The Hindu Delusions

One of the favourite chest-thumper statements of some Hindus is that “we have survived 1000 years of invasions”. This is now a self-defeating brag. The purpose of a whole culture is not merely to survive like the threatened tigers or lions – the purpose must be to progress and conquer new frontiers and challenges that weren’t attempted before. Hindus are usually proud of the achievements of their ancestors in science, math, astronomy, physics – almost all major forms of exploration. The “survival” brag is not one of progress. It is merely one of mundane reproduction and existence. In the last 3 decades, Hindu revivalism has been strong and more so with the advent of technology and the internet. Hindus are naturally good at technology and adapting to new techniques. This puts them at an advantage over other communities; especially the desert cults and some “victimhood minorities”.

The sand on the riverbed doesn’t get there with one rain or overnight. It takes years of denudation by the rain, wind or ice grinding down the rocks bit by bit to take the sand where it gets. Just like the light of stars take light-years to reach our eyes. The old methods of drawing out swords and indulging in conventional wars are not so easy or popular anymore. That is why terrorism is a popular choice of Islamic radicals. But they realised even that is not easy. Therefore, the best way to denude a whole culture is slow deposits of Chrislamic ingredients through various forms – peaceful, covert and violent methods. When the Peacock-Bapu blabbers “Ek haath Guran, Ek haath Phantom” it is not accidental. PM Modi desperately seeks the approval of Muslims in power in many countries. “Orchestrated awards” from Saudis, UAE and even Palestine are not simple accidents. A kind word of applause for his most stupid public displays is also icing on the cake:

Add to this heady mix of govt approval of violence by Thookiyas and you get a culture of assertion of supremacy. Be it Azaan on loudspeakers or namaz on the roads or riots for mundane nonsense or jokes on Mohammad, it is now almost mandatory to violently riot for anything. It is mandatory to burn the country even for CAA which does not harm them in anyway. It is mandatory to lynch for cows, goats and what not. And, still, after all this, play victim. Cry Islamophobia. Call the ModiSarkar a “Hindutva” govt when there isn’t a shred of Hindutva about BJP or ModiSarkar. The extent to which ModiSarkar has gone to appease the Muslims is beyond the 22000 crores over years of funding. It extends to constantly hammering the worthless tombs of invaders as monuments of Indian heritage:

Those who were around during the 1979-80 period and were conscious about world happenings would remember the Polish uprising by workers for freedoms and democracy. The protests started from the Gdansk docks led by popular labour labour-leader Lech Walesa. He would later become President of Poland and won the Nobel peace prize and many other laurels for leading the revolution. 2020 marked the 40^th year of that revolution. Suddenly, GOI remembered there’s a country called Poland and wanted to celebrate the 40^th anniversary of that movement. So, what do they do? They light up the Qutub Minar as if it's the most symbolic of Indian monuments or heritage. 

This is particularly odd when you learn that the Polish govt is dead against allowing any Islamic influence or Muslims into their country. In reality, most of these Islamic monuments are crime scenes. The Qutub complex is built by destroying Hindu/Jain temples, ruins of which are still there. PM Modi employs a brainless jerk called Prahlad Patel as “Culture Minister” and I call him “Tomb manager”. His job is to decorate and light up tombs of mass-murderers of Hindus from history and laugh in your face.

Everything may seem innocuous and innocent to you. But it’s not. Even in something as ordinary or routine as the IPL cricket tournament, you have to wonder what machinations are being worked. Due to Covid, it seems the BCCI decided to shift the play to other countries. Of all the places, they go to the same UAE crap from where India had to stop cricket for dubious reasons. Cricket is being played in England and, probably, Australia too. Not one UAE desert-land is known for any cricket other than having Indian expats, but they are not going to be in the stadiums anyway. So, what is the motive or goal behind GOI approving UAE? Ah! If you rack your brains hard enough, it’s just another favour to the Muslim countries that ModiSarkar gleefully offers:

You could say these are just conspiracy theories. Not one bit. There is no reason whatsoever that the same matches cannot be played in India with minimal crowds or zero crowds. In any case, the major attraction will now be only TV revenues. If you still think that’s a nominal Thookiya appeasement, then you’ve got another think coming:

While it was generally known that the GOI is trying to push Muslim candidates and tom-tom them as great achievers in the UPSC exams, most of it is “rear-entry”. Your rear! In what looks like almost a “Covert” operation, Muslim candidates are pushed through with lesser qualification, more attempts and age relaxation. And the Hindus think “Survival” is a great accomplishment. They think ModiSarkar is the last messiah and saviour of Hindus. Nothing can be more foolish. It doesn’t matter if ModiSarkar didn’t do anything whatsoever that is Hindu-specific but the discrimination against Hindus has gotten dramatically worse under Modi. And there is no dearth of morons who claim Modi built Ram Mandir or his “Shashtang Pranam” at Ram Mandir is a great boon for Hindus. And they brag about having survived 1000 years and hope to survive the nonsense for another 1000 because they cannot see the rats gnawing at their foundation. This is an invisible plague. While Modi does long “namaskarams” at Ram Mandir making Hindus dance like drunks, his BJP govt in Uttarakhand has taken over temples. Earlier, the Fadnavis-govt in Maharashtra stole temple money and took over temples. Even the Sickulars didn’t do this in these two states.

“Creeping Sharia” is among the oldest websites that chronicles how Islamists covertly push their agenda. Whether it’s UK, Europe or USA, the ultimate goal of the Islamists is to establish Islamic rule. I believe India will fall faster than any of these Western countries though Hindus like to think Western civilization is under an Islamic siege. A lot of noise emanates from UK over Islamic riots or acts of violence, but their population is still only 3% while in India their population can be anywhere between 17 to 20%. Nobody seems to know the exact population of Muslims in India. There are now villages brazenly imposing Sharia as in the image from Bengal. There are no-go zones in Ramathapuram in TN. There are similar places in Kerala. Not surprisingly, Kerala commies and mullahs have repeatedly proclaimed Kerala will become an Islamic state soon and I believe they are making sense:

There’s another thing that should worry Hindus. While Modi goes around giving sermons on Swami Vivekananda or pretends to be “Mor Bapu” of the jungle, his party BJP and their govts quietly condone the crimes of Mullahs. Maulana Saad is nowhere in sight, the Markaz have disappeared, many Shaheen Bagh criminals are now “honourable” members of BJP. The Markaz building at Nizamuddin which was the site of so much Covid ruckus has 8 illegal floors. Not one floor has been demolished despite the govt warning to do so. In short, if you are a Muslim you can get away with a lot. A woman was given bail just because she was pregnant while Hindu women would be tortured for years. It all boils down to the fallacy of so called “Hindu votes”.

The current population of India is estimated at 138 crores. Of this, approximately 80% is stated to be “Hindu”. But what these numbers don’t tell us is that all political parties have carved out a different religion from this 80% of Hindus. I don’t have an accurate number but I estimate 60-70% of this 80% Hindus are made up of Dalits, SC/ST, Farmers etc. Cleverly, Modi has made this population his core target of votes. Nothing wrong in that. It makes a heady mix if you add “women” to that population of voters. So, in effect, the actual number of Hindus clamouring over equal Rights, Temple freedom, RTE or against Islamic attacks are merely a small percentage. During election campaigns, throw this overall Hindu population a few words of condolences over dead Hindus, chant Jai Shri Ram and the Hindus are happy. They live in this delusion of BJP or Modi being friends of Hindus.

The intelligent class is not fooled by stuff like “Vishwa Guru” or “Vasudiyo Kutumbiyo” or “Aatmanirbhar” nonsense. Seriously, it took the Chinese to teach Modi the value of Aatmanirbhar? How is this “Aatmanirbhar” any different from the “Make in India” that Modi launched in 2014? It’s like buy a new imaginary-calf every crisis and keep bathing it till a new crisis comes around. The Covid thing too has gone beyond the intelligence of GOI. The “Thali Bajao, Ghanti Bajao and Batti Jalao” and the daily briefing by the Central Health Department has all vanished in the haze.

BJP's Maha Folly

Now that the dust has settled on the Maharashtra political ruckus and govt formation, we can look at events and history a bit more calmly. The Shiv Sena (SS) has formed a govt with Congress and NCP. I am not concerned with how long it will last. What this post is concerned with is the poor foresight and wisdom among BJP leaders in allying with the two-bit SS in the first place. It is not “Mahayuti” as they call it but “Mahamoronery” to say the least. The BJP doesn’t learn from history it seems. But before all that, there are also equal number of morons among the RW who still think SS was a Hindutva party that has changed stripes, that Bal Thackeray (BT) was a Hindutva icon and all that rubbish. Let’s get some understanding of history first.

The SS was formed in 1966 with the help of Congress and Bombay industrialists to combat Commie unions in Bombay. BT added another ingredient to it called “Aamchi Mumbai” and non-Marathis to get out. Therefore, the first assault by SS was on Commie union leaders and the non-Marathis (South Indians, Bengalis etc). Many non-Marathi families were violently attacked and driven out of Mumbai. Majority of these families were obviously Hindus. The culmination of this violent cult resulted in the murder of a Commie union leader and MLA Krishna Desai for which over a dozen SS men were convicted. BT was not charged or implicated in this. It is this cult of violence, fear-mongering that made BT a “force” in Mumbai and not any political ideology and the term “Hindutva” was hardly in the political lexicon back then. Politicians, Cops and other local entities developed a fear of BT for his “Disruptive” capabilities. Thus, whether in power or not, BT could influence political events and outcomes and politicians genuflected before him at Matoshree. He became “Sarkar” as the movie projected him.

It is only towards the late 1980s that BT understood that violence isn’t paying politically and his party got nowhere that he sobered it down and started becoming more of a “politician”. This sobering down took on a more “patriotic” flavour. Remember, in 1991 SS men dug up the Wankhede pitch to prevent a match with Pakistan which thrilled the Hindus. As the Hindutva movement, led by LK Advani started gaining ground, BT’s clothes also changed from white to “Saffron”. By mid-90s BJP started winning some elections here and there and for the first time the SS-BJP combined came to power in 1995 in Maha and Manohar Joshi became CM. By 1995 BJP also got its permanent footing in Gujarat and became a political force. Later on, AB Vajpayee would become PM and BJP kept rising as a national party while SS remained a local party Mumbai Municipality. This dwindled the dominance of SS vs BJP. Thus, from a dominant partner, SS had become a “sidekick” that had lesser influence on BJP. In time to come, Narendra Modi became a nationally popular force and that finally asserted BJP’s supremacy over SS in Maha politics, as in many other states.

By the 1990s, BT who was just known as “Bal Thackeray” came to be respectfully addressed as “Balasaheb” and continued to exert influence in Maha politics whether in power or not. He had such an enormous clout that that all political leaders genuflected at his feet. With his death in 2012, the SS had lost all that “phenomenal informal power”. The replacement kid, Udhav Thackeray (UT), had neither the charisma nor the intelligence or sharp wit of BT to be as dominant a force in politics as BT was. In addition, with time, BT had become the senior-most figure among all his peers, so that brought him some reverence too. It is not easy to fill the shoes of a giant like BT and that was the biggest problem of the “power hungry” UT. But even with the giant BT, SS never won a majority on its own in Maha. Thus, SS always remained on the side-line and their only way to power was with some alliance. But even before the death of BT, I had warned the BJP never to have a prepoll alliance with SS because the party neither had any ideology and all the Hindutva crap being credited to it is nothing but falsehood:

 

PM Modi understood this and did not ally with SS in 2014. The BJP won LS and Maharashtra on their own (although outside support was needed in Maha to form the govt). It is only after the results in 2014 that SS became a partner with BJP in the Maha govt. It would naturally hurt UT’s ego to realise that he is just a bit-player and does not possess the “Dadagiri” of BT. “Balasaheb” had open contempt and disdain for many of his alliance partners, including LK Advani. He was sharp-tongued and even said “those who bow before Sonia are Hijdas”. You can easily conclude what UT is if you go by that statement of BT. The other Thackeray, Raj, was reduced to a mere roadside-watcher in politics. What UT wanted was, the same power that BT had without contesting elections. He was more power-hungry than BT as his son AUT too is. These men haven’t built anything on their own, therefore, their lust is different. And then came the Palghar bypoll in May 2018. This is an event that most people are simply ignoring. It was the final insult to UT’s ego that turned him into a vengeful politician desperate for power at any and all cost:

 

Mentally, UT had already sworn revenge after the Palghar bypoll loss. He started publicly slamming PM Modi, even going to the extent of using “Chowkidar Chor” in a public meeting. UT also started hobnobbing with “Sickular” forces like Mamata Banerjee and their lovey-dovey exchanges were there for everyone to see (Except Devendra Fadnavis who was blind):

 

If not for his fear and knowledge that he would be slaughtered in Maha elections if he broke from BJP, UT would have also attended that spurious “Unity rally” of Mamata in Kolkata. The fallout of the Palghar bypoll fight was not missed by even the moronic media. Somehow, BJP and Fadnavis completely missed it altogether:

 

With all the actions, utterances and even the “Chowkidar Chor” reference, the BJP and Fadnavis simply failed to measure the motives of UT. He is not a BT who had any ideological compulsions later in life. UT simply wanted power, to seek revenge against Fadnavis and upstage the BJP as the major force in Maharashtra politics and sustain or rebuild the languishing influence of SS in the state’s politics. It is unfortunate that the BJP failed to recognise this freaky chameleon and still took on the SS as an ally after much protracted negotiations over seats. And if anyone was in doubt over the motives of UT in partnering BJP, the NCP MLA and leader Anil Deshmukh repeatedly alluded that post-elections, the NCP-Congress-SS would form the govt. In a speech and an interview, Deshmukh asserted this confidently. Hindsight, is a gift to all of us, but foresight should have been a gift with BJP with shrewd players like Amit Shah who were watching all this (Video 37 secs):

 

By the time Deshmukh made his speeches, it was too late to correct any mistakes. The withdrawal dates were over and elections were just a few days away. BJP’s fate was sealed even before the elections. I don’t think anyone is in doubt that UT and SS would have been in shambles had BJP gone it alone with the powerful magnetic pull of PM Modi with the voters. BJP didn’t lose the Maha election, they are victims of bad judgment and a bad partner. That is all there is to it. And post-results, Fadnavis lamented that UT was not even taking his calls. It is not because the post-election nonsense of 50:50 demand by UT or anything else was the reason. SS and UT had already made up their mind before elections to have their own CM and they knew it wouldn’t be possible with BJP:

That’s not all, after stepping down as CM for “80 hours”, Fadnavis made a statement that SS had surrendered “Hindutva at Sonia’s feet”. This is hypocrisy at its worst. In the five years that he was CM, Fadnavis had completely forgotten Hindutva and never uttered the word once. He was busy pleasing Muslims giving Minority scholarships and calling it “Sabka Saath”, he was allowing Kabrastans near Hindu temple, sporting Muslim gear at Bohra celebrations and his wife was doing Christmas Carols. Hindus were seriously short-changed by the Fadnavis-govt and ModiSarkar had better take that warning seriously or they will alienate more Hindus:

 

The map is only “indicative” and like the BJP BhajanMandlis one need not try to find excuses or dissect the reducing Saffron colour by some statistics of voting percentage or other factors. Simple fact is, if BJP could win a giant state like UP in 3 big elections without any partner, there was no reason to ally with the treacherous SS and UT. If that lesson is learned, then BJP will be back with a thumping victory again. The other lesson BJP has to learn, no amount of lipstick for “Sickularism” will get it anywhere. They cannot beat the Sickulars at their game – the only way they can win is with Hindutva as its core. That is the only thing that separates BJP from the motley crowd.
