This war that we are all part of whether we like it or not is the existential battle between those who consider India existed before 1947 and those who think it didn’t. If you think carefully KP Exodus, CAA, Ramjanambhoomi dispute and everything else is a result of this question
For 70 odd years Indian children have been taught there was no India before British put ‘us’ together. Think why this was such an important project for leftists. If there is no civilizational connect between Kashmir and Coimbatore, we the unwashed masses will always be fighting.
Who benefits when Indians have no civilizational memory, consider themselves a new conglomeration put together by flimsy thread of one constitution? ( till 370 was abrogated there was not even one constitution) Think about it
When I say the prayer to Lord Shiva that my grandmother chants is the same as the priest chanting in Chidambaram temple, this leftist project is smashed to pieces. It is an uphill battle. We have only been fighting 7 decades. It will take centuries.
Bollywood actor who said what he said is a small symptom of the the much larger web we are caught in. It is a joke to even begin correcting him. Our battles are elsewhere
This battle is not between majority and minority. This battle is not between RW and LW ( useless terms in indian context anyway). This battle is not between BJP and Congress. This battle is between those who consider India a unbroken living civilization and those who don’t.
