The day America allowed a private company to publicly brand their President as spreader of fake news, the writing was on the wall. I don't care whether it's Trump or Biden or anybody. He is the President of America and that's where the discussion should end.
The position holds a sanctity and respect and empires crumbled just because the chair is not given the respect it deserves. After India thrashed Pakistan badly in 1971 and dismemebered it, an Indian politician used the word Indira is India and India is Indira.
That is the syndrome we need to avoid. Indira is not India. Indira is not India. Indira is the Prime Minister of India and she is the official face of India. Any hatred towards Indira shouldn't become hatred for India.
That is exactly the problem we are seeing - Indira is India Syndrome. Hate Trump the Person, no problem. But hate the President of America? That is the line you should never cross. Same is happening with India - I don't care if India goes to hell if it helps undo Modi.
Who loses ultimately? I will quote two instances. It's upto you to decide whether you want to hurt America or Trump.
1. Churchill in Poland once said He is a Britisher first and Socialist next When he was expected to contradict the stand of a British rabble-rousing Communist
2. When someone glorified the assassination of Indira Gandhi, it was BJP which said we don't support someone who assassinated the Prime Minister of India before even Congress was able to open its mouth.

Mosaic Distinction: Faith is more important than common sense 😇
Now some serious stuff. Three of the most impactful crops these missionary backed imperialists grew in India -
1. Opium to destroy China. British India in 1906 produced more drugs than Columbia and Afghanistan combined at their respective peaks.
2. Indigo leading to widespread famines in Bengal
3. Groundnut for which vast swathes of forests were chopped down because groundnut doesn't grow in shade. Anantapur still sees the devastating effects of that.

When Patel got the news that Junagadh has fallen, Munshi was by his side. He said to Munshi, Now Somnath Can be Built. That is called clarity of thought.
A Christian writes to Gandhi asking how India can spend money on building temples and Gandhi concurs 🤦🏻‍♀️ While Nehru completely opposed building of Somnath Temple, Gandhi wanted it to be funded by Hindu public and Patel wanted state to build it.
Forgot to tell. That Christian fellow said even the exchequer of Junagadh shouldn't fund the temple. But love for Gandhi was more than anything else. When Gandhi asked him to, Patel concurred and said Centre will not fund Somnath reconstruction.

The debate over law and order comes to the forefront yet again. Law and order - both can be maintained with equal zeal. One needs to take precedence over the other. Will that be Order over Law or Law over Order?
In other words, what do governments prefer - looking away the other side when law is broken with impunity in the fear that acting against the offender will lead to large scale rioting on the roads?
Or will the government gear up to uphold the sanctity of law and punish every single one trying to break it? There are many examples. Take the Tablighi Wuhan Wave. Or Bangalore Riots. Or the destruction of Temples in Andhra.
