For the greed of power the protagonists are viciously trying to impress the herd. The herd meanwhile is trapped in its own miseries, incapacitated of critical thinking and entertained in excess they sense heuristic opportunism in limited frame. Institutions are kept tardy hence herd is tutored great sense of fate. While Castetva cunningly posed as entitled saviors to ameliorate fate Hindutva short stepped to pose religion as savior that the herd found compelling since it echoed with civilizational roots. Castetva is licking the wound, not used to being out of entitled role, is scheming in earnest to get the herd back. Herd meanwhile ricochets in its everyday fate but is firmly tethered to Hindutva. Castetva and its superficial claims finds diminishing takers. Castetva is usurped, Hindutva hence will be central to Indian politics for a long time to come. Even after a decade of power its influence is essentially undiminished.
Castetva clearly is working to regain aura as saviors. Having degraded the society for 70odds years -ofcourse with incrementally controlled benefits trickled to firmly solidify fate to herd, they nurtured the worst and exacted opportunism as art. Having lost power and facing existential threat they now dusted the egalitarian intentions that sane people pleaded for decades to nurture democratic values and humanitarian concerns in an essentially primitive society. Empathy is a compelling opportunism to influence the fate driven herd, and if you can create a binary of apathetic state the battle is half won. Rusty Hindutva lacking the nuance is falling stock and barrel into the trap. Take for instance inheritance tax -it is something that should have been done long time back, castetva willfully and purposefully scuttled it -as they did for many egalitarian initiatives wherein they could have easily pursued it. Hindutva meanwhile has taken some meaningful initiatives. Imagine if constructing toilets was taken up as pilot project across villages in 1950s and 60s or even 80s, this would've initiated consolidating PHCs and primary education so on. East Asian nations are benefiting from these long term investments. It is not about intent but attitude -the mindset, entitled castetva is incapable to think on these lines while inbreeding incapacitated to be competent. They immensely suited to trickle down, making sure herd understood the play of fate, and their centrality as dispenser.
Despite far better placed Hindutva is seen hopping to Castetva claps. It is a ridiculous state of affair, and shows lack of maturity and desperation of new entrant. Cunning castetva is desperately banking on these. Ideally Hindutva should have kept quiet on inheritance tax -it is logically rooted to egalitarian values and most 'capitalist' society have much higher inheritance tax and cannot be classified as 'socialism' and ridiculed considering how these work for common people as also consolidates ideas of fate while state as passive nurturer. Castetva could have initiated these decades back, since they couldn't they will not. These are just posturing to capture power they desperately crave. What is shocking is Hindutva found it atmost necessary to react, thus creating a wedge. Most people in this country particularly in cities understand how inheritance creates unfair advantage to few -it has nothing to do with merit indeed it is against the idea of merit and equality. The issue is not that you are taking away inheritance but putting an appropriate tax. If Hindutva thinks it will benefit from this reaction then it is grossly mistaken, and help create class divide while castetva works its sinister caste agenda to keep herds snarling at each other while living in misery. I repeat again: Castetva gaining power -even marginally, is a civilizational loss. Hindutva is the real deal, and response must consolidate around this reality and not make believe superficialities to impress West. Castetva has no role whatsoever except condemned to dustbin of history and a nuisance value (as a reaction egoistic Hindutva will avoid question of inheritance tax altogether -a loss to common people). Meanwhile Hindutva needs to put its act together and show maturity and avoid head butting rant reaction to every time they hear snap. It also puts question mark on quality of Hindutva leadership.
