This ‘apolitical’ friend of mine ask me, “Bro Why do Muslims have a problem with Modiji?”. Although this friend of mine is cute, so cute that he doesn’t read the news but believes that women protesting Shaheen Bagh have paid Rs. 500 to protest. I thought about it, why do Muslims hate Modi exactly? Is it because of the Gujrat riots? Why do we hate BJP-RSS? Is it because of the Babri-Mosque demolition? But Congress is as much culprit behind Babri demolition as Sangh Parivar and even bigger riots have happened in Gujarat, before the 2002 riots under Congress rule. Then why is it that we have become comfortable with congress than BJP. One argument could be that it is about choosing the lesser devil, but right now it is not about choosing the elections that are far away. One can also say that opposing BJP means supporting the Congress, but nobody can deny the fact that for an average Indian it is either BJP or Congress. It’s not just Modi’s charisma, BJP’s planning and Saffron intelligentsia that brought them to power, twice. It is a failure and years of bad governance of congress as well. The PR of Narendra Modi has been done in such a manner that now no political party in opposition has the answer to it.
It shouldn’t be understood that I want Muslims to start loving BJP, but what I want to covey is that we should save ourselves from becoming merely the puppet of the Congress-Liberal coalition. The Islamophobia of liberals keeps popping up on multiple occasions like recent demand for the Azan ban. They are comfortable replacing BJP with Congress because of their coalition and they will not shy away from using Muslims as a tool for that. As Sachar Committee suggested 43% of Muslim Women in India drop out before College, Muslims constituted just 3.2% of all officers in the Indian Administrative Service, the Indian Police Service, and the Indian Foreign Service, Muslims even lack behind SCs and STs in terms of education. All this happened during the rule of Congress mostly. The only place where Muslims are in Majority is Tihar Jail, whose govt was there when all this happened?
I have to write this because Muslims do not even offer salat that religiously, how they oppose Modi and BJP. It is not their voices, they are not their concern as such, they are concern about the whole country and opposition. Everything that Muslims does today is pushed by these left-liberals, Muslims are mostly illiterate they have no idea to what they should do, Muslims are used by liberals during protests to push their agenda by putting words in their mouth. CAA/NRC/NPR protests were a fight against the existence of Muslims but liberals made it the fight to protect the Constitution. We forget
that Constitution merely protects our rights, we are born with rights nobody gives them to us.
I have read an article yesterday about how Arvind Kejriwal could be the Narendra Modi of 2024. Kejriwal is the product of Anna Movement which was orchestrated by the Sangh Parivar and planning done at Vivekananda International Foundation. In the coming years, he will present us a model of development, while keeping himself drenched in the anti-muslim waters, we have seen it during Jamat-Corona incident and Delhi violence before that. Mohan Bhagwat during a recent interview clearly said that Hindutva is beyond BJP and Kejriwal during his first interview with Ravish Kumar at his residence said that his fight is against the BJP, not the RSS. There is a possibility that Kejriwal comes up as the new ‘Hindu Hriday Samrat’. Senior Congress leaders from the very start have called Aam Aadmi Party as B team of BJP, but no normal man is that politically far-sighted.
All these things clearly show that there is no stop to Hindutva now and non-Hindutva opposition is too weak to fight them and survive, especially when the likes of Rahul Gandhi are playing on their grounds by going to temples during elections and trying to woo away Hindu votes. The Hindutva intelligentsia has been working tirelessly for the last 100 years and now there is no stopping to them. One possible answer could be the start-Dalit-Muslim coalition, but we have no leader today who can lead this coalition or even put suggestions forward for this particular arrangement. So when there is no stopping to Hindutva, Muslims should focus on asserting their identity, developing leadership among them, and educating themselves instead of becoming merely the puppet of opposition and fueling the fire of Islamophobia.
