Monotheism, RSS taking over BJP, and Crisis in BJP in Karnataka

Prologue:

I would comment on each the above points independently, but let me begin by giving my one line comment on these.

And those with weaker hearts and/or those who have delicate sensibilities, please excuse me for my explicit comments.

One Liner:

Each point epitomises, in a summary manner; thoughts, words, and actions of a Dumb Fuck, hereafter abbreviated as DF, or df.

Details:

1. On the Article on Monotheism

Fallacy:

The article is another attempt to understand Islam and Islamic point of view, with an aim to accommodating them.

Fact:

Rather than beating about the bush, we must unambiguously understand that Islam is incompatible with non-Islam, and therefore with us. Islam is non-reformable, always at WAR with others, and is mercilessly no-holds-barred including deception against non-Islamic faiths. So we rather be on our guard.

2. On RSS Taking over BJP

Fallacy:

BJP has swerved a lot from its lofty ideals while RSS, and Sangh Parivar have ideological clarity and depth to set the BJP right.

Fact:

BJP and its mentor RSS (and its family Sangh-Parivar) both have almost always been and are a buch of DFs. Time and again, they repeat the same mistakes. They have no ideological clarity, intellectual depth, or emotional understanding of the matter. They cheated people on Ram-Janmabhoomi in their hurry to form a government. Later, pig-headed leaders like Mr. Pramod Mahajan (in 2004) provided the ill-fated direction to the BJP, while Sushma Swaraj, and Arun Jaitley (in 2009) were busy enacting a Congress-like-high-command and installing L K Advani in the throne of a Sonia-of-BJP.

Indian politicians have Jawahar-meme in them, and therefore political parties have the congress-meme. Each politician is trying to become a Gandhi-Nehru of his constituency/region. And they are always sure that they have all the answers even before they even know the questions, an unmistakable symptom of a DF. Jawahar indeed was a DF, and so are his memetic clones. This is true across all political parties. Absence of fundamental and basic ingredients like intra-party democracy, a functional disagreement handling mechanism, a healthy platform to redress dissent ; all of these are symptoms of a sick political creed. Examples galore. YSR, Chandrababu Naidu in Andhra; Bal Thakery, Raj Thakery in Maharashtra, Vasundhara Raje in Rajasthan, etc., the list is almost endless.

BJP started out with claims of offering a genuinely different alternative. They may claim that they had (more so during Jansangh days) genuinely good intentions too. But we must be aware that good intentions are only a beginning, and hence they alone are not enough. But the speed with which they have replicated a congress within them is astonishing.

It is worth mentioning that an erstwhile leader of BJP (someone who was called 'the windbag' by the inimitable Sitaram Goel) took great pride in the fact that in his younger days he used to be compared with the great Jawahar.

3. On the Crisis in BJP in Karnataka

Fallacy:

B S Yeddyurappa is an honest innocent man who has been wronged by dissidence, and intra party subterfuge.

Fact:

While those at the helm of SP (both) are intellectually negligible, their state-leadership is comfortably ensconced in unmanliness. BSY wept in front of the mainstream media (MSM) like a pussy. He does not deserve any sympathy. He betrays pussillanimity, and yet seeks to be a leader! Even Baligar and Shobha would be happier if he was manly.

Suggestions:


1. We must be extremely alert against any efforts to portray Islam in a sanitized way. Islam is a sick ideology with a psychopath, mass-murderer, paedophile as its founder and eternal role-model for its followers. Its history is a story in deception and violence. Don't be deceived.

2. We, the admirers and followers of the Sanatana Dharma, need to found new political parties. We need to shift the platform of political debate, rather than eternally conceding ground to our adversaries in the name of tolerance and non-violence. We need to diligently do our home work and chalk out a lucid framework in which we can work together, where we can dissent, and also have a reasonable mechanism to redress dissent and our disagreements.

3. Karnataka situation is precariously poised and, I am afraid, doomed. After providing some more tamasha on TV, both Yeddys and Reddys will bid adieu to people and hold on to their money. May be elections again! We the people have to hold ourselves up and proceed. It is high time that we realize that politics is too serious a work to be left for Yeddys, Reddys, Gowdas, Swamys, Siddus, Prakashs etc. Don't hesitate to ask those among your friends and relatives, who promise competent performance, to contest elections, and deliver what the people vote them for, i.e. good governance. And remember, lesser government is good governance. Big government is almost always bad government. Let us move towards Freedom and Responsibility.


Epilogue:

Please do express your opinions freely. If you found what I have written to be outrageous, well that was my intention. Hindus in India have, unfortunately, become so docile and submissive, that they need a waking up. Once they are awake, I am sure they will do the needful. They have been a great civilization, and they will surely be one.

  1. Everything is ok. Except dilemma about DF abbreviation! Not that it can not be told - but about it's appropriateness in our writings! Will such tactics provide an escape route to those who do not want to get provoked!

  3. Incompleteness of fallacies

    Fallacy 1: The article is another attempt to understand Islam and Islamic point of view, with an aim to accommodating them.

    Analysis: It is an attempt to understand (or explain) Islam. There are some observations. But it is not sufficient to conclude about the aims.

    Fallacy 2: BJP has swerved a lot from its lofty ideals while RSS, and Sangh Parivar have ideological clarity and depth to set the BJP right.

    Analysis: BJP needs correction. And SP should take it up. SP is better than BJP and this is a necessary condition.

    Fallacy 3: B S Yeddyurappa is an honest innocent man who has been wronged by dissidence, and intra party subterfuge

    Analysis: BSY may not be honest and innocent. But atleast he has faced election. Dissidents may have valid reasons. But they are increasing the role of money in politics.

    0. Thanks for your comments.

    1. Anonymous wrote:" ... There are some observations. But it is not sufficient to conclude about the aims."

    Sam replies: Would you agree if the conclusion about the aims was correct? Let me ask you a rhetorical question. How many writings have you seen where authors have attempted to understand Islam without the said aims? How many authors mention a caveat in such of their writings that they do notintend to accommodate? Whereas, there are zillions of articles who, on the face of it, appear to be harmless efforts to understand Islam, and are then followed by apologetics in their sequels. If you are interested, we can take this up in a separate thread.

    Therefore, in a statistical sense the assumption regarding the conclusion is spot on. And, it is my intention to caution people about any such hidden plausibilities. It is better to be cautious than to be sorry.

    Secondly, what about your agreement, disagreement about the conclusions/suggestions of this article? Please be forthcoming on that. And please feel free to add to them as well.

    2. Anonymous wrote:"... SP is better than BJP and this is a necessary condition.

    Sam replies: Do you have any tangible demonstration of that? SP, in my opinion, has a lot of devoted people working as cadres. They are brave, devoted, disciplined, patriotic, self-sacrificing and all of that. But they still are DFs. They are taught by their leadership to remain DFs. One may have lots of respect for the other qualities of the SP folowers, but until they correct this critical deficiency, all the other positive qualities go in vain. So the bottom-line is: SP may be better in whatever sense, but it is DF all the same.

    3. Anonymous wrote:"...BSY may not be honest and innocent. But atleast he has faced election. Dissidents may have valid reasons. But they are increasing the role of money in politics."

    Sam replies: Does facing an election justify being a DF? In that case, I understand you would protest against I calling Jawahar a DF! He faced and won so many elections, even the one after losing a war. It is a pity, and a mockery of democracy in India, that DFs survive at the helm, for so long! Reddys may be worse DFs than Yeddys, I agree. But, as I said earlier, less DF or more DF, they all are indeed DFs.

    4. Sam continues: Since you have spent some valuable time in commenting on what I wrote, may I request you that you also write what you feel are the corrective actions that we as a society need to take? I love to criticize, let us criticize to the best of our abilities, but let us not stop at that. Let us propose a solution, and let us attempt to build an alternative. Let us do our bit.

  6. Sam continues further: Thanks to KEMS, shrivathsa, and Sharmila too. Please do add your bits and enlighten me on the subject.

    Let us also start talking about building alternatives.

  7. Typical prescription on how to go about handling an intolerant is
    - Analyse and understand. Accommodate otherwise counter.

    But when the analysis does not end, or if there is lack of understanding, or if accommodation is not possible AND if unable to counter - what should be done?

    Device another method ( or choose one of the known methods) to counter and try it out!

    What are the known methods of countering?

    Educate others (victims) and isolate the trouble makers.

  8. Sam writes: Your writing seems above my pay-cheque.

    On one hand I fail to understand

    1. Why on earth should one want to accommodate an intolerant?

    And on the other

    2. Devising other methods could possibly often be an OK strategy with some ordinary maladies. But Islam is another ball-game altogether. Can we think of one instance where tolerance and/or accommodation has worked with regards to Islam? The answer is plain and simple no.

    3. Hence the question is, what should be the content of our education?

    In my opinion, the first part of the education is to make our people understand very very clearly that:

    a. Islam is a mortal threat to our civilization.

    b. We can not assimilate Islam.

    c. We need to act to safeguard ourselves, our culture, our nation.

    I believe that there are some people who understand this well, and their numbers must grow. And we must freely and frankly state and discuss these facts.

    Moreover, while we are educating people about these, we must simultaneously work on devising a strategy to safeguard ourselves. That, in my opinion, would be the second part of the education.

    It is obvious that Secularism of the Communists and the third-(rate) front, Gandhianism of the Congress, Sarva Dharma Sambhava of the BJP(SP) will not work. These are express-ways to national suicide.

    But we ought to find something out that will work. That is the challenge before us.

    Please suggest your refinements.
