1. 44 lives taken in one go.Let that sink in.44 precious lives who were defending Bharat regardless of which community or caste they belonged to.They died protecting d idea of Bharat,not d Lutyens idea of India. Why is this important? How is this relevant? #PulwamaAttack
2. No matter how much d so-called liberals and d aman ki asha idiots try & tell you that this is all political and has nothing to do with religion,each bomb blast proves otherwise.The test is not whether Muslims too are killed in the blasts.The test is what drives the terrorist.
3. Pakistan is not a country,it is a mindset & its existence is not limited to d territory of Pakistan. Whosoever,regardless of his/her faith,believes tht d very idea of Muslims living in a non-Muslim majority country is oppressive for Muslims,subscribes to d Pakistani mindset.
4. The very foundational impulse of the idea of Pakistan was and remains that Muslims should not and cannot accept living in a Hindu-majority India under what they saw as Hindu Rule. Dr. Ambedkar makes this abundantly clear in his book Pakistan or the Partition of India.
5.The Pakistani mindset manifests in several ways.If d treatment tht is meted out to Hindus in Pakistan is mirrored outside Pakistan,then regardless of geography,it is d Pakistani mindset at work since it is uncomfortable with d current demographic equation & wants to alter it.
6. When Asiya Andrabi slaughters a cow as a statement against the Indian State, she is not making a statement against the Lutyens idea of India, but is making a statement against the idea of Bharat to defend which the 44 #CRPFJawans laid down their lives.
7. To the Pakistani mindset, the Indian Muslim who subscribes to Bharat's civilizational values and is proud of its heritage and sees an invader/bigot in a Babur, Aurangazeb or Tipu Sultan, is either a mushriq or a munafiq and deserves the same treatment as an infidel or worse.
8. The Lutyens idea of India is perhaps closer to d Pakistani mindset because neither could digest someone like Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam who was equally at home with d Bhagavad Gita as he was with d Quran. Both maligned him during his stint as Bharat's Missile Man.
9. Anyone who uses secularism to undermine Bharat's civilizational values and identity under d pretext of protecting minority rights & interests is promoting the Pakistani mindset and sowing the seeds for a troubling and troubled future. It is important to understand this nexus.
10. The Pakistani mindset has greater clarity on d idea of Bharat than d muddled,addled,befuddled and elitist minds which subscribe to d Lutyens idea of India. Watch debates on Pakistani channels. They do use "Endia" to refer to India, but they use "Bharat" more often than us.
11. Pakistan sees itself as d successor state of every Muslim invader of India.Even in pop culture, in movies like Khuda Kay Liye which was supposed to b a movie about peace,Shaan Shahid's character Mansoor proudly tells his American girlfriend that "We ruled India for 800 years“
12. There r many who live outside Pak bt subscribe to d same idea-"V lorded over Bharat for 800 years & v'll take it bak thru whichever means possible".Whosoever sees himself/herself in d same mould as Pakistan i.e a successor & torch bearer of tht ideology,isn't our well wisher.
13. So in a way, this is a tussle between two mindsets, and this divide goes beyond faith. The confused Hindu who subscribes to this mindset too falls in the same basket because knowingly or unwittingly he is aiding #BreakingIndia forces.
14. Perhaps the way to address that mindset in Pakistan and outside Pakistan is by making an example out of Pakistan. If Pakistan is the successor state of every Muslim invader of India, then that successor state must cease to exist in every possible way.
15. The Pakistani mindset,that perceived sense of theological & racial superiority which is deeply ingrained in it,must be shattered in every possible way for good.The way to do tht is to completely emasculate Pakistan & take away it ability 2 maintain an Army or nuclear weapons.
16. No state in India’s vicinity which suffers from d Pakistani mindset must possess nuclear weapons or d will to use force against India overtly or covertly.India shud take a leaf out of d Chinese playbook & prove it can go strategically crazy to teach a lesson.
17. Only when India deals with Pakistan ruthlessly,it can address d Pakistani mindset wherever it exists & can focus on preparing for d real long-term challenge-China. Pakistan must become India's training ground in finishing a state whose very founding spirit is anti-Bharat.
18. Of course Pakistan depends on d all-weather friendship of China & will count on its support against any Indian action.This only means India must start preparing for China & think of Pakistan as a pitstop which must be firmly dealt with on d way to seeking parity with China.
19. For me India is Bharat and Bharat is India. So I will use it interchangeably. And that's what Article 1 of the Constitution says. So this is for those "Constitutional patriots" who use the Constitution to undermine the idea of Bharat to foist on us the Lutyens idea of India.
20. The Indian State must ensure that no mercantile interest compromises its ability to protect the idea & borders of Bharat.If it means,coming down heavily on those entities which are comfortable importing cheaper equipment which compromises national security,so be it.
21. Bottom line - Only that Party which is capable of understanding Bharat's civilizational values & has d vision and d will to act on it must be elected to power in 2019 because this issue is existential and civilizational. It goes beyond all d usual rabble.
22. The elections of 2019 cannot be contested on mundane lines. Rozgaar, Roti, Kapda, Makaan, Sadak, Bijli and Paani are absolutely important and there is no denying that. But without Bharat, none of these is possible. The existence of Bharat is the cardinal condition precedent.
23. Only those who can protect Bharat must govern (not Rule) Bharat.
24.Finally,d 44 bravehearts who laid down their lives for Bharat, regardless of their faith,are not "shaheeds" because they did not die fighting for Islam.They did not attain Shahadat.They died fighting for Bharat & the idea of Bharat. Therefore,they attained Veergati. Om Shanti.
