NaMo is soft target

Why do Psuedos target NaMo?

The obvious answer:  There’s a calculated and organized campaign to keep the bogie of Godhra alive so as to keep the muslim vote in a state of tactical anti-BJPism, which in turn prevents anti-Congressism from coalescing into an alliance with BJP as its pivot.

But that only explains one half of the equation.  The organized part - The NGOs, the political activists and similar ‘mob-for-hire’ types whose livelihood depends on keeping flames of Godhra alive.

But how about the non-professional part of the equation.  The media personalities who do not gain materially from this anti-NaMo slugfest, the Anglicized liberal arts graduate, the pink chaddis.

The answer is simple:  NaMo is a soft target.

Exhibit A:  http://www.sabrang.com/srikrish/vol1.htm - This link illustrates in gory detail events leading upto the 1992-93 riots in Mumbai.  Which both in scale and ferocity rivaled, if not surpassed, anything seen in the aftermath of the Godhra train burning.

Interestingly, the torching of Radhabai Chawl at the hands of Muslims was an incident eerily similar to what took place with the train of Hindu pilgrims in Godhra.

Leading the rioters from the front and goading them through daily editorials in his newspaper Saamna was Balasaheb Thackeray.  The undisputed king of Mumbai.

As investigations into the riots commenced, Balasaheb not only owned up to the riots but also demolition of the disputed structure in Ayodhya.  On several occasions he publically applauded the ‘valor’ shown by his Sainiks.

All these are well documented facts.  Anyone who lived through those times can attest to them.  Yet, why do these pink chaddis (and I do mean that in a gender neutral sense – but the pun is intended) types focus solely on NaMo.

1992-93 had a CONgress govt. both at the center and state levels and unlike Gujarat where NaMo asked for the Army to be deployed within hours of the first riot breaking out, Pawar and his cronies stalled for days before the Army was finally called in.  The final straw was that 5000 odd Sainiks had gathered outside Behrampada, ready to storm a densely populated muslim ghetto.  The devastation would have been unimaginable.

Why then do these pink chaddi types give Balasaheb and CONgress a free pass but pile on to NaMo?

The Answer is Simple: There is ZERO chance of NaMo firing back.  No fear of retaliation.

Let these pink chaddis utter a word against Balasaheb and lets see how long they can last even if they find refuge at 10 Janpath.

NaMo represents a convenient punching bag any pink chaddi can use to buttress their ‘secular’ ‘liberal’ credentials.  Zero cost. Bark, call NaMo a facist, a mass murderer, the poor man will keep working for his Gujarat.  This poor man will keep working his 20 hour work days on improving the lot of his much ignored girl child, on his irrigation-starved farmers on his ordinary amdavadis and suratis and kutchis.

Try the same with Sharad Pawar or Sonia and government TV Ads (representing 20-25% of Ad revenue for most channels) will dry up.  Lucrative licensing and political pimping fees will dry up.

Try the same with Balasaheb and a 110 lbs Sainik will rip you a new one.

But hit NaMo as hard as you want and then walk through the streets claiming valiance. 

But here’s a message for all you Pink Chaddis out there - every assault on NaMo is an assault on Bhartiya Asmita.  This Asmita will never retaliate, she will bear every insult silently, but she will never forget and when the time comes she will inspire every Indian into voting for the one man who can restore her long lost stature.
