Mr. PM Modi, get your act straight...

State and Religion being together leads to a disaster, the prime example being Pakistan. NO this is not a problem of Islam, but the mix of Religion with State, Power and Authority. Any Religion for that matter.

A Government, State is for the People, irrespective of the Religion, caste, creed or the class of the people. What we see in reality is that the State is for the rich firstly and secondly for the majority, majority in terms of Religion.


People struggle and die for the basics of life of food and giving a blind eye to this, people fight and kill over Religion. The Nation and Leadership should distance itself from such matters. When the PM reflects a certain Ideology and Religion, he is born into it or not, it doesn't matter. Once you are the PM of the country, the religion, place, caste, or even political party for that matter should not matter. As one is doing the greatest service to the Nation, and still if stuck to these issues, it will be a disservice to the Nation in itself. I know what I am talking is impractical and too naive.


When you are representing a Nation, you are representing all the citizens and not the majority. Every vote is important, and people's opinion matters, isn't that the whole essence of Democracy, aren't we the world's biggest democracy..? Or just in name?

  

So I have every problem with ‪#‎PM‬ ‪#‎NarendraModi‬ gifting religious texts to the leaders of the Central Asian countries..
I don't have a problem with religious texts.. This issue could have been  handled with more sensitivity, if he had gifted all the Religious texts of India and not just Gita. He would have gifted Gita, Quaran, Bible, Guru Granth Sahib also along with Gita, as that reflects what India is, multi-religious, multi-cultural and not a Hindu country, just because Hindu's are in majority. Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and all the other religions in India are equal, all the people belonging to these have equal right in the country as citizenry, the spirit, is what an Indian is and not the religion, especially not the majority religion. 

I fail to understand the logic people give that we are one of the two Hindu majority countries, and what is the problem if he gives Gita?, as it preaches peace, humanity and is the best book in the world, an ideal gift. Well, yes, we are a Hindu majority country, but that's all we are, a Hindu majority country. Not a Hindu country, We are a Secular country. Unless it is changed in the constitution, I would like people to understand and perceive it that way.
The other thing about Gita being the solution to all the world problems.
So is every other Religious text, according to all the Religions. So can we just skip it and go beyond it, but no the PM had to make a point by giving only it.

What harm right? There is every harm in it. May be the mild, liberal Hindus, not but the extremists and fundamentalists of the Hindu's (now don't start with the nonsense of, that the extremists are not real Hindus and all, as is the same with all religions, i will see what is in front of me right..!!!), will take it up in pride, that he took only a Hindu scripture and hence, he is projecting himself as a Hindu, which he may be, but right now he is heading the office of the Prime Minister of the Country, not a Hindu pundit, who is travelling the world promoting Hinduism.

Another harm is that it empowers the nuisance power of these extremist and fundamentalist groups which in turn causes communal and religious violence and makes the minority feel unsafe.

Even if nothing of this happens, the message it sends is wrong. The gifting of one religious scripture by the PM of the country who represents various other religions too. Religion in India is a personal thing, not a state matter. People do not understand this. Just because Hindu's are in the majority, does not give any right to the PM to do this.

Also, I feel he missed a great opportunity, as Modi is representing the largest ‪#‎Democracy‬ and when there are hardly around 56 countries that are democratic in the world, wouldn't it have made sense if he gifted the ‪#‎Indian‬ ‪#‎Constitution‬ to the world leaders when he visits them?
And that is when he himself had said once (before elections Ofcourse) that the "Constitution is the holiest book for him, above all"... Spreading the essence of a Constitutional Democracy, where people matter (in principle at least) should have been the thing to do rather than the religious texts.
This would have demonstrated that India is beyond ‪#‎Religion‬ and ‪#‎Hinduism‬ and we really care for people, and through governance it can change people's lives, not some nonsense.

Why I will criticize Modi..

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.
