Naren­dra Modi re­minds you of Hitler and Mus­solini. His party -the Bharatiya Janta Party is hell-bent on de­stroy­ing the moral and po­lit­i­cal fab­ric of In­dia spread­ing hate and fear, with the world watch­ing for pe­cu­niary rea­sons and the es­tab­lished Sikh lead­er­ship shame­lessly fol­low­ing this clearly anti-Sikh party and phi­los­o­phy.

The op­por­tunis­tic use of the mon­u­men­tal 1984 Sikh geno­cide, as ca­sual elec­tion­eer­ing rhetoric and taunt­ing be­tween In­di­a’s lead politi­cians, with­out any sub­stan­tive ac­tion or con­cern for the af­fected vic­tims much less pre­vent­ing the same hate re­oc­cur­ring; is both de­mean­ing and dis­gust­ing and fur­ther typ­i­fies the na­ture of In­di­a’s po­lit­i­cal minds at the top level. It serves to re­mind us Sikhs and Pan­jaabis, of our lack of worth and mar­gin­al­ity within the whole so­cio-po­lit­i­cal land­scape of what is pro­jected as ‘In­dia’.

In­dia is a po­lit­i­cal and ter­ri­to­r­ial, over-sized su­per­struc­ture, led and con­trolled by a pu­tre­fy­ing po­lit­i­cal class, which seeks to pro­ject ‘In­di­an’ and ‘Hin­du’ pa­tri­o­tism as its cen­tral, defin­ing theme. Over its 70-years, it has re­vealed and demon­strated it­self through its re­peat ac­tions as a cen­tral­is­ing au­thor­i­tar­ian state and its ac­com­pa­ny­ing so­cial, re­li­gious and po­lit­i­cal be­hav­iour; to be an im­pos­ing and suf­fo­cat­ing mon­ster, which alien­ates, dis­af­fects and di­min­ishes its di­verse so­cial, eth­nic and na­tional peo­ples. ‘In­dia’ is not the sum to­tal of its di­verse con­stituent com­mu­ni­ties and small na­tions. ‘In­dia’ stands over and above them. It looks down on them, and ex­pects sub­mis­sion and obe­di­ence -IN­DI­AN­ISM!

The siz­zling ban­ter about the 1984 crime against hu­man­ity (still un­ad­dressed by a state which per­pe­trated it); is a de­mon­stra­tion of this rot­ten dis­ease of IN­DI­AN­ISM! The en­tire po­lit­i­cal class, politi­cians and po­lit­i­cal op­er­a­tives  (that rep­re­sent the In­dian po­lit­i­cal net­work) that live and breathe in the pu­tre­fy­ing swamp of In­dian po­lit­i­cal, so­cial, eco­nomic and re­li­gious life; are men­tally con­di­tioned to play to the no­to­ri­ous agenda of ‘In­dia is great’, ‘Jai Hind’, kill and de­stroy all anti-In­dia dis­sent, kill the ‘sep­a­ratists’!

The emer­gence of the Bharatiya Janta Party -BJP, with its Hitler-like ra­bid and bel­liger­ent Modi (Au­rangzeb re­born, as a Ma­ha­rash­tra leader, has ap­pro­pri­ately la­belled him), and the great risk that it will win the of­fice once more now; has re­vealed en­tirely the core pur­pose and sub­stance of the In­di­an­is­tic phe­nom­ena.  ma­chine.

‘Sec­u­lar In­dia’ was al­ways a su­prema­cist, cen­tral­ist, au­thor­i­tar­ian Hindu cen­tric su­per-state in wait­ing! The cap­ture of power by the overtly Hindu su­prema­cist BJP, by hook or crook, was a nat­ural prod­uct of in­trin­sic Hin­duis­tic en­er­gies bay­ing for the power that they so longed for. The Uni­tar­ian, mega state of ‘In­dia’ based on ‘ma­jori­tar­i­an­ism’, has pro­vided the Hindu elite with the clear cen­tral­ist po­lit­i­cal and ter­ri­to­r­ial struc­ture to im­pose their su­prema­cist dream.

The Sikh lead­ers toe­ing this line is a sheer an­tithe­sis of every­thing that Sikhs and Sikhism stand for. The Sikhs in Pun­jab and Delhi have to weed them out of the po­lit­i­cal scene to pro­tect their phi­los­o­phy and des­tiny.

In­di­vid­ual Sikh, Mus­lim, Dalit col­lab­o­ra­tors to this Hindu-In­dian power ma­chine, are en­tirely nor­mal and ex­pected. The power re­la­tion­ship is such, in all parts of the world, and through­out his­tory.

The whole In­dian state and its gi­gan­tic ma­chin­ery and mech­a­nisms is a fas­cist, in­tol­er­ant, un­de­mo­c­ra­tic mega-struc­ture, for Hindu su­premacy, elit­ism, wherein even the hap­less, pow­er­less ‘low-caste’ Hin­dus are vic­tims along with the non-Hindu peo­ples and na­tions locked into this mam­moth po­lit­i­cal struc­ture called ‘In­dia’.

In­di­an­ism is the blind, pro­fuse, ra­bid, bel­liger­ent pro­jec­tion of In­dia as the sole, sin­gle. su­per­im­pos­ing agenda, us­ing all sym­bol­ism of Hindu re­ju­ve­na­tion, Hindu em­pow­er­ment, Hindu lib­er­a­tion, etc, as its cen­tral rhetoric and sym­bol­ism. Hindu-dom and Hin­dutva are a crude ter­ri­to­r­ial and po­lit­i­cal ex­pres­sion -hol­low, de­fec­tive and full of holes.

Dis­as­trously, the in­ter­na­tional com­mu­nity, the ‘en­light­ened’ West and even the United Na­tions are so en­am­oured of this gar­gan­tuan In­dia, that they vir­tu­ally fail to see the down­side in this vast sub-con­ti­nent and hang on to the ‘peace­ful’ tag of Gandhi. Such a fal­la­cious un­der­stand­ing is purely based on eco­nomic and mar­ket con­sid­er­a­tions as they turn a blind eye to state re­pres­sion against na­tion­al­i­ties, re­gional iden­ti­ties, the ques­tion­ing me­dia and al­most every­body else who raises a ban­ner of dis­si­dence.

Mean­while, the au­then­tic na­tions, peo­ples and so­ci­eties of South Asia are forced to en­dure an ever more op­pres­sive sys­tem of life un­der the all-mighty In­dia.

For how long!
