Nationalism is closer to
common people’s aspirations and expectations in the contemporary world if not posed as jingoism unlike patriotism that is
couched in liberal sounding castetva convenience that can be bartered as we saw in
the aftermath of Mumbai attack. Rustic hindutva is new to the game while
cunning castetva is aware of the nuance and is inbred to play the West -who consolidate
the narration with colonial hold. Take for instance the issue of Gandhi. Mr. Modi
is not entirely wrong. What is wrong is the context and timing. It is true that
Gandhi movie was essentially a promotional movie sponsored by Indian Govt, made
by a british with colonial angst, carefully toeing castetva narration control. The
movie had serious flaws and even negates, reduces, the role of other great
leaders like Ambedkar -who was crucial in understanding myth of gandhi -indeed
if colonial minded british were serious in atoning itself then they should have considered
an unbiased movie on Ambedkar which would’ve ruffled castetva’s constructed
world. It cannot be denied that Gandhi became a popular name among common
people across the world after Gandhi movie. What is also true is essential
nature of gandhi or gandhian is still manipulated, and is essentially imposed
on common people through castetva control that hindutva has adopted to bask in
the mythical legacies. It is a case of Wittgenstein misinterpretation. What is meant by
nonviolence in Indian context and what is carefully manipulated by castetva word
defecators for the world is essentially contradictory. Also, Modi’s critical thoughts
on reservation is spot on. There is no provision in constitution for
reservation on the basis of religion. But the language used was provocative and
indeed polarizing. This is where hindutva will have to work. What is also true
is that reservation was meant to be only for a decade wherein cunning castetva
used it to work on consolidating caste and posing itself as benevolent blessed arbitrators
of snarling competing herds. Almost all so-called leaders of castetva congress were caste feudals
and inbred squatters (indeed our savior claims to be jenue dhari shivbakth
while hindutva falls for essential patriarchal reaction of c*nt/d*ck check for
the primitive claim! What great culture. Extremely deft manipulators with negligible skills of even public
speaking or empathy or even emotional control were airdropped as leaders to
keep the competition under control among themselves while critical issues were dealt with more manipulation and blessedness). This was the standard template to deal and
mediocre inbred media analyzed these to keep the herd tagged. Modi referring
Nehru as 'pundit' is ominous indication of hindutva falling into reactionary
caste cannibalism. Castetva has infected hindutva, and indication is that herds
will be fed and kept snarling at each other for gains. What is also true is
that substantial number of muslims are poor (there are many reasons, and yes
nature of religion is also a significant factor including diminished role of
women in public space, crude patriarchal values, as also poor quality of religion-based
education) and must have access to reservation. If provision can be made to give
reservation for economically weaker section in hindus then it must also be
extended to muslims and other religions. Modi, who is also the PM, must have included
these to sound logical and empathetical, as a concern for every Indian. But he
fell stock and barrel for castetva trap and exposed hindutva hooligan bearings. Ideally reservation should be removed completely
and must be based on economic reason applicable to every Indian. Meanwhile huge investment must be made into primary education, as also caste must be eradicated. Judiciary must
intervene to reign in castetva media. For instance, dalit is not an identity
and is a construct that castetva has worked to milk benefits. Dalit can only be
mentioned in context to discrimination because it indicates systemic issue.
Castetva is trying to play liberal for West by comparing dalit as black and
posing as savior. Hindutva needs to negotiate these traps that castetva will trigger
for benefits.
Leader plays a role but democracy
is sustained by vibrant institutions. Party cannot be about one person. It can
be used to impress people -who indeed are herd and need assuring figure, but political
party needs to understand pitfalls. Modi is ofcourse an extremely popular brand
that is not really a mask and has taken decades of grassroot work and dedication.
It though cannot be overplayed. Western media really went for his claim as ‘chosen
by god’. Well, ofcourse in the context of Indian ways he is ‘chosen by god’, when
most Indian live in fate dictated miserable insecure unpredictable lives a
powerful leader is ofcourse embodiment of blessedness, also this is quite
common claim and well documented from history to buttress hold over people
-something that squatters expertised to control people. Also understand that almost
all political parties (except maybe communists in Kerala) are due to hereditary
or feudal reasons which is essentially impressing on common people of ‘chosen’ blessed
status or else why will these manipulating wastrels get elected? What is there credibility if not claim for blessedness, 'chosen by god'? Modi was attempting
to work his brand to match castetva forces (indeed, many Indians do take him
as an avatara which goes with the tradition of recognizing good work or
exceptional ability). Megalomania maybe a possibility and many leaders suffer from god syndrome but lazy arrogant West need not condescend to understand Indian context.
Empathy also means to be
concerned about common people including the fact that will they be able to go
for voting in heat wave conditions. Primitive Indian systems have emulated colonial british legacy to showcase blessing hence lack of concern. Many people have
died during polling process. This cannot be allowed to be classified as fate. It was intentional. Why is nobody held responsible? Voting percentage going down
has to do with these factors. Understand this political parties have nurtured
herds -that is their core base, who will go for voting even if there is a
flood or fire. It is undecided concerned common people who matter and are real reflection
of consolidated aspiration and valuation of policies. Voting percentage going
down is suppression of voices. Hopefully care will be taken next time. Most importantly
a new law to consolidate all election into single process must be brought in
immediately. We cannot have the worst of society taking center stage every now and then analyzing
with their limited mind and degrading agenda as ace evaluator of Indian society
while earning easy money and importance. Primitive society brings in its worst
during elections. All kind of charlatans become experts. Also, what remains constant and without scrutiny is crucial issues like capitalism's neoliberal hold. Each will speak wonders of GDP without being aware of implication
or indeed incapable to change the idea into sustainable mechanism to value growth.
Since much of the world lacks competence and is constantly in beggar’s mind
mode it is for civilized spaces (increasingly limited) to work on new modes of
evaluating human progress before the resources of the world is depleted and biodiversity irreparably lost.
