Indian Nazi

We thought that Nazi ideology ended with Adolf Hitler. We were wrong. And its not only in Europe, but almost everywhere in world. Everyday we see leaders popping up from nowhere, citing differences based on race as reason for superioroty of the majority and come out sucessful in doing so. Being an Indian by birth, it was most important for me to understand this phenomenon in India.

Nazi ideology is encashed by politicians of all political parties here. Congress did that during 83 massacre of Sikhs, communists in Nandigram and BJP in Gujarat Riots. They create a volatile atmosphere of mistrust amongst residents and then all they have to do is to show a spark. Booom.

Most popular form of difference is religion. Its most popular media to fool a human. Why? Because it fills up the vaccum in thier life to such an extent that it becomes thier identity. All you have to do is encash that follishness by inducing fear. Gujarat riots are most recent examples of this act. But history is filled up with these examples. If one starts counting them, one could easily find events of "historical values" for RSS magazine and who knows, it may find its way to school textbooks soon.

The funny aspect of human evolution is that they learn to adapt to environment but cling to irrationality anyway. Rioters in any modern society are no different than killers of past. Masks changed. Labels changed. Irrationality remained same. And it retains the same strength as before. Irrationality has ruled and will rule the world.

Lets be more specific. Lets concentrate on riots in Gujarat which are recently discussed in Indian news paper after Chief minister Modi used them as an advertisement campaingn to encash mass stupidity to gain next term. Indianised Nazi ideology came in the form of fundamental hindtva which proved to be a sucessful weapon to come and stay in power in India's most developing state. Ruling party mobalised government police to secure thier agenda of making a history in state sponsored massacre as a token of love for Hinduism. Government troops ensured that maximum casulities (maximum score in terms of Hindu fundamentalsits) to minority community in the name of revenge. Revenge. Most popular means of inducing rage and directing it to inflict selective damage. And it worked well. For many days, Gujarat convered to Auschwitz concentration camp. The difference was that this time it was quick death. It was swift, organised and efficient way of exterminating maximum number of so-called enemies. All prisoners were alike. No difference was observed with respect to men, women and children. All were enemies. All were traitors. All were muslims. They say that muslims do the same when they get a chance. Its just the matter of chance.

Whats was the result in the end. Modi got pat at back by "his community". Got selected for the next term. And now he advertises the same to retain that position.

An atmosphere of hatred has been induced in the land of Gandhi. Modi sucessfully killed Gandhi and surprisingly got a big round of applause.

Why is he sucessful? Well, why not! He encashes the most useful political weapon: Hatred. It never fails. He divide and rule. This can be done easily in India. Its the only way to rule them consistently. Poeple have multiple fake identities. They divide themself based on race, religion, caste, subcaste sucessively. The sum total identity is so very confused and so volatile that they can be fooled anytime by anybody. What about those who dont support this ideology? They are the true minority. They die striking against reservations. The die at borders defending the nation. They die in silence.


Will this ever end? We all hope so. But we dont do anything. Hence it will not.

You said it very well, Sandeep. I think the so-called secularist patries are equally responsible to the growth of support to these fundamentalist thoughts. They are playing dirty vote-bank politics always on the other side. That makes more turn towards such violent activities. Recent developments prove that for these people, Gujarat is just another topic to encash on. That was evident from INC's initial response to the 'Gujarat sting operations' by Tehelka this time.
