Narendra Modi has been the victim of the longest running defamation campaign in
India's political history. It's more than a decade since 2002 when media,
left-liberal mafia, Islamists & communists and congress propaganda machine started
their hate campaign against Modi. If one looks at the propaganda then she finds
that same lines are being repeated every time and not only this but same propaganda
has been going on for the last 60-70 years against nationalist forces! But opposition
to Modi and the systematic mis-information campaign and slandering against him is
the most shrill ever seen in India. It is therefore, necessary to analyse why Modi
has attracted so much hostility that opposing forces have abandoned even the basic
precautions of wearing the masks this time. The opposition to Modi stems mainly
from following factors-
Hinduphobia- The Hinduphobia is so engrained in the minds of leftist
brigade that it is perplexing some times. In their eyes Hindus are inherently fascist,
communal and inferior people who have no right to self governance and empowerment.
In fact they have no right to survival or to preserve their culture and spiritual
traditions. That is why genocide of Hindus during Islamic invasions when some 80
to 100 million people were butchered is whitewashed and praises are written for
the barbarians who did that, that is why religious prosecution of Hindus in Pakistan,
Arab countries and even in India is ignored or labelled a communal topic, that is
why ethnic cleansing of Hindus in Kashmir is blamed on Hindus themselves or ethnic
cleansing of Bodos in Assam is dismissed with a straight face. Needless to say that
this attitude is inherited form the colonial masters, after all what the communism
is all about? Nothing but a strand of western imperialism and hegemony and on that
a failed and disastrous one. So strong is the Hinduphobia that they have woven a
whole fantasy world of “historical and social" analysis to "prove"
how evil Hinduism has been and the only way out is total annihilation of Hindus.
So anybody who talks about one of the largest ethnic cleansing in world in Pakistan
and Bangladesh is shouted down as a fascist and communal because victims were Hindus
and Sikhs. What is logic of Hindus in Muslim lands anyways, goes the Hinduphobic
thought process! Hinduphobia has eaten up their brains to such an extent that they
even side with the most regressive and barbaric forces of Islamofascism and shower
praises on Taliban and feel "secular" in company of like of Jilani and
Bukhari!
It is, therefore, intolerable for them to see a leader who is proud of being a Hindu
and can rise to great heights without resorting to Hindu bashing. It is intolerable
that he refuses to wear skull cap or splashes his pictures of throwing Iftar party
unlike seculars like Mulayam who is only seen in the pics wearing skull cap and
making dua at Iftar parties but never in a temple or performing puja! It is blasphemy
that Modi refuses to believe that all burden of Hindu-Muslim unity is only on Hindus.
After all when do we see any Muslim politician ever accepting Tilak on his forehead
or throwing party on any Hindu festival? Of course it never occurs to Modi bashers
that a Hindu too can have religious rights and sensitivities like others and horror
of the horror a Hindu can have right to reject. Modi has demolished the anti-Hindu
propaganda and stereotypes by showing the world the meaning of Hindutva through
his developmental works and achievements. He has revived the Hindu administrative
ethos of the old-honesty, loyalty, hard-work, impartiality and entrepreneurship.
It is the spectre of the return of the Gupta-Chola administrative culture, splendours
of Vijyanagar and dedication of Maurayans which is haunting leftist-congressi mafia.
And they are leaving no stone unturned to malign Gujarat and Modi.
Castism- It gives nightmares to castist-communal-communists, Congressi
elites and upper caste Muslims that Modi does not belong to the so called upper
castes but to a caste which lies low in the castist hierarchy. But he has broken
the glass ceilings and threatens the little cosy world of the traditional elites
by his mantra of mass prosperity and equality. And that he has done so without evoking
caste politics is something which has shaken the whole political dispensation and
the leftist "academia" (in fact less of academia and more of propaganda
machine).
In the castist-communal-communist pseudo history Hinduism is the religion of some
invading "Brahmin-Baniya" aryan invaders who imposed it on the indigenous
people. Therefore, all others should not follow Hinduism (and convert to other foreign
religions!)
They mean that Dalits, tribals and the masses of India had no history, culture,
religion and civilisation but all they think is theirs is actually imposed on them
by invaders. In true castist mentality they believe that people never had any brains
of their own and were not capable of creating their own culture, spirituality apart
from what some Aryans imposed on them. And even today they are incapable of deciding
good from bad and must, therefore, follow what the comrades tell them or evangelists
feed them. By propagating this myth they have sought to systematically de humanise
the Dalits, tribals and others to create a rootless and alienated people which can
be used as the cannon fodder in their "revolution". In this they are enthusiastically
joined by evangelists and Islamists who are sensing spoils for their schemes.
It is this game which has been upset by Modi's Hindutva -A proud assertion of
people's Dharma and willingness to stand up for the spiritual freedom and rights
of Dalits and tribals and other oppressed sections of society and not to let them
become a hunting ground for predatory religious organisations or to be tortured
for being Hindu by castist-communists.
This is beyond belief for mostly upper caste, mostly rich, mostly urban leftist
mafia, congressi Rajas, media persons and "intellectuals". The upper caste
Muslims, the promoter of Islamism and admires of foreign Turks and Mongol overlords
of India, are insecure about their power and wealth to which they have grown accustomed
to while muslims masses lived in deprivity. When was the power in the hands of the
Indian muslims in the much glorified "Muslim rule"? Irani, Turani, Mughalani
aristocrats schemed for power while Hindustani Muslims with their Hindu brethren
worked in fields and paid taxes to fill the coffers of these invaders! Modi by refusing
to buy in the distorted version of the history and calling Delhi sultanate what
it really was-a barbaric military occupation of India by fanatic and often psychic
overlords-threatens the hold of dogma of religion and pseudo history of past glories
over the Muslim masses. By championing the mass prosperity without paying homage
to religious identity he has become a headache for Mullahs and Maulavis who are
rightly sensing the ground slipping under their feet.
That a so called low caste person can be the fountainhead of so much dynamism, efficiency
and intellect is intolerable for castist leftist and media establishment and thus
these two are hostile to him to the extent of insanity.
Communalism- Modi by his straight forward refusal to do politics
of communal appeasement and symbolism has become target of the all the communal
elements in the country especially communists. He has focused on development and
prosperity rather than caste and communal mobilisations. And by this he has enhanced
its appeal across the religious, regional and caste divides. This upsets the game
plan of those who seek to keep India permanently fractured along communal lines
and gives sleepless nights to the old political guard who simply cannot imagine
a post communal politics.
Development- Modi's politics of development and not of emotions
and identity challenges the status quo of the political culture in India. He offers
no Muslim reservation, no free laptops, no subsidies and no other freebies but his
work record and developmental agenda. Gujarat has grown under him as the dynamic
hub of opportunities, business and entrepreneurship. It is attracting not only investments
form India and abroad but also the talents. He has promoted a liberal and market
friendly economic policies and thus increased prosperity, jobs and social mobility.
The caste system is based on the two foundations-endogamy and denial of economic
freedom. People are trapped in their respective professions which they have inherited
by the accident of the birth. The central point in the caste system has been the
denial of the economic freedom often enforced by the perpetuation of the violence.
And it is on the economic freedom that all our other freedoms rest. The caste system
can be broken only by providing antidote-economic liberty-to the fundamental reason
that sustains it. Modi by following this policy has rattled the socialist brigade
who see the lifetime of their work collapsing like a heap of card. Caste system
cannot be overcome by socialism as many people falsely believe. In fact, caste system
is very much like socialism as it imposes the dictate of the society on the individuals,
reduces the scope of individual entrepreneurship & choice and places the society
above individual. People are told what they should think rather than what they actually
think. Socialism can only strengthen caste system and identities as can be seen
in communist dominated states of W.B, Kerala or heartland of socialist politics
i.e. U.P, Bihar etc.
The double digit industrial and agricultural growth in this global recession is
envy of the whole India. Modi has proved that the decisive and visionary leadership
can deliver results and that he is the most efficient and visionary political leader
in the country. This gives cold feet to the samajwad typos who never want people
to come out of castism and poverty otherwise who will be fooled by their samajwadi
utopia? The Likes of Mamta, Mulayam, Commies and Congressi are sensing the coming
rebellion in the states they continue to oppress as the Gujarat model convinces
more and more people that things can change for better and Hindutva is that change.
National security-Modi's no nonsense approach to the internal
and external security stands in sharp contrast to the manipulative and cowardly
approach by the opposition. In the ten years of the Modi's rule Gujarat has
seen no communal riots (with the exception of the 2002 riots after a Muslim mob
burned train coach at Godhara and when Modi had just assumed power). Whereas U.P
is burning under communal riots under "secular" Samajwadi Sarkar, In Assam
illegal Bangladeshis are doing ethnic cleansing of the helpless tribals, In Hyderabad
fascists and communal elements like MIM's Owasi are having the free run! But
of course nobody is calling Mulayam-Akhilesh or Tarun Gogai fascist or communal.
It is clear Modi is being targeted for very different reasons which have nothing
to do with 2002 riots or concerns for minorities. Modi's refusal to even entertain
question of religious or ethnic identity of the terrorist worries those who ask
for mercy for Afzal Guru and Kasab or LTTE terrorists. The prospect of Modi in charge
has rattled the powers that be who could count about weak and reptilian politicians
to save their pets in the name of minority or majority grievances and manufactured
dissents. It is clear that Modi will not tolerate these sinister forces like those
behind Kundankulan protests, Maoist vandalism or aggressive evangelism wearing the
mask of human rights and anti- caste discourses which seek to install a sense of
alienation among different sections of the society. These forces have not found
any foothold in Modi ruled Gujarat and they fear that their free run in rest of
India will come to an end if ever Modi assumes the national role. Hence, the massive
and unprecedented international campaign by “rights" groups and lobbying
with foreign governments by shadowy groups against Modi.
But despite these shameless efforts by sinister elements to malign Modi his popularity
has risen across the country and sections of the society. His recent interview to
Shahid Siddique (which drove seculars to silly theatric, even expelling Siddique
from S.P) and Google hangout broke the siege the Media had built around people and
Modi. Modi's work and track record speaks for itself and that is why people
have given repeated mandate for him and his government. That is why he is the most
preferred candidate for the top post in the country. Nothing can stop the awakening
of the people who are desperate to get rid of corrupt-castist-communal-communist
political culture to which India has descended.

India’s Guangdong says Economist
Editor – In 1972 late Indira Gandhi’s election
slogan was Garibi Hatao. In 2004/2012 her daughter-in-law’s slogan is Aam
Aadmi. Both were targeted at the poor Indian. You might wonder why the election
slogan has not changed in forty years. I believe that a whole industry consisting
of NGO’s, Congress/Socialists politicians, left leaning activists want Indians
to remain poor because i.e. the reason for their existence. Similar to public sector
companies like MTNL/BSNL who did not want competition so we had run to their offices,
plead for a phone connection that did, in those times, take five to ten years to
get.
If Indians become richer this entire group of people referred to in the preceding
para might not know what to do. A similar analogy is Pakistan’s hatred for
India since 1947. The day it stops hating and trying to equate itself with India
its Army and Jihadis might not know what to do.
