In the past few years in India, we have come across an unusual situation where a number of mass media outlets seem to be “two timers” as in one branch of the organization will support the nationalist narrative and the other will support the leftist narrative.
Our democracy is partially blind and has no way to distinguish between nationalism and rent seeking behaviour and this is where the society must step in to fill the gaps. We need to list out those who use our nation’s democracy and Constitution to further their personal agendas and remove them from electoral process to begin with.
We should remember that the destruction of Ram Mandir was more than just material damage to a property. It was destruction of cultural heritage and a symbol of subjugation.
We are facing an unfortunate situation where the opposition political parties and liberal intelligentsia of this country have unambiguously declared that they are willing to jeopardize the interests of India in their crusade to remove Narendra Modi from 7, Lok Kalyan Marg.
We live in a world where celebrities seem to have an unfettered right and moral authority to educate the masses on any and all aspects of politics, geopolitics, national security, military strategy, religion, social justice, feminism, foreign policy etc.
The real issue is not terrorism but Pakistan. Terrorism is merely a tool used by the military industrial complex known as Pakistan to further its political, religious and economic agendas.
