Indian Politics Reality

Padmini Arhant

The excerpts from CBC News on the assassination of Canadian Sikh Harjit Singh Nijjar.

India – the country as the most invaded nation on earth by colonial powers to modern day treasonous power mongers in collusion with anyone baiting pseudo hall of fame, false felicitations and monetary rewards in quid pro quo is the status quo.

In exchange, the unaffordable economic transactions are forged at taxpayers’ expense benefitting the external political and internal specific oligarchs’ interests while leaving the overwhelming majority naked in impoverished conditions much to own embarrassment prompting the New Delhi regime to shield the existence of those population with temporary wall in Ahmedabad, Gujarat earlier in 2020 during the former U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit and recently September 2023 in New Delhi prior to G20 summit.

The supposedly largest democracy only proven major hypocrisy in light of rigged elections, unaccounted financial investments in horse trading involving buying and selling of elected representatives with illegal money in the state and national election in the absence of single party majority to form government nationwide and at the center is the norm.

As for the profile of political members in Indian politics in people’s assembly and the upper house of the Parliament, again alarming members have criminal records ranging from corruption, forgery, embezzlements, rape, murder to treason and relevantly terrorism.

The matter Indian politics asserts as national issue despite being the epitome of terror and horror to many in Kashmir, northern state of Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, North eastern states, Central states and remaining regions of the country.

The current regime – Bharatiya Janata Party, not long ago the western determined dangerous right wing fundamentalist denying travel visa to the incumbent PM Narendra Modi, then Chief Minister of Gujarat for the incontrovertible evidence in the massacre of thousands of innocent women, children, youth and elderly – largely Indian Muslims and fair percentage of Hindus falling victims to Hindutva leaderships heading Gujarat orchestrated communal riots and social unrest in 2002.

The key witnesses and testimony from Indian government employed IPS officer like Sanjiv Bhatt and several others sentenced to life imprisonment on false charges, incarceration and even murder of those daring to speak the truth on then Gujarat government and leaderships’ direct engagement in the gruesome atrocity.

The indelible crimes of Godhra violence in 2002 and subsequent gross human rights violations by then incumbent CM Narendra Modi led to arrest warrant issued in the state of New York.

The arrest was averted with then democrat President Barack Obama executive order for a right wing Hindutva leadership confirming politics’ convergence regardless of political affiliation. The gesture converted the political beneficiary – the alter ego of the empathizer.

To the contrary, the current democrat administration run by former President Barack Obama hardly cease pursuits of the opponent, the former President Donald Trump conveying through state media on the possible arrest of the former Republican President.

Bharatiya Janata Party, the political wing of the radical militant RSS, the ideological organization hijacking Hinduism colluded with colonialists in pre and now post independence India.

Under the current leadership of Narendra Modi, the party and government appointed cabinet ministers are associated with incendiary violent attacks, unleashed abominable human rights violations against any and all segments classified anti-Hindu.

The BJP members and allies instigating unspeakable crimes are fertile grounds for local disturbance through discriminatory central government policy -normalized in nature.

The latest being Manipur – the northeastern state riddled with inter community confrontations between Hindu and Christians resulting in grotesque killings of the latter not barring parading two Christian women of Kurki tribes bare naked in public square with the younger one gang raped by Hindu tribe wiping out her male members of the family in the slaughter.

The Hindu tribe in return facing retributions from those victimized… the BJP central government and state leadership tone deaf to these developments exacerbate pain and anguish on al sides until now.

In other violent episodes, the regular assaults, prejudice, isolation and marginalization of Indian Muslims, the so-called Dalits of Hindu Caste deemed untouchables in the backdrop of moon landing, the unsettled plight of Kashmiris and much more country wide elicit the Indian state of affairs under the current leadership.

The pertinent problem with BJP attracting huge credibility issue on terrorism is the sitting BJP member in the people house of the Parliament viz. the Lok Sabha. The member is none other than the controversial Pragya Thakur, having served jail time on terrorism for her pivotal role in bomb blast near Mumbai in the western state of Maharashtra.

The PM Narendra Modi personally campaigned for the election of the convicted terrorist Pragya Thakur in 2019– last general election not only ignoring then BJP candidate’s terror conviction and imprisonment but also slighted Pragya Thakur inflammatory remark hailing the assassin of the world renowned India’s freedom movement leader Mahatma Gandhi as the hero.

The BJP including PM Narendra Modi in agreement on memorializing the assassin Nathu Ram Godse with a statue in city square further explain the intense fundamentalism rife with acrimony towards peace and secular India.

In contrast, the photo op moments accompanying foreign leaders to late Mahatma Gandhi resting place (samadhi) laying wreath clarify the fake sentiment towards the slain leader aka India’s father of the nation.

The BJP representing RSS, whose member Nathu Ram Godse assassination of Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi, was the initialization process evolving into by far the most violent terrorist organization and political party wreaking havoc in the past and present century.

Indian politics, besides radical BJP, is representative of nepotism, dynasty, celebrity from film industry and sports, industrialists and royal remnants…in the much touted world’s largest phony democracy.

The government leadership at the center and politics craving for 24/7 good or bad publicity never miss opportunity in the wanton quest for prominence for all the wrong reasons to be in limelight.

Indian politics introspection on trajectory sponsoring terrorism on own soil against the minorities, marginalized, disadvantaged, disenfranchised and relevantly journalists, writers, authors, human rights activists and lawyers, environmentalists… persecution and arrests are paramount prior to presiding over elimination of purported terrorism against India by foreign citizens.

India’s enemies are within the political establishment and domestic shores substituting previous brutal foreign authorities. The complicity and complacency abusing power is the monumental betrayal of the nation and ordinary citizens since time immemorial and intensified in the present age.

The nation with commencement of terror in the assassination of the leader Mahatma Gandhi, instrumental in the independence movement is the tell all about the defiantly incorrigible polity.

Accordingly, Indian politics branding anyone else abroad a terrorist is a far cry.

These are serious events that should be raised by people in international domain with their governments and anyone maintaining ties especially the west’s public love-fest with the once western characterized Hindu fundamentalist leadership – Narendra Modi.

These events also shed spotlight on western democracy values, care and concern or the lack thereof for human rights at home and abroad.

Only evil would nurture evil.

History is testament to western demolition of democracy worldwide with the latest in Ukraine in 2014,. The ramifications of which endured by Ukrainians, Russians and the world at large – specifically the United States draining U.S. taxpayer dollars funding the ongoing war in the once peaceful Ukraine.

The western interventions until now stymieing democracy world over delivered extraordinary challenges for the targeted nations leaving them in worst possible conditions than before interference.

The western meddling in backing authoritarian regimes under the guise of democracy submissive to western agenda, invariably prioritizing profit, economic interests and strategic dominance at any costs not barring own citizens and armed forces lives easily dispensed as collateral damage revealing western hostility to real democracy and life in general.

Case in point among many world over –  the  CIA involved violent overthrow of the only democratic leader of Iran Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh for the premier’s decision to nationalize Iran’s oil resources to benefit Iranian lives, the move rejected by the west in view of huge impediment to Dutch Shell Oil company and British Petroleum etc. 

The outcome – Iran is now under the control of theological hard line rulers banning women’s rights, individual freedom and anything related to democratic principles all of which the western world  apparently sidelined and formalize nuclear status, the key demand of the Iranian theological hierarchy much to their western ally Israel’s contention.

However, the moral on the western immorality of crushing democracy with tinpot dictatorships and authoritarianism is the western sponsored dictators and autocrats have met the inevitable fate on every account either by western authorized public lynching or their own oppressed citizens’ sentencing of the criminal leadership.

They were witnessed in once strong western allies – Iraq’s former President Saddam Hussein and Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, among others far and wide were western partners as long as they were in compliance with the western format and caveat.

The minute they falter or demonstrate change of heart and mind, that was crossing the red line for western deal makers moving ahead with the termination of not only relations, their lives as well in the commonly executed action.

India – Election Fraud

March 17, 2023

India – West Bengal 2021 Bypoll 

Padmini Arhant

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee projected as rival and so-called opposition to national political party BJP and incumbent in New Delhi, the former role in the state’s bypoll in 2021 is noteworthy for two reasons.

1. For voter awareness and awakening in the Chief Minister’s own state – West Bengal.

2. Another scene play with script and performance at national level is ready to roll in general election in 2024.

The 2021 bypoll in West Bengal – the ruling party Trinamool Congress (TMC) wins comfortably against national political party BJP with a large majority in the State Assembly headed by the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Now individually, the TMC candidate Mamata Banerjee contested from two constituencies rather than just one – breaking the tradition held from 2011 – 2021.

In that bypoll – the West Bengal State assembly candidate Mamata Banerjee contested from her original home turf Bhavanipur against BJP’s female candidate interestingly bearing the name Priyanka Tibrewal.

Mamata Banerjee is reported to have won a major victory against BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal with a margin of 58,832 votes in Bhavanipur constituency.

Source: The Hindu News – thehindu.com

October 3, 2021.

“Mamata Banerjee back in Bengal Assembly with Bhabanipur win

Bengal Chief Minister registers record margin of 58,835 votes over BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal.”

In the same bypoll in 2021, the candidate Mamata Banerjee contesting in a different constituency Nandigram where she did not have a firm footing or popularity given voter grievances against the TMC chief is challenged by BJP’s male candidate Suvendu Adhikari who reportedly defeated Mamata Banerjee by 1956 votes. Though not a substantial margin, the defeat of Mamata Banerjee by BJP’s male candidate is registered important.

The difference in margin of votes in victory and defeat of Mamata Banerjee in two different constituencies deserve attention from voters in West Bengal and Indian electorate en masse for present and future reference.

The Bhavanipur constituency delivering victory to Mamata Banerjee is a wide margin 58,832 votes giving Mamata fancy wings to fly with BJP in national contest as defacto. In a way flattery and adulation in politics is never enough.

Contrarily, in Nandigram constituency, the low key 1956 votes a mere digit higher than Mamata Didi’s birth year is assigned to the loss to safeguard Mamata Didi’s image in West Bengal and national politics that is tarnished and damaged in controversial Sarada financial scam used by BJP against Mamata Didi.

The typical arsenal for sitting Indian Prime Minister and Home minister against members within and outside  political establishment, institutions and organizations they target for nefarious goals. 

These two glaring distinctions in the so-called electoral outcome in this bypoll in West Bengal is litmus test on electoral process legitimacy dismally  failing as it is clearly indicative of refined calibration of results to suit political manipulators strategy. 

That’s unfortunately the sad fate of Indian democracy and election credibility having become nothing more than a number for easy political maneuver however possible.

TMC Chief Mamata Nanerjee winning by significant margin against BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal is attributed to Mamata Banerjee as the candidate. The rival BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal on the other hand is the proxy nominated as Padmini Arhant by BJP losing miserably in the make-believe contest.

Simultaneously, BJP’s male candidate Suvendu Adhikari winning against the candidate Mamata Banerjee now this time is apparently Padmini Arhant.

The deeply insecure incumbent Prime Minister of India is using political factions and proxies to gain satisfaction from bizarre ridiculous imaginary swaps again borrowed from the masters to witness and rejoice my loss in elections that I am no part of  to begin with.

The same scenario is ready to be rolled out with none other than TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee cast as me i.e. Padmini Arhant with incumbent BJP Prime Minister candidate defeating Mamata Banerjee as Padmini Arhant with a landslide margin in 2024 national election.

That’s the reason TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee is advised to remain aloof from the rest of the opposition and announced the solo bid in 2024 general election to aid Indian PM’s devious agenda.

Indian incumbent Prime Minister, Home Minister and so-called political opposition in India kow-towing to international clique, their masters in global arena are reminded once and for all on status quo between you and me and that is explicitly fait accompli.

Accordingly politics squandering public taxpayers money in pseudo elections against me to serve egotistical megalomaniacal political aspirations is lunacy reflecting desperate times seeking desperate downfall – the current stark reality. 

What the TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee as the state’s Chief Minister must explain to voters in West Bengal and Indian electorate at large is the quid pro quo between West Bengal CM and Indian PM.

What exactly transpired between the two members prompting Mamata Banerjee to engage in 2024 national election as a single candidate?

What kinda of rewards promised and agreed to for this performance earlier in 2021 West Bengal bypoll and the one organized in 2024?

Indian democracy as such long been subverted and laid to rest. The political theatrics by the ruling and so-called opposition only deceive voters in West Bengal or any state and national electorate.

Indian politics is in serious crises with corruption, power struggle and plutocracy in governance.

Finally, reiterating earlier statement that I’m Padmini Arhant. My name is Padmini Arhant and not whoever wherever whatever name they choose for me that would be my identity. Such charade only confirm politics in fools paradise.

I say to Indian and international polity – the incognito in particular presiding over the ignoramus identity swap imposed on me as their prerogative.

I need no more namkarans – christening with any names of your choice or random naming which is.a serious violation of my individual right in identity theft mania ultimately hurting all those involved without exception in severe karmic effects.

Etiquette in Orthodox Tradition

Etiquette in Orthodox Tradition

Padmini Arhant 

Politics defining culture for others to follow often vary between political speech and action. In other words, politics invariably never practice what it preaches society. Politics introduce and impose laws on society while hold themselves above law on everything in adherence to political hypocrisy.

Politics deploy all means and resources to humiliate tarnish and incarcerate their targets. At the same time facts based positive and constructive criticism on political decisions and actions affecting millions of lives are never tolerated by politics.

The presumptuousness misinterpreting electoral mandate as authority and entitlement to authoritarianism besides extension of power in extra judicial execution are exercised as political prerogative.

The political diktat is not limited to governance involving tax payers money and service via policy and planning which are by and large abysmal reflected in status quo.

The orthodox conservative political stance lecturing on women issues such as attire and social moral behavior citing own historical epic like Mahabharata’s female lead protagonist Draupati despite the latter driven into such situation by force not by choice in terms of marital status highlighting Indian Aryan culture adapted by then and current descendants.

The present RSS run BJP government and leadership at the helm assertion on Hindu religion and cultural traditions are anachronistic to say the least exposing the otherwise flamboyant unorthodox mannerism in public engagement.

Either one is orthodox and traditional as propagated to be and expected of others who is not even remotely connected to the league or anyone joining the chorus in any shape or form.

Or they are beatniks rejecting the norms of conventional society.

What is witnessed from Indian politics and leadership contrast that of yet another conservative tradition from foreign leadership as seen in the following images when dealing with opposite gender. 

The supposedly Hindu orthodox in name only never miss the opportunity to mock and ridicule their obsessed targets is an irony by definition and reality.

Ax always actions matter than words and rhetoric.

India – BJP Loss in Bihar State Election

August 22, 2022

India – BJP New Delhi Loss in Bihar State Election

Padmini Arhant

The BJP government in New Delhi abysmal performance in Bihar state election in August 2022 securing mere 36 seats out of 196 assembly seats is a serious setback for the national government under incumbent leadership despite falsely hyped popularity ratings and alleged rising evidently reflected otherwise in the election result.

Bihar, once regarded the Hindutva government’s strong Hindi and Hindu belt serving as the fertile ground for the national government and major political party BJP to carry out religious sacrilege by cow vigilantes and RSS promoted hate crimes in the northern state.

The dismal outcome in Bihar is the aftermath of New Delhi’s controversial and detrimental military defense policy Agnipath (the path of fire) literally proved highly inflammable via electoral backlash for the presumptuous leadership and political party at the state and national level.

New Delhi preoccupied in toppling state governments through unlawful unscrupulous horse trading has suffered severe Agnipath blowback in Bihar.

The horse trading normalized under BJP and the regime chief in New Delhi routinely engage in open bribery with illegal cash and black money buying opposition MP’s and MLA’s in the national and state assembly.

Failing that, the political opposition members are selectively subject to central government agency financial raid and other form of blackmail and even loss of life. 

These atrocities are subverted and promoted as pluralism and capitalism in society.

Nonetheless, the proof is in the pudding i.e. the  electoral whip in Bihar is the beginning of the end  of decadence and pseudo nationalism.

The disillusioned unemployed youth in Bihar warned about the inevitable electoral defeat for BJP and New Delhi regime’s head in the wake of Agnipath defense recruitment denying the potential recruits any retirement or medical benefits besides diminishing job prospects contracted to five year term with no employment guarantee.

Politics is now forced to deal with electorate will as witnessed in Sri Lanka, Bihar – India or anywhere.

The time is not far when politics will be replaced with suitable and effective technology based system appropriate in the prevalent contactless era deemed ideal for military operation and management of national defense force.

The politics becoming a thing of the past might also save tax payers money from huge taxes by and large squandered and unaccounted for as political tradition.

Not to mention the politics elimination sparing the society and country from corruption and treason.

The right to self-determination is a matter of recognition and experience for citizens across the spectrum in society barring politics instigated divisiveness and polarization.

India – RSS ,BJP, VHP, BD Saffron Harassment or Terrorism?

India – Saffron Harassment or Terrorism? 

Padmini Arhant

 

Students Heckled in Karnataka College, India over Hijab Controversy.

Muslim female students targeted and isolated in the controversial hijab ban in government college while allowing Hindu and Hindutva elements to adorn their saffron scarf and other religious identity in the classroom and educational institution in the South Western RSS run BJP state Karnataka. 

Just recently the fundamentalist group was represented by college graduates claiming to be higher caste Brahmin Hindus – the male and female pair auctioned publicly known and unknown muslim women online seeking bidders to bid on them. The disgusting and despicable behavior was never condemned by the ruling politics and majority opposition remaining silent with negligible exceptions sharing their comments on social media.

There is obviously a serious social engineering is in play sowing venom among impressionable minds to polarize Indian society. The radicalism citing religion is also aimed at blasphemy of Lord Sri Ram in these abominable events. The chanting of Jai Sri Ram is not a religious fervor. Instead the contrary is demonstrated in the sacrilege and disdain of the Lord Ram exploiting religion by the religious zealots – RSS, BJP, The Vishwa Hindu Parishad ( targeting College students in campus), the Bajrang Dal and other factions behind violence and discord in society.

These developments are dangerous and extremely explosive in every respect especially in the economic terms considering India’s major foreign currency reserve boasted as $650 billion (?) is largely received from Hindu workers and labor force employed in the Middle East and other Islamic nations in the world.

The Indian ruling government and opposition inaction to end the trend would be inviting embarrassment and social unrest besides international response.

India – Religion and Political Dichotomy

August 11, 2020

India – Religion and Political Dichotomy

Part 1 – Identity Politics

Padmini Arhant

Dissertation on religion, sainthood and anachronism.

ReligionThe interpretation in Indian language Dharm meaning principle is the foundation to inner peace and resolve to deal with any challenges in life.

Unfortunately, religion misused as the axis of power. It is convenient for those in politics to assert  fundamentalism and sectarianism subverting religion to remain in power despite colossal failure in meeting basic expectations in governance beginning with economy, health crisis and national security allowing enemy incursions viz. China in the Himalayan and north eastern Indian territory violating sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Indian government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi focus to establish Hindu state touted Hindu Rashtra stoke unnecessary sentiments anchored on polarization though Hindus’ economic and social status are not better or different from non-Hindus such as muslims and various religious social denominations in secular India.

The wanton endeavor  is nothing more than a distraction to shift public frustration and dissatisfaction on status quo. The economic struggles among the middle class, lower income and the poor regardless of social and religious category have reached crescendo in the absence of effective economic plan.

In fact the economic status nationwide has significantly declined with soaring unemployment in formal and informal sectors well before the pandemic onset. The lack of prudent economic policy plummeted economic growth, drowned business opportunities leading to economic descend in the middle class representing the large consumer base and raised poverty among the lower income segments and the poor bereft of any income only worsened in the ravenous corona virus consuming lives at a rapid rate.

Socially, the caste orientation predominantly for political advantage by all parties in Indian politics desperately rely on divisive strategy. Nonetheless, the Hindutva ideologue RSS run BJP government heavily invested in identity politics targeting muslims in religion besides christians and other faiths on the brink of isolation. RSS radicalism does not spare Hindus either.

Among Hindus the so-called Dalits and overwhelming population grouped on caste basis i.e. the untouchables in modern era relegated to scheduled caste (SC) and scheduled tribe (ST) while the rest deemed backward caste (BC) and other backward castes (OBC) in the proud caste system ironically existing since the dawn of independence now buttressed under PM Narendra Modi’s rule.

There is no doubt BJP’s heightened nationalism missing in action in defending Indian frontiers against China resulting in at least 32 Indian defense personnel martyrdom in the past months on treacherous terrain above 14,000 feet with ongoing standoff is off political radar directing national attention on fundamentalist doctrine via temple construction on embattled site in Ayodhya and controversial national education policy enforcing mandatory learning of Hindi and Sanskrit, the latter until lately exalted as God’s language and declared exclusive in communication between the self-proclaimed upper caste brahmin priests and deities in Hindu temples.  

The caste hierarchy have long oppressed and suppressed the natives and indigenous people along side colonial brutality in pre and post independence India. The resistance to any improvement let alone abolition of abhorrent casteism brimming more than ever even during the former UPA government under non-Hindu and non-Indian leadership of Sonia Gandhi, whose next of kin and political heir Rahul Gandhi never shied away from bragging about the family background in self-reference to presumptuous upper caste brahmin wearing Janeu, the supposedly sacred thread adorned by brahmin males which in turn is an identity theft gotten away in misrepresentation over centuries semblance to contemporary event and conduct among egocentric power fame and fortune mongers in society.

As for Rahul Gandhi’s attempt to garner the so-called upper caste Hindu votes, the family tree comprising muslim ancestry grandfather Feroz with adopted surname Gandhi, the spouse of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is never acknowledged as such in any domain for political expediency in the shadow of Congress party pseudo secularism.

The other national political party – RSS controlled BJP under PM Narendra Modis stewardship has made quantum leap grinding the caste and religion based politics to 5G level inversely squashing the SC,ST, OC and OBC caste structure to outcasts demonstrated in mob lynching and marginalization in voting rights, decreasing reservation or quotas through introduction of parallel concession to so-called upper castes in middle and lower economic strata. PM Narendra Modi’s political campaign in national election was falsely launched as OBC (other backward caste) candidate yet backed by hardline extremists RSS pledged to pedigree adapted from colonial patronage.

The circumvention and maneuvering on religion and caste politics, the long held tradition among national and state / provincial political factions in India cashing in on vote banks for political mileage is the main reason behind casteism and faith related stigma hindering India’s unity and progress.

The deceptive narrative through government and politics operated media and news organizations muzzling the voice of democracy claiming majoritarian rule favored promoting Hindutva statehood especially amid dismal economic, social and national security environment affecting citizens across the spectrum is analogous to belief on camel through a needle’s eye. 

The trading and bargaining on political opposition luring opponents and judiciary authorities with political memberships in parliament and government positions typically aimed at democracy and constitution demolition, BJP’s preferred act in exemplifying the will their way i.e. aggression and violence could be classified RSS heritage.

Indian incumbent PM Narendra Modi government activities resemblance to Israel’s democratic version firmly proclaimed as the Jewish state setting precedence and opposition compromised with political incentives in the long serving contentious PM Benjamin Netanyahu administration with alternate  Prime Minister Benny Giantz strange combo leaderships could not be mere coincidence. The current political trend under the guise of democracy inhibiting religious distinction in the separation of church and state endanger republic status anywhere. 

The same would apply to Islamic republics as well in the definition of democracy confused with religious fundamentalism exerting authority transforming the choice to rudimentary theocracy.

The topic will continue on sainthood and anachronism linked to latest developments on Lord Ram temple and civilization degradation.

Thank you.

India – What is worse for India – Corona or Hindutva Virus?

March 2, 2020

India –

What is worse for India

Corona 

or

Hindutva Virus? 

Padmini Arhant

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi not missing opportunity in his busy schedule to share his personal comments and messages especially to film and sports celebrities somehow unable to afford time or possess the heart to console the latest victims of his government organized hate crime and abominable atrocities against innocent men, women and children. Similar apathy from PM Narendra Modi witnessed during the 2019 Bihar encephalitis outbreak consuming 150 children of largely poorer sections in the community. 

The Delhi violence – the heinous crimes not barring rape, loot, vandalism, demolition of shops, schools, hospitals, gas stations and residential areas in the targeted assaults in North East Delhi, justifies the call for resignation of the government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.

When government elected to represent all the people i.e. those who voted for the ruling political party as well as those who decided to cast their vote for other options in the electoral ballot, the discrimination of any kind from and by the government is undemocratic, unconstitutional and unacceptable.

The hooligans in the latest Delhi violence and unfortunately many in uniform as police force public funded to protect citizens from any harm indulge in taunting and tormenting the victims of state sponsored terrorism insulting the citizens for exercising their democratic right in their voting preference is shameful and even worse is the government and crony contingency defiance to bring these murderers to justice. 

BJP politics has been transparent in terms of their isolation and segregation of demography viz. muslims and so-called Dalits in society, the primary targets of hate crime by RSS cow vigilantes and saffron gangs roaming the streets insisting muslims and the so-called lower caste Hindus to chant Jai Sri Ram in direct sacrilege of the religion Hinduism that RSS and BJP have systematically exploited and distorted to promote their Hindutva ideology.

What RSS run BJP have done in the name of Hindu religion which has nothing to do with their insidious Hindutva ideology is blasphemy. 

As for politics, BJP has been open about their selective responsibility only to those who cast their vote to them even though that has been a dismal failure leading to major disillusionment among BJP voters left on the lurch with serious economic woes and social problems on safety and security of women and much more concerning daily survival.

The government indifference was shockingly displayed in the latest Delhi violence allowing casualties to rise from the lack of leadership and administrative dereliction  of duty at all levels beginning with Home Ministry headed by Amit Shah in charge of law and order nationwide and the capital New Delhi in particular. The responsibility was also shrugged by the Delhi State government under Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal abstaining from constitutional oath and moral obligation to all citizens in the state at the critical hour ignoring life and death situation of his electorate.

BJP’s Lok Sabha (People House) member of Parliament Menaka Gandhi during election campaign in May 2019 was the harbinger of BJP’s omission and commission action warning muslim voters in Sultanpur that they would be neglected and asked them not to expect any government attention on any matter upon them casting their vote to anyone other than BJP.

2019 GENERAL ELECTIONS

Lok Sabha polls: Maneka Gandhi says if Muslims don’t vote for her she won’t work for them.

BJP polarization politics is deep rooted in every format. The marginalization of segments and population based on caste and religion by a national political party is the fundamental reason behind sponsored violence and extremism.

To add fuel to fire, the BJP Rajya Sabha member Dr. Subramaniam Swamy misinterpretation of Holy Quran in semblance to constant subversion of Hindu Holy Scriptures and provocative recommendations such as transformation of India as Hindu state slighting other religions besides Islam is an intellectual deformity defying rationality.

BJP MP Subramaniam Swamy further suggesting that muslims have 57 Islamic nations to choose for residency and that India is not an open shelter state to grant refuge to all i.e. muslims in this instance explains the Hindutva doctrine on alienation and subordination.

Is Dr.Subramaniam Swamy mindful of Indian diaspora predominantly Hindu citizens working throughout Gulf States that are Islamic nations and facilitating Indian economy in foreign currency reserves and contributions to maintain their Hindu families in India enabling the economic activities as consumers and investors in India’s ailing economy?

India’s status quo reflected in ramshackle politics deviating from immediate focus to revive economy and provide safe conducive environment for all to live in peace and harmony. Instead preoccupation in divisive politics leading the country to mayhem and despair.

A poignant reminder to ruling BJP government – the national representation of a central government delivering unconditional service in meeting the basic to special requirements of citizens across the nation is not defined by electoral mandate percentage but rather the mandatory commitment incumbent upon any political party assuming power at the central and state governance.

On CAA, NPR and NRC – the BJP government assertion on preemptive declaration of these laws in their election manifesto and standing the grounds to legislate them is again ignoring the fact that the case might be relevant only to those who may have approved through their ballot but then there are others at least 49% of the population that did not vote for BJP related to various issues including the controversial CAA,NPR and NRC legitimately exempting them from such rule of law.

Accordingly, CAA, NPR and NRC was rejected by significant majority electorate in the polls to avert unraveling citizenship and statehood status.

The authorities’ acknowledgement in action to represent all in the nation leaving none behind would alleviate mistrust and build confidence among people in a diverse complex secular vast nation like India.

Any reluctance or evasion in this regard conclusively illegitimize such government authority. 

Thank you.

Indian Media – Misleading Narrative on Latest Delhi Violence

February 29, 2020

Indian Media – Misleading Narrative on Latest Delhi Violence

Padmini Arhant

India’s Capital – New Delhi has been subject to horrific violence with targeted killings premised on prejudice and deep hatred emanating from polarization politics that is unfortunate and regrettable reminding citizens of politics instigated past events whether it is 1984 Sikh massacre in Delhi, Punjab and northern India, Demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992 triggering violence, Gujarat Godhra bloodshed in 2002, Muzzafarnagar in 2013…to name a few invariably ignited by political parties and political factions in India. 

In the backdrop of such history continued until today, the Indian media’s false narrative citing the three days violence, vandalism and destruction of lives and livelihoods as Hindu – Muslim riots is in itself extremely irresponsible and unnecessary sensationalism. 

The media touted as fourth column in a democracy bear serious responsibility to douse the fire not inflame for ratings (TRP). Certain prominent media attributing the recent Delhi violence to communal clash between Hindu and Muslims contrary to state sponsored isolated killings replicating 2002 Gujarat violence beckons discernment in reporting such sensitive incident. 

The pre-meditated and well orchestrated attacks on the poor and lower income group neighborhoods with Hindu, Muslims, Sikhs and other residents living there in harmony confirmed in the mutual support and assistance to one another saving lives during the vicious assaults on them, their homes and place of worship was the focus for radical elements representing divisive politics to split the community. 

In the absence of any response from the Central and State government despite cognizance on the imminent development together with apathetic law enforcement failing to contain the onslaught on innocent men, women and children forcing them to flee their homes is deplorable.

The systematic carnage of K-12 school building, business centers, gas station, parking lot with cars in the nearby areas and above all bullet injuries sustained by most victims of which the majority are muslims and the multiple stab wound reportedly 400 times on the intelligence official among many other gross violations in North East Delhi clearly allude to have been orchestrated by those with assets at their disposal including the power to distort and subvert the horrendous crime as communal unrest.

As for hate speeches and provocation, an established demeanor in politics and RSS guided BJP spare no opportunity in this regard as witnessed not only among the junior BJP cadre and rank and file but also with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi leading in this context during public rally to pay attention to muslims clothes and their special accessories to identify them among students in Jamia Millia Islamia college police crackdown. 

As a result, the efforts to delay judicial process evading accountability is a repeat strategy for both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah throughout their political tenure. On the other hand, the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s true colors coming to light is indeed a major disillusionment for Delhi electorate granting the latter a landslide victory in the latest Delhi assembly election only to be dismissed by the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the critical hour of need clarifies political opportunism. 

Suffice to conclude that trust deficit in politics is the predominant factor prompting ordinary people to take the burgeoning issues like CAA, NPR, NRC, economic and environment concerns threatening their identity as citizens and statehood, personal survival and future respectively in the form of peaceful non-violent assembly and candle light vigil. 

Importantly, Delhi victims, their families and survivors of the atrocities in the present time desperately require healing, restoration, rehabilitation and renewed hope helping all those affected with Central and State monetary compensation and adequate facilities to resume normal life. 

There will be more updates on the matter.

Thank you.

India – Modi Shah Resignation

February 28, 2020

India – Modi, Shah Resignation

Padmini Arhant

The latest development on CAA, NPR and NRC resulting in at least twenty two casualties with majority of muslims against CAA thus far engaged in peaceful non-violent assembly until BJP minister Kapil Mishra along with BJP members Anurag Thakur and Parvesh Verma instigated violence claiming many unarmed innocent civilian lives and a law enforcement personnel life in North East Delhi is deeply regrettable.

The Central government unnecessary involvement in the outreach to Indians of specific religions barring Islam in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh while subjecting muslims and so-called lower caste Hindus as well as others to bloodshed in India clarifies the present government under PM Narendra Modi and HM Amit Shah repeating Gujarat history in New Delhi conforming to the adage ‘old habits die hard.’

Justice Muralidhar presiding the hearing on the recent violence reaches the verdict to bring BJP minister Kapil Mishra and BJP accomplices Anurag Thakur and Parvesh Verma to justice for inciting violence and letting mob activities producing the unfortunate outcome.

Not surprisingly, the home minister Amit Shah promptly transfers justice Muralidhar from Delhi High Court to northern state Punjab.

Amit Shah’s egregious decision post midnight obstructing justice to protect BJP offenders is nothing new considering his legacy in this regard viz. the Indian judge Brijgopal Harkishan Loya who served in a special court which deals with matters relating to the Central Bureau of Investigation. Justice Loya was presiding over the Sohrabuddin Sheikh case directly linked to Amit Shah.

Justice Loya delivered judgement against Amit Shah in 2002 Gujarat violence. Justice Loya  was murdered upon declining bribe and other incentives to drop the judgement against Amit Shah at that time.

Narendra Modi and Amit Shah’s political career as stated earlier is marred with violence, communal riots, mob lynching, murder of members in judiciary, investigating agency such as CBI that happened lately, BJP Lok Sabha member of parliament Gopinath Munde murder in June 2014 covered up as freak road accident due to disagreements in policy within party, gunning down of journalist and writer Gauri Lankesh in Bangalore with PM Narendra Modi cheering the incident by following the assassin’s twitter, unlawful imprisonment of former IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt from Gujarat are chronicles in Narendra Modi and Amit Shah run state and central government.

Sanjiv Bhatt is a former Indian Police Service officer from Gujarat. Sanjiv Bhatt filed an affidavit in the Indian Supreme Court against then Chief Minister Narendra Modi heading the Government of Gujarat for his complicity in communal violence leading to killings of citizens mostly muslims such as women and children burned alive in some instances as the reports surfaced later. 

The imprisonment of the former Senior police officer Sanjiv Bhatt is not an isolated incident. Upon becoming Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has selectively isolated human rights activist and environmentalist, the United States born citizen Mrs. Sudha Bharadwaj, a legal attorney in her own rights among several other human rights advocates, journalists and authors branded urban naxals holding them in indefinite unlawful unconstitutional imprisonment denying them due process viz. habeas corpus to prove their innocence are mere examples in the series of violations and abuse of power by Narendra Modi and Amit Shah thus far.

Notwithstanding the harassment and aggressive tactics against former Indian Army personnel – Ex -Border Security Force Officer Tej Bahadur Yadav forcing the soldier’s twenty one years old son to commit suicide from the unbearable constant Modi government and media intimidation of the family. The Ex-BSF officer Tej Bahadhur Yadav upon rejecting Narendra Modi and Amit Shah’s bribe of $500 million  to drop out of the 2019 national election against Narendra Modi in Varanasi fraudulently disqualified the Indian soldier’s candidacy in May 2019.

Furthermore, Narendra Modi and Amit Shah’s political strategy deploying devious means such as bribery or threats to conduct raid against members of opposition political parties in an effort to wipe opposition in the political system is the norm.

Besides, anyone in any institution heading probe against the incumbent administration and government i.e. PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah’s numerous corruption dealings and criminal activities are either lured with cash and foreign posts or eliminated from their positions including murder of such individuals for non-cooperation.

Narendra Modi’s rise to political status at India’s detriment aptly attributed to United States former so-called democrat President Barack Obama having come to Narendra Modi’s rescue misusing Presidential power preventing the trial against Narendra Modi on Gujarat violence in New York Court that summoned then Chief Minister Narendra Modi upon his arrival at JFK, New York was just the beginning.

Now the successor United States President Donald Trump glorifying Narendra Modi’s profile substantiates United States stance on human rights, democracy, constitution and individual liberty that obviously flouted time and time again regardless of political representation in the United States proudly declared the beacon of democracy.

United States and western allies together with others in the multinational corporate run global politics, fostering authoritarian, dictatorial regimes is the tradition. History is testament to the fact in every part of the world predominantly to serve vested interests much to the destruction of constitutional based democratic governance.

Although, United States having earlier rightfully not granting travel visa to Narendra Modi related to Gujarat violence and scores of innocent deaths in 2002 only to be reversed by the so-called democrat President Barack Obama and lately Republican incumbent President Donald Trump slighting recent events confirms United States government priority or the lack thereof to human rights and the fundamentals of democracy.

Indian government leaderships under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah subversion of democracy and extreme violations in the abuse of power leading to incessant violence, innocent deaths, unnecessary tensions and unrest in the country appropriately calls for the resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah sparing vulnerable segments viz. muslims, so-called Dalits and other targeted demography from continuous persecution and religion caste based mob killings that has become the way of life in addition to saving democracy as well as the distressed economy is paramount.

India’s secular diverse culture and hard fought independence in adherence to constitution protected equal rights, opportunity and respect for all barring any form of prejudice exerting caste, religion and other basis could no longer be dismissed as witnessed in the ongoing political, social and economic precipice.

I convey my sincere condolences to the families and students who have suffered enormously in the recent violence and survivors who have lost their loved ones in the senseless government actions on CAA, NPR and NRC .

I also urge the vast number of Indians protesting against CAA, NPR and NRC to maintain absolute peaceful, non-violent, civil decorum and disposition resisting any form of provocation and instigation from the government and their representative groups harming collectively as there are no winners in violence.

Importantly, the CAA, NPR and NRC protesters engagement through direct dialogue and discourse on this matter is pertinent and would avoid such confrontations with groups likely to infuse altercation.

There are also ways to submit your grievances and share your concerns through social media provided access available to exercise the basic right unlike the government intervention in Kashmir blocking communication and internet access for longer period prolonging until now over there.

The resolution to the current situation in India is for the BJP government to repeal CAA and abandon the unconstitutional undemocratic NPR, NRC and resume established census method safeguarding citizens rights and privacy.

As for the population as second and third generation residents with no documents and not having criminal records threatening any citizen’s safety and national security should be granted amnesty or asylum again discarding religion based criteria treating all as nothing but humans and Indians in statehood and citizenship.

The government’s failure to resolve the issue in the above manner i.e. revoking CAA and adopting democratic practice on national census leaves the nation and the ones inevitably to be affected viz. significant percentage of all Indians not just muslim Indians in government obstinacy on citizenship rights with no choice but seek removal of leaderships from power.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah stepping down from office would demonstrate Indian democracy’s strength and legitimacy.

Thank you.

Indian National Budget 2020

February 4, 2020

Indian National Budget 2020 

Padmini Arhant

India”s BJP government Finance Minister Nirmala Prabhakar’s recent national budget 2020 lacks focus on economic revival.

The budget suppress opportunity for rural and agriculture economy in dire straits. There is no solution now or in the foreseeable future to address soaring unemployment among educated youth and qualified work force.

The so-called tax increase on wealthy in India reverse course in action witnessed in latest bail out of Tamil film industry actor Rajnikanth’s tax evasion case by BJP government. 

The BJP administration rather than filling vacancies alleviating record unemployment in the severely understaffed judiciary overwhelmed with tax frauds and tax evasion cases, prompts the tax department under government control to withdraw cases on tax fraud in the amount 1 crore (million) rupees and below letting the actor Rajnikanth, an ardent BJP supporter off the hook.

BJP administration’s egregious decision in this regard depriving the nation from desperately required tax revenue exempting the wealthiest in politics, economic and entertainment sector on fair share of taxes exemplify the privileged exploiting the average citizens in India. Not to mention the trend fundamentally widening the gap between the filthy rich and poor in society.

Media, press and communication outlets complicity in the matter cannot be discounted. 

At the same time, BJP government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi declined any debt or tax relief to farmers owing money as little as 1,000 rupees to max 50,000 rupees resulting in farmers’ suicide nationwide.

This is the reality camouflaged with false projections and promises only to be broken during their term in office.

The topic will continue on other aspects of the budget 2020.

Thank you.
