Ram Sethu: ‘Secular’ Politics of the ‘worst’ kind.

 

For past two days we have been watching this drama, triggered by the “Secular” Congress. Just see the chain of events…

- Government (led by Sonia Maino Gandhi) files an affidavit denying the very existence of Lord Ram.

- Major uproar on streets.

- Sonia’s – here to now abandoned –‘inner voice’ woke up from deep slumbers and she ‘intervened’ and Govt. and the dirty harries in the service of ‘Her Majesty’s ’ started pouring cold waters on frayed tempers.

 

 

 

Now being what I am “A Hot Blooded Communal Blogger of no significance”, here is MY TAKE.

 

But before, I start my ‘communal’ rant, let me make three points.

 

1. I support the ‘Save Ram Sethu’ movement and pledge my unconditional support.

 

2. I disagree with all those (many of them romantic poets with their heart at right places but severe lack of coordination between ‘Head and Heart’) who believe ‘politics’ is necessarily bad. And it is only BJP/VHP who plays dirty games. Well, I hold no brief for either so spare me of personalize attacks. But at the same time I have strong political views which may be reflected in my posts and before you accuse me, I accept that “I am biased and prejudiced”. At least I unlike – media – do not claim any objectivity or balance.

 

3. In this post, am trying to analyze the ‘political’ overtones and motives behind the Congress Sonia’s latest move on the “Guided and Intentional” assault on Hindu’s faith and belief.

 

 

A close look at the events and it is ‘evident’ that Her Majesty’s Govt did exactly what they wanted to-do. The affidavit filed by them was no mistake or mismanagement by the Congress’s Dirty Harries. On the contrary it was a well thought out ‘operation’ to gauge the public sentiment.

 

How? Ok, let me explain.

 

All that the Govt needed to do was to tell the court that there were no scientific reasons to believe the claim as made by the VHP. But the Govt went further, much far exceeding their brief. Center on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that there was no historical evidence to establish the existence of Lord Rama or the other characters in Ramayana.

Pray, tell me where the need to say all these things was? They could have simply avoided this with out actually diluting the strength/ merits of their arguments.

BUT then why did they say, what they said and questioned the ‘Historicity’ of Lord Ram and his existence? It is simple. It is now known to all that we are heading for mid-term elections. Only when- the timings of impending mid-term elections, is a matter of speculation. Congress with an eye on its ‘Muslim Vote Bank’ – as is evident with its ‘minority’ appeasing spree and a deluge of announcements – unnecessarily dragged the ‘historicity’ of Ramayana and Ram Charit Manas in a bid to appear more ‘SECULAR’, which is only possible when you denounce any thing related with ‘HINDUS’. The more you ‘berate’ Hindus the more ‘Secular’ you become. This is how ‘secularism’ is defined now days.

 

WHY?

Because Congress takes ‘Hindus’ for granted. As they believe – though sad, but rightly too – as a fragmented society. So they take ‘sadistic’ pleasure by ‘deliberately’ offending the Hindus sentiments every now and then. Sadly though, Hindus tolerate insults heaped on them by the ’secularists’ ,suffering in silence, but for this time.And I am glad.

I dare the Congress and its allies to challenge the ‘historicity’ of Quran or Bible!

 

The Game plan and what did Congress Sonia Maino Gandhi expect to achieve?

They expected the same what has happened. Ram has been an integral part of Hindu ethos. So the backlash was spontaneous and huge and natural– though this time evens the non VHP/BJP supporters too lodged strong protests. Hindus justifiably reacted the way they or any body of any faith would have reacted if a deliberate attempt was made to challenge his/her faith. But the sheer size and spontaneity of reaction made the Congress camp jittery and they panicked. This operation had gone ‘horribly’ wrong so the urgency of disassociating Sonia, lest her image is sullied. And as always, efforts were made to distance her from the issue. Congress needed a face saver, so suddenly Sonia Maino Gandhi’s “Divine Intervention”!

All of a sudden Congress’s dirty harries came out of woods to tell us just how much the Sonia Mata loves and reveres the Hindu !?

May I ask? Where was her ‘deep belief’ in Hindu Gods and Goddesses when this affidavit was being drafted? Do not kid me by saying she didn’t have any knowledge! Any body who has even an iota of sense knows how the Congress works; equally know it is impossible for even an ant to move without her ‘explicit’ consent.

 

Lo and Behold! “Secular, Liberal and Progressive” Main Stream Media (MSM) too joins the circus.

The stinking and stinging MSM throw its hat in the circus, so u see a ‘deluge’ of reports and prime time shows depicting Hindus (protesting against the deliberate vilification of its most revered God) as some ‘blood thirsty’ demons. Communal, fascists’ forces obstructing the progresses of the Nation! How the ‘communal’ VHP and BJP are hell bent on destroying the ‘secular fabric’ of our country! We are told incessantly how the BJP is playing the ‘communal’ card for the Hindu votes! “OH you COMMUNAL Hindus, you are disgrace to the ‘secular’ nation”, they said!

An aside- I could never understand why seeking HINDU votes is communal but alluring Muslim Votes (even disgustingly using Osama look alike in election campaigns) is secular!

Anyway! I know no body will answer.

 

Then a ‘somersault’ and some verbal ‘gymnastics’ by the MSM informing us how the Sonia Mata has ‘intervened’ and restored the ‘sanctity’ of Hindus cultures and ethos!

And when did u hear media was “independent, objective and unbiased”? Oh! Really?

 

Effectively Congress has achieved its twin objectives…

- To prove to Muslims that they (Congress) are more ‘secular’ because they have ‘dare’ done what no body had ever done, yes not even communists…. Challenging the ‘historicity’ of lord Ram.!!!

- It has effectively portrayed BJP as a communal force as they stood for Lord Ram and protested against the Govt’s move. Muslims are warned by the Congress about the resurgence of BJP so they (Muslims) vote strategically with the sole purpose of defeating BJP candidates. After all if BJP is contained then all the ‘secular’ allies will again form the UPA (Unholy Perverse Alliance) post elections. Just like they managed post last elections.

 

So this is the Game. And Congress is the master of this game, after all it has been practicing it since Nehru’s time and Indira was a past champion of this game. Well! Sonia too is learning fast and has mastered the art to great extent.

As for BJP, well they might still think and correct selves sooner the better. I believe BJP failed to do well in last elections despite being fairly efficient in governance, not because they were seen as a Hindu Party. They lost because they were not seen as HINDU ENOUGH PARTY.

Prudent Indian.

Must read what my good friend Yossarin has to offer.

An Offstumped bhajan for 10 Janpath in these torrid times, it can be recited to Jagjit Singh’s tune for comfort and solace.

just when the polls were looking up

Karat’s goose all cooked up

we had no inkling of this impending storm

that sinking feeling … Hey Raam Hey Raam

Yogendra had it all sewn up, this election

all I had to was make people believe his fiction

I am now left all at sea with SethuSamudraam

that sinking feeling … Hey Raam Hey Raam

here I was doling out freebies, thanks to my man Manmohaan

Sachar doing an item number I was assured of the Musalmaan

but along came Dorjee with his blasphemous excavatiaaan

that sinking feeling … Hey Raam Hey Raam

she betrayed my trust, Ambika, how be-imaaan

deliver us this one election, Rahul is still naadaan

save us from the people’s wrath, even Lalu is pareshaan

that sinking feeling … Hey Raam Hey Raam
