Who’s Modi scared of?

 

Modi admiring himself at Madame Tussauds

Narendra Modi is a coward and a weakling. Otherwise he would not get people arrested for as flimsy reasons as putting up posters that read: “Modi ji hamare bachon ki vaccine videsh kyon bhej diya (Why did you send our children’s vaccines abroad?)” A lot of people have been arrested in India from 2014 for criticising Modi. Many have had their offices raided by various central government agencies or harassed in surreptitious ways. A few have even disappeared. Who is Mr Modi scared of?

India’s first Prime Minister was a man who warned the nation against his own potential for dictatorship. In 1937, an article published in Modern Review described the then president of the Congress (Jawaharlal Nehru) as having “all the makings of a dictator in him – vast organisational capacity, ability, hardness, and, with all his love of the crowd, an intolerance of others and a certain contempt for the weak and the inefficient.” The article was written by Chanakya which turned out to be Nehru’s own pseudonym. Nehru was his own critic. He encouraged others to criticise him too so that he would have proper self-knowledge and not a bloated ego.

Bloated ego is Modi’s problem. And he cannot afford to deflate it. Only those who have some substance within can afford to lose their inflated image. When your heroic claims about your boyhood are false, when your academic degree is false, when your credentials are all fake, you can’t afford to live without a scintillating façade built with propaganda of all sorts. Anyone who questions any of that propaganda is a serious threat and will be eliminated one way or another.

Modi’s real enemies are not his critics but himself. The same is true of his sidekick, Amit Shah, another infinitely bloated ego who will use an excavator where a garden rake would do. Both Modi and Shah are counterfeit personalities that are scared of their own realities, their own inner demons. But they conceal their cowardice with 56-inch breastplates forged with exquisite propaganda.

Such people won’t learn from their mistakes. Why seven years, even seventy, won’t teach them any lesson. They are just incapable of learning from the past, incapable of understanding the reality around them, and incapable of drawing right conclusions about the future. They have hypnotised themselves. No one can argue with them just because they regard themselves to be godly or greater. Their end will come just once, the last doom that spares none, and when it does come it will be catastrophic.

But why should a nation of 1.3 billion people endure all sorts of agonies because of the ego of one person and the ego of that one person’s sidekick? This is called destiny. You can call it your karma if you wish. After all you elected them, didn’t you?

  1. Yes, we elected them and that's why we deserve them only. It's our Karma for sure. As we sow so shall we reap.

    1. More of us should articulate our dissent, I think.

  3. When the ruler is blind , undoubtedly the subjects suffer . But here the elected representatives act as if they rule for eternity to come! And India , today is witnessing it's darkest phase in democracy, thanks to us for bringing upon it ourselves.

  4. Our national breakdown is now exposing Modi’s incompetence and recklessness.

    1. But the man won't own up. Even if he would (an impossibility, but let's just assume), his devotees won't let him. They will keep repeating that it is the mistake of the nation, not Modi's. Modi cannot err.

    2. Because to err is human whereas Modi is divine (or super-human or whatever) in the eyes of himself as well as his devotees.

  5. why you are not blaming China for the virus? Leftists have hidden agenda.

    1. Yeah, China created a virus before the 2014 Indian elections so that India would elect a demogogue whose antics would entertain the world.

Country where humour died

Humour died a thousand deaths in India after May 2014. The reason – let me put it as someone put it on X.  The stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra called a politician some names like ‘traitor’ which made his audience laugh because they misunderstood it as a joke. Kunal Kamra has to explain the joke now in a court of justice. I hope his judge won’t be caught with crores of rupees of black money in his store room . India itself is the biggest joke now. Our courts of justice are huge jokes. Our universities are. Our temples, our textbooks, even our markets. Let alone our Parliament. I’m studying the Ramayana these days in detail because I’ve joined an A-to-Z blog challenge and my theme is Ramayana, as I wrote already in an earlier post . In order to understand the culture behind Ramayana, I even took the trouble to brush up my little knowledge of Sanskrit by attending a brief course. For proof, here’s part of a lesson in my handwriting.  The last day taught me some subhashit...

Sunita Williams and Narendra Modi

An Indian artist celebrating Sunita Williams' return Prime Minister Modi has extended a cordial invitation to Sunita Williams. In a Letter dated 1 Mar 2025, Modi expressed India’s pride in her achievements and extended the invitation. “After your return, we are looking forward to seeing you in India. It will be a pleasure for India to host one of its most illustrious daughters.” Will Ms Williams accept the invitation? I have serious reservations. She won’t, in all probability. Her cousin was allegedly murdered by Modi’s men during the investigation of the 2002 Gujarat riots. The young generation in India are probably not aware of the 2002 riots in Gujarat orchestrated by Modi and his party for political mileage. In the last few years, whenever I raised the question in my classes, hardly one or two students out of the 200-odd ones were faintly aware of the riots. Inhuman violence was unleashed in Gujarat against the Muslim community after some Hindu pilgrims were attacked on...

56-Inch Self-Image

The cover story of the latest issue of The Caravan [March 2025] is titled The Balakot Misdirection: How the Modi government drew political mileage out of military failure . The essay that runs to over 20 pages is a bold slap on the glowing cheek of India’s Prime Minister. The entire series of military actions taken by Narendra Modi against Pakistan, right from the surgical strike of 2016, turns out to be mere sham in this essay. War was used by all inefficient kings in the past in order to augment the patriotism of the citizens, particularly in times of trouble. For example, the Controller of the Exchequer taxed the citizens as much as he thought they could bear without violent protest and when he was wrong the King declared a war against a neighbouring country. Patriotism, nationalism, and religion – the best thing about these is that a king can use them all very effectively to control the citizens’ sentiments. Nowadays a lot of leaders emulate the ancient kings’ examples enviabl...

The Adventures of Toto as a comic strip

  'The Adventures of Toto' is an amusing story by Ruskin Bond. It is prescribed as a lesson in CBSE's English course for class 9. Maggie asked her students to do a project on some of the lessons and Femi George's work is what I would like to present here. Femi converted the story into a beautiful comic strip. Her work will speak for itself and let me present it below.  Femi George Student of Carmel Public School, Vazhakulam, Kerala Similar post: The Little Girl

Lucifer and some reflections

Let me start with a disclaimer: this is not a review of the Malayalam movie, Lucifer . These are some thoughts that came to my mind as I watched the movie today. However, just to give an idea about the movie: it’s a good entertainer with an engaging plot, Bollywood style settings, superman type violence in which the hero decimates the villains with pomp and show, and a spicy dance that is neatly tucked into the terribly orgasmic climax of the plot. The theme is highly relevant and that is what engaged me more. The role of certain mafia gangs in political governance is a theme that deserves to be examined in a good movie. In the movie, the mafia-politician nexus is busted and, like in our great myths, virtue triumphs over vice. Such a triumph is an artistic requirement. Real life, however, follows the principle of entropy: chaos flourishes with vengeance. Lucifer is the real winner in real life. The title of the movie as well as a final dialogue from the eponymous hero sugg...
