Be it Sudheendra Kulakarni ,Barkha Dutt or any other panelist of the elite English Language Channels one thing is common for all of them : Absolute Hatred for anything Hindu except the tolerance.
Before going deeper into this aspect, let me define who is called a hindu my sense : Hindu is a person who has belief in gods/powers originating from India. The above definition might put Atheists, Communists, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, Sikhs out of the Hindu category.
Our media intellectuals have abused the word Hindu so much that it makes no sense to use the groupings as such. The dalits(Scheduled castes and tribes, backward castes), OBCs, yadavs, patels, jats, marathas, etc which are powerful castes in local regions donot fall under the category of Hindus according to the popular narrative. The caste leaders have happily propagated this view for their personal gains.
The media narrative go like this : A backward cast family is attacked by the powerful yadavs but media projects the event at "Hindu mob attacks Dalits". The powerful project founders of Joshua Project want to pull away the Dalits into the Jesus fold so that their numerical numbers can be increased.
There are two faces to the rich Abrahamic religions - personal beliefs, political narratives. The ordinary hindus doesnot worry about these groups as long as it is a personal belief and doesnot bother about conversions. But the inducements by money, force, jobs etc is what creates a disharmony in the society which the Joshua Project employees use to increase to their benefit by the clever use of Media. Apart from the Joshua Project funders, there is also a group of Petro Dollar Mullahs who want to radicalize the youth.
The most vocal voices have abused the Hindu collectively for a random crimes that take place in the country. The Hindu groups that work without much financial backing are abused day in and day out by the media channels of all hues without trying to find the truth. How many padres, mullahs have apologized after it became amply clear that the Church attacks in Delhi were mere incidents without any communal colors. Zero.
Our Prime Minster in the hope of wider acceptance has even requested for maintaining peace and harmony. A typical hindu doesnot mind abuse of his gods to a large extent but whether the non-Hindu also behaves in the same way. It is here that the truth must be spoken and how our media plays its part to abuse and disrespect the Hindus.
We have seen many media intellectuals provoke hindus my saying statements such as
1) I have eaten beef, come and target me
2) Lets celebrate a waterless holi, crackerless diwali, etc
3) Atal Behari's birthday celebrations by way of competitions were also made mockery by Jesus Childs saying BJP is putting pressure on minorities
4) A big chunk of politicians have visited the muslim families when a local fight has happenned and when a muslim has died. The compensation is also quite huge that is offered if the dead one is a muslim
As i have already said earlier that Modi has surrendered the self-respect of Hindus and he hankering for statemanship. India wants foreign money for development but the foreign money needs a venue to make profits. Its always been give and take and it is what a Hindu should do but the dhimmis what we are made to be makes one to be slave to the rich and powerful. Otherwise why should we tolerate the likes of Yasin Malik, Arundhati Roy, Sudheendra Kulakarni who continuously make anti-India statements (i would say anti-Hindu statements) be supported. It is their country but is it right to abuse the nation which gives them protection and soldiers die for protecting the sovereignty.
Many anti-BJP people believe that Kargil war is BJP's war and hence love Musharraf for killing Indian soldiers. This seduction of Musharraf is another way to rub in the face of average Hindu, patriotic minority(Christians, Muslims, etc). Why we talk about minorities specifically is for the reason that they are the biggest abusers of the majority in all locations and their voice gets amplified and for usually wrong reasons. How many people from minority community apologized for false blaming hindu community over the decades in hundred of instances. Unless this false abuses stops it is always the responsibility of minorities to prove their patriotism.
We respect Kalam, Abdul Hamid, the Khans of bollywood, John Abraham, Jonny lever, Yesudas, Mary Kom, Mahesh Bhupathi, Javed akthar, Shabana Azmi, Dilip Kumar, and many others for their works alone and not based on their religions or their any other beliefs. If any starts using their religion, then it becomes apparent that for the particular individual religion is more important identity and abhramic religions being out of India, it becomes a condition to prove patriotism. Else why else would a Hindu bother about other person's beliefs unless you rub it in the face.
Personally I respected Modi because of the belief that he upheld the law by firing on the rioters without any bias. Hindus and muslims have died in quite a big numbers and it was the price that the real fringe needed to pay to maintain harmony. The state was in much harmony and people like Jafar Sareshwala engaged with Modi and spread his message of saab ka sath, saab ka vikas and BJP slowly began to win over the muslims who could see with clarity without any inherent bias.
Apart from this Modi opposed the money to be paid as scholarships to muslim children which was against the norms of any society. Any poor child to be supported but it was taken to courts and I believe the courts have ruled against Modi. It for his acts for being religion neutral and upholding secularism combined with development talks has attracted huge support. But disrespecting the core vote base is never going to help even though Modi makes all he necessary infrastructure. The development was talked about in 2004, strong leadership in 2009 has failed to garner increased support to BJP.
Generally speaking neither a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or any other group doesnot want violence, it is only when the justice fails disharmony sets in. How many riots or communal tensions we see daily? Why is that closer to elections that these events get highlighted and what is the action? Why is that only the hindus are blamed and not yadavs, patels, jats etc?
Modi has nothing to lose and India may not gain much even if Modi succeeds because for India to recover its lost glory, first the average Hindu needs to feel respected. Getting respect from the government is a big ask, but firstly average hindu should not be abused for merely being a hindu.
The way to maintain the winning ways are known to BJP and there are several able people to give honest suggestion but whether the BJP wants to hear?
The bigotry of Petro Dollar Fellows and Functionaries of Joshua Project should be exposed and it is the only redemption and the only way forward.
We have believed in Vasudaiva Kutumbakam and not every has belief in it. Many believe in segregation and go ahead with it covertly and a few overtly.
Knowledge and wisdom to all
Om shanthi
