The Times of India
reports today (13 Jan) that Mr Amit Shah is going to issue a show cause notice
to Sakshi Maharaj for continuing to make noises that are inconvenient for the
BJP though they are in tune with the theme of the party’s hidden agenda. People like Sakshi Maharaj and Sadhvi Jyoti
are the religious faces of the party, while Mr Modi and Mr Shah are the
political faces. For the former certain
medieval beliefs and practices are the truths, while for the latter those beliefs
and practices are mere ploys for attaining and retaining political power. It is possible that those beliefs and practices
have some value for Mr Modi and Mr Shah too since they seem to be harbouring a
hidden agenda: creating a Hindu Rashtra in India. But transforming a nation from one
constitutional system to another is not very easy, they know. Bringing about the transformation by force
will engender violence and bloodshed.
Neither Mr Modi nor Mr Shah want a civil war in the country. That is one reason for hope.
But
I see a little more room for hope. If Mr
Shah and his party are really going to focus on the development theme and
sideline the religious theme, it will affect the thinking of the public in a
significant manner. The public are
gullible and credulous. They will
actually begin to think that the religious themes are being buried and they
will actually begin to focus on development and related tasks. It will be a significant change of
mindset. It can be good enough for
redeeming the country from regressing into the kind of medievalism that guides
the thoughts and actions of the Maharaj and the Sadhvi and the like.
The
harsh reality may be that the opulent corporate sector that has hijacked the
present union government for their own benefits is demanding a short leash on
the tongues of the medievalist elements in the Parliament. Today’s capitalism is quite different from
its aristocratic counterpart of the medieval period. And the capitalists who uphold the vibrancy
in Mr Modi’s very own Gujarat and hope to spread that vibrancy to other states
whose resources are waiting for the pulsating touches of neoliberal economics
don’t want to miss their opportunities.
Neoliberal
capitalism is preferable to obscurantist medievalism.
PS. I had vowed a few years ago to write in as simple a style as possible
so that my writing is accessible to the very ordinary reader. I’m afraid I have to renege on that vow as my
writing is attracting certain elements that I would prefer to keep at a
distance.
We let fanatics rule this country. Can't understand why all youngsters are crazy about them?
ReplyDeleteA simple answer: People love heroes . There were no heroes in Indian politics after Ms Gandhi until Mr Modi came along.
DeleteSakshi Maharaj and his rants! Pathetic!...but I'm an optimist and still hoping against hopes...
ReplyDeleteMaharaj and quite a few others in the current Parliament are a disgrace to the nation. But isn't it the nation that elected them?
DeleteSakshi Maharaja must be taken with a pinch of salt and a lot of humour. Still, the state of the nation is worrying particularly the emphasis on religion.
ReplyDeleteIf everybody cultivates a healthy sense of humour, there would be no religious terrorism :)
DeleteI worry about the fate of country if population starts growing like this. I guess govt should rather say- Bachche do hi achche...

There's bound to be problems when people who by profession belong to the hermitage find their seats in the Parliament!
