They want to focus on "trads" because:
1)They need an excuse for increasing censorship on social media
2)They need an excuse for increasing mass surveillance on domestic turf
3)They need an excuse for passing new laws where they can exercise powers without court warrants, RTI etc and other such accountability measures.
4)They cant do it in the name of islamists and communists because that will draw the ire of foreign powers who support these groups, so they are doing it in the name of "domestic hate groups" because nobody gives a shit if you oppress your own people, it's always about minorities
For the libtards and raitas who are celebrating this quick response that the state has taken against "trads":
The so called "trads" here are just being used to set a precedent. Once the precedent is set, eventually they will come for you too when the inconvenience arises.

Golly! Would you look at the time? It’s thread ‘o’ clock already!
Contrary to what you might have been taught, "Divide and Rule" is fake and gay, it doesn't work. It's psuedo-realpolitiks. It's a misunderstanding at best, or deliberately deceptive political education at worst.
According to mainstream narrative of "divide n rule", conflicts arises among different groups when an outside power convinces them that they are diff^n from each other (as if they didnt know already) ++

Thread- So someone is coming with an animated movie on Ambedkar. and for some reason, Savarkar is standing side by side with him, lmao. Wonder whose electoral bond money was invested in this film. (1/21)
Foreign university prestige is a psy-op.
if angrez want to prop you up as an intellectual, they will hand you farzi degrees from their prestigious institutions in order to lend weight to your opinions.

(2/21)
A common savarna outcry is that Americans are developed because american institutions are meritocratic, but nobody is going to take them seriously because as it turns out, american institutions are not as meritocratic as they think:

Here is a little known secret most people dont know (or do not remember) :

Agniveer, the organization which is known for being biggest bootlicker of BJP today, actually used to be an anti-BJP organization. Image
Back in the day they used to argue in favor of NOTA, while the trads and normies used to jokingly call them NOTAveers for this stance.
Arya Samaaj and its affiliates were staunch anti-BJPian before 2014.
Try to find out about Swami Agnivesh and his stances
It's after modi victory that slowly they started having their intellectual orgies with sanghies.
But this Agniveers being NOTAveers thing is something most e-TrAdS will not tell you because this was an embarrassing phase of their life when they used to think of modi as chad-hindu

Thread-o-clock:
Fallacies and Dangers of Hindu Deception
Basic problem of modern day hinduism is that as it exists today, hinduism has been reduced to just a set of iconography, alone. icons with no intact meaning. Beliefs with no material consequences.
You know every time someone tries to criticize anything by modi govt, somebody draws up the chanakya-neeti comparison to modi-shah, and when they do that, they are invoking an authority of a hindu figure that almost every hindu deems respectable, but hardly decipherable.

Power of that analogy is that chanakya as an icon can be used to justify and rationalize almost anything under the excuse of pragmatism. Image
Because hinduism has been reduced to mere iconography alone. The simple minded people follow that iconography alone, not any ideals. And chanakya is the icon of "Well intentioned pragmatism" in popular hindu discourse.
To make matters worse, a lot of elite hindus are aware of this vulnerability of common hindus and they exploit it to the fullest for their political or commercial ends.
They appeal to chanakyan philosophy in order to justify any kind of unscrupulous behavior. Image

I will not rule it out as impossible, but i would like to know primary sources here.
It seems a lot of this writer's research here is comprised of interviews and anecdotes.
A lot of sanghies will brush this off as biased British propaganda, but that makes no sense. (Btw stop dismissing everything uncomfortable as british conspiracy, it may be true at times, but wanton misuse of the excuse is just a proof of your own intellectual laziness)
Why would brits feel need to propagandize against RSS in 1970s ? india is already independent at this point, and RSS is not even an electoral threat at this point, forget about it being a geopolitical threat to western imperialism.
