Why I will criticize Modi..
Why I
criticize? Because I have nothing better to do, may be. But I criticize because
I care. Because I cannot take bullshit and nonsense and I will speak up my mind
and about what I feel is going wrong. It
doesn’t matter what public opinion is as it can be misleading or as we have
seen it is with the majority and majority is not necessarily right. It causes
Tyranny of the Majority. I haven’t cared much till now what others think of me
or will think if I do something, it is mostly not relevant to me, until I
believe in what I am doing is the right thing to do. Well right and wrong and
all are subjective, depends on situation and also a lot of philosophical, so
let’s not get into that.
I have
a serious problem with people drawing a line. Like the USA had drawn during the
“IRAQ invasion”. If you are not with us, you are against us. Same thing during
the India “Against Corruption Movement”, if you are not with Anna you are for
corruption. I was like fuck off. I dint
support it because I felt there are important and really effective things to do
like calling back the MP’s and making them more accountable than going on the
road to protest for a parallel, huge bureaucratic system to keep a check and
balance on the corruption of the rest of the bureaucrats and expected to be a non-corrupt "Lokpal", it was idiotic for me. I
had my reasons and even if I had none, still I wouldn’t go just because I felt
like it, and that makes me pro-corruption, right these are the public
perceptions and ideals they create.
I felt
compelled to write this because, there is a new trend emerged since the BJP and
especially Modi has come in Power. If one says something against Modi, or his
policies or his silence or his approach or anything other than how great he is
or how best he is doing it is considered “UNPATRIOTIC”. (As it is my patriotic definitions are changing since the BJP and RSS call themselves patriotic. Still i have a problem.) It is not even that one
is against him, it is directly Unpatriotic. What the hell. When and how did my
Love for my country and its people, its values (some which are left hopefully)
its aspirations, all got converted into 1 person. No this is not acceptable, he
is the PM and that’s all he is, he is not the metric of whether I love my
country or I care or I am pro or anti development or not. No.
I had
rejoiced Modi on his Independence Day speech, when he called himself “Pradhan
Sevak, Chief Servant” of the country and how he made himself to be felt amongst
the people and all. I have criticized before every possible minister and Prime
Minister, exercising my Democratic Right. It doesn’t matter if I believe in it
or not, I will exploit it, what I have at my disposal. The problem people have
is that if I am opposing Modi, I am supporting congress. Why on earth I will do
that, I have criticized and personally attacked some ministers of congress so
badly that, they could have committed suicide if they would have read it. So who
I am against and whom I am supporting. I will support who does good and when
and fuck up everyone who fucks up. It is as simple.
What
Modi has done in building the Foreign Relations is commendable, it is beyond
anyone, who had done it before (credits to Ajit Doval), still he listens to
good advisors is a great quality.
At the
same time I will criticize and
oppose when Modi is silent on the dirty work BJP VHP RSS and other communal
organizations are doing since he is in Power. It feels like chained dogs are
unleashed since he has come in power. I
will oppose him when he asks his MP’s not to speak nonsense and give
political mileage to opposition, but not controls them from hurting the
minorities. I will oppose him if he
still fails and continues to fail to understand that he is leader of the Nation
and not of a fucking religion and everyone has equal rights and the minorities
are more equals. I will oppose him
if he talks of development and not looks after the people for whom the
development is and only serves the corporations under its smokescreen. I will
oppose him till the time he acts on what he said and not just makes great
stunts and PR statements.
I will
criticize Modi and all the others who fuckup, irrespective of the party and
affiliations, as it is my Right and the
one which I have decided to stand up by, the right I am and will exercise.
