The only thing that Hindu Rashtra offers it's Hindu subject is - the circus of minority suffering. Modi model knew a formal ammendment would be struck down. So they simply rule it as if India is a Hindu Rashtra without declaring it.
But How?
Dr Ambedkar explained it.
Stay.🧵1/7

The wise & farsighted man Dr Babasaheb in his Historical speech on 04 Nov 1948 warned the Constituent Assembly that -

A democracy doesn’t perish from external attacks, but when even a few within stop believing in its constitutional morality & spirit and cease to act by it. 2/7

He explained the way a country's administration must match the spirit & Constitutional morality.

Insisted that if have a democratic Constitution, the actual working Govt, bureaucracy, institutions & officials must also behave democratically. Are they behaving so today? 3/7

Sharing a story u probably never heard - The 60yr Birthday Celebration of Queen Victoria.🧵1/14

Year 1897 Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrated across British India - the saddest yr that surpassed 1876 famine.

A severely deficient monsoon followed throughout Punjab, Central Province, NW Provinces, Oudh, Bihar & Madras Deccan in 1896.
The viceroy was Lord Elgin. 2/14

Lord Elgin kept grain prices high to ensure exports, while officials refused to bring grain where people couldn’t pay. A Famine Fund, however, had been set up after the 1876–77 famine - now being invested in tackling Afgan rebels.

The British turned this drought into Famine.3/14
