A trend is taking shape - Bangladesh and Pakistan will present their domestic fundamentalism as a "reaction" to "more communalism" in India
Actual slaughter of the handful of Hindus left there will be justified as retribution against the perceived attacks within India
This will be helped by the narratives being framed by the "moderate" Islamists within India on how the whole Hindu community is now radicalized and the only difference with Nazi Germany is that we do not speak German
The "farmer protests" are a key element as it helps the Islamists, Khalistanis and the foreign media to write how Hindus are so extreme now that they aren't just anti-Muslim but against all minorities
Mildest pushbacks in India will be marketed as the worst thing after Auswitschz
The government has already surrendered aspects of basic governance like adjusting laws, counting citizens etc based on such successful lobbying
Even a dozen people protesting a namaz is now "fascist"
The enemy is very familiar with the Hindu's obsessive desire with "Will accept anything if I can just live in peace and go about my business"
As the temperature increases they are hoping more Hindus will say "we need to do more to maintain our peaceful secular co-existence"
Hindu debate & over-rationalising is all around us
"What was the need for CAA? Why do NRC?"
"It is actually good that no action was taken so far"
"It is a trap. Don't do anything"
All backed by impeccable reasoning. But the common theme is kicking the can down the road
The Hindu ability to explain all the things which can go wrong if any decision is taken is unparalleled. This reflects in how India has run itself and engaged with the world for the last 75 years
Only thing left undebated is the consequence of inaction
Our enemies whether China or Islamists are very familiar with this deep dysfunction in our nation
They haven't really exploited it so far as our Islamist neighbours have their own set of incompetencies and China was biding its time. That is finally changing now.
Minor example of the unique feature of Hindu society which Islamists will use to maximum possible benefit
We see this all around - more so in the elite as their education arms them with the sophistication required to package our surrender as a virtue
Of course there is no comparison between the institution-backed pogrom in Bangladesh to anything in India
But the Hindu mind will forever rationalise "if only we do more, everything will be OK"
A belief so deep that 1000 years of servitude didn't alter it
Kashmir's ethnic cleansing of Hindus continues. We will waste tremendous amount of time asking why are liberals and international media quiet about this
The deeper and more uncomfortable question is why don't we see the ordinary Hindu incensed?
We want peace at any price. A dozen Hindus getting executed in Kashmir doesn't change that
Forget anger, we do not even have the ability to officially say Hindus are being targeted for their religion. Instead we will call the victims "non-locals" to imply somehow its their fault

"Within hours or days of their arrival, the Afghan-refugee grapevine educates newcomers as to the ins and outs of navigating the country: what offices to go to and what to say when you get there, where to apply for additional aid, where to find free housing"
Why are the Afghan refugees doing this - terrifying but all too familiar reason
BJP wins a state election - then goes around methodically targeting the opposition
People get murdered all around, women get gangraped. Evidence begins to emerge that particularly Muslim women are being targeted
Now imagine the resulting domestic AND international narrative. The daily headlines, the op-eds abroad, the protests in front of our embassies, the petitions, the short-films, the Insta posts.
Antony Blinken would only talk about this with Jaishankar
Mani Shankar Aiyer has just begun a room on clubhouse to discuss how Rajiv Gandhi built digital India. Please join and record for use in 2024. Pretty sure he will end up insulting all kinds of people
Sam Pitroda has also joined. He is speaking very slowly. As if every word is being first approved by 10 JP first
Jai ram Ramesh has now joined. Jai ram has no profile picture. Is he losing his famous hair?
Thrilling conversation on Clubhouse right now - some disco Khalistanis from America alongside some desi Woko Haram trying very very hard to subtly justify the Hindu deaths in the Delhi riots
An American lady EXTREMELY confidently claiming BJP will lose Maharastra if elections are held today. Not sure about Bengal
A lovely lady from Tamil Nadu confidently claims - Dalits are not Hindus. Her argument slightly diluted by the 5 mins she took to pronounce Hindutva
