“Watershed” is generally described as an imp event that marks the beginning of something new or different. Indian nationstate is often cited as a finest example of a country thriving in its diversity & blah blah but in reality post 47 India was reduced by Nehru to a statist state

In the name of rebuilding India, Nehru cleverly converted the state into a statist state- where soviet style economic planning decided as to who will get to produce what, where and also the prices to sell at; they even decided about who will grow what and where……

Nehruvian statist governance robbed mineral rich states of their progress and committed the crime of century on the states like Bihar and Odisha by something that was known as Freight Equalisation Policy- ostensibly a brainchild of TTK but a Nehruvian project, through n through !

Everytime when politicians of down south or west and even up north pass disparaging remarks on people of Odisha and Bihar, one can’t help but wonder the historical wrong done to them by Nehru and his executioners like TTK…..that besides the point as it is not just abt economics

Bigger fall out of Nehruvian statist governance was in the sphere of socio- religious and social governance. Nehruvian agents centralised everything while building the nation state out of the state that was initially created as a dominion of India (union of india later)….

The entity that suffered due to Nehru’s post 47 cocktail of dominion state, nation state etc was old civilisational entity- Bharat. We suffered physically as a large part was cut but Nehru managed to create a state that indulged in nothing but self hate for its own civilisation!

Irrespective of what one says, first watershed moment in history of India came in 1991 when circumstances forced Nehruvian India to demolish the economic pillar of Nehru’s post 47 statist state…And man who did the honours was a congressman only-he cudnt postpone it any further!

Indian nation-state kept chugging along on the remaining pillars of Nehru's statist state- in socio-religious & civilisational matters. The self-hating curtain built by Nehruvian executioners was so THICK that we even IGNORED ethnic cleansing of Hindus by Ms in 80% Hindu country!

It took Ind 32 years to come to terms with ethnic cleansing of Hs in 80% Hindu India at the hands of terrorists with the support of their own neighbours, their kids-such was the nature of this cleansing that in one case a student facilitated rape of his teacher on sopore bridge

Now that begs a Qn : if #TheKashmirFiles is a watershed moment or it is a consequence of a watershed event that took place few years ago but fruits whereof are visible every now and then. Actually, 2014 victory of @narendramodi was the 2nd watershed moment of our post47 history

Change brought about in 2014 took longer to get registered, it took longer to crystallise and today that change is finally beginning to show results - 2019 win of @narendramodi was the next outcome and now the speed of the change has gained both speed as well as the traction….

Removal of article 370, starting of Shri Ram Temple construction, CAA, the Kashi corridor, #TheKashmirFiles and it’s success despite every effort to make it bomb at box office are all measurable outcome of that watershed event of 2014 victory of PM @narendramodi

UP victory of 2022 is a watershed moment in the history of UP; ditto for Uttarakhand and Goa and Manipur or for that matter even Punjab but when weighed in the context of a larger entity i.e. India, it is an outcome-but UP has the power to expedite the process of change underway

And if you are an astute and dispassionate observer, one can change how quickly India changed within days without us even coming to know of it- especially because we see events in isolation and not in totality. Consider this few events since 10th March 2022

1st and foremost was the victory speech of PM @narendramodi - and ofcourse he thanked women and girls for standing behind solidly - much to discomfiture of @ShekharGupta - but it was this part that holds significance & points to what is in store

If u r a wrong doer, even ur reputation and family won’t be enough to save you -

PMs call for war on corruption need to be seen in conjunction with previous two speech sections - your reputations won’t save you anymore and justice will be delivered right in their dens

Like it is a normal human nature, before u embark on new challenges, your first thought is always about connecting to the source - be it to the land of ur birth or to you family and PM @narendramodi did precisely that next day- visited his state, met his mom and constituents

https://twitter.com/narendramodi/status/1502225604351242240

PM @narendramodi’s every speech in Gujarat is a must follow speech for everyone. He started first by meeting those who lent him strength in Gujarat - party workers; followed by talk for grassroots democracy & talk at the university where he spelt out vision for internal security!

Other than spending time with his mother, PM @narendramodi attended Khel MahaKumbh - either way it is about celebrating the moments with his own source followed by one with his constituents- his first source of the power, he wielded in Gujarat!

Third event was this accidental firing of missile, Indian acknowledgement thereof and this “हर काम देश के नाम” moment. Remember just as in love n hate, there are events in geopolitics also- that take place to give the msg and msg has already been delivered-well n truly- to home

Fourthly and crucially so are two indications about civilisational issues and no PM @narendramodi need not say this verbose. For him, what he does is what matters- so here is one such event- meeting the people behind #TheKashmirFilesmovie - @vivekagnihotri, Pallavi & Abhishek

Secondly was this - very small and minuscule event but important in terms of messaging- idiotic behaviour aimed at maligning civilisation won’t be tolerated anymore

Next big event worth noticing is- it is all happening and the civilisation state that is Bharat, is rising; rising again under @narendramodi

Meanwhile @ShekharGupta ‘s pain keeps increasing, every 6 months…now UP, Ukd, Goa and Manipur has given him pain and the sufferer in him is happily acting as a doctor. Gupta jee,medicine for your pain will be delivered, in time.

Just wait n watch!
