1/ With so many things going wrong for Modi Government, how come no revolution has taken place against this government?
One would have imagined that with so many things going wrong against the Modi Government a revolution would have taken place and this government would have
2/ been thrown out either by peaceful protest or through violent means. But this has not happened.
What are the reasons for this?
One of the prime reason would be Modi governments hold on the media, both mainstream and social. It has managed to tell a different story and has
3/ managed to compromise the mainstream media through money corruption. It has almost bought the mainstream media via the support of those industrialist who benefit from the government. It is not by chance that almost everything in India is being bought by either Ambani or
4/ Adani. The other industrialists are seeing these juicy deals going the other way but can do little to benefit from the situation. Ambani and Adani are so much favored that even established companies running businesses are being coerced into selling their stakes or face
5/ institutional action, for example take the case of stake sale of CSIA in Mumbai where GVK was cornered to sell 74% of its stake to Adani.
Now Adani is poised to buy New Delhi Railway Station. There are no other buyers it seems and even if there are, nobody wants to cross
6/ swords with Ambani or Adani lest their own evil empire comes under threat. Thus even before a government asset is sold, it becomes a one horse race. This helps the buyer as other buyers are at best reluctant bidders, there only to fulfill the requirement of three bidders such
7/ as to throw mud in the eyes of the citizens of the country.
It is not that others are not getting contracts. Tata's getting a contract for rebuilding the new parliament building against L&T is an example. So a subterfuge is also going on at the same time to show that it is
8/ not just Ambani or Adani who are getting all the contracts. Some breadcrumbs are being thrown at other industrialists too keeping them quiet.
So with media and businessmen taken care of, there is no news that shows the government in bad light. All such news is being
9/ filtered. Anyone who steps out of the line is attacked. See how NDTV has been on the receiving end of government's stick.
Then there is the civil society. It is impotent. It can hardly mount a revolution.
Same can be said about the opposition party's whose closets are
10/ filled with corruption skeletons and they dare not mount an open attack on the government.
Then there is fear and mistrust. Within the government, the people who can do some damage are living in fear. See what happened to B.K. Bansal and his family. The CBI, RAW, ED,
11/ Income Tax, etc. are dogs that can be unleashed on anyone who steps out of the line. And people within these organizations too can't mount a revolution because they are in fear themselves and don't know who to trust among their colleagues. There will be enough rats who will
12/ take the prized information of an attack on the government and score brownie points and further their own careers. Modi does not inspire any confidence in anyone and is vindictive and publicly so, therefore no bureaucrat will rise against him.
Then there are people within
13/ BJP and RSS who would love to see the back of Modi and Shah but they too have been compromised through skeletons in their cupboards and CD's which have been created to keep them in check.
Which brings us to the Defense Forces and the Judiciary. Once again both of these have
14/ been heavily compromised as is evident from the rise of V.K. Singh and the episode with Ranjan Gogoi.
That leaves us with the last hope, the students of India. They are our best bet. They are unattached, have little care, are widely distributed, have strong networks, are a
15/ force by themselves and are in the most distressing situation as government closes employment avenues and privatizes organizations.
The youth can bring about a revolution. We have to support them in any which way possible. They have already started a movement, on Modi's
16/ birthday, finding focus on joblessness. The lack of jobs and the reduction of avenues can be a tinder box for this government. And the beauty is that it does not have a solution to this problem. That is because it is actively destroying jobs and the economic conditions are
17/ anyway destroying job opportunities not only in India but across the world. The world, which had become outsourced, is now becoming in sourced.
Therefore, we need to support the youth as they are the only ones who can bring about a revolution. It may even be a violent one
18/ because this government has made a peaceful revolution impossible. It does not listen, it is brutal in suppressing dissent and treats any one who crosses them as enemy of the state and is quickly branded as an anti-national. The government does not even address the press or
19/ have an open press conference. It uses Godi Media (what mainstream media has popularly come to be known) and diversions to keep the citizens engaged while it does its dirty work of selling the country for its own and the benefit of its crony few.
It is now left to the
20/ elders to give necessary leadership to the youth of the country. Political party's have failed us, thus it is better that individual leaders come forth and lead the charge.
