Dear Fellow Internet Hindus,
Even the PM would wholeheartedly accept and acknowledge our role in his historic victory. The normally bickering Hindu ummah sunk their differences to elect a leader with unparalleled and unprecedented leadership qualities.
Each of us joined this battle motivated by our own personal/political agendas and preferences. Some were driven by Hindutva, others by anti-corruption, still others by a desire to save Mother India.
But before NDA2 could find its feet the same army of Internet Hindus began turning on its much loved PM. He was expected to defy the very laws of physics and basic common sense to launch an all out multi-front war on every small and large enemy of India. From minor sickular beat reporters to China's machinations, Internet Hindus wanted instant results. Why was Sonia still out of prison, why werent Kashmiri Pandits resettled, why hadnt Bangladeshis driven back, why was D4 part of his govt, why hadnt Pakistan taught a lesson, why was his govt dealing with some Twitter executive who had abused him on SM.......the list went on.
I had written a few posts advising patience and explained the constraints he was dealing with here - http://inflextionpoint.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-pms-dilemma.html
The almost two years since this post was written have revealed a level of performance that has shocked even the die hard Bhakt in me.
While some key performance Indicators (prices, retail corruption, jobs, etc.) still flash red, PM Modi has delivered a spectacular performance on every front.
High level corruption is finished, a vibrant domestic arms industry is taking shape, 24x7 power will be achieved in the 36 month window and water and roads should be in much improved shape as well.
Politically, 'Congress Mukt Bharat' is striding towards fruition.
In addition, global economic and defense variables are aligning in India's favor. China's territorial adventurism is only one key piece in a larger emerging global landscape.
PM Modi has come prepared to exploit these opportunities and his early successes are great news for India.
But many challenges remain. We all recognize that a repeat of 2014 in 2019 is an absolute necessity to sustain this momentum. Nothing will destroy India more than another 2004.
BJP cannot afford to become complacent. The opposition doesnt need to find a charismatic leader or a perfect coalition where all the pieces align perfectly.
As explained here a hung parliament is just as much a defeat for the BJP as not coming back to power.

Given these factors we need to quit bitching and moaning on every minor issue. Nitpick bullshit issues. Internet Hindus at times resemble an army looking for a war. Any war.
A bit of maturity on our part would help India and PM Modi tremendously.
Let us take a vow to focus our energies on real issues. Defending and promoting NDA's stellar record in governance should be our primary focus.
PM's team is firing on all cylinders to deliver on promises that will cure India of its centuries old ills.
Stop bickering and work on constructive projects. Stop going after fellow supporters of PM Modi. Minor issues should not be blown out of proportion.
The recent attack on Tarek Fatah over his support for Mohammed Ali is great example of the needless, short sighted mentality deployed by Internet Hindus.
Focus on going after real enemies of India/Hindus. Spend your time productively and efficiently.
2019 is just around the corner.

agree with all the points. but, wouldn't this be proper to be published in 2018 rather than 2016?
