Rahul Gandhi is wrong in blaming PM Modi for promoting Udhyogpatis (Businessmen)
Whenever Rahul Gandhi comes out of holidaying from abroad, his pet project seems to be casting aspersions on Prime Minister Modi. This time round, he talked about (in the farmers’ strike) that the PM is promoting 2-3 Udhyogpatis (big businessmen i.e., Adani, Ambani et al.). Mr Rahul Gandhi is conveniently forgetting the fact that it was the Congress regime that propped up the aforesaid businessmen initially. Nothing wrong in doing so by a government in a liberal democracy. In majority of countries in the world, the well-being of majority people depends on the willingness of these capitalist entrepreneurs to establish their companies/factories for production and creation of employment. For which, in turn, they seek their property and civil rights to be protected. In these on-going farmers’ protest- 1.0, Mukesh Ambani-controlled Reliance Jio tower infrastructure in Punjab was attacked by these protesting farmers, as they were against big Corporates coming in to agricultural sector. This is a bad precedent and discourages businessmen within the country and foreign countries to invest in India.
Striking- farmers are taking the line of the Communist-Left – Like all liberal democracies India also encourages big businessmen, as the State/Govt. has shortage of financial capital know-how. This encouragement has been there ever since India has won independence. However, there are not many willing enthusiastic business entrepreneurs to organise production to create jobs in India, due to several reasons. The bureaucratic hurdles from the start (time of establishment) to production stage of a company, are too many for a businessman to cross. From the beginning, for any business set-up to take place, the environment was discouraging leading to despair. Communist countries, to the contrary to liberal democracies, eliminate the dependence on businessmen by organising production through the State i.e., the Government. Shri Yogendra Yadav of Swaraj India Party, who is spear-heading the farmers’ agitation, is one such avowed leftist-Communist-ideology person. He conveniently backed this farmers’ protest to his advantage.
There is a wrong impression among the farmers on Corporates buying farm-produce. As a matter of fact, the farmers could get more money for their produce from Corporates than what the government gives them as minimum support price (MSP). It is wrong to assume that the Government should buy all. In case, if the farmers, because of farm-laws, are exploited by the Corporates, the Government would not be a mute spectator. It comes to the farmers’ rescue. This has been assured to the farmers and their leaders. Yet, they are unrelenting.
To take back the three-farm laws that have been legislated in the larger interest of the farmers, that have been applauded by many elite intellectuals, is a disgraceful task for the Government of India. Recently the U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration also welcomed the farm laws, as the U.S. being a liberal democracy like India, it encourages free market-economy. In fact, the U.S. officially stated that it would welcome any steps that would improve the efficiency of India’s markets and attract greater private investment. So, India need not care what pop-star Rihanna or environment activist Greta Thunberg have tweeted. They were, apparently, carried by the farmers’ agitation, without going deep into the bottom of the issue. Almost all these activists in the world, be it environmental or otherwise, are conformed Leftists. In any case, the Delhi Police has registered an FIR against people supposed to be Kalisthanis that were backing and providing toolkit for farmers’ agitation to these activists.
As a matter of fact, businessmen enrich the country with their services; hence, they are promoted in any democratic country by their Governments to have land at cheaper price to establish their firm/company and also provide other amenities like electricity and water. This is all for ease of doing business. The State and Central Govts. invite businessmen with open arms in our country. For, they need more jobs to be created in the state for their young people. The Central Government is keen on the overall growth and economic development of the country. Of course, crony capitalism i.e., favouring and patronising a few groups, must be discouraged. The Congress party has been benefitted all along by encouraging cronyism. During the Congress-rule, there has been an open politician- businessmen nexus. Yet, Rahul Gandhi tries to find fault with Modi-regime. When the prime minister aspires for growth and development of the country, he has no option but to promote businessmen also.
In India’s case, there are a very few big businessmen to create jobs or wealth for the country. So, if leaders like Rahul Gandhi with his vituperative diatribe scare the businessmen, how could India progress? When his party was in power, they colluded with businessmen to improve their lot. Now, he is taking a more Communist-socialist stance. Targeting Ambanis and Adanis is not good. The country needs to encourage more such businessmen to have a healthy competition. The no-holds-barred attack on them does not augur well for India.
What happened in Venezuela, is a story by itself— When Hugo Chavez, a friend of Fidel Castro, inspired by Cuban-formula of Communist-socialism, came to power in 1970s, he made near elimination of property rights through inheritance for all rich people of the country, who do business, to discourage the rich becoming richer. So, almost all the rich left Venezuela. Then Venezuela’s rich oil reserves were all brought under the Govt. control. For a long time, Venezuela was a rich nation and the Govt. of Venezuela/State of Venezuela, saw to the welfare of people. There were no businessmen. Yet the country survived and thrived well. Of late, in 2014 under Maduro, the oil prices fell to the rock-bottom due to oil-crisis. The country went into economic recession and economic hardship. People began to starve. They went in troves to other countries, as they could not get jobs or survive in their own country.
The lesson to be learnt from Venezuelans-crisis is, that Governments alone cannot run the country. It is people, especially, the rich entrepreneurs who have to. So, the rich of the country have a role. Prime Minister Modi often tried to appeal all sections: the rich, the middle-class and the poor for their contribution to the society and the country. It is no use blaming Ambanis and Adanis. India needs more such businessmen. Knowing the need, the Budget presented in parliament for the year 2021-22, by the finance minister, Smt. Nirmala Sitaraman saw to it, that there is a place for the rich to be entrepreneurial.
Fact check: Altnews & other fact checks that claim “Indian flag was not removed & Khalistani flag was not hoisted” is a lie
Alt news, which is a left leaning-fact checking website along with India Today, WIRE and the QUINT, The times of India and boom came in defend of Khalistani agitators that neither Indian flags was removed from Red Fort nor Khalistan supportive flags were waived.
They tried to deny Opindia’s news by falsifying opindia and defame opindia with a “fake news” tag.
Actually they cleverly took different video which was not from the top of Red Fort and cunningly fact checked the different video of the pole which is in front of the red fort where Nishan Sahib was hoisted.
These are with the intentions to defend the Khalistanis as they were the first people who aided social media supported to the so called “FARMER” agitators and fueled the protests by building anti BJP narrative and painted the protesters as “PEACEFUL”.
Now we will provide the proof that they misled people with the fake news in the name of FACT CHECK. Lets see the image of flag which was actually hoisted on the top of Lal Qila.
Now question arises which Sikhs would want “KHALSA RULE” in India? (As Lal Qila is a national monument and these flags are hoisted there on the top with the removal of Indian flag).The answer itself is evident.
Another picture of the same flag on red fort
Video proof of the same flag captured by Pyara Hindustan
Opindia Hindi also showed the footage.
Amrik Singh who is allegedly made BJP agent by the Twitter liberals also accepted this and wrote-RAAJ KAREGA KHALSA SLOGAN IN HIS TWEET.
Allegedly he is made BJP agent by twitter liberals. This is also a fake news as he is a politician of AAM ADMI PARTY.
This slogan “RAAJ KAREGA KHALSA” is pro Khalistani and was used after the death of late PM Indira Gandhi after she was shot dead.
Now the question is that was Indian flag removed? The answer is YES. There is a video evidence that Indian flag was removed. Here is a live from NItin Shukla- a YouTube newsreader.
You can clearly see Indian flag been thrown away by Khalistani agitators. Even then these faulty fact checkers are in denial mode in defend of agitators. The agenda spread by these left leaning fact checkers were also repeated by left leaning Senior Journalists on YouTube.
Again a Sikh reporter accepted the fact that “tricolour was removed and Khalistani flag was hoisted”. Suddenly knowing the consequences of reporting the heinous act,he disrupted his words and changed his words from “khalistani flag to “kesari flag”. You can clearly see how he retracted after saying the truth.
Opindia condemns such malicious activities and do not posses any intentions to defame India. But truth should be in front or else wrong history will be written in future. And denial of such actions will lead to repetitions of such activities.
श्रीकृष्ण-द्रौपदी संवाद से निकली राह पर बीएचयू का ‘मूल्य प्रवाह’
गांव से लेकर शहर तक तेजी से क्षरण हो रहे सामाजिक व मानवीय मूल्यों के लिए एक बड़ी नेक पहल बीएचयू ने की है। जी हां,
बनारस हिंदू विश्वविद्यालय (बीएचयू) ने मानवीय मूल्यों पर आधारित एक विजन डॉक्यूमेंट ‘मूल्य प्रवाह’ यूजीसी को सौंपा है जिसका उद्देश्य छात्रों के शैक्षिक ही नहीं, चारित्रिक निर्माण और इसके माध्यम से राष्ट्र निर्माण के महत्व को जन जन तक पहुंचाना है। इस तरह बीएचयू ‘मानवीय मूल्य और नैतिकता’ के लिए नोडल केंद्र की तरह काम करेगा। विश्वविद्यालय स्वयं को डॉक्टर, इंजीनियर, व्यापारी व शास्त्री बनाने तक सीमित नहीं रखना चााहता, वह महामना के उस विचार को ज़मीन पर उतारना चाहता है जो राष्ट्र-विच्छेदी ना होकर पीढ़ियों को राष्ट्र-उत्थानक बना सके।
अभी तक यह हमारी गलतफहमी रही कि हमने सदैव राष्ट्र के उत्थान को सिर्फ राजनीति का विषय माना जबकि राष्ट्र की प्रथम इकाई परिवार होता है और परिवार से ही उत्थान या सुधार प्रारंभ होने चाहिए, परिवार में श्रेष्ठ संस्कार जब अपनों के प्रति मर्यादित होंगे तो हर तरह की प्रगति भी मर्यादित होगी और समाज का विकास भी सुसंस्कारित होगा।
सवाल पैदा होता है कि बनारस हिंदू विश्वविद्यालय को आखिर ऐसी जरूरत ही क्यों पड़ी… ? तो इस पर बात मुझे कहीं पर पढ़ा हुआ एक दृष्टांत याद आ रहा है…
महाभारत युद्ध की समाप्ति पर श्रीकृष्ण और द्रौपदी में संवाद हो रहा है—-
18 दिन के युद्ध ने द्रोपदी की उम्र को 80 वर्ष जैसा कर दिया था…शारीरिक रूप से भी और मानसिक रूप से भी! शहर में चारों तरफ़ विधवाओं का बाहुल्य था..पुरुष तो ना के बराबर बचे थे। चारों ओर बस अनाथ बच्चे ही घूमते दिखाई पड़ते थे और उन सबकी वह ”महारानी द्रौपदी” हस्तिनापुर के महल में निश्चेष्ट बैठी हुई शून्य को निहार रही थी। तभी श्रीकृष्ण कक्ष में दाखिल होते हैं…
द्रौपदी कृष्ण को देखते ही दौड़कर उनसे लिपट जाती है …कृष्ण उसके सिर को सहलाते रहते हैं और रोने देते हैं…थोड़ी देर में, उसे खुद से अलग करके समीप के पलंग पर बैठा देते हैं।
द्रोपदी: यह क्या हो गया सखा?
ऐसा तो मैंने नहीं सोचा था।
कृष्ण: नियति बहुत क्रूर होती है पांचाली..
वह हमारे सोचने के अनुरूप नहीं चलती! वह हमारे ”कर्मों को परिणामों में” बदल देती है।
तुम प्रतिशोध लेना चाहती थींं ना, और तुम सफल भी हुईंं, द्रौपदी! तुम्हारा प्रतिशोध पूरा हुआ… सिर्फ दुर्योधन और दुशासन ही नहीं, सारे कौरव समाप्त हो गए! तुम्हें तो प्रसन्न होना चाहिए!
द्रोपदी: सखा, तुम मेरे घावों को सहलाने आए हो या उन पर नमक छिड़कने के लिए?
कृष्ण: नहीं द्रौपदी, मैं तो तुम्हें वास्तविकता से अवगत कराने आया हूँ! हमारे कर्मों के परिणाम (अच्छे अथवा बुरे) को हम, दूर तक नहीं देख पाते और जब वे हमारे सामने आते हैं, तब तक परिस्थितियां बहुत कुछ बदल चुकी होती हैं, तब हमारे हाथ में कुछ नहीं रहता।
द्रोपदी: तो क्या, इस युद्ध के लिए पूर्ण रूप से मैं ही उत्तरदायी हूँ कृष्ण?
कृष्ण: नहीं, द्रौपदी तुम स्वयं को इतना महत्वपूर्ण मत समझो…
लेकिन, तुम अपने कर्मों में थोड़ी सी दूरदर्शिता रखतींं तो स्वयं इतना कष्ट कभी नहीं पाती।
द्रोपदी: मैं क्या कर सकती थी कृष्ण?
कृष्ण: तुम बहुत कुछ कर सकती थीं! …जब तुम्हारा स्वयंवर हुआ…तब तुम कर्ण को अपमानित नहीं करतींं और उसे प्रतियोगिता में भाग लेने का एक अवसर देती तो, शायद परिणाम कुछ और होता।
इसके बाद जब कुंती ने तुम्हें पाँच पतियों की पत्नी बनने का आदेश दिया…तब तुम उसे स्वीकार नहीं करती तो भी, परिणाम कुछ और होता।
और…
उसके बाद तुमने अपने महल में दुर्योधन को अपमानित किया…
कि अंधों के पुत्र अंधे होते हैं। वह नहीं कहतींं तो तुम्हारा चीर हरण नहीं होता…तब भी शायद, परिस्थितियाँ कुछ और होतींं।
हमारे शब्द भी
हमारे कर्म ही होते हैं द्रोपदी…
और हमें अपने हर शब्द को बोलने से पहले तोलना बहुत ज़रूरी होता है…अन्यथा उसके दुष्परिणाम सिर्फ़ स्वयं को ही नहीं… अपने पूरे परिवेश को दुखी करते रहते हैं। संसार में केवल मनुष्य ही एकमात्र ऐसा प्राणी है…जिसका “विष” उसके “दाँतों” में नहीं, “शब्दों” में है…
द्रोपदी को यह सुनाकर हमें श्रीकृष्ण ने वो सीख दे दी जो आए दिन हम गाल बजाते हुए ना तो याद रख पाते हैं और ना ही कोशिश करते हैं। नतीजतन घटनाएं, दुर्घटनाओं में बदल जाती हैं और मामूली सा वाद-विवाद रक्तरंजित सामाजिक क्लेश में…।
फिलहाल बीएचयू का 21 पेज वाला विजन डॉक्यूमेंट ‘मूल्य प्रवाह’ एक अनोखी पहल तो है ही। बीएचयू में ही मानवीय मूल्यों पर आधारित शिक्षा का केंद्र जहां बनेगा, शीघ्र ही ‘मालवीय मूल्य अनुशीलन केंद्र को नोडल सेंटर बनाया जाएगा। इसी सेशन से विद्यार्थियों को औपचारिक पाठ्यक्रमों में भी मूल्य नीति पढ़ाई जा सकेगी। यूजीसी के पूर्व अध्यक्ष प्रो. डीपी सिंह और मालवीय मूल्य अनुशीलन केंद्र के समन्वयक प्रो. आशाराम त्रिपाठी को इस पहल का श्रेय जाता है।
शिक्षा के माध्यम से संस्कार अगर लगातार दिए जाएंऔर उनका प्रयोग घर व परिवार से शुरू हो तो निश्चित ही परिणाम अच्छे ही आऐंगे। बीएचयू की ये पहल हमें ऐसा प्राणी बनने से बचा सकती है जो कि अपने ”शब्दों में ज़हर” लेकर चलता है और गाहे-बगाहे उसे किसी पर उड़ेल कर सुख भी पाता है।

Condolence message- Delhi BJP
My heartfelt condolence to all BJP voters in Delhi on passing away of the glorious tradition of struggle and working at the grassroot in Delhi BJP.
I am shattered and disappointed beyond words at the passing away of these essential qualities leaving dedicated BJP voters bereft of any political choice to make their voice heard. A rather meek dissolution of what once used to be a party lionized by likes of Madan Lal Khurana, Sahib Singh Verma, B L Sharma Prem, Charti Lal Goel, Jagdish Mukhi and Sahab Singh Chauhan. A steady decline in political health that has started with the appointment of O P Kohli and worsened under the lacklustre leadership of many successive Delhi BJP presidents, barring a brief period when it was under treatment of Dr. Harshvardhan, has finally managed to consume this once glorious state unit of BJP.
The father of second wave of Khalistan Arvind Kejriwal, is ruling Delhi deploying most hateful means of lies and deception bordering on anti-Hindu rhetoric, be it appeasement of one particular community to win Delhi elections as was evident in active involvement of his cadres in the anti Hindu progrom in Delhi as an aftermath of hateful anti- CAA protest or now when he has become Sevadaar of fanatics from another community who are feeling emboldened enough to run amok and cause havoc in our national capital Delhi, the very municipality which Mr. Kejriwal shamelessly proclaimed as his own private property, just so that he can get their votes in upcoming election in a state where this very community makes for a majority. In these very depressing times when the core voter of BJP is expecting its state unit to effectively counter and name and shame this abhorrent AAP government, we learnt of passing away of Delhi BJP’s courage and connection to its core values, by way of its complete disappearing and surrendering act. It leaders who once used to march in the street hand in hand with the masses to raise the voice of the people and push nationalistic ideology are now happy driving in big SUVs and content being social media watchers. Where is the gherao of Kejriwal asking why is he supporting demands to make burning stubble a birth right thus making Delhi a Gas chamber? Where are the bandhs and dharna against AAPs active support to Khalistan elements in the garb of supporting farmers? Where are those state leaders who would call out the lies an canards of AAP on social media platform, TV studios and most importantly on the street ?
Alas, I did not expect it to come to this pass that one will not even feel any sense of sadness at this demise, it was in the offing for sometime.
However, the core supporter and people who look forward to Narendra Modi and India under his watch, living in Delhi, are feeling utterly helpless and orphaned at this hapless turn of events.
Due to the immense faith in Hindu belief and consequently belief in reincarnation, I will hope that the courage and fighting spirit will take a rebirth. Until such time, praying for a day when the Delhi BJP leaders will get off the shoulder of Modi and Shah and start doing some heavy lifting themselves.
Until that time,
Om Shanti Om !
पत्रकार मनदीप पूनिया के प्रति मेरी घोर संवेदनाएं है!
इन्होंने मनदीप पूनिया को अपने जाल में फंसा लिया। पत्रकार मनदीप पूनिया के प्रति मेरी घोर संवेदनाएं है।
संवेदना क्यों है?
जैसे ही कोई भी आईआईएमसी, पत्रकारिता विश्वविद्यालय या किसी भी विश्वविद्यालय के दहलीज पर पहला कदम रखता है तो वहां इना, बैएना, सायना और अली खड़ा मिलेगा। किसी का बाल खड़ा, लाल, हरा, पीला, जीभ में अंगुठी, मूंह में बाली और सिर पर क्रास।
मनदीप देखते ही सहसा चौंकेगा, आकर्षित होगा। सोचेगा इनमें नयापन है, ऐसा क्यों है, ये अद्भुत हैं, इनसे दोस्ती बनाओ। इनमें विविधता है, ऐसे तो मेरे दूर सुदूर गांव में नहीं दिखते। वाह-वाह करेगा।
क्या वहीं आधुनिकता की मंजिल है, जिसे मेरे बाबूजी ने गांव में सपने संजोए हैं।
फिर मनदीप से भांति-भांति के बहुरुपिए के वेश धारण किए नरपिशाच मुखातिब होंगे। उसके बाद मनदीप की भाव-भंगिमा आकलन कर मुंह खोलते ही ओपन सेक्स की बात करेंगे, क्रांति की बात करेंगे, नग्नता की बात करेंगे, आसमान में धान रोपने की बात एवं नारीवाद। मनदीप का मन प्रफुल्लित। वाह-वाह। वो सोचेगा रोम-रोम पुलकित हो जाएगा।
डीड ईट का भाव हिलोरें मारेगा।
ये गैंग सामान्य विद्यार्थी को एक ऐसे यूटोपिया का द्वि-स्वप्न दिखाएंगे, जहां फंतासी में ही यथार्थ सिद्ध होने लगेगा।
अब यहीं से शुरू होती एक छात्र को वैचारिक जोम्बी बनाने की परिणिति। यानी वामपंथियों और इस्लामिस्टों का एक नया जोम्बी जोड़ने का मिशन। मनदीप बाहर निकलते ही कम्पलिट पैकेज बन जाएगा।
यह गिरोह दिल्ली से लेकर हर नामी गिरामी विश्विद्यालय में नये छात्रों पर धावा बोलने के लिए हनी ट्रैप बनाया है। दिमाग के तार से खेलने के बाद ये व्यवस्था विरोधी बात करने, अभिव्यक्ति की आजादी की रट्टू तोता बना देंगे। भले ही अभिव्यक्ति के नाम पर मां सीता, दुर्गा और सरस्वती का चीरहरण कर देंगे, लेकिन अल्लाह के नाम पर उफ्फ तक नहीं लिखेंगे।
और आखिरकार में मौजूदा सरकार के प्रति कहीं कोई आपके दिल में नरमी पता चल गई तो निष्पक्षता का नगाड़ा बजाकर सवाल पूछने के लिए उकसाएंगे। निष्पक्षता का मतलब सरकार की सिर्फ और सिर्फ खामियां ढूंढो अभियान। कहीं आंदोलन की सुगबुगाहट बने तो देश में आग लगने का अफवाह फैला दो। जातिय हिंसा इनके लिए मुफीद है क्योंकि रक्तरंजित क्रांति के बाद ही शर्तिया लोकतंत्र का इलाज करेंगे।
यह सबकुछ तबतक चलता रहेगा, जबतक ये खुद सत्ता में नहीं आ जाते और जब ये आ जाएंगे तो उत्तरी कोरिया, चीन, रूस, सीरिया और तमाम तानाशाहों का देश इनके शासन पद्धति सर्वोत्कृष्ट उदाहरण है। जहां निष्पक्षता नामक इतिहास ही नहीं है, क्योंकि नाशपिट्टो के राज में मीडिया नाम की चिड़िया पहले दिन काट दी जाती है।
मनदीप पूनिया एक पात्र है और ऐसे हजारों छात्र देश के हर विश्वविद्यालय में ट्रैप में फंसते हैं। व्यवस्था विरोध में फेक न्यूज की फैक्ट्री ही नहीं नक्सली भी बनते हैं। वो वैचारिक जोम्बी बनकर अपने आला का हुक्म बजाते हैं। फिर जोम्बिज का श्रृंखला बनता ही रहता है।
इतिश्री तथैव च वाम-इस्लाम कथा।
उन सभी मनदीपों (जोम्बी) के साथ मेरी संवेदनाएं है!
Just another attempt of stereotyping Hindus and Hindutva?
Came across a month or so old, one of usual jaundiced critique of Hindutva by a professor of Indian descent who sits in Denmark namely Tabish Khair. Why take notice of it? Because not only it certainly misses certain important points but threatens about ‘costs’ obliquely right from the platform of National Herald India and still wants to be counted to be liberal among liberals. These kinds of critiques are so routine like copy paste and are hardly taken note of so go unaddressed and copy pasted again to continue with false information plus negative stereotyping of patriotic Hindus and Hindutva.
Khair’s last but one para uses wording, “….Hence, my expectation from the so-called ‘moderates’…in the Hindutva fold…”. This is a very ironic way of communicating. Incidentally Khair is a professor of English language and supposed to know linguistics better than the rest of us who are poor in linguistics. Even before appealing moderates among ‘Hindutva fold’ he prefixes ‘so-called’ and in the next para decides conversation and discussion are not possible, and in previous paras before talks of “….It is the descendants of my Sanskrit tutor and my father’s RSS friends that I am talking about. Why are they still silent?…And that includes the ‘judicious silence’ of the heads of the national ‘family’ now…”. Which national family he is referring to? Is he referring to the Head of Indian Congress family or RSS family?
Being a ‘so called’ overseas based intellectual gives one, free license to succumb to fear mongering, repeat victim card without being a victim and help spread misinformation about patriotic Hindus and Hindutva? As another ordinary person we are just unaware what kind of effort this particular linguist or his so called intellectual fraternity takes to inform the world that ‘Hindutva’s means ‘just hinduness’ (with both meanings of word ‘just’) and no one gets any moral right to negatively stereotype the term.
Khair in his own article while stating “…I have for years demanded that Muslims, religious, semi-religious and irreligious, need to oppose the fundamentalist tendencies in Islam – not in order to prove their ‘innocence’ to others, but in order to prevent the destructiveness of bigotry and intolerance from spreading within their own communities…. I must say that many Muslims, like me, have stepped up over the years – some far more boldly than me and at greater risk to themselves – and spoken against such tendencies in Muslim communities. I particularly admire those who are religious, and have nevertheless spoken up – for they, by definition, do it in a more precarious context.” He himself acknowledges the existence of questionable fundamentalist tendencies among Muslims which do pose risks to free expression. In the same para he himself states, “ ….I have demanded it even in the years when I would be vigorously attacked for such statements in liberal or leftist circles. …”
Now only following questions Khair and his ilk need to answer
- Why should any society or government accept any illegal ‘mass’ migration ? (Emphasis to words ‘illingal’ and ‘mass’)
- Khair Talks of Europe and West, so does European union or USA approves of illigal human trafficking and illigal mass migration?
- If any mass migration has to be accepted due to economic reasons then why not provide economic help to people in their own cultural background rather than importing and exporting them and thrusting them in an alien cultural background and then complain.
- Does ‘Khair’ or any other liberal do have any magic sticks or ideas which can automatically transform a citizen of non plural background into a plural background just by crossing over a secular state’s border ?; If not then which logic on earth supports secular nations should accept mass migration from non secular/non plural culture and change it’s demography and take any chance to compromise the future of pluralism?
- Again Bangladesh’s economy is reasonably growing, India Bangladesh relations going well and India can very well support Bangladeshis in Bangladesh itself rather than accepting mass importing of them in India. Bangladesh won’t have a problem then why left liberals have issues ? Or do they have vested interests in changing India’s demography ?
- One concern and misunderstanding seems to be around BJP governments contemplated citizenship register. If many other countries can have citizenship registers why can India not have one of its own? Here important point being missed is Indian Muslims are least likely to be affected in the process because majority of Indian Muslim population is urban or semi urban has been regularly voting since 1947 so for them proving their antecedents since 1947 is any way not going to be difficult. Intention of process seems to control any possibilities of illegal migration of non pluralistic values from Pakistan or Bangladesh and what is wrong in that ?
Problems are actually different, In case of any new citizenship register Government needs to think for such Hindus whose forefathers might not have been registered in any electoral roll. Second issue is after all Pakistan and Bangladesh were part of India and may be after they become properly plural secular and accept Indian ancestry and culture again India need to have a mechanism to take back Pakistan and Bangladesh as Indian states but as of now we don’t know how many decades or centuries that would take.
As such there is more to counter in Khair’s article but as of now let us end with his indirect reference to RSS head, but matter of fact is, probably among all RSS heads up til now Mohan Bhagwat seems to be most inclusive minded and has acted upon the same. It is different matter vested interests do not allow critiques to see positive steps taken by Mohan Bhagwat towards more inclusiveness. If RSS critics see Bhagwats contribution they will realise the same, and Hindus can only pray and hope for the same.
षड्यंत्र (सत्ता के लिये)
इस षड्यंत्र की शुरुआत हुई 2014 से। जब देश को अपने बापों की जागीर समझने वाले राजनीतिक घरानों और सबसे महत्वपूर्ण उन राजनीतिक घरानों पर अपनी वोट की एकता का दबाव डालने वाले तथाकथित अल्पसंख्यक समुदाय और उन अल्पसंख्यकों को राजनीति संरक्षण देने के लिये सत्ताधारी राजनीतिक घरानों को धन देने वाली विदेशी ताक़तों को एक अप्रत्याशित (unexpected) झटका लगा।
2014 तक जहाँ सभी सत्ताधारी राजनीतिक दल और सत्ता में आने की येन केन प्रकारेण प्रयास में लगे राजनीतिक दल ये मान चुके थे, और जो उनके दिलों दिमाग़ में आज तक बसा है की देश में राष्ट्रीय या राज्जीय सत्ता पाने का रास्ता विशिष्ट अल्पसंखयक समुदाय की ही गलियों से होकर गुज़रता है हालाँकि उन राजनीतिक दलों ने उन गलियों को भी कभी विकसित नहीं किया क्यूँ की वो उन गलियों में बहुसंख्यक के भूत का डर दिखा कर अपनी सत्ता की कुर्सियों को मज़बूत किये बैठे थे और उन्हें यक़ीन था की जो बहुसंख्यक समुदाय हज़ारों सालों से मूलतः इसी देश का निवासी होने के बावजूद अपने ही घर में बाहरी आक्रमणकरियों के अन्याय, आतंक, अराजकता और अपमान को सहन किए जाता रहा है वो कभी सर उठाने की जुर्रत नहीं करेगा।
लेकिन जहाँ एक ओर लगभग एक दशक से इस बहुसंख्यक डरे, सोये कमज़ोर समुदाय को एक आशा की किरण दिखने लगी थी वहीं दूसरी ओर सत्ता को अपनी विरासत समझने वाले राजनीतिक दल लूट खसोट और भ्रष्टाचार की सारी सीमाएँ पार कर चुके थे और इतने भ्रष्टाचारों के बावजूद भी उन्होंने सत्ता में वापस आने के लिए तथाकथित अल्पसंख्यकों को लुभा कर वोट पाने के लिये राष्ट्र विरोधी और बहुसंख्यक विनाशी अल्पसंख्यक क़ानून बनाने की घोषणा कर और देश के संसाधनों पर पहला हक़ सिर्फ़ अल्पसंख्यक का है बोल कर अल्पसंख्यक वोट को निश्चित कर सत्ता में वापस आने की अपनी कुटिल चाल चल दी।
लेकिन उन सबकी उमीदों के विपरीत हज़ारों सालों से प्रताड़ित डरे सोये बहुसंख्यक समुदाय ने अपने अस्तित्व को समाप्त होने से बचाने के लिए एकजुटता के साथ वोट देकर बहुमत से देश के सबसे बड़े राजनीतिक घराने को सत्ता से उखाड़ फ़ेक अपने होने का एहसास दुनिया और बाक़ी राजनीतिक दलों को करवाया।
सत्ता तो बदल चुकी थी किन्तु इसमें इतनी देर हो गयी थी की एक राजनीतिक दल को छोड़ कर लगभग सभी राजनीतिक दल ख़ासकर राजनीतिक घरानों वाले दल तथाकथित अल्पसंख्यक समुदाय, विदेशी ताक़तों और खुद के भ्रष्टाचार के कुकर्मों के इतने दबाव में आ चुके थे की वो ये मानने को ही तैयार नहीं थे की बहुसंख्यक एकजुट होकर सत्ता बदल सकता है।
जिसका परिणाम ये हुआ की एक के बाद एक राज्यों में भी राजनीतिक घरानों की सत्ताएँ जाने लगी। लेकिन जब तक इन राजनीतिक घरानों वाले दलों और भ्रष्टाचारी राजनेताओं को बहुसंख्यकों की वोट शक्ति का एहसास हुआ तब तक बहुसंख्यक इनके कपटी राजनीति इरादों की पहुँच से दूर वास्तविक उदारवादी एवं राष्ट्रवादी सोच की ढाल के संरक्षण में आ चुका था।
सत्ता के लालची सभी छोटे बड़े दलों और भ्रष्ट नेताओं की सत्ता में वापस आने की छटपटाहट इतनी बढ़ चुकी थी की वे सभी नेता और दल कभी मन्दिरों में माथा टेक तो कभी कपड़ों के ऊपर जेनऊ पहन उस बहुसंख्यक वर्ग को लुभाने का असफल प्रयास करने लगे जिस बहुसंख्यक को इन्होंने भगवा आतंकी और मंदिरों में लड़कियाँ छेड़ने वाला बता कर मंदिरों तक का अपमान किया था।
देश में नयी सत्ता के आने और उसके कामों से प्रभावित होकर और कुटिल राजनीतिक दलों एवं नेताओं द्वारा सत्ता प्राप्ति के लिए तथाकथित अल्पसंख्यक वर्ग की अनदेखी किये जाने दुखी होकर तथाकथित अल्पसंख्यक वर्ग का एक हिस्सा नई सरकार के समर्थन में आने लगा।
ये होता देख सभी देश विरोधी देशी और विदेशी ताक़तें और सत्ता के पिपासु भ्रष्ट और घरानों वाले राजनीतिक दल सब मिल कर अंग्रेज़ों के फूट डालो राज करो की नीति को देश में बढ़ती इस एकता को तोड़ने के लिए प्रयोग में लाने लगे और उन्होंने उसका पहला कदम उठाया 2015 में भीम आर्मी नामक ज़हर बना कर जो की बहुसंख्यक वर्ग के दलित हिस्से को बरगला कर एकजुट हुए बहुसंख्यक वर्ग को दलितों और सवर्णों में बटाने लगा।
फिर उनको मौक़ा मिला 370 हटने और राम मंदिर निर्माण के निर्णय पर तथाकथित अल्पसंख्यक वर्ग के उस हिस्से को तोड़ कर बहुसंख्यक विरोधी बनाने का को जो की नयी सत्ता के समर्थन में आकर मुख्यधारा में जुड़ने लगा था अन्ततः उनका ये प्रयास सफल हुआ CAA क़ानून के नाम पर झूँठ के आंदोलन को दिल्ली में ख़ूनी दंगों में बदल लगभग पूरे अल्पसंख्यक वर्ग को वापस बहुसंख्यक विरोधी बना कर।
जिसका परिणाम हमें करोना के लॉकडाउन के दौरान पूरे देश में तथाकथित वर्ग द्वारा डाक्टरों और सुरक्षा कर्मियों पर हुए हमलों और सब्ज़ियों फलों को संक्रमित करने की घृणित हरकतों में देखने को मिला।
फिर उनको मौक़ा मिला नये किसान क़ानूनों के नाम पर हज़ारों वर्षों से रही बहुसंख्यक वर्ग की मज़बूत ढाल को तोड़ने की। जिसकी नीव उन्होंने डाली पंजाब के किसानों को भड़का कर किसान आंदोलन के द्वारा, किसान आंदोलन तो बहाना था मुख्य मक़सद बहुसंख्यक वर्ग को तोड़ना था। किसान आंदोलन के नाम पर सिखों को खलिस्तान के लिए भड़काने का प्रयास कर बहुसंख्यक वर्ग को तोड़ने की असफल और घृणित चल चली जिसका परिणाम 26 जनवरी को देखने को मिला।
और जब उनको लगा की ये चल असफल रही तो अब जाट वर्ग को भड़का कर फूट डालने का असफल प्रयास कर रहे हैं।
इनके इस कपट को पहचानें और एकजुट रहें। यही हमारी शक्ति है।
जय हिंद जय भारत
बात कड़वी है
Despicable and deplorable desecration of the Red Fort: Bharat’s damaged democracy
As a proud Hindu, I was glued to my television watching India’s spectacular Republic Day celebration even 10,000 km away in the United States. It was a display of the stronger and emerging New India’s democracy, development, and an “Atma-Nirbhar” (self-reliant) Bharat in the making. The celebrations were deeply rooted in the culture, valor, and military-might making everyone proud even during the pandemic environment.
What was shocking and sad that January 26, the day when independent India’s constitution was unveiled, became the battleground of unruly and despicable behavior in the name of “Annadata,” the farmers who toil the land with their sweat and grow food to feed the millions. Sadly, those who breached the police barricades and misbehaved with the law and order personnel were not representing the millions of small farmers but unduly harnessing political profits and gaining unwarranted notoriety under their guise.
The most deplorable act in independent Bharat was the desecration of the historic Red Fort by those who were allowed the tractor rally and peaceful protests under India’s constitution on the pre-approved routes. The images showing tractors running wild and breaking barricades, the crowd chasing the police force and attacking them with swords and sticks. India had not witnessed the magnitude of the ransacking of the grounds and the interior of the Red Fort any time in recent history. The mob and hooligans, in my informed view, were neither the farmers nor their well-wishers but fully backed by political parties opposing team Modi’s accomplishments and outside forces, from as far as the U.S. and Canada, fueling the fire about the Khalistan movement of the yesteryears.
These misguided individuals committed the most unimaginable and unprecedented act of hoisting an unauthorized flag over India’s tricolor in the Red Fort, a proud symbol of the sacrifices by the millions for securing the independence of Bharat from the invaders. I call it the insurrection by India’s own who must be dealt with the highest punishment under the law. Their attack on the Red Fort was no less than an attempt of coup d’état and the most undemocratic act since independence in 1947. In many ways, the insurrection of the Capitol Hill in the United States on January 6, incited by then President Trump, parallels what happened in India on January 26 groomed by the dozens of leaders.
Being born in a family with limited farming and spending a few months each year, I know first-hand how miserable a true farmer’s life is on day to day basis. They show discontent about many policies through dialog and small protests, generally, within the confines of the district. The poor and fearful farmers are cared very little by the police and government officers, yet they have learned to live with their miseries for decades. I know for a fact that true farmers and the Annadata in the villages don’t have the resources and time to protest for months in and around Delhi.
I have followed the failed negotiations between the union leaders and the government. The so-called union leaders had no intentions to find an amicable solution. They simply exploited the farmers many of whom stood to lose big as middlemen in the Mandis. They are used to buying farm products at prices of their choosing even if there is a “minimum” price set by the government with little recourse because of deep-rooted corruption. They treat the poorly educated farmers with extreme disdain and disrespect. I speak with confidence that an Annadata will never resort to violence, destruction, despair, and an unrespectable act of flag hoisting at the Red Fort.
The most disturbing and disgusting is the union leader (Rakesh Tikait) laying blame and calling on police to have fired on the demonstrators in the Red Fort rather than appreciating their utmost valor and tolerance. The law and order personnel deserve our sincerest appreciation and the lawless demonstrators and their leaders the highest punishment. No crime can be bigger than the threat to India’s democracy by the home-grown extremists and traitors, and no punishment is big enough for them.
I challenge India’s legal system to charge the accused for the highest crime and punish appropriately including full reimbursement for the property damage caused by their actions. Let there be a clear and strong message by the Supreme court that while India will uphold every citizen’s right to peaceful protest, any form of attack on India’s sovereignty, democracy, and independence will not be tolerated.
As I write, I express appreciation to the union leaders who are expressing remorse and apologizing for the despicable act of destruction and damage. But those like Tikait must be called to the carpet and punished for inciting violence, threatening democracy, and desecration of the Red Fort. The law and order personnel must be commended for their tolerance while under attack by the violent protestors. I hope that the deplorable acts of violence and destruction are the beginning of an end to the farmer’s protest in opposition to the lawfully enacted Acts by the Parliament. The farmers may persuade the government to amend the Farmer Bills through well-intended negotiations if it benefits the farmers at large.
May Bharat’s democracy and harmonious pluralism continue undivided and unchallenged by anyone inside and beyond her borders. Bharat’s call for becoming “Atma- Nirbhar” is deeply rooted in its unity in diversity, and sustained democracy.
Shaheen Bagh and Singhu : Shah’s grand failure!
The anti CAA protests which saw the nation erupt in violence leading to the Shaheen Bagh Standoff and culminating in the Delhi Riots where dozens of lives were lost. The background of anti CAA need not be emphasised here but the failure of the government and the inept handling by the Home Minister, the modern Chanakya, a slur though, Amit Shah was supposed to be a Case Study for any future protests of the magnitude as the anti CAA protests. The anti CAA/NRC protests saw massive mobilising by every section opposed to the Modi government. Yet, the grand failure of intelligence agencies, police, civil services could certainly be a template for future protests but nothing happened, no lessons learned, no measures initiated to stop repeat of such protests, no rules, no regulations put in place to prevent similar violent protests. And, Delhi paid for the ineptitude of the Home Ministry & the Home Minister. The capital was taken hostage by sword wielding, horse riding Nihangs, Sikh protesters, and maybe some farmers too. It was the “Capitol Hill Moment” for India.
Modi government and the Home Minister after passing the important CAA Bill forgot the backlash it would create, maybe confident in their own beliefs of tackling the repeal of Art 370 peacefully did not bargain for massive protests and violence nor did the Home Ministry apprehend the culmination of the CAA protests in Delhi Riots. The failure of all resources available to Home Minister to convey the ground realities in case of CAA protests have replicated themselves in the Farmers Protests. But the larger question remains, “ was it collective failure or deliberate mishandling for political gains in case of CAA protests or was it the ineptness of the Minister in Charge ?”
Shaheen Bagh exposed the government mishandling. The government which rode to power with an absolute majority and more seats than the last time is supposedly seen as a strong government but the handling proved its supporters wrong. The poor beaten supporters still hedged their bets that next time government will not let a Shaheen Bagh redux and it’s once again Egg on the Face. Government or its minions may have any spin on the mishandling of the Farmers Protests but the naked fact staring at us is the Khalistani Flag flying at the Red Fort. There are conspiracy theorists spinning webs of Modi government exposing the Farmers protests as one led by anti national forces, of giving a loose rope for these forces to hang themselves, of exposing the perennial malcontents the Left Liberals, the Urban Naxals and the assorted opposition.
Whatever maybe the spin, it was a colossal failure of the Modi government and its self proclaimed Chanakya, the Home Minister Amir Shah. The protests have been raging for almost two months, very similar to the ones organised by the opposition to the government during the anti CAA/NRC protests, the modus operandi was uncannily same, hold ground, mobilise crowds, outsourcing protests to non farmers, getting the anti government lobbies, the media including the international media to create a hype over the Farmers Protests which it was not. International mouthpieces started calling these as the Biggest Revolt against the Modi government in its six and half years of power. Surprisingly, the government failed the counter the information war unleashed upon it , the so called Godi Media subsisting on this government’s patronage has been exposed too.
What has shocked BJP supporters is the unwillingness of the government to enforce the rule of law. It stood watching helplessly as the goons in garb of farmers attacked police, public property and stormed the Red Fort in the heart of Indian capital. Not that its arguments in SC reposed any confidence in the government, it was mostly in sync with the SC ruling a stay on the implementation of the new laws probably in hope of buying time for its political machinations to have effect. Surprisingly, it again did not take into account the resourcefulness of the forces arraigned against it.
The blockade of Delhi was almost complete with borders at Singhu, Tikri, Shahjahanbad, Ghaziabad picketed by the protesters, letting only the essential cargos moving into the capital. Then came the big announcement of farmers declaring a Parallel Republic Day rally in Delhi. The government was seen pleading in the SC trying to exhort promises from the lawyers representing the farmers totally oblivious to the fact that these lawyers were nothing but a clog in the giant wheel that these protests were. It was a hollow word given by likes of Dushyant Dave and Colin Gonsalves who were buying time while trying to be righteous in the SC
Amit Shah as Home Minister was aware of all the facts with all their permutations and combinations. A man who is thought to be an astute politician, organiser and a ruthless administrator, the twin failures of Shaheen Bagh and Singhu cannot be a coincidence. It has to be either a deliberately thought out plan or more likely a Grand Failure of his abilities to choke out these random protests. The protests in themselves are gaining a permanence in the thought process of the people in the country, it is reinforcing the fact that the government is unwilling to use all tools available to it to curb such protests which are primarily motivated by political forces rather than genuine reasons. The idea that a mob can dictate the course of action by the government is gaining recognition especially as seen in both anti CAA/NRC protests as well as the Farmers Protests. Shah has created an aura of strong man who does not bow down to the frivolities of politics when it come to administration and speaks his own mind, however, during both the Shaheen Bagh and Farmers Protests he has been in characteristically silent. This leads to another surmise, is he in control of his ministry or is he still recuperating from his Covid19 illness ?
Whatever maybe the case, the twin failures have cast a shadow of doubt over the abilities of the government in general and Shah in particular to combat the rising incidence of organised street protests against the government. The government is showing off its victories in the Bihar election as well panchayat elections in Rajasthan as proof of its Farm Laws as benefiting the farmers hasn’t worked well with the Farmers’ groups protesting in Delhi. The government knew that these protests were politically motivated and yet it singularly failed to overcome the political narrative even with the machinery available to it. It seems that the combined opposition has found a chink in the supposedly impregnable armour that is Modi Government and it will go for a Kill in the years to come if the BJP and Modi government does not wake up to the new challenge being thrown up by myriad forces who are not defined nor are visible in the environment. Mobs have taken down many a respectable governments who were afraid to use its resources to curb lawlessness.
