BJP expanded rapidly. That vacuum was filled by opportunists and gems alike. One such gem is Kapil Mishra. Like so many of us, he was moved by Anna Hazare's anti corruption crusade and joined hands with Kejriwal. You can listen to him describing AAP motto. He like many found out later that Kejriwal turned out to be the exact opposite of what he had set out to be.
Needless to say he realised that AAP was no place for a conservative Hindu and he joined hands with the BJP which continues to be the only option for Hindus in India. Mishra, like so many other's is truly disturbed by this constant bickering amongst Hindus. He pointed out at the Digital Hindu Conclave, it's time to REALIZE & ACCEPT the presence of the "Enemy at the Door" & without any further delay and before our decline worsens, we need to create a Hindu Ecosystem.
Like so many of us, Kapil Mishra is truly pained by Hindus fighting Hindus. In his own inimitable manner, he points out those Hindus who are constant critics of every move by Modi sarkar. He literally begs them to let those of us who are fighting for the right and not be a modern day Shakuni or Shalya and try to sink the entire ship for the sake of their egos. We would like to add those Hindus who stay home instead of going out to vote. We would also like to further add that we all rise above "what has BJP done for our caste" and try to imagine the knife's edge that Modi walks every day trying to be the PM for ALL Indians.
When you watch the following video, you'll realize that he like many of us dreams of the kind of unity that Sikhs and Muslims have because that is where they draw their political power.
The one topic that he avoids (and understandably so) is the responsibility PM and HM to protect those Hindus who are participating in an existential fight in states like WB and Kerala. But one fight at a time.
The topic of Hindu unity is very near to our hearts. As we had said in an old post on our blog, that Hinduism is the glue, which unites this disparate country of ours. We know that regionalism and casteism have created a very nasty atmosphere in the country where we face xenophobia even without leaving the country. But as much as we may hate each other, we stay united not because of any reason but Hinduism. If you believe that (unless you are a leftist liberal) then you realize that the future of our country as it is now, depends solely on the Hindus staying united in face of pseudo-secularism and militant minorityism.
Back in 2013, we had written a post where a frustrated Muslim, Dr. Mohd. Sajjad posed some tough questions for Akhilesh Yadav and shredded votebank politics bare. But he steered clear of what needed to be done by Muslims, and by corollary, the Hindus. This is where we can appreciate the value of the stand adopted by Wasim Rizvi who an ex Chairman of the Shia Waqf Board. As we have said that future of India lies in her Hindu identity. Now we can hear a Muslim say the same thing. In this video, he affirms our belief that we are locked in an existential battle and unified voting for our own interests is of paramount importance. DO watch the following video.
So there you have it. An ex AAP member and a Muslim are convinced that the Hindus need unite and exercise their political power of vote in a united fashion. In that manner we have two unlikely warriors for the cause. Now if they can see the importance of such a unity, there is no reason why those who actually practice the faith can rise above so many reasons which divide and work for what unites us. Our survival depends upon it.
