Bal thought Modi took a year to announce DDKisan in May this year when he was actually “launching” it and the announcement was made last year in July 2014. Oh well! If you point out his fact-less stupidity and prejudiced mind – You are abusing him! The MSM as whole and a good number of jaundiced individuals in the media have been exposed over and over again for their lies, misquotes, spin and what not. They are tired! They don’t know how to deal with these pests called “Bhakts”. Post LS2014 they have even lost their relevance with the govt as there are no freebies, no joyrides and no Golgappas. Every night they collect some 4-5 panellists to trash 1 or 2 BJP panellists out of sheer frustration. And on the SM they continue to be battered. Desperate situations call for desperate measures – Time to call in a guy to do the WhackJob.

The English Hitman:

In just the previous post I had mentioned about the continuous hitjobs being carried out by NDTV and TimesNow against certain BJP ministers. And there are now vigilantes and Twitter-police to do hitjobs on the Bhakts on Twitter and SM. As with the case of that Pheku site such operations are not free – somebody funds them to carry out the hitjobs. But they needed a convert to peddle lies through a bigger vehicle. So enter Chetan Bhagat with a blog in TOI slamming Bhakts as abusers, trolls, poor in English and so on. He even adds that girls like dating boys who speak good English. Profound! And that these Bhakts are “sexually frustrated males” who can’t speak English so they attack and abuse on SM. Just one collection of tweets is enough to tell you how moronic CB is that he overturns everything he has said in the last five years or so:

Such a dramatic U-turn to trash those who don’t speak English cannot be without a price. CB is a successful writer and I always wish any writer to be successful. But so far the Commie-liberal clan scoffed at him and his writings. They thought lowly of him and  probably gave him an inferiority complex. His publishers are the “Desi” Rupa Publications whereas in contrast even the C5M has publishers like Harper Collins. CB would hardly get invited to LitterFests and even there the Scotch Circuit would have made him feel inferior. He wasn’t part of the “in crowd”. I can’t put my finger on it but something must have snapped inside him enough to be lured to the other side and become a moronic Sickular type writer which made him write his stupid blog. None of his claims have any logic, reason or data to back with.

CB probably even expected that the Bhakts will shower abuse on him for writing that article. On the contrary, they just picked up many of his old tweets and articles to show a mirror to him and expose his school-boy idiocy and hypocrisy. CB tasted the same blood that failed Commie-Fiberals have tasted – Facts and quotes from their own history. And why do I estimate this comes with a price? Just read this tweet and you will wonder Mother Teresa has been reincarnated in CB:

Unfortunately, they have already executed Kasab or this moron would have signed the mercy petition for him also. After all, that is the trait of Commie Fiberals – welcome to their world CB! Now, there have to be benefits attached. It is difficult to publish a book in India even otherwise but even harder if you want a top-brand publisher. The doors of those houses are open only to Commie Fiberals – Penguin, Harper-Collins and so on. You cannot get in unless another Commie Fiberal gives you a certificate. Like I said earlier even the C5M has Harper while CB is stuck with Rupa. And international publishers means more copies, including Hard Cover, and invites to international LitterFests, readings and so on.

The best way to find success in this club is to abuse Hindus, call Bhakts generally as abusers, vilify Modi (a stage CB hasn’t reached yet) and you have arrived. Look up most of the Sickular writers – most of them have abused even Hindu Gods and Goddesses to be rewarded with contracts. I wonder if CB wants to go there. To try and make an ordinary point CB abused the entire lot of Modi supporters putting them in one single basket – especially as males. There are many female Bhakts too. CB has added an extra dimension to this as well – he has found Bhakts to be sexually frustrated because they don’t speak English. Haha! Far from abusing CB, the Bhakts retaliated with a collection all his tweets from the past to show a mirror to him. In the end CB ended up the way most Sickulars end up – looking like a thoroughbred field rat drenched in heavy rain.

Bhaktophobia:

So called Bhakts do not occupy space in the MSM – neither in print nor on TV. Yet, the most whining and abuses come from the MSM. In one stroke Chetan Bhagat abused all the so called Bhakts. He even assumes Bhakts are only males, which is a moronic preclusion. There are many women who are Bhakts too. Sitting on the perch of their media platform these criminals abuse everyone including the PM as this article from NDTV after a group of Tweeple met the PM:

You call your opponents Bhakts, Trolls and whatever you want but as a media house you even ridicule the PM for holding an event with a group of people? How deep is your hatred? What kind of upbringing do these criminals have? And there are abusers from across the spectrum – BJP, Congress, AAP and so on. The problem is that the MSM goons are AAPCong doormats and the MSM has not been able to withstand the scrutiny by SM. Their lies are being systematically dismantled every single day. The other undeniable fact is a vast majority of the so-called Bhakts are Hindus, most of them decently educated and many of them very highly educated. They are able to dissect the nonsense of MSM or their opponents on SM, put it out, add a dash of humour and sarcasm which their opponents are unable to combat. And when they are unable to combat this they start playing victim and finally claim abuse. It doesn’t work anymore.

In their quest to retain their Commie culture the Sickulars have not even spared Hindu Gods and Goddesses. They have abused Ram, Sita, Ganesh and other icons and the Bhakts are expected to tolerate their nonsense? One Commie Pig even equated Yoga with dog postures. I know an extremely abusive female journo who couldn’t win a Twitter battle with a man. She went on to stalk the TL of his daughter and abuse the young girl. Other Sickos have even brought in employers of some people. Such is the viciousness of the Sickos. The awful truth is that since the LS2014 elections the Sickular folks have faced more defeats and are facing a serious crisis of identity. There is a pattern in this coordinated attack on the “Bhakts” and someone or some entity is surely pouring a huge amount of funds into it. They probably fear their survival and thus all the signs of Bhaktophobia emanating from them. 

Littering Minds

Bill Gates did say: "My kids will have computers of course, but they will have books first”. I am blessed to have been born in a family that had a very large library. All kinds of books and all kinds of music too. I grew up on a diet of books and music. It was probably one of the largest private libraries around my neighbourhood. From Indian classics to western ones, from politics to drama, from serious novels to the Panchatantra. As a youngster I read Swami Vivekananda, western classics, Panchatantra and, of course, Asterix too. I firmly believe my education would have been incomplete without the Panchatantra and Asterix. Then we had music. From Chitti Babu’s Veena to George Harrison’s guitar riff. From Lalgudi Jayaraman to Yehudi Menuhin. From Bollywood soundtracks to western rock and classic. Music has always remained with me. Why am I telling you all this? I just want to warn you for the record: I am not “Tone-Deaf”. Not that Girish Karnad (GK) has a problem with me.

Somewhere in that large crowd of books was also V.S. Naipaul’s (VSN) “Area of darkness”. It also had Girish Karnad’s “Hayavadana”. I’ve read neither of them but I know what Hayavadana is about and through reviews and news reports I’m also aware a bit about what Naipaul writes. In short, I know a litter bit about both. I don’t read as many books now except for some quick reads during travel. I have a good excuse for this. After all didn’t Albert Einstein say: “Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking”. You see? I’ve taken Einstein seriously but not everyone has; especially not GK. His thinking has been lazy for 10 long years as good old Einstein suggests. So GK comes out with an ugly burst of anger and diatribe against VSN in a Litterfest that was also meant to honour the latter with a lifetime award. And his problem? Its VSN got this award, is anti-Muslim or not secular like him. Er.. make that a “professional secularist” as GK likes to call himself. Also that VSN got a Nobel Prize in 2001.

The accusation GK makes against VSN is that in all his books he has never mentioned Indian music. Then the other one is that VSN is anti-Muslim, that VSN blames Muslims for destroying Hindu culture. Okay! Now whether a writer chooses to mention music or not is really no big deal. So I’ll just throw that nonsense back into GK. The second point is that VSN is probably one of those writers who has challenged and annoyed the glorious Commie writers of Indian history. Our school text books will tell you how glorious those Mughal rulers were and how much they contributed to Hindu culture. VSN just started talking about what those school books didn’t tell people. Nowhere in the world has an invasion by an alien culture and religion invaded a part of the world and caused so much death, havoc and destruction of everything that the locals valued. The problem for GK is that more people are openly talking about it than ever before. It threatens the very survival of people like him and those who follow a political ideology similar to his. I had predicted on Saturday, November 3 that our TV channels, particularly NDTV and CNN-IBN, will try to wash the sins of GK. And they didn’t fail. 

To even suggest that because we speak of and lampoon the crimes of Muslim invaders and that is hate for muslims is something only extra-ordinary idiots can conjure up. Fact is nobody is holding present day Muslims in anyway responsible for any of those historical crimes. And did those violent invaders manage to destroy Hindu culture? It’s probably the only culture that Islamic invasion has never managed to wipe out; not even by a sensible measure. If they had managed that India today would be an Islamic republic. We would have been a Pakistan. The true problem lies with “fake secularism”. Secularists like GK and many others have militantly advocated that muslim crimes must be covered up or muslims should be treated with a higher priority than others. Even MMS has stated that they have the “first right” to resources. This indeed is the present day problem with Muslim appeasement. If you protest this appeasement, if you seek uniform civil code, if you seek equal treatment of all Indians you are likely to be branded “Communal, fascist, hater”. This is the political trick that GK plays on everyone.

Instead of discussing his political trickery our TV channels are foolishly discussing a battle between GK Vs VSN when VSN has not even joined the battle. Like a wise man VSN has simply ignored the idiotic outburst of GK. The other important thing to note that is our Litterfests are no different from our Page 3 characters. There’s jealousy, there’s back-biting, there’s bitching and, in more soapy cases, open slandering. That VSN got the Nobel Prize is probably bothering and upsetting GK. It’s a prize that is recognised and valued across the world. What about GK? Well, he is mostly decorated with awards from the establishment and the govt of India. He should be happy. He’s got the Padma awards and that places him in the august company of the likes of Teesta Setalvad; so why crib about some LitterFest award? Even Anil Dharker, a small time writer and director of the Litterfest, claims he’s “secular” because he fights 200 cases against Narendra Modi. Wow! I guess we can now have ‘secular justice’ and ‘communal justice’.

There is absolutely no problem with whatever GK had to say about VSN or his writings. He can spew as much hatred as he wants. Of course, it doesn’t fool anybody but the commie media morons are thrilled. Make no mistake, humiliating a person in a function where he or she is to be presented an award not only reflects poor professional culture but also smacks of a serious lack of character. My mind goes back to Stephen King’s horror movie “Carrie”. Being an odd one out, her jealous and bitchy college friends don’t want Carrie to win the ‘prom queen’ award as she had bagged the best boyfriend around. Predictably, Carrie wins the award but the bitches have already set their revenge in place. As she stands on the stage with her prize, a huge bucket full of pig’s blood is rained on Carrie, drenching her from head to toe in red filthy blood. In the horror that follows Carrie uses her telekinetic skills to set the whole hall on fire and burns everybody to death. Fortunately, in GK’s case no such horror befell him but he was no different from the bitches in Carrie and has as much pig’s blood on his hands. The only consequence GK faces is that he is now looked down upon as a very petty, pathetic figure and will not command the same respect as before. He may possibly not care.

The other reason why many are so worked up over VSN appears to be the international acclaim he has achieved, at least GK does. In slamming VSN, Karnad even quotes Salman Rushdie commenting on VSN winning the Nobel prize: “A fellow traveller of fascism who disgraces the Nobel prize”. And GK is quoting him because he calls VSN anti-Muslim. Where can you really find a moron like him? Muslims world-wide have actually called Rushdie a muslim-hater, anti-Islamic and have put a bounty on his head. No Muslim anywhere in the world has called VSN a muslim-hater or Islam-hater or put a bounty on his head except probably our very own “professional secularists”. Now, the typical secularist will argue that the bounty on Rushdie has no merit. Well dear secularists such hatred and bounty on VSN’s head, particularly in a function honouring him has no merit either. If he writes crap, you speak crap and maybe write crap too. So save the crap exchange!

I had long back thought that these petty literary figures are nothing more than those petty bitches in Carrie. They hate anyone else being successful or applauded. Does that explain why they look down on someone like Chetan Bhagat? I haven’t read a single book of Chetan Bhagat but I have to say that he is an extraordinarily successful writer. Forget that he may never win a Nobel or any award at all. In an interview with Arnab Goswami prior to the release of his book on Revolution, if that’s the name, there is one stunning fact that CB revealed. The first print run for that book was 5 lakh copies. Have you ever heard of that in India? 5 lakh copies? At the very least CB has taken the reading habit farther than any pompous litterer like GK or VSN. Increasingly, these so called Litterfests seem to be becoming more and more a gather of littering minds, not literary minds. The garbage they leave behind takes a lot of cleaning up. 

Loonies In The Box

I haven’t read any book by Chetan Bhagat for the simple reason that no one has gifted me any of his books. I have no intention of buying one either. Well, I’ve made my “position” on the issue clear and I doubt I would bother reading highly intellectual stuff. That should satisfy Arnab Goswami. “You are either with this absurdity that is going on or against it”. What’s your position? That is the challenge Justice Arnab throws up to panelists over the Salman Rushdie issue and many other issues. (What is really wrong with this man?) Somewhere in the middle of Arnab’s 90 minute Newshour (January 23) on TimesNow Chetan Bhagat asked the most important question on the show: “Why are lunatics on the Newshour"? Arnab quickly responded by stating there are no lunatics on the Newshour, just honourable men and women. Er.. with the exception of one. And that is Arnab himself. To call him a moderator of debates would be exceptionally charitable. He out-screams and shuts out every panellist, his arms fly all over and the number of times he asks someone to “take a position” I wonder if he wouldn’t be better off discussing the Kama Sutra instead of the Rushdie issue. It’s hard to blame Arnab alone for being the lunatic. He is one among many loonies in the media. What Arnab does not appreciate is that the Govt of India has indeed taken a position on the issue; that of “lunatics”.

Here’s what the TOI writes in an editorial called “Stop the hate” about religious zealots in Kashmir: “For the past few weeks, a Christian priest and foreign NGOs have been targeted for seeking to persuade Muslim youth to give up their faith in return for liquor, women and money. One priest, Pastor Chander Mani Khanna, had to appear before a sharia court to defend himself against charges of proselytization ……The state government has remained on the sidelines when it should have ensured protection to the victims of the hate campaign”. That’s funny! Since when has concern for victims of hate been a priority for the Govt? Mind you, the piece talks about frivolous evidence and govt inaction but it doesn’t wonder why a sharia court is in operation in the first place. Forget govt protection against religious zealots, what is currently evident is that the govt itself is the zealot. Also, entities TOI refers to as ‘victims’ in Kashmir are happily practicing the same trade in many other states in India where Hindus instead of Muslims are their prey. It is just that other states do not have sharia courts yet.

From the time the Rushdie controversy erupted the centre and the Rajasthan govt have kept muslim passions played up and electoral points are scored in UP and elsewhere. As the final instalment in their plan they even cooked up stories of paid assassins out to kill Rushdie. The Mumbai police have even denied the existence of any such plot or assassins. Even if that were to be true one has to wonder why no suspects were rounded up in the face of such strong intelligence. Interestingly, dealing with the victim is what Rushdie explained in his letter to Rajiv Gandhi on his book being banned. Firstpost has reproduced that letter (excerpts):

“This really is astounding. It is as though, having identified an innocent person as a likely target for assault by muggers or rapists, you were to put that person in jail for protection. This is no way, Mr Gandhi, for a free society to behave ….. I deeply resent my book being used as a political football; what should matter to you more than my resentment is that you come out of this looking not only Philistine and anti-democratic but opportunistic.” Has anything changed since that time in 1988? Nothing! Instead, the zealots in the govt have only gotten worse in their opportunistic football.

In all of this the biggest and most evil misuse is that of the police force. It has become another football in the whole episode and will continue to be misused. Abhinav Kumar, apparently a very disturbed IPS officer, writes about the police tragedy thus in the DNA:

“What then accounts for this equally remarkable and consistent display of cowardice by our police forces? Speaking from some experience, all it would have taken for Rushdie to attend the Jaipur Literature Festival was for a senior police officer in Jaipur to reassure the organisers and Rushdie of their support and issue a stern warning to all those threatening violence and take suitable preventive measures. Instead, we are told the local police leaned on the organisers to ask Rushdie to stay away and allegedly backed it up by encouraging rumours of paid assassins being dispatched from Mumbai, something the Mumbai police denied. What is beyond doubt is that the top leadership of Rajasthan police preferred to stay silent and the forces of bigotry and obscurantism had a field day. Ask any senior officer and they have a stock answer. ‘Our first priority is to maintain law and order.’ Even if it means turning a blind eye to illegal behaviour by gangs of goons paying lip service to some extreme ideology on the right or left of the political spectrum, or promoting some bigoted vision of ethnic pride or religious hatred? What is the point of maintaining such law and order? Contrast this apathy with the alacrity with which the police will respond if one tries to shout slogans or show a black flag at a rally featuring any of our political bigwigs. Regarded as a major ‘breach of security’ and a grave professional lapse, the offender will be quickly rounded up and made to feel the full force of the law, often quite literally while the police officers on duty may well face disciplinary action for this ‘dereliction’ of duty”. Sure, along with the goons in govt and on TV, the police forces have also become lunatics.

As of now not only has Salman Rushdie withdrawn from the Jaipur Litfest but also the video conferencing has been called off by the organisers as the Rajasthan police once again feared a “law and order” situation. But for the mullahs in the govt opportunity always knocks twice. This time, American comedian Jay Leno is the focus of affection. Leno cracks some poor joke about the ‘Golden Temple’ being a summer house for presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and our govt wants an apology from him. Comedians in the US lampoon every politician and every religion and the US First amendment protects their free speech. It’s nothing new. One can understand Sikhs protesting as a group but why does it need the govt to interfere? Well, in all the noise about Rushdie, Muslims and UP elections it is quite easy to forget there are elections in Punjab too and such an opportunity to stand up for Sikh sentiments is truly a gift for the govt.

As for the media, in the last stages of the Jaipur event they were mostly on stage giving political speeches. And why not? Most of their nightly debates are laced with their own political persuasions and theatre rather than any concern for real issues. Rajdeep Sardesai tweets: “Sikhs target Jay Leno, Hindus Husain, Muslims Rushdie. Guess we are 'sensitive' people after all!” Well, well Rajdeep might like to wonder which one issues regular death threats though. And here’s the thing about Rajdeep; he conveniently forgets his own community which Ashok Malik explains in an article “Playing with fire” in the TOI and I quote: “State sensitivity to street sentiment reached such ridiculous levels that when Da Vinci Code was released in 2006, Priyaranjan Das Munshi, then the information and broadcasting minister, held back the film from cinemas till he had reviewed it in the company of Catholic priests”.  That’s the bias that rules the head of lunatics in the media as well.

There are certain issues that are simply not debatable or negotiable. But you can trust the media to reduce such issues to a farce through their mindless debates. Entering India and participating in events by a PIO is neither debatable nor negotiable. The protesting lunatics were not so visible on TV screens. But the ones emboldening the govt in suppressing such freedoms are the lunatics in the media who kill issues with mindless debates.
