  • Islamism, individualism and feminism vs Hinduism

    Islamism, individualism and feminism vs Hinduism contextual illustration
    Contextual editorial illustration for the restored article.

    This article is going to be based on SM experiences on our past articles. On the cultural agenda, we have tried to highlight two broad assaults from Islamism and feminism, which come together and make a deadly cocktail for the survival of Hindus in their homeland. The reason these issues get entangled is because in a democracy, more than anything else, numbers matter. You can enforce your agenda if you have numbers — otherwise you can go for a hike. Muslims, though few in numbers compared to Hindus, have excellent organisation skills and have enforced their agenda either through voting or riots. While Islam is still debating polygamy and divorce alimony in India, urban Hindus have adopted liberal memetic themes like individualism and feminism with an open heart.

    If Hinduism were facing any one of these problems, there was a good chance to fight back and reverse the damages. But the problem has been exacerbated by the fact that all these forces have attacked India at the same time. On the one hand, Muslims have maintained a higher TFR than Hindus in all regions — as can be seen by their increasing numbers. On the other hand, few Hindus have realized this as a problem due to sickular ideology taught in schools. But even those who have acknowledged it have failed to accept the solutions as they hurt their deep-seated beliefs.

    So, what is the problem? The problem is the decreasing number of Hindus — if not throughout the country then in specific pockets throughout the country. This will have long-lasting impact on governance and culture as democracy will ensure Muslim-dominated elected bodies in the future. So what solution did we suggest? The solution is simple — maintain demographic superiority. How to do that?

    1. Increased TFR for Hindus
    2. Ghar Wapsi i.e. reconversion

    Ghar Wapsi is important but it has an added complication because it depends on luring Muslims back into their original religion. Swami Shraddhanand, the original stalwart who conducted massive Ghar Wapsi in the 1920s, had to pay with his life for his actions. Given the current democratic pressures, it has become even more difficult to go down this route. But still there are ways to do it and this path cannot be rejected completely. This brings us to the first solution — increased TFR.

    Suggesting a high TFR for Hindus made us run into many criticisms due to the pacified Hindu mindset. Compared to other similar articles, this article received much less sharing on social media. And we guess there are three important reasons behind it:

    1. 60 years of brainwashing on the population problem in India
    2. Financial difficulty in supporting big families
    3. Individualism ranging from feminism to narcissism

    “Hum Do Hamare Do” (We 2 Our 2 Children) has made a massive impact on Hindus throughout the country, so much so that any suggestion which goes against it seems ridiculous. Given this brainwashing, even though many Hindus will recognize the Islamic problem, they would still choose not to confront it head on and change their opinion on having more children. This means that a lot of men who would otherwise be sympathetic to the cause will ignore the issue because it somehow goes against their fundamental principles — to the extent where some people say they will have two high-quality Dharmic children, as if having a third child is somehow Adharmic!

    The second problem arises due to rising living costs across India. This is a problem only as long as Hindus don’t decide to act. Once they come together, child-related costs can be brought down through various measures — supporting extended families, developing community schools and support institutions. More than a hindrance, this can be classified as a logistical problem and should not deter Hindus. The fact is most well-to-do and rich people have very low fertility and they hide behind this argument only to support inaction. So there is more to it than meets the eye.

    The third source of criticism comes from rising individualism and its other supporting ideologies, especially feminism. While Muslims are largely immune to feminism, it will take a toll on Hindus by asking their women to forget their collective Dharma. Although some authors have devised smart ways to associate Dharma with the Abrahamic offshoot called feminism, it hardly stands on its feet when analysed properly.

    One way in which Hindu feminists support the current low TFR decision of Hindus is by saying that none of our Gods had large numbers of kids, nor are there any explicit guidelines for supporting high fertility among Hindus. But history suggests otherwise — Hindus had hardly been as narcissistic as other pagan civilizations and always had a demographic surplus. This ensured that they did not get trampled down by the horses of Abrahamic faith like other religions and regions. Also, Dharma is not fixed in time and is ever evolving given local conditions. Under democracy — which rewards quantity over quality — it becomes a duty of all sane Hindus to realize and work towards maintaining their demographic superiority to save their cultural heritage.

    In the end, when Hindu feminism won’t get any support from individual or collective Dharma, it is natural to fall back on original western feminism and resort to the “my body my choice” argument. While it is true that women bear a significantly larger cost of bearing children, they also get greater glory from them in the end. All Hindu scriptures have glorified great mothers who devoted their children to upholding Dharma. If those mothers had been individualistic, half of their offspring would never have seen the light of day. This also tends to be the ugliest part in this whole debate because as soon as you support high TFR, feminists raise the bogey of misogyny — as according to them only women bear the cost of having kids. Sadly, this level of narcissism is widespread as western liberal constructs have reduced bearing children to a mechanical task instead of a gift of nature celebrated widely in Hinduism through revering different fertility goddesses. So everyone ends up looking at kids as some sort of burden rather than harbingers of love and happiness.

    While it makes sense for any leftist or feminist to disregard tradition and cultural preservation as they want to destroy Hinduism, anyone who attaches himself to Hindu ethos would not outright reject the collective Dharma to maintain demographic superiority. As it becomes amply clear in this example, the Abrahamic construct of feminism is irreconcilable once a person realises his collective and individual Dharma — which is maintaining demographic superiority in this case.

    Then there is also the question of how one divides his love between himself and future generations. If you put no weight on future generations and whether they carry your traditions and culture, there is nothing stopping you from being individualistic. But as soon as you stop being myopic and develop some attachment to your future generations, it becomes imperative that your actions are aligned with your future goals. The choice thus becomes simple: either have 3–4 kids now who will help maintain Hindu majority, or see your granddaughters walking around in burqa, subjugated by polygamy and stoned for adultery under Sharia. This way the cycle of Abrahamic exclusivism will go full circle — from complete freedom under feminism to no freedom under Islam — with only a small possibility of buying a museum ticket to read about the dead middle path of Hinduism.

  • How Phony RW intellectuals will lead Hindus to slaughter

    We always say that a picture says a thousand words and is much more powerful than any article. The above picture shows a Muslim youth kicking Amar Jawan Jyoti i.e. the essence and life blood of Indian republic. But Indian intellectuals fail to look and comprehend the story behind such pictures and delude themselves and gullible sheepish Hindus through their intellectual sophistication. The latest addition to this list is R. Jagannath, a self-proclaimed intellectual RW in India. The intellectual wankery and self-delusion touched new levels in his latest article on why India produces so few Jihadis as compared to Europe and how Hinduism is responsible for it. Both the premise and the conclusion in this article are wrong on so many levels:

    1. India does not produce few Jihadis. Just count the number of dead Jihadis in Kashmir and rest of India. If you add the number of silent Jihadis who come out in various riots like Malda and Muzzafarnagar, you can build entire populations of some European countries. Going to Syria is a useless criterion for measuring Indian Jihadi numbers when the Muslims in the sub-continent have more than enough reasons to stay here and capture whole India bits by bits.
    2. Yes, there are no outright conflicts right now between Hindus and Muslims in India but it is just a matter of time before the next round starts when the Muslim population reaches a threshold as seen in various riot prone areas. So, it is not the Hindu genes in sub-continental Muslims which are helping in avoiding this conflict but the pusillanimity of Hindus and their intellectual self-delusion and pretences that is delaying the inevitable to some future date. Jaggy added himself to this same list of self-deluded Hindus churning out theories which will lead Hindus to ultimate slaughter.

    Now, lets add another picture to complete the story and further pin-prick this self-delusion bubble of Hindus.

    [Image: Map of Mauryan Empire — extent of Hindu civilisation]
    [Image: Map of Mauryan Empire — extent of Hindu civilisation] — contextual restoration.

    The above picture shows the extent of Hindu civilization, which has now lost half of its area. And guess what — all those areas went to the peace loving Muslims which carry Hindu gene as proclaimed by R. Jagannath, but have eradicated the last traces of their Hindu ancestry. Actually, he can visit any of his neighbourhood Muslim ghettos and explain to the Muslims there about how they carry Hindu genes. Given the current state of Indian security, it is hard to guarantee that he will come back in one piece as most of the current Muslims both in India and erstwhile Hindu regions like Pakistan and Afghanistan will not take it lightly — they think they have more Arabic blood and have nothing to do with Hindus. He for sure must be aware about the flak that Subramaniam Swamy received by claiming Hindu ancestry of Muslims in India, so it will be better if he drops this experiment and takes our word for it.

    But the crux of the matter is: can Hindus learn from the follies that they have done in the past ten centuries? The current media ecosystem is against them but it is not a big problem. The big problem is the self-delusion of the so called RW intellectuals who should be thinking about the best interest of Hindus. Sadly, they have failed miserably on this account. It is not the Hindu gene in Indian Muslims, but the shameful or idiotic gene in Hindus, which has helped to avoid the full scale problem for short duration. India has already gone through one partition thanks to the same Hindu gene carrying Muslims and still faces frequent riots in areas with sufficiently high Muslim populations from Kashmir to Kerala. Riots like Malda keep getting added to the list of riots instigated by Muslims. Tiwari and Narang keep getting murdered in broad daylight by Muslim goons and all one gets from intellectual RW Hindus is total dishonesty, which tries to sugar coat the problem and wish it away. Sadly, the world does not work that way and pretending to live in a utopia does not create a utopia.

    The need of the hour is to have constant debates on Islam instead of whitewashing its crimes which the Hindu RW is more than happy to do right now. Hindus need to avoid them as they are worse than communists. While communists are at least honest about screwing Hindus, these insidious poisonous intellectuals will lead Hindus like sheep to their slaughter. They will pretend all is well till demographics reach the level of WB or Kerala. Then Hindus getting killed will not make any headlines, the way it hardly creates a flutter post RSS worker deaths in various states. This will finally end like the story of Kashmiri Pandits once Muslims reach 50% of the population i.e. a point of no return. Intellectual masturbation is not going to save other Hindus, like how the intellectual pretensions of the Bengali bhadraloks or the mallus have hardly saved their skins from the Mullahs. Selectively looking at one or two individuals who are harmless while ignoring incidents like Malda and Amar Jawan Jyoti and claiming that Indian Muslims are not Islamists like in the west is intellectual masturbation at its best. So next time when Jaggy styled authors claim about peaceful syncretism of Indian Islam, please remind them about the genocide of Hindus in Bangladesh, which did not happen so far in the past.

    Sadly, delusion has been the fatal intellectual flaw of Hindus since the time of first attacks by barbaric Muslim hordes. Time and again they have been let down by their intellectuals, who failed to recognize the true nature of Islam and its adherents, who want complete domination and annihilation of all other beliefs. Buddhists, who bore the maximum brunt of Islamic invasion and got wiped out from large swathes of territory had done better analysis of Islam than the current generation of Hindus. Here is the appraisal of Islam by 11th century Kalachakra Buddhism:

    We may summarize the Kalacakra tantra’s perception of Islamic beliefs and practices as follows: from the Buddhist point of view Islam is demonic and perverse, a perfect anti-religion which is the antithesis of Buddhism (daitya-dharma; asura-dharma; atyantddharma; adharma). Islam’s theology of an omnipotent Creator who consigns men to heaven or hell based on their pleasing or displeasing him is classed with the lowest of Indian ideologies. The Islamic belief that ar-Rahman makes his followers cut off their foreskins in order to enter heaven is viewed as exotic and bizarre. The Kalacakra tantra represents Islam as a religion of violence (himsa-dharma) that advocates savage behavior (raudra-karman).

    — Kalachakra Tantra, 11th century Buddhist text

    It then finally ends with giving prescriptions on how to deal with Islam:

    First, the tantra prohibits its own adherents from participating in the barbarian religion. Second, it holds out the possibility of converting the barbarians to Buddhism. Third, it uses the threat of Islam in anti-brahman polemics. Finally, it prophesies a Buddhist holy war against Islam.

    — Kalachakra Tantra, 11th century Buddhist text

    Does it surprise anyone now that Buddhist Myanmar, China and Sri Lanka have dealt with the Islamic menace with an iron fist while Hindus are still debating on the nature of Islam? This snake oil sold by self-proclaimed RW will not work for too long and common Hindus will have to ultimately face the reality. While these intellectuals will hide in their gated communities and peddle even more Islamic syncretism, it will be the common Hindus who will have to bear the brunt of Islamic rape, loot and pillage. The choice is only theirs: either learn from their past mistakes or let their great grand daughters be raped and killed like during partition or 1971 Bangladesh or Kashmir. Sadly, chanting about the Hindu roots of Indian Muslims would not take them too far as it neither saved their Hindu ancestors nor will save their future generations.

  • AOL-NGT feud: Economic libertarians will sell-out culture

    AOL-NGT feud: Economic libertarians will sell-out culture contextual illustration
    Contextual editorial illustration for the restored article.

    The recent controversy on Art of Living event called World Culture Festival can be added to the bucket list of attempts to shower controversy on each and every Hindu event. It is a plain and simple case of media and leftist hitjob to challenge this event on environmental grounds when NGT stays quiet on grave environmental issues. The Yamuna bed was not only used to construct a big DTC bus depot during the last Commonwealth games but also hosts the Yamuna Bank metro station — not to forget the large number of illegal squatters on its floodplain. Given such huge transgressions, it is difficult to comprehend how a temporary event could have caused irreparable damage.

    A large section of Yamuna floodbank is captured by land sharks right under the nose of NGT, which finally woke up from slumber but it was too late and the damage was done. WCF like event is not planned in a day and must have requested permission much before the inauguration, so it is highly unlikely that environmental considerations were not scrutinised beforehand. Since the issue came into highlight right before its inauguration, it gives a clear indication of ill-will on the part of NGT.

    Also, given everything else being equal, finally NGT imposed a Rs. 5 crore environmental penalty. The question is — shouldn’t NGT have imposed this tax much before the event rather than use it as a stick to beat down Sri Sri? After all, neither AOL was building a permanent structure on the flood banks nor planning to stay there forever — unlike in the case of the DTC bus depot post Commonwealth games. The hypocrisy becomes even more intolerable after realising that for all practical purposes, Yamuna just represents a fancy drain now since Delhi hardly thinks twice before dumping its sewage into it. The real course of action should have been to levy an environmental tax on Art of Living depending on the cost to clean up the river post event.

    Having understood the ulterior motives behind this hitjob, it now brings us to understand the support of this event by the supposedly self-proclaimed RW in India. Most of them are actually economic libertarians without much regard for cultural Hindu nationalism. It is in controversies like WCF that the true affiliations of the economic RW come out. This became amply clear by reading a piece by R. Jagannathan in SwarajyaMag — the magazine which carries “Read India Right” on its logo.

    The crux of the argument presented by R. Jagannathan is as follows:

    The annual Haj, where millions of devout Muslims travel from all over the world to congregate in Mecca, is probably the single biggest cause of religion-induced damage in the world in an ecologically sensitive desert zone. Our Kumbh Melas, Ardh Kumbhs and various spiritual congregations in many temples and fairs too do enormous damage. For example, the Hindu ritual of cremating our dead on the banks of the Ganga and immersion of our ashes in various rivers and seas is another factor in this ecological crisis.

    Does this look any different from the leftists who raise the Dalit bogey while talking about any issue under the sky? Here Jagannathan also uses a similar template to mildly bash Hindu rituals by giving a small slap on the wrist of Hajj pilgrims in his first paragraph. This is not much different than PK putting up one or two offending scenes on Muslims and Christians while bashing Hindu rituals in the rest of the movie. By mentioning Muslims and Hajj, this piece too ticks the box to claim neutrality. It becomes amply clear later when the article says:

    It is time to show that same creativity now by converting our cremation and other ceremonies to symbolic events with limited human damage to our rivers and the air.

    It is highly non-scientific to blame cremation ashes as an environmental concern when most of the rivers are polluted by tanneries and other industries which dump massive chemicals into them, making them not only carcinogenic but also depleting precious oxygen content to kill all kinds of flora and fauna. All rivers in India are equally or more polluted than the Ganga, even those that do not have the same spiritual significance and hence no cremation dumping. It would have been sensible for him to ask for better checks and balances such as not dumping half-burned bodies into the river. But he took a typical liberal stand and demanded to change the whole rituals to suit the agenda of the new environmental fundamentalists. There is no reason to not believe that given human intelligence and efforts, the rituals cannot be done in an ecologically sensitive way. Sadly, the fact that rituals nurture a society is beyond the grasp of our self-proclaimed libertarians. The death of Hindu rituals will only mean the death of the civilization. This is very well known by the leftists and hence they carry out such hitjobs to kill the rituals to soften Hindus and de-racinate them — making them easy targets for western propaganda and evangelists. If you analyse carefully, it is the same underlying agenda which runs from the Jallikattu ban to the current controversy. Environmental fundamentalism is a new addition to the list of tricks being employed to kill rituals, and the economic RW is more than a willing accomplice in helping this agenda.

    So what should be the message of Hindu RW to R. Jagannathan and his friends? Thank you guys, we understand the damage done to India by the socialist economic policies of Congress and we like your economic prescriptions. But if there is a clash between economic libertarianism and culture, Hindus will stick to their cultural roots. Economic progress by cutting down the Dharmic roots will be too big a cost for modernity.

    The below picture from Adarsh Liberal perfectly sums up the leftist agenda to de-racinate Hindus — the question is should we now add R. Jagannathan to this list?

  • Why Hindus need to infiltrate mass media

    Editorial illustration for Why Hindus need to infiltrate mass media
    Editorial illustration for “Why Hindus need to infiltrate mass media”.

    One can charge Rajiv Gandhi with the usual stupidity and naivety that is now being associated with the Gandhi-Nehru family, but there is at least one action which should be credited to the then young Prime Minister of India. What did he do that now sets him apart from other Gandhi family members? It was not bringing computers to India as they would have arrived sooner or later. But it was the fact that he allowed screening of Ramayana on Doordarshan in 1987 to help propagate cultural values among Indians. Whether Rajiv Gandhi himself pioneered this Hindu revival is questionable given that his government first appeased Muslims in the Shah Bano case and only later turned to Hindu appeasement.

    But Rajiv Gandhi is not important for this article. What is rather important is to understand the role of mass media in defining cultural values. No amount of public education or newspapers had achieved what Ramayana and Mahabharata achieved through one hour telecast every week for a few years. It rekindled a new life in the Hindu soul that was devastated from the slavery of past centuries. Not only did BJP — a non-Muslim-appeasing party — ride to power on this new Hindu renaissance, but it also led to bringing down of Babri Masjid and changing the passive Hindu bania image for some time. It was very well reflected in the opposition by the leftists who were taken aback by the popularity of these serials. The reaction of the then Director General of Doordarshan, Bhaskar Ghose — a leftist — makes it amply clear:

    There was far too much ritual and not nearly enough story. He (Sagar) had used the worst extras he could get, because he was doing it on the cheap.

    — Bhaskar Ghose, then Director General of Doordarshan

    The leftists are masters at propaganda and know very well the importance of rituals in upholding cultural unity. Bhaskar Ghose — the father of Sagarika Ghose — tried every possible way to kill Ramayana halfway, but sadly for him the mass hysteria around Ramayana had grown out of control by then and was untameable by any official writ. The position of these epics in the Hindu psyche was further cemented by Mahabharat, which aired after Ramayana in 1988.

    But why are these events from three decades ago relevant today? They are relevant because even though we have seen the rise of social media, most thoughts are still seeded by the culture as depicted in mass media. The left understands this well and has its foot-soldiers placed in all the high echelons of power. The outrage against appointing Gajendra Chauhan as chairman of FTII (Film and Television Institute) should be seen under this light. Although his appointment like any other appointment can be debated, the high-decibel campaign that was unleashed on him can only be explained by the heartburn of career leftists.

    While Hindus are becoming increasingly assertive of their identity and the rise of Rajiv Malhotra and other scholars has given them the required intellectual firepower to support the Hindu cause, mass-media infiltration is going on at a snail’s pace. Intellectual discourse is very important but one can only disregard the influence of mass media at his own peril. Hindus had assertive scholars like Sitaram Goel and Arun Shourie even during the dark ages of early Congress rule, but Ramayana and Mahabharata played a much bigger role in awakening Hindus and building a consolidated Hindu voting bloc for the first time in India. Intellectual discussion will fail to realise its objectives unless it achieves active domination over mass media.

    The domination of popular culture is not only important from the point of achieving current political objectives but also to create a sense of cultural unity and prepare future leaders. Popular culture created by mass media is the stepping stone towards developing an ecosystem which will then generate the next generation of pro-Hindu intellectuals. The role of Amar Chitra Katha and Panchatantra stories has been paramount in helping many grown-up Hindus to rediscover their roots after being brainwashed by leftist school books for years. The closest current example of such an effort to capture young minds is the animated series Chota Bheem, whose character is partially lifted from Bheem of the Mahabharata. India has an abundant treasure trove of literature to dig into, but the only problem is that this potential for generating popular mass media has not yet been exploited. Also, unlike Abrahamic religions, Hinduism does not sell victimhood and has many positive stories to tell — many superheroes who would give Batman and Superman a run for their money.

    After having understood the benefits of infiltrating mass media, the only analysis that remains is to look at the current state of Hindu representation in mass media. While on the intellectual front one can boast about Rajiv Malhotra as one of the guiding forces, there are hardly any popular figures to recount on the mass media front. There are many right-leaning media personnel but most of them restrict themselves to economic libertarianism without much sympathy for Hindu identity. Zee News has finally started to push an alternate narrative on the news front but it is almost impossible to find pro-Hindu voices in the movie industry.

    Anupam Kher is making a lot of noise lately but he plays by the rules of the left and does not command the same fan following as the Khans. Given the complete dominance of the Khans in Bollywood for the last two decades, does it come as a surprise that Hindus are forced to gulp down the insults to Hindu icons as in PK? The chanting of pro-Azadi slogans in JNU is the manifestation of this loose control that Hindus have had over the Muslim-left dominated popular culture, as amply demonstrated through movies like Haider. Bollywood is often called the national movie industry — but doesn’t it shock you that it hardly brings out any movies that can build national image or cement cultural identity? The stories about our martyrs are on an ignore list while the industry keeps pumping out inane trash glorifying mafias. Also, it is impossible to ignore the demographic damage done by the Khans as they have more or less succeeded in portraying the harmless nice Muslim guy image in popular culture, making girls swoon over Muslim men and become susceptible to love jihad.

    So what is the way forward? Well, burning down theatres showing Haider or boycotting Dangal are only short-term measures. The real way forward is shown by S.S. Rajamouli through his epic Baahubali. There is no other recent movie which has portrayed Hinduism in such glory. Given how well it did on the Hindi box office despite being a Telugu movie clearly shows that people are fed up of watching old midgets sold as heroes by Bollywood. If Hindus need to mainstream their culture and make it cool, they need to get their hands dirty and churn out people of all artistic hues. They need more Rajamoulis as well as more Amish Tripathis. This movement which has been building up unconsciously for too long should be pursued at a much faster pace and given some covert state patronage. There is no reason to stop and get contented just by erasing the left agenda from school books. PM Modi — are you listening?

  • The Anarchist Kejriwal: Swaraj review

    Editorial illustration for The Anarchist Kejriwal: Swaraj review
    Editorial illustration for “The Anarchist Kejriwal: Swaraj review”.

    Kejriwal, the demagogue, has left enough traces of his thought process in his short political career. He has evolved into a complete charlatan now when compared to his old days as side-kick of Anna Hazare. So it becomes super important to understand his thought process before he became the current megalomaniac — as reflected by his actions to publish full-page ads of his non-achievements in the glorious municipality of Delhi in local newspapers from around the country.

    Kejriwal offered a glimpse of his thought process in the book called “Swarajya” that he published during his activist days. It is difficult to miss the naivety of the solutions offered by this technocrat. But it should not be a surprise, given his mediocre performance as a student at IIT. Although it is contested that he plagiarised the book from another author, since he did not mind publishing it in his name, we would take it as a reflection of his thought process on various issues.

    1) He raises some important questions and narrows his focus on two:

    • Decentralization
    • Citizen control over everything

    2) While the questions seem fine, the prescriptions are repetitive and a rehash of leftist ideology mixed with Gandhian utopia. So where does the book fail?

    • Belief in the greatness of the super awesome village panchayats
    • Distrusting each and every corporate action as if they are the only culprits — anti-capitalism in all forms
    • Back to Gandhi’s idea of self-sufficient villages. In the beginning of the book, he highlights that villages should decide where they want to spend money rather than the centre and state government earmarking expenditure for various schemes like MNREGA, food security etc. Later he argues for giving even tax collection authority to the villages as well as decision on how to spend their funds.

    This last point on self-sufficient communities is the crux of his book. But it raises fundamental questions:

    • Are villages really an idealistic pinnacle that we should strive for? How would such a system take care of the “tragedy of the commons” problem?
    • Would such a decentralized system build a modern India capable of taking on its numerous adversaries?
    • Do we need a society with well-defined impersonal rules where things take care of themselves, or a system where villages and RWAs need to meet every week and vote on every trivial or big issue?
    • Should we replace our one Constitution with thousands of constitutions specific to each community?
    • India definitely needs rapid industrialization to bring people out of poverty. How would one achieve this with such a super-slow decision-making process in such a fragmented polity?

    It is this last belief in anarchy that Kejriwal still carries around despite his numerous U-turns. Does it surprise you that he gave political space to Prashant Bhushan despite knowing his pro-militant stance on Kashmir? His support for Kanhaiya and Omar Khalid also highlights the same line of approach that he mentioned some years ago in his book.

    Now coming to the final point. Does it make a good read? Definitely not — and specifically if you are planning to spend your money on it. It is just a rehash of old bankrupt ideologies. He was not even creative with the name and copied it from Mahatma Gandhi’s Hind Swaraj! But it is still important to know that Kejriwal had a bucket full of failed ideas about developing India even before he embarked on his political career. Now, coupled with his political ambitions, these ideas have become suicidal and get amply reflected in his support for extremists and secessionists in all states.

    Verdict: Not worth your money. Read it for free if you must, to understand the anarchist mind behind the muffler and slipper.
  • Ishrat: Did Congress sell national interests

    Ishrat: Did Congress sell national interests

    Forget about all the scams you heard during UPA’s regime. Coal, 2G and Commonwealth scams were undoubtedly bad for the exchequer but can you bucket them under national treason? No. Ishrat’s case would go down in the history of India as an outright case of treason committed by the Congress Party to bring down one political opponent called Narendra Damodardas Modi.

    All norms were broken and all hell was let loose just to witch-hunt one single person. The entire political spectrum used MSM to go after Modi and ended up compromising national security. This was achieved by pitting one security agency against the other and destroying many lives and careers in the process. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Congress did not shy away from cutting a deal with ISI to bring down its political opponent. Encounters are not uncommon in India — why was this one case of Ishrat Jahan given so much importance? Who will pay for this treason? And the most important question — will Modi drop the façade of Mahatma Gandhi to finally charge the Congress for sedition and bring the case to its logical conclusion?

    It is not about political witch-hunt but about setting the standards for the future and what India as a nation can tolerate. While Gujaral only dismantled the Indian deep assets in Pakistan, the Congress party under Sonia Gandhi took it to a completely new level by offering an open playground to ISI and compromising national security. The role of other parties in this case is not so clean either. We all need to question what forced Nitish Kumar to portray Ishrat as Bihar’s daughter or Brinda Karat to inaugurate an ambulance service in the name of a known terrorist.

    All attempts were made to silence the critics who tried to showcase the true story behind Ishrat. While journalists like Rana Ayyub were given free access to the power corridors of New Delhi, some journalists had to shell out money from their own pockets to uncover this truth.

    It would be a great dishonour to the martyrdom of brave Indian soldiers if such sabotage of national interests is allowed for petty political gains. The nation needs to stand together and ask questions from Congress and other political parties as well as demand a judicial inquiry so that these anti-nationals are brought to book and punished for their treason. No action will only push India one more step towards being a banana republic, where foreign powers are free to meddle into local politics and extract geo-political benefits.

    India is a weak nation when compared to other similar nations which can boast a two trillion dollar plus economy. The weakness of India comes from the many internal fault lines that are nourished by the stupidity of Hindus, which is then camouflaged and deflected by blaming crooked politicians. This leaves India just slightly better than banana republics, which live and die every day of the year.

    The RW outrage on the whole JNU debate revolves around the fundamental issue of Azadi (Freedom) for Kashmir. Imagine what would have happened if China were in charge of this particular problem. People might have got a chance to chant Azadi statements, but under few conditions. One, Kashmir would have been integral part of China and two, they would have raised these slogans outside China because China is not known to treat its dissenters well. Is Tibet still a disputed area? Yes — only if you listen to Dalai Lama’s speech, because for all other practical matters the Hans have settled the issue. Similarly they have settled the fate of Uighurs in Xinjiang.

    On the other hand, Kashmir is still a boiling issue in India. Look at the below video to further boil your blood. It was shot during the recent militant face-off in Pampore:

    This is #Pampore for you! Mosques playing Jihad Songs! “At crosshair of Blazing Guns / We Know We are On Target”

    — SALAAR (@SalaarOfficial), February 22, 2016

    The video seems pretty authentic and can be corroborated by other videos circulating on social media. For Kashmir watchers, it is not a new event. Looking at it one thing becomes clear — there is practically not much difference between Kashmir and Afghanistan, except that the Indian Army manages to keep these savages under control.

    Before we digress, what would have been the Chinese solution to the Kashmir problem? China would have solved it the way they have solved the Tibet problem — by settling Hans in Tibet. There is no better way to decimate your enemy than to do a demographic war. China is not even a democracy but it understands this much better than India. Even Pakistan, which holds on to PoK, has shown much more muscle than India and has settled many non-PoK Pakistanis in the Shia-majority areas in Gilgit-Baltistan:

    Since the 1970s, the Pakistani government has encouraged the settlement of Pakistanis in Gilgit-Baltistan in an effort to shift the demographic and ethnic balance in the region. Under the GBESGO, many of these settlers were given formal citizenship rights in Gilgit-Baltistan.

    It is true that India inherited this mess from the stupid and naive policies of Nehru who wanted to bolster his international stature by taking the Kashmir issue to the UN. But the question is — why are we still debating it 70 years post-independence when we know UN resolutions mean nothing for real powers? Russia just enforced its mandate in Crimea while ignoring the economic and military muscle of entire NATO countries. India is no Russia, but Kashmir is not in Europe’s backyard either and is already under Indian control.

    The strategy to settle the Kashmir dispute:

    1. All the technocrats and experts will try to explain to naive Indians (i.e. Hindus) that Kashmir is a very delicate issue and should be handled with kid-gloves. India is following this model for the past 70 years and it has solved nothing. It has only emboldened the Islamists and led to the mass hunting of Kashmiri Pandits.
    2. Just follow the China model — settle Hindus in J&K. Article 370 should not be quoted as an excuse or impediment. Indians have given ration cards to illegal Bangladeshis, so it can be done for its own citizens settling in Kashmir. Article 370 can even be used by the Indian government as a cosmetic measure to claim that India is committed to preserving Kashmiriat, while dissolving it by stealth.
    3. Another policy to pursue is trifurcation of the state of J&K. Once trifurcated, Ladakh and Jammu can be completely integrated while Kashmir valley can be forced to pay for its tantrums.
    4. Achieve complete military indigenization. In the above mentioned scheme of things, the most crucial aspect is that India cannot fight an entrenched war for too long if all world powers get together to undermine India’s efforts. An indigenous military industrial complex is essential to avoid any external influence in dealing with internal issues. This is achievable with a 10–15 year time frame.

    Kanhaiyyas and Omar Khalids are only the symptoms of a deep underlying cancer — Kashmir — that the Indian state has ignored for far too long. No matter how much India tries, it is almost impossible to settle this issue peacefully. Sooner or later, India will have to confront the ugly Jihadi ideology of Kashmir, otherwise Afzal Gurus and Kanhaiyyas will keep popping up. Good thing is India does not have to look too far for inspiration — it can learn the lessons very well from its neighbour right across the Himalayas.

  • White Accountability

    As more people cast around various scapegoats in an attempt to explain how the West has fallen from the world’s premiere society to a laughable backwater, it is time to take responsibility and point the finger at the actual cause of our misery.

    It is not The Jews, The Rich, or The Government (although that did not help). It is not corporate personhood or the fact that our democracy is not direct. Nor is it even the GOP, although they did not help either. We need to peel back all the layers and look to the core.

    Our candidates are liars because democracy rewards lies. They offer a product which might be described as the illusion of peace of mind. This consists of a promise of a solution to some basic problem, a scapegoat to blame for the wider systemic failures, and a reason to consider yourself smarter or nicer than people who oppose this idea.

    Leftists are the masters at this. They look at a ruined society and say that clearly the problem is that some have more than others. To support this they show you people suffering, counting on you to worry about what would happen to you in that situation. Then they trot out the studies that consider one factor out of ten thousand and use that to rationalize blame on a scapegoat. Then they say that only mean people could oppose this.

    The GOP Establishment (GOPE) has another policy. It lets you know that liberals are insane and PC is bad, and then brings out the old familiars from the Reagan era: defense, Israel, the Bible and maybe even some outrage at abortion. They then say that only morally bad people would not want these things.

    In either case, the audience is being manipulated like bulls at a bullfight, with one crucial exception: the audience wants it. They want to purchase peace of mind, and that requires simplistic solutions and blame, and then a reason to feel good even if they lose by calling the other team a bunch of weenies, moochers, meanies or incompetents. That raises the hands and gets the candidate into office.

    Once in office, the candidate guffaws. In this system of checks and balances, made exponentially more powerful by two centuries of attempts to fix it, nothing can be done. The direction will not change; the question is only what flavor of compromise. So he goes back to the voters and blames the scapegoat again, but promises to try even harder next time, and the cycle restarts.

    White accountability begins when we recognize that our problem has always been an internal war. Most people are bad; like our Simian forebears, they cannot control their urges, and one of those urges is the desire to tear down those above them. They form mass mobs and demand power, at which point the limitations of their abilities are revealed. But the first error was the crucial one, which is demanding that people who cannot make leadership decisions be called on to vote on those decisions.

    Out of a hundred people, one is a natural leader with the mental capacity and moral character to see a complex thought through to its conclusion. The rest can fix cars, program computers, draw anime, etc., but that is because these tasks are narrowly framed. They do not have what leadership decisions require, which is a high tolerance for ambiguity when fitting thousands of details into a big, top-down picture.

    White internal warfare has marked this country since its inception. The 1% who knew anything wanted to keep the franchise small, but the herd wanted power to make itself feel important. Its first gambit was to import lots of non-Western Europeans, all of whom tend to vote Left-leaning. At that point, it began systematically dismantling any sense of sanity in education, media, literature, art, music, government and society.

    That process leads us to the present day. You will find lots of people offering you the pair of easy answer and blame, but all of these are lies. What went wrong was that we gave in to our inner evil and the Simian self-important beast that lurks beneath the surface in each of us. We dressed it up, in the way only clever white people can do, as enlightenment and empathy, but really, it was venality and license bubbling to the surface.

    The situation has not changed. One in a hundred is capable of making these choices, but we have all one hundred choose, drowning out the leadership capable. We either put these natural leaders back on top and have them suppress the rest of the population, or we will be oppressed by the rest as they continue to choose sociopathic and simplistic illusion over reality.

    Editor’s Note
    The reason to republish this article is that it is closely related to the RW outrage in India. The JNU saga has hardly ended and we already have two new events catching the limelight — false history books in schools and the Durga-Mahishashur debate. The leftists have stolen a march over the RW all over the world while all that RW can do is engage in outrage, including their established parties. Does BJP in India closely resemble the GOP in the US? That would make a good topic for debate.
  • Reservations: The Brahamastra for Ghar Wapsi

    Editorial illustration for “Reservations: The Brahamastra for Ghar Wapsi”.

    The Upper Caste rants against reservations just hit the crescendo with the recent Jat riots in Haryana, which caused massive destruction of public property. These rants are well justified and grounded in the libertarian thoughts which many of the Right Wingers have directly copied from the west. Sadly like all other borrowed ideology, the imitation is perfect and the libertarian cheerleaders have forgotten to tweak and adapt them according to local conditions. There is a huge momentum built around reservations based on economic inequality and doing away with caste-based reservations. Given how it is adopted blindly by many of the right wing Hindu intellectuals, it is utmost important to describe the one constitutional provision which has helped in consolidating Hindus more than anything else. While most constitutional provisions like temple control, RTE etc. are stacked against Hindus, only reservations is one tool which is favourable against the onslaught of Abrahamic religions. By the end of this article, we should be able to convince you why all Hindus should bury the hatchet against caste-based reservations for the next few decades and use it as an active policy tool to counter missionary activity through Ghar Wapsi.

    Let’s go back to February 2015 to understand the importance of caste-based reservations, which Hindu organizations have ignored till now. The bench of Justices Dipak Misra and V. Gopala Gowda held that a person shall not be deprived of reservation benefits if he decides to “reconvert” to Hinduism and adopts the caste of his forefathers. The case was brought to court by an individual whose grandparents had converted to Christianity while he reconverted back to Hinduism and availed reservation benefits. This is what the Supreme Court had to say:

    If a person born to Christian parents, who had converted to Christianity from the Scheduled Caste Hindu, can avail the benefits of the caste certificate after embracing Hinduism, there cannot be any soundness of logic that he cannot avail similar benefits because his grandparents were converted and he was born to parents who were Christians.

    This decision has now removed the inter-generational gap between conversion and reconversion within the fold of Hinduism to avail reservation benefits, thus opening the way for Hindus to win the demographic battle stacked against them. With this single decision, the Supreme Court has given the Brahmastra to fight both the menace of aggressive Evangelization efforts in India as well as high Muslim fertility. Extending the right of reservation to those who converted generations ago will give the massive carrot which can be dangled in front of Muslims as well as Christians to get them back into the Hindu fold.

    As expected, this decision caused massive heartburn among the sickulars of the country. Sad thing is most of the people on the Hindu Right have overlooked the benefits of this one policy in countering the Abrahamic religions. The cry for substituting the current reservation policy from caste to economic status is getting louder each day. Also, there has been an active policy push by Christian organizations to extend quota benefits to Dalit Christians and Muslims. While Hindus have more or less ignored this issue, this constitutional disparity has been an important topic for atrocity literature published in the west:

    The loss of constitutional privileges upon conversion, however, serves as a serious impediment to their freedom to choose their religion. Additionally, most Dalits are ultimately unable to escape their treatment as “untouchables” regardless of the religion they profess. The introduction of anti-conversion legislation in several states has further made religious conversion extremely difficult if not impossible. Finally, Dalits may become targets of forced “reconversions” to Hinduism by sangh parivar groups.

    Since the Church feeds on poverty and deprivation, the reservation policy has been one policy tool which has blunted their advances in many parts of the country. Just to connect the dots, one can look at the history of activism by Arvind Kejriwal, who started his career by protesting against reservations under the banner of Youth for Equality. The massive funding he gets from foreign organizations is enough to explain the reasons behind his earlier stand and whether he was executing the agenda on behalf of foreign masters.

    While people protesting against reservations cannot be faulted completely, they are actually helping the agenda of the missionaries. The recent Jat and Patel agitations had the undercurrent of either extending reservations to their communities or completely removing them. Seen under the light of missionary propaganda, it is not a mystery why these protests are mainstreaming the idea of removal of caste-based reservation.

    What is the way forward?

    1. For the benefit of India and to maintain Hindu demographic superiority, it is essential that Hindus do not fall for the current attempts to remove the caste-based reservations in favour of reservations based on income. Keeping the Hindu dominance under reservation is only possible under caste-based reservation as changing it to income will completely change the rules of the game.
    2. No matter how much the Muslims or Christians cry over discrimination, they cannot avail caste-based reservations on a massive scale due to theological equality provided under Islam and Christianity. Since the Constitution already acknowledges it, it has made the task simple for Hindus.
    3. Hindu organizations should use it as an active policy tool to get jobs for reconverted Hindus and blunt the monetary advantage of Abrahamics.
    4. The quota level can be increased from the current ad-hoc 50% level set by the SC to higher levels so that there is healthy competition within the quota and an increased pool of better candidates. What most people forget is that increasing the quota is also another way to dilute quota benefits. Tamil Nadu model can be extended to the rest of India to actively squeeze the benefits available to people from other religions, while improving the quality of quota-based candidates.
    5. This policy should be maintained till India achieves middle-income country status, when it would completely blunt the conversion business of evangelists. No surprise, the Church has made so many attempts to keep Indians poor and marginalised. If used well for the next 2–3 decades, this single policy can completely recover the losses made by Dharmic religions in India.
    6. Rather than asking for implementing no-conversion as a state policy, Hindus need to actively use reservations as the carrot to dangle in front of Muslims or Christians and increase their numbers before it is too late. No-conversion will effectively block any reconversion back to Hinduism. Given the massive state benefit through reservations for reconversion, Hindus should not advocate for a no-conversion policy.
  • Church appoints a convicted paedophile as bishop in South India/TN

    Covering up scandals is the most important job of the Church, right behind the job of spreading the message of Christ. Given the lack of spiritual training and forced celibacy practised by the Church, it is no surprise that a lot of pastors turn to abusing kids and women. The sad thing is the media usually works alongside the Church and usually buries these stories deep down.

    The recent cover-up is in the case of pastor Joseph Palanivel Jeyapaul from the Catholic Church of South India. According to a report by The News Minute:

    After serving a shorter prison term, Jeyapaul returned to India a few months ago. And in a move that has shocked child rights activists in the state, the Roman Catholic Church of Southern India has now lifted the suspension against him. He was sentenced to a shorter term in jail based on a plea bargain, with the condition that he does not get back to ministerial duties or get in contact with children.

    There is no media outrage in India nor any reports on how the South Indian Church decided to reinstate a convicted paedophile as a bishop. This will only put the life of Indian children at risk as well as their dignity. This incident just showcases the power that the Church wields in India as no one else would have gotten away with the act of reinstating a paedophile. This only shows how big the rot is and the influence of these missionaries in India. Hindus need to be wary of such subversive ideologies.
