Is this the LK Advani moment

 For those of us fortunate to have witnessed the hey days of Ram Janam Bhoomi Movement LK Advani (LKA) was the perfect political leader - articulate, patient, extremely intelligent and a die hard Hindu warrior. 

Like so many others yours truly regretted his decision to give up the PMship in favor or ABV.  A great, selfless decision that only served to further endear him to us. 

So many of secretly hoped he would one day become PM.  After all he was most deserving.  He was the chief architect of BJP's rise from 2 seats to the principal opposition party.  The man who gave a real political shape to Veer Savarkar's Hindutva. 

But LKA's image as the Hindutva Iron man had its limits.  In a caste ridden country where Hindutva was often (and erroneously) mistaken for upper caste supremacist ideology his physical embodiment of the ideology imposed serious boundaries on his appeal to the broad coalition needed to trounce the Congress. 

It is at this point that he made the fatal political miscalculation.  In an ill advised trip to Pakistan he praised Jinnah - the architect of partition.  A man reviled by most Indians and particularly by BJP's core voter. 

LKA ended up falling between two stools.  He was looked upon by BJP's core with suspicion - as a politician who would jettison his core beliefs to gain a broader appeal.  And the pseudosecular tribe he had helped define as a socio-political group gazed upon him with the same suspicion - a Hindu fanatic turncoat willing to trade his beliefs for political acceptance aka political gain. 

In his desire to appear 'moderate' LKA lost everything and gained nothing. 

Political pundits have analyzed LKA's misguided impulses - what prompted such a drastic U-turn.  Most have (rightly) concluded that time was running out.  

But in disappointing his core supporters he lost the army he needed to win the ground game.  Coalition partners could never replace the passion, the willingness to put life and limb on the line that came with being a BJP karyakarta. 

BJP karya kartas seldom join BJP for money, power or influence.  Their core objective is to bring about Akhand Bharat - the reign of Hindutva. 

One they detected a vacillating LKA they simply gave up.  An that has lost its heart can never trump - no matter what weapons you equip them with. 

It may be too premature to call this NaMo's LKA moment but unless drastic steps are taken to protect BJP's karya karta, a similar disillusionment could take root.  And once this takes root, turning it around becomes close to impossible. 

BJP's victories in 2014 and 2019 were won the backs of those selfless, hard working karya kartas.  Their enthusiasm was infectious.  They were willing to go toe to toe wth anyone.   We saw it again in WB. 

But with both WB and Kerala witnessing merciless killing, rape and torture of the karya karta, BJP has to wonder how long they will fight for generals who do little to defend, protect or seek retribution. 

There are several ways for BJP to retalliate.  This BJP team isnt exactly Gandhian.  They know how to play hard ball.  Its time the gloves came off. 

The best way to take out a tyrant is to send them a message.  There are several options available and dont need to be spelled out here.  But the million dollar question is - Does the current BJP leadership have the stomach to exercise said options?

P.s. Given the situation on Indo-Pak-China border, BJP's options are limited.

Solving Woke's Love Fest with Islamism

“Many well-meaning Dutch people have told me in all earnestness that nothing in Islamic culture incites abuse of women, that this is just a terrible misunderstanding. Men all over the world beat their women, I am constantly informed. In reality, these Westerners are the ones who misunderstand Islam. The Quaran mandates these punishments. It gives a legitimate basis for abuse, so that the perpetrators feel no shame and are not hounded by their conscience of their community. I wanted my art exhibit to make it difficult for people to look away from this problem. I wanted secular, non-Muslim people to stop kidding themselves that "Islam is peace and tolerance.”
― Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Infidel

From its first attempt at Gazwa-e-Hind, Islam has met with resistance within India.  Great Hindus have risen to fight it.  But along side these gallant souls, India has birthed many a traitor.  Cowards who have not only sided with Muslim tyrants but justified their cowardice/greed with long sermons on tolerance and secularism.  

In over 1000 years, nothing has changed.  The Jaichands abound to this day.  But not every Hindu is a jaichand.  Some simple do not fathom the gravity of the threat.  Preoccupied with earning a living, few have the time for fighting a threat that isnt knocking on their doors. 

Coupled with these demands on daily survival, some Hindus have a need to hide and bury their fears and cowardice under layers of so called tolerance and progressivism.  "We arent like those Chaddi wearing Sanghis" - is an oft repeated jibe.  Though directed at Hindus its primary purpose it two fold:  

a) prove to the world that they are better 

b) hope that the mullahs spare them when their date with direct action arrives 

BJP and the broader section of Hindus have treated these 'woke' Hindus as a peripheral nuisance.  Peripheral to the demon of Islamic fundamentalism that is breathing down their collective necks. 

But as the events of post election WB are proving, these Hindus are actually a very large part of the equation.  

Unless these Hindus are brought on board in the war against Islam, Hinduism will have to fight this war with both hands tied behind its back. 

As the aforementioned quote from Ayaan Hirsi Ali points out, unfamiliarity with Islam is a disease. 

If Hindus are to be united this disease must be cured.  It is a prerequiste. 

Uniting Hindus through internal reform may be a lost cause.  The only way they would unite is they are made aware of the external threat looming over their necks like the proverbial sword. 

But how do we achieve this objective. 

Here's a simple suggestion:  There are several internet celebrities, Bollywood B graders, etc. who have gained much noteriety by abusing Hindus.  

It is time we force them to put their homes where their mouths and keyboards are. 

What would happen if muslim fundamentalists are allowed to occupy the homes of these Woke Internet warriors.  

BJP govts would simply have to do nothing.  Allow mullahs to do what their religion preaches i.e. to subjugate the kaafir.  Islam doesnt discriminate between woke kaafirs and Hindu kaafirs. 

So let them loose.  Pick a few prominent Woke Web influencers and/or Bollywood loudmouths and allow mullahs to occupy their homes/offices/businesses. 

Extend the invitation to religious places funded by foreign powers.  

What do Hindus have to loose.  If Hindu women are going to be butchered like animals, why should Wokes be left out?
