When I lost some of my friends to hate spewing RW, I asked, are they okay to loose friends? Their answer often was - it is okay, we are doing it for the betterment, development, progress & Hindu pride. I knew then that they have been radicalised, manipulated by lies, deceit 1/
They had refused to see RW lies then & many still do not but ask yourself this what have you gained in last 7 years? My conservative guess is Zero, Zilch. What have you lost? Friends, respect, love, relations but more importantly, what the nation has lost is irreplaceable. 2/
How has our nation become better when gloriously diverse yet united India has been divided in just 7 years for the first time post independence on the lines of religion, caste, region, language and even food habits and clothes they wear. Is this what you'll call betterment? 3/
After long struggle, our economy had reached on top of global pyramid. 3rd largest during UPA, few years away from being top economic superpower. Today, our economy lies in tatters & that was prior to Covid. Presently, even a much smaller nation Bangladesh has over taken us. 4/
Our Small Business owners were at the heart of The India success story during UPA, generating employment for millions across various sectors. In 7 yrs, many SMEs, MSMEs have been shut or destroyed by flawed tax regime, unfavourable biz policies. Unemployment is at 40 yr high. 5/
Ask yourself Who is happy? Not our farmers, not our tribals, not our doctors, not the artists, not our intellectuals, not our poor, not our underprivileged. So many sections of our society have been demonised in last 7 years that the list is never ending. To what end? Nothing. 6/
Majority of religious Hindus were always secure, safe, peaceful community but in last 7 years, incidents by some politicised groups shamed all Hindus & Hinduism. In the name of Hindu pride, these groups embraced & exhibited worst instead of our best. Does this make you proud?
7 years ago, we were a young nation with dreams, hope, passion, prosperity, scientific temper, poised to be a truly developed liberated progressive country. Today, we are a regressive orthodox society grappling with multiple issues, failing on all fronts. Is this nationalism? 8/
Lastly and above all, what good will it achieve by winning elections or power if you can't win hearts and minds of those you wish to Govern, lead? A nation is not just it's land. It is also and more so, its people but today, their hearts, lives, dreams are broken. Introspect /End
