Modi, Yogi and Fadnavis: Comparing the CMs

Back in 2013, Sanjay Singh in an article absolutely worth reading again said:

More than anyone else, Togadia himself should be acutely aware of his own and the VHP’s near complete irrelevance in Gujarat today. This has been reflected during the last two assembly elections that Narendra Modi won. The VHP’s cadre base has shrunk and Togadia is struggling hard to stay afloat in the state.

Even today, PM Modi gets accused by the far right Hindus as betraying their causes. The fact is that Modi is an India first kind of Hindu which means he puts nation first and his faith second. Of course this does not mean he shies away from a proud public display of his faith. Thanks to him, Yoga is an international phenomenon with Saudi Arabia embracing the practice. This is just one of the example.

His India first attitude gets displayed by his passion of keeping peace at all cost which is essential for prosperity. This approach has earned him a different variety of invectives but clearly he could care less. After the post Godhra massacre riots (his inexperience let him down). But after that, as we all know, there was NO incidence during his tenure as CM or after him. He went after the troublemakers hard despite of their affiliations. VHP was sidelined and Jihadis were dealt with decisively. This is a man who places a lot of dividend in peace because it IS important for prosperity. As a CM, he was second to none.

Now as we all can see UP CM Adityanath is probably the second most popular person in BJP. A mahant of the Gorakhnath mutt, he is completely unapologetic about his faith and the way he practices it. If you rise above the media din and smear campaign launched against him by these so called conservatives, you will see that underneath the saffron robe is a pragmatic man who is fair (as Muslims in Gorakhpur will tell you) and is inspired greatly by Narendra Modi. A report in Economic Times says the following:

Adityanath aims to model the investor summit on Vibrant Gujarat, the popular biennial investor summit started by Modi in 2003. Adityanath had a morning meeting with ten of the country's prominent bankers, including State Bank of India chairman Rajnish Kumar, Central Bank of India chairman Rajeev Rishi and Dena Bank chairman Ashwani Kumar among others, inviting them to open regional offices in the state.

Adityanath spoke of planned reforms and investments in infrastructure, civil aviation, food processing, tourism, film making and the dairy industry. He said the state government is bringing reforms in labour laws and scrapping as many as 1,200 obsolete rules.

It is therefore no surprise that the UP CM puts great importance on law and order. The following was said in an NDTV report:

According to data released by the UP Police, between March 20 and September 18, there have been 431 encounters, in which 17 criminals were killed; two policemen died and 88 were injured; so far, 1,106 criminals have been caught.

In a sort of a prequel to the debacle at BhimaKoregaon, proactive action at Saharanpur and the eventual arrest of Chandrashekhar Azad of Bhimsena controlled what could have been a disaster.

On one hand the Yogi is creating tourism hotspots in UP and on the other inspecting homeless shelters for adequate protection against the cold. Just like Modi, this is a one man army.

Now Yogi inherited possible the worst state in the entire union unlike Devendra Fadnavis who got this plum job as CM of arguably the most prosperous and economically robust state. All he has to do is maintain.

However the coolest first couple of any of the states in India have tried their best to be a Not-Modi-Not-Yogi CM. Destroying Hindu run budget schools by implementing RTE, aiding the “Be Santa” campaign (clearly ashamed of their Hindu roots), absolute Muslim appeasement. Of course the worst is the latest debacle in BhimKoregaon where urban naxals and jihadis ran amok under the garb of dalits to open up really old wounds with the ultimate aim of dividing Hindus along caste lines for the benefit of Congress. All Fadnavis had to do was to be proactive like Yogi Adityanath and all this could have been avoided. Instead he and his wife are more in news because of their love for dogs and picking up fights with RW twitteratis.

Fadnavis needs to emulate Modi and Yogi in proactive governance and maintain a strong law and order in a state that is so much easier to govern than UP. He needs to govern his state like Modi and Yogi – with firm hand and respecting everyone. The algorithm for good governance is there. All he and others have to do is to conform to it with sincerity without abandoning your faith.

Major Gogoi, General Pershing and Tactics To Win Wars

History is replete with examples of dirty tricks used to win or even gain an upper hand in wars, conflicts even business deals. One such example is from the Moro rebellion in Philippines when the Moros were carrying out suicide attacks against the American forces. There is some debate about whether General Pershing ordered the following or turned a blind eye but this is what is agreed in an article in Time magazine (respected leftist source):

In 1941, TIME ran a letter to the editor from a soldier named J. R. McKey who had served with Pershing in the Philippines decades before. In the letter, McKey describes using pigs in burials to deter Muslim insurgent activities, but does not ascribe the act to Pershing.

McKey wrote, "U.S. soldiers ... had a pretty good cure for juramentado [Moro swordsmen] activities. Knowing the horror of the Mohammedan for any contact with swine, and particularly with its blood, these American roughnecks, when they had killed a juramentado, held for him a very public funeral. The body of the defunct bad man having been deposited in the grave, a pig was brought, stuck, its blood sprinkled freely over the D B M, the dead pig thrown in with him, and the burial completed."

Some reports do say that Pershing was engaged in burying Muslims with pigs or throwing pig's blood on them. According to the History News Network, a Chicago Daily Tribune article from 1927 describes Pershing sprinkling prisoners with pig's blood, then setting them free to warn others of being doused with the blood. "Those drops of porcine gore proved more powerful than bullets," the article wrote.

Christopher Capozzola, a history professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also cited an incident in which Pershing brought a pig's head to a ceasefire negotiation with a Muslim leader.


Wars and conflicts should not happen in an ideal world but they do. If one can use out of the box thinking in ending wars then it should be considered a win-win. Loss of life is irreversible. Everything else can be settled by peaceful negotiation.

The stone pelting in J&K (without going into a detailed discussion of the how and the why) is clearly a Pakistani funded operation and these stone pelters are like daily wage workers for the ISI. China has outsourced their anti-India operation to Pakistanis who then have sub-contracted it out to these unemployed youths who ideally should be in schools like the rest of the angry, scared and frustrated young Indians instead of taking on a professional army.

We all saw what Major Gogoi and his troops did. Tying an Indian youth to the front of the jeep, trussed up like an animal. I am quite sure that this poor guy was scared for his life. For the observers, it invoked different feelings. For some it was an outrage and others a “paying back in the same coin” event. But no sensible Indian can really brag about it.

Having said that, the one thing that is getting lost in the story of fear and outrage is that no lives were lost, no one was hurt- neither the stone pelters nor the soldiers. From that perspective (loss of life being an irreversible reaction), it was a damned good day and Major Gogoi (who must’ve done this out of frustration) must be commended and supported for this.

The left on the social media is latching on to a statement by retd. Lt. Gen. Panag. First and foremost, the Lt. Gen. is an Indian citizen who has the right to speak his mind and should not be abused. But his being in the army should not put him above criticism either.

Civility in Indian political discourse was lost long time ago. But critics of Maj. Gogoi’s tactic should appreciate that no lives were lost because of him and that is and should be the crux of the story.

Religion of Peace


Some fundamental questions to the religion of peace.

If Islam is a religion of Peace, why are governments spending billions defending us from its followers?
Why is it that Islam has  moderate and radical followers?
Why do followers of Islam scream "Allah Uh Akbar" while committing heinous crimes?
How does Jihad, in Islam, become a passage to Heaven for its followers?

Modi, Jaitley, Swamy Conundrum

This is one of the most interesting subplots in our politics of the recent times. I have tried to explain the behavior of the men involved to my friend Swamy with little success until the much ballyhooed reshuffle (a real damp squib). I think I know what’s going on. Let’s go over a little about the three men.

The PM: Anyone who has ever read this blog knows that we are bhakts and damned proud of it. He is a true karmayogi, a visionary and a true leader. He has his ways of working which has served him well so far. To question his political acumen is like showing a lamp to the sun.
A novice to the cruel and corrupt world of Delhi politics, he needed a man like Arun Jaitley who made himself indispensable to the PM (especially with Advani lurking in the background and loyalties of Swaraj, Gadkari et.al. up in the air). As per Madhu Kishwar, Modi always takes a couple of years to study the landscapes and then make informed decisions. In the interim he needs men who can show him around even if they are wheelers and dealers.
The PM also kept the RSS at bay during his tenure in Gujarat. Global economy and a diverse population often demands an all-encompassing vignette.

Arun Jaitley: After a very impressive initial career in politics (ABVP, youth leader in BJP’s infancy), he began to practice law and did well for himself. A consummate Delhi-wallah, he became an insider who had friends across the board. In fact, no matter who won at the center, Jaitley remained relevant. He has not won a single general election and has always came through the Rajya Sabha. In the Modi-Advani fight, Jaitley chose well. His ability to navigate the murky waters of Delhi politics made him indispensable to the PM.

Subramanian Swamy: A brilliant economist, well read, tenacious and a person of unimpeachable integrity is somewhat of a modern day crusader whose quest for justice is only matched by his inability to control his temper. He has a tendency to undo a lot of good by making loose statements. We are huge admirers of his.

RSS: Of course the story remain incomplete without the most important character. A truly patriotic organization whose members are true sons and daughters dedicated to Mother India. RSS is led by elders who could use a refresher course in global economy and technology.

BJP needs RSS to win elections. If that was not clear enough, it became more so in the recent Assam win and a strong showing in the Red Islamic Republic of Kerala. RSS members are going to play an extremely important role in upcoming elections. Modi needs RSS. Of course ten lost years of UPA 1&2 show that RSS need Modi for India to remain faithful to the cultural nationalism espoused by them. But the way Modi sidelined RSS during his tenure in Gujarat makes the RSS elders wary of him. These elders have this need to keep an eye on Modi. These elders also do not trust and like all the members of Modi Sarkar. It is clear to all but the politically blind that Swamy does not like Jaitley and what he stands for. Jaitley represents and has greatly benefitted from this corrupt ecosystem where mutual back-scratching is the norm and helping the ideologically opposite commonplace. In fact because of the extreme rot that has set in national politics, it was our fervent belief that an outsider like Modi would clean it up. So when we saw his dependence on Jaitley, we justified it by saying that Modi needs him for a short duration. But Jaitley has gone from strength to strength despite of non-performance and some really dubious stands. In fact other than Modi and Amit Shah, no one would miss Jaitley if he were to retire tomorrow. It is in this light that one can see Swamy’s role who clearly is there to help the RSS elders see Jaitley out. In fact that has earned Swamy millions of fans in the BJP.

I have often tried to figure out what Jaitley brings to the PM’s table. He has no voter support. Any lack of ground level success cannot possibly endear him to the BJP cadre. His record as FM has been lackluster. He has not been able to get any concessions from the Congress as it was visible in those washed out Rajyasabha sessions. So why does the hardest working PM in our history suffer this man? I guess somehow, Jaitley has proven his loyalty to the PM who clearly stand by those who have been loyal to him. Another thing that could be at play here is that the more RSS pushes the PM the more rigid his stand becomes. We hope for the nation’s sake, that the mutual need does not deteriorate into a mutual destruction.

To his credit, Swamy has be unequivocal in his support to the PM who in turn has been very diplomatic. Swamy quest for justice and bringing political criminals to justice can only benefit the PM’s Congress-mukt Bharat campaign. While the PM may not have needed the RSS in Gujarat, the same does not hold on the national lever where he really needs them. The corrupt Delhi ecosystem HAS to be cleaned up for the BJP to reclaim its ideological terra firma. Modi Sarkar could really use a dynamic Finance minister who can work as hard as the PM. We need a law minister who is not related to a Congressman. For all this to happen, if the PM has to sacrifice couple of his men then it is for the good of the nation and his possible second term. After all, this is for the greater good which is what the PM wants out of the RSS elders.

JNU, Jadavpur Should Be Privatized

The recent incidents at JNU are different things to different people. To the leftist liberals, media, Communists and various India baiters, it was an assault on freedom of speech. While that is true, these people ignore the responsibility that comes with that freedom. Death threats, screaming fire in a crowded place, destruction of property or the country for that matter are not protected even in the freest of all societies. Therefore calling Narendra Modi fascist, “Maut ka Saudagar”, murderer etc. is permitted but calling for destruction of the private or national property which includes the nation itself are not protected.

On the other hand, we have the man in the street struggling with day to day issues of life. To this man J&K is low on his list and Afzal Guru was a terrorist, convicted and hung by a liberal government. This man sees the terrorists attack and kill our young soldiers. He sees soldiers dying on glaciers to protect the nation. To this person, food, shelter and safety means everything. To this man, the farmer, the soldier and contributors to the economy (workers and job-creators) mean more than the ideals of a terrorist like Afzal Guru.

Please do the following exercise. Ask the following question to the man in the street: Would you rather have an Engineering college like IITs, Medical colleges like AIIMS or liberal arts colleges like JNU? What do you think the order of preference would be? What kind of an institution does a man on the street want funded by his tax money?

American Ivy league universities have defended the rights of JNU students. Let us talk about these universities. Harvard is a bastion of left wing liberalism and model liberal arts institution. The likes of Noam Chomsky (he is at MIT) run riot at that place. The authority of the US government establishment if routinely flaunted. Columbia University hosted Ahmadinejad. Professor Pete Singer at Princeton University defends the right of parent to kill their children. However, these universities also produce great legal minds, leaders – political and business and extraordinary scientific discoveries. And they do it all without any money from the taxpayers. Since these institutions are private, they can do whatever they want of say what they want as long as they are being “responsible (no death threats or destruction of private or public property including the country)”. After all the American in the street may be disgusted by Professor Pete Singer but he can’t object to it because Singer is not on public payroll.

It is this distinction that makes JNU and Jadavpur University the hated places they are today. Their hero, Umar Khalid is doing a PhD in a subject that makes him unemployable anywhere except another institution like JNU – perpetuation of meaninglessness. Imagine a scenario. Khalid, Kanhaiya Kumar et.al. are protesting and calling Narendra Modi every name in the book. They are berating every institution in India. They are even mocking Hinduism (like Aamir Khan did in PK) but are not espousing division and destruction of the nation. Also imagine that JNU is privately funded. Do you think that there would be any outrage against JNU?

I think time has come to defund non-productive institutions where career PhD students take around close to a decade to finish their degree (which are of no economic value to the taxpayer) while on public largesse. They want to study philosophy or art then let them find leftist billionaires like an Indian George Soros and fund JNU or Jadavpur Univ. Let them become the Ivy League universities of India – productive, innovative and economically viable. Let them produce wealth creators who in turn donate large sums of money to their alma mater. After that JNU students can protest all they want (of course they still cannot espouse sedition).

Before some eager beaver jumps up and raises the point of educated Engineers who have studied on government dole and are working abroad, let me come to the defense of these engineers. Most of them send large sums of foreign currency home, create business opportunities for Indian companies and (increasingly) bring technical and business knowhow back to India. Even the worst of these guys contributes more to the Indian economy than a typical JNU student.

We have lots of welfare organizations in India. Every government department hires way more people than they ever need. Helping them that way is still more productive than pumping money in institutes where students are taught no life skills. To use an old cliché, they are fed fish but not taught how to catch a fish. It is time to let these institutions free. Free them of the government shackles. Let them be free to think. Let them become self-sufficient. Let them become Harvard and Princeton of India. Yes. Let them become private organizations.

Can You Say One Nice Thing About PM Modi?

When my wife started to work for a crèche (child care center) one of her colleague (Ms. T) got into trouble. Ms. T developed a visceral hatred for a child and made no efforts to hide it. The child was having difficulty settling in the place and was acting out but he was a very smart boy. Ms. T’s bad behavior towards the child got reported. This was an eminently salvageable situation. Ms. T was put to a test and was asked to say one nice thing about this child. It was clear that her job depended upon the answer (The crèche had a strong policy about prejudicial hatred). Because of her intense hatred for the child, Ms. T could not come up with one nice thing to say about the child. The child stayed. Ms. T had to leave. Her hatred got the better of her self-interests.

Since 1947, we have had many PMs. Most of them were elected against our (the Hindu nationalists’) wishes. And yet we always found something nice to say about them. For all his faults, Nehru is credited wholeheartedly with installing a functional education system and ensuring the timely formation of the constitution (as opposed to what happened in Pakistan). Despite a lot of faults, Indira Gandhi did the right thing and did not stand in the way of division of Pakistan. Manmohan Singh is widely credited with India’s economic revival (with no credit given to PVN Rao). We have accepted all that maybe grudgingly but we have. But the sentiment has not been reciprocated by the liberals of India when it comes to Narendra Modi.

PM Modi is a hated person in Pakistan but if you watch their news reports on youtube, you can see that despite of their hatred for him, grudging admiration leaks out from time to time. Good things are said about his record, work ethics, honesty, simplicity and a whole host of other abilities that the man possesses. Even if you do not agree with anything that the man stands for, the one thing that cannot be denied is his personal honesty. Kejriwal claims to be an honest person but we all know how flexible his definition is. Manmohan Singh was called honest but to save his chair he let all his ministers steal with impunity. Only PM LB Shastri comes close to Modi in terms of honesty and simplicity. Can you name one leader of a nation whose family (siblings) continue to be virtual nobodies even after the leaders election? This man is honest to a fault. Calling him honest is an easy decision.

Indian liberals and leftists have done their worst in the last 15 years to destroy this man. Their hatred for him dwarfs the hatred that India’s enemies have for him. Now they all have seem him work and perform for almost two years. They still cannot say one nice thing about him. The entire Indian media, so called intellectuals and assorted liberals are clones of Ms. T. If it were up to them, they would have Modi drawn and quartered. They would send him to the depths of hell, knowing full well in their hearts that he is the best option India has. I want to tell these Ms. T clones that he is not going anywhere because of that little thing called democracy. Find one thing nice to say about him. Accepting him will bring you peace that way it did us for lo these many decades. Once you have done that maybe you can find it in your heart to help him help the nation. We all benefit if the nation benefits. Don’t let your hatred for him get the better of your self-interests.


For our readers, we post translation of Gunvant Shah's article in Chitralekha magazine.

Somabhai Modi reached my residence at sharp 11 o’clock on January 3. The visit was pre-decided. Somabhai is the elder brother of Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi but there seemed no sense of arrogance on his face. We discussed various things for almost one and half hours. In our discussion, he said, “Yes, it is true that I am an elder brother of Narendrabhai but not of Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi.”

I asked Somabhai “Have you ever visited Prime Minister’s residence at 7 Race Course Road?” The answer was memorable, “No Gunvantbhai…if I go to my brother’s home, he has to spend atleast 15-20 minutes with me but I don’t want to take this time which will be a loss for the nation.”
I wish, Kantibhai (son of Morarji Desai) and Robert Vadra (Son-in-law of Sonia Gandhi) could have shown such gesture!

Somabhai told me, “Till today, no one from my family, our mother or brothers, have visited PM’s residence.”

Is it a small thing? In many cases, relatives have been proved a reason behind politician’s fall. On the other hand, Somabhai has never even thought of taking advantage of his brother’s position.

I requested him to share a memorable moment where Narendrabhai showed what he is made off and he shared the following event:

When Narendrabhai was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, one day he came to my home. At that time, my son Jitendra was in the last year of engineering. Narendrabhai asked him some questions.

Narendrabhai: How are your studies going?
Jitendra: I will get a BE degree next year.

Narendrabhai: What will you do after that?
Jitendra: Will you help me to get the job? (Narendrabhai didn’t reply)

Jitendra: If I can get some financial assistance…
Narendrabhai: Has anybody helped your uncle? You should move up in life on your own!

This is a rare incident in Indian political history where the Prime Minister or The Chief Minister keeps such a distance from his family members. The leader’s lack of attachment maybe understood somehow, but can we imagine the same approach from his family members too?

Somabhai never mentions about Narendrabhai while meeting other people. This kind of approach of elder brother is also worth applauding. Even after 20 months, the mother of India’s Prime Minister has not visited the residence of his son in Delhi. In contrast, I have seen many saints who maintain relationships with their family members.

I was speechless when he left. I salute the mother of such a son.

Mr. PM: The Corrupt Must Be Brought To Justice

Two points before we discuss the topic.

Machiavelli is credited with the following: “If an injury is to be inflicted on an enemy, it is to be so severe, that the enemy’s retaliation need not be feared”. Since we are talking about politics, the injury etc. is of political rather than mortal nature. If Lalu Yadav were in jail (which is where he belongs), do you think Nitish Kumar would have won Bihar and hurt the BJP so badly?

Consider the following tweet:
‏@IndiaSpeaksPR
In 2019 Cong leaders will ask "If UPA was so corrupt, then how many of us are in jail today?"
How will the PM will explain that to the people?

First of all, I am not talking revenge or punishment or destroying lives here. What I want to see is justice to prevail against those who have robbed, pillaged and hurt our country grievously. Because that is the right thing to do and it will restore people’s faith in our system.

But strictly speaking as a BJP supporter, I want the corrupt to be punished for the following reasons:

a. So that like Lalu Yadav, they cannot hurt the BJP politically. Corrupt leaders like Mayawati, Mulayam Yadav, scam tainted TMC, DMK, AIDMK, Congress leaders all must pay for their crimes. If they are all in jail, then they cannot pose any challenge to the BJP. With Vadra in jail and Gandhi family in court, defending themselves, India becomes Congress-mukt without any effort while doing the right thing. Imagine Salman Khurshid, Kapil Sibbal, Digvijay Singh and all other scam tainted Congress leaders in the court, facing music instead of making seditionist statements, embarrassing the nation.

b. The scam tainted and corrupt journalists (there were enough of them involved in 2G and NDTV was just given a show cause notice for FOREX violations) should be in jail or on the defensive. Clearly we cannot boycott them for their sins. Maybe we can get rid of them (fortunately guys like Tarun Tejpal and Hasan Suroor are already helping us out). After decades of no accountability and practicing guerilla journalism, these guys were halted in tracks by the social media further accountability needs to be introduced in the form of justice.

c. Modi Sarkar has done a good job by forcing transparency in the finances of NGOs. This will also limit foreign influence in our polity.

d. As we have said before, Bihar was won by caste arithmetic. It was not Prashant Kishore’s slick campaign (Well Mr. Kishore, aren’t you proud to have helped illiterate sons of a thief who cannot even speak their mother tongue properly?), it wasn’t Nitish Kumar’s ability (why would JD(U) lose vote percent and get less seats than RJD) and it wasn’t entirely BJP fault either (their vote percent went up). It was the Muslim-Yadav-Kurmi combination of votes. Now similar combinations are being envisaged all over the country and Prashant Kishore has become as hot a commodity as Amitabh Bachchan was in 1970s. If we lose UP, we can forget 2019 general elections. We really need to clean up UP politics by speeding up various scam and disproportionate cases. This will reduce the black money flow into UP as well as “wound” some of our biggest enemies. Passage of GST bill will not have as big an impact on poor UP voters as seeing some of their corrupt leader (especially from SP and BSP) being held accountable.

e. Of course, this also means that the corrupt and the insiders in the BJP should also be raked over coals. Last thing an honest man like the PM needs is to be accused of hypocrisy.

PM Modi’s generous overture of inviting Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh has done little to change the Congress’ behavior in Lok and Rajyasabha. Brazen lies and then false accusations by Kumari Selja is what is referred to as “Chori uspar seena-zori”. Well if they want to continue to do so then there is another saying – “laaton ke bhoot baton se nahin maantay”. Today another theory has been put forth. It may be possible that Rahul Gandhi camp may be opposed to the passage of GST bill hence they will continue to misbehave. Therefore talking to Congress has become like talking to Pakistan – do you talk to elected leaders or do you talk to the army? As the inimitable Madhu Kishwar says:

PM @narendramodi naive in thinking by burying NH fraud,foreign accounts list & countless scams of Gandhis, he can buy peace with SoniaG 1/2

It may be time to practice Subramanian Swamy style politics. All the corruption cases as mentioned above need to be fast-tracked. Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship issue should be given a very high profile. Lalu should be sent back to jail. You see, all this will be in the interest of justice and restoring the voters’ faith in the judicial system. Any benefits to the BJP will only be incidental.

Why is everyone so angry with Aamir Khan?


When a privileged person like him makes a statement like he did, you have to understand people feeling betrayed. Adnan Sami wants to become a citizen while Khan wants to leave. The reason I am upset is because Khan is acting at the behest of certain political parties. Just when the intolerance debate died after BJP drubbing in Bihar election this man resuscitates it because parties he supports want to derail what could be a very productive winter parliamentary session. Shiv Sena the Party which is offering one lakh to slap Aamir Khan is struggling to stay relevant which is why they do outrageous stuff(unforgivable nonetheless). 

Indian media is really vested in some parties because they get filthy rich using political proximity. Current PM(Secularist & leftist hate him)is threatening the status quo. Really the Mainstream Media has been peddling lies, the truth was suppressed.  It has now come out that Ikhlaq who was killed for eating beef was actually killed for a personal animosity but the actual murderer riled up a mob for his end. Now you can look upon this one murder as a crime or you can indict the entire billion people. Way too many of these so called communal killings / violence is due to personal stuff. 

Like the church that got vandalised. It turns out that the priest reported a nearby gambling den to the police. The gundas took revenge and burned the church. Media immediately reported this as a communal thing. It is easy and with Modi at helm - beneficial to the media.

Muslim-Yadav Defeat Modi. Will Destroy India.

The title is for effect, “inspired” by Bihar results but I do have a point to make. In Bihar we had a government which worked. Nitish Kumar was the benign face while the real work was done by his colleagues from the BJP. Of course Kumar took all the credit and became Sushasan Babu while Sushil Kumar Modi, for reasons best known to him, stayed quiet.

Of course a lot of crowing is going on. The biggest bête noire of the left is on the defensive and the entire left and secular brigade of India and secular and conservatives of Pakistan are celebrating. They have bested the big bad Modi and given the reins to the epitome of virtue and integrity – Lalu Yadav (don’t be fooled – Nitish Kumar is about to become Manmohan Singh of Bihar). These delusional fools in India (am not concerned about their friends in Pakistan) are ignoring a scary specter. I will come to that later but let us first examine why BJP lost despite of an increase in vote percent and Lalu – Nitish won despite losing the same.

Despite of what the secular brigade and talking heads on TV tell you, the truth is far more unsettling. Sandipan Sharma (no Modi fan he) says the following:

Facts don't lie. A breakup of votes polled by the two alliances shows a difference of 31 lakh in 2015. This is almost identical to the difference of total votes between the NDA and JDU+RJD+Congress in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, which was almost 31 lakh. So, in absolute terms, the Mahagathbandhan retained its Lok Sabha lead over NDA in the assembly polls.

What Sharma does not mention in this article is that the common vote bank of Lalu-Nitish combo was that of Muslim – Yadav – Kurmi who overwhelmingly voted for the grand alliance. Congress playing the third fiddle actually attracted some misguided upper caste vote. All other reasons are false – only thought up to embarrass Narendra Modi. The actual reason is far scary.

Despite of all the progress made by India, it still is a battle between the have and have nots. It is going to continue to be so. Not to belittle the concerns of the have nots, a point of concern is that most have nots are people belonging to lower castes and assorted groups. Of course when a group of people has to survive eating rats, then their concerns are going to be different than those of the upwardly mobile. People in power need to address the concerns of the poor and the destitute. But then there are those who vote out of sheer selfishness or prejudice. The selfish people are those who proudly claim that daughters and votes should be given to people of the same caste. Prejudicial voters are those who vote because of hatred either fueled by personal experience or fomented by media or demagogues. The Muslim – Yadav – Kurmi combo not only vote on caste lines but nurse seriously prejudicial hatred for the BJP. If combinations of this kind can be cobbled over the entire country then no matter what kind of progress driven campaign you run, you WILL lose especially in states like Bihar. THIS is the scary specter. We can easily slip back into the days of Charan Singh, Devegowda, IK Gujral like leaders which will make us fondly remember the decisive leadership of Manmohan Singh.

Selfish, myopic and ill-informed voters are the bane of any democracy. Those voters are far worse for a country like India.

It is the responsibility of the central government to address the concerns of the weakest if they want to continue with development agenda. It is the responsibility of the media and their ilk to inform the ill-informed the truth. As far as the BJP government is concerned we can be sure that not only will they not get any help from the media but they can expect concerted campaigns to damage and destroy the government. Therefore it is the responsibility of the informed voters like the middle class Hindus to unite and vote with their brains and not along the caste lines. They must remember that the “enemy” has united. We are therefore in a fight with casteist idiots, Muslim ummah and media traitors. We are fighting for the nation’s progress. We are fighting for our freedoms. We are fighting for our nation’s soul. Unite and vote otherwise stay divided and get destroyed.

You want proof? Next time you see a liberal ask them one question and see then squirm: In what realm of which planet is Lalu Yadav (or Lalu Yadav backed Nitish Kumar) a better option than Narendra Modi?

Indian Idiots Helping Pakistan

Two statements first:

A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within - Ariel Durant.

In political jargon, useful idiot is a term for people perceived as propagandists for a cause whose goals they are not fully aware of, and who are used cynically by the leaders of the cause.

“Pakistan is an enemy country” belongs in the “Sky is blue” folder. That country’s formation was a heinous crime committed on India by so called well-wishers. People who stopped a complete partition (we lost land and still ended up with the second largest Muslim population) or forced Nehru by sidelining Sardar Patel are revered and almost worshipped. They were well meaning people but they knew less than nothing about statecraft. Nations are born with spilt blood and not with hope and goodwill. The saga of useful Indian idiots in not a new one. Aman ki asha is the new name for Satyagraha.

Our great nation has had to suffer some of the worst and myopic leaders. Nehru’s well-meaning approach to leadership led to Hindi – Chini bhai bhai. Indira’ myopia surrendered the great advantages of the 1972 war to that clever bastard Bhutto but at least she split Pakistan in two thereby making our eastern border somewhat safe. She was way more of a man than the guy who followed her. Morarji Desai was another well-meaning idiot. In a very good article, Mallika Nawal writes that RAW could have caused irreparable damage to Pakistan nuclear program but for Desai:

By analyzing the hair samples of the scientists (collected from the barber shop near the plant), RAW discovered they had indeed developed the capability to enrich uranium to weapons-grade quality. And thus, unbeknownst to Pakistan, RAW managed to infiltrate the Kahuta plant in 1977.

In fact, in early 1978, the entire blueprint of the Kahuta nuclear plant was offered to India for a measly sum of $10,000 by one of RAW’s Pakistani agents. However, as dictated by protocol, RAW needed the PM’s approval. Unfortunately, Indira Gandhi (the woman who founded RAW) was no longer the PM. The Janata Party was in power, and Morarji Desai, as Prime Minister, now held the reins of RAW. Desai, who had a strong aversion to RAW, rejected the agency’s request.

And in a further and final act of betrayal, he inadvertently informed General Zia ul-Haq, who had usurped power in Pakistan by deposing Bhutto in July 1977, that India was well-aware of Kahuta and Pakistan’s nuclear programme. As it emerged from later reports, the military dictator went about eliminating every single one of our agents and assets, thus forever leaving us in the dark about Pakistan’s nuclear weapons programme.

No wonder then, that Morarji Desai is the only Indian recipient of Pakistan’s highest civilian award, the Nishaan-e-Pakistan. You can’t blame General Zia for ingratitude!

In another excellent treatise (in New Indian Express) it is written:

Political masters have historically compromised Indian intelligence. In 1978, during a brief phone conversation with Pakistan ruler General Zia-ul-Haq, Indian prime minister Morarji Desai inadvertently mentioned that India was aware of Pakistan’s nuclear programme. The ruthless General immediately ordered RAW assets in Pakistan to be found and neutralised. Subsequently, Indian agents were eliminated as their helpless handlers watched. Yadav says whatever intelligence network was left in Pakistan after Zia’s bloody cleanup was further destroyed by I K Gujral when he was PM in 1997-98. “Gujral had a serious allergy to RAW and the first thing he did was to suspend all offensive ops within Pakistan. Even the IB was asked to go slow on Pakistani agents operating in India. In approximately 11 months, he systematically erased the organisation’s footprints in Pakistan to promote his peace doctrine,” Yadav reveals.

Interestingly, only few months after Gujral’s decision to suspend RAW’s Pak operation, the agency prevented a Pak-sponsored attack on his convoy in Jalandhar. A top secret A-category input from the RAW station in London had warned about five militants travelling to India to attack the prime minister’s convoy. Surveillance was mounted after their flight touched down at Delhi. A team of Indian intelligence agents apprehended the terrorists after they picked up their weapons from a pre-decided location in Punjab. Meanwhile, unhindered by any political influence, ISI continued to exploit the vacuum created by Indian politicians.

Atalji was another peacenik with great love for Pakistan but at least he kept his eyes open and did not hold back during Kargil (of course Operation Parakram and the Kandahar hijacking totally reversed all the good he did). Of course during the Manmohan Singh decade, Pakistanis were kept happy. Despite of all the cajoling, the pakis kept attacking and in true Christian way, we kept turning the other cheek.

There we have it. A long line of well-meaning Indian leaders who inadvertently helped our enemies. The term useful idiot is an apt one for all of them. But that is not the end of it. There exists a cottage industry of such idiots in the media, academia and social work who somehow think that peace (at any cost) with Pakistan is the cure for all ills of our great nation. The damage this section of the society has wrought on the nation and continue to do so is for all to see.

But what is really flabbergasting is that the so called right wing has inadvertently playing into the hands of those who want to bring shame to the nation. Mr. Madhav Nalapat has written a good one on the topic (url below). Throwing ink at someone like Sudheendra Kulkarni is one thing but to inflict violence upon the innocent or the non-capital crime committing guilty does nothing to improve our image in today’s global village. You should read the gleeful comments being made in Pakistani newspapers in the aftermath or the recent beef related violence or the Kalburgi murder (NO MATTER WHAT THE PROVOCATION – WE ARE NOT MUSLIMS!!).

We finally have a PM who is trying his best to put the nation on the right path but he is facing opposition at every stage. Congress with 42 MPs managed to successfully sabotage the progress oriented bills. The useful idiots are working hard in ensuring that (all kinds of problems are propping up in front of the PM just before the elections. Have you wondered why?

All things said, we should thank our stars that Pakistanis are arrogant and stupid. If they were anything like the Chinese or Russians, they would have destroyed us long time ago. Of course if they had managed to destroy us, then  there would be lots and lots of Indian claimants for the Nishan-e-Pakistan or Sitara-e-Pakistan.

BJP Leaders Need To Practice “No Comment”

Long time ago in discussion with a Muslim from Pakistan (during my graduate school days in the US), I asked him if he believed that people like Alexander Fleming (Penicillin) and Louis Pasteur (vaccination) are in hell. He said that his religion says so and therefore he believes that they are in hell. This guy was pursuing a higher degree in Engineering. Religious fanatics are extremely self-righteous and detached from reality. I used to be so happy that barring some, Hinduism did not have such idiots and most people were very accommodating of diverse thinking and habits.

We always had those who thought that non-vegetarians were somehow inferior to the vegetarians. But it was limited to turning up of noses and never violent. The recent anti beef actions resulting in tragedies are something of an anomaly. The anti-beef brigade will tell you that all countries have some kinds of meats banned so why can’t we? Since I am a meat eater but not a beef eater, I say fine. We should ban beef. After all, it is the most uneconomical meat. Pork is the most economical so we need to promote pork in India. As far as Muslims are concerned, they can still eat goat and lamb (or if you are Salman Khan- an occasional deer). Giving up beef is not exactly a major sacrifice. After all, all Muslims emulate Arabs who have no access to cows and eat lambs and camels. The point is that let us make strict laws about beef and cows. Let us have well defined punishments. After some whining, dust will settle and we will be a beef free country. After that, if some criminal decides to kill a cow (after all, despite of capital punishments Hindus and other Indians still murder and rape) then arrest them and punish them to the fullest extent of the law. But as in all other kinds of crimes, let us not form mobs, tale law in our hands and lynch. Do we do that to murderers? Did we invade Tihar and kill the rapists and murders of Jyoti Singh Pandey aka Nirbhaya? Remember it is only a matter of time before someone like me is eating goat meat at home and get lynched for it.

But there is another tragedy which is far more damaging (from the big picture perspective) which is the motor-mouths of the BJP and RSS. There exist a number of leaders in BJP who are small, petty men with huge egos. These men think that they need to speak their minds whenever there is a microphone in front of them. Now we all have thoughts that we express in private and different ones on the same topic in public. This applies doubly to politicians who are supposed to lie with ease. However when it comes to the topic of beef and Muslims, these men need to shut up or say “No Comment”. Clearly these men lie with ease when it comes to their personal lives. Why do they have to stir up controversies and provide the leftists and mainstream media with sticks to beat PM Narendra Modi. When Khattar make a statement, people forget that Modi as CM had kept RSS and VHP out of politics in Gujarat and maintained the kind of communal harmony that Congress and Secular party ruled states can only dream of (Post Godhra massacre riots notwithstanding. REALLY!). After statements made by RSS leaders or the likes of Sakshi Maharaj, the PM has to stop his work and defend this nonsense. Mohan Bhagwat’s time is not important but the PM who is doing outstanding work needs to focus on his work and nothing else. These motor-mouths are hurting the very cause they brag of supporting – the progress of our motherland. So my appeal to them is please shut up or learn how to say no comment. Please do not derail the progress train.
