NATIONALISM, DEMOCRACY AND POLITICS
BY 2014, Bharatiya masses were absolutely fed up with the
tyranny of the unelected bodies like National Advisory Council (NAC), judicial
overreach and political corruption and voted in the national democratic
alliance (NDA) under Narendra Modi with a thumping majority. People wanted a
strong leader who was proud of Bharat's heritage, practices and tradition,
assured the sanctity of its international borders and guaranteed peace within,
and follow the policy of Nation First.
FEAR
MONGERING TACTICS
Fears were raised by the opposition that if BJP under Modi
was voted to power, Bharat's relations with Islamic countries, especially the
vital Middle Eastern Block, would nosedive. None of these preposterous
prophecies came true. In fact, over the years Bharat's relations with Gulf
countries has seen significant improvement. The first Hindu temple in the
region was inaugurated by PM Modi in Abu Dhabi. Happy with the performance of
the Modi government, people have voted him back to power for the third
successive term. However, the opposition parties, particularly leader of
opposition Rahul Gandhi, are leaving no stone unturned to undermine Narendra
Modi to the extent that he continues with is anti-Bharat tirade in alliance
with international Left-liberal forces.
REBUTTAL BY
BIGGIES
Now, it seems that the nightmare of Left, social democrats
and self-certified liberal leadership across the world is not going to end
anytime soon. They cannot ever fully recover from the speeches from Prime
Minister of Italy Giorgia Meloni, US Vice President JD Vance and President
Donald Trump made in the recent past Right leaning leaders are speaking their
mind, and this has encouraged candour and free speech across the globe. The
Left is in retreat.
In her speech at CPAC in February this year, Meloni mentioned
that Bill Clinton and Tony Blair created global leftist liberal network, and
they were hailed as statesmen by this cabal. Today this same associated group,
with its tentacles spread to academia, media, film and television industry
brand popular conservative leaders like Modi as threats to democracy. The moral
hectoring that the voters in any country that votes for a conservative, right
leaning government receive is unbelievable.
INTERNATIONAL
POLITICAL DYNAMICS
This is also very much evident right now in Germany where a
new party Alternative for Germany (Afi)) has emerged as a popular choice. AfD
prioritizes German sovereignty and culture and Western values, and the
traditional left leaning parties feel threatened.
However, instead of responding to the wishes of the people,
as a party is expected to in a democracy, the incumbents looked for ways to
keep AID out of the electoral fray. In December last year, the Romanian
presidential election was annulled by its top court on flimsy ground of Russian
influence only because the winner, Calin Georgescu was considered far-right and
a NATO critic. He was later declared ineligible to contest elections by the
Central Electoral Bureau of Romania, and the decision was upheld in Romania's
constitutional court.
The latest in this series is the conviction of France's right
leaning leader Marie Le Pen on the charges of diversion of public funds for
political purposes. She has been declared ineligible to contest election for
five years. Effectively ending her political career. The playbook of the Left
is simple: keep patriotic leaders away from contesting elections by unleashing
a witch-hunt against them through their ideological partners in the judiciary.
This allows these parties to maintain a façade of being democratic while
ensuring that mass leaders do not get elected.
THE PROBLEM
OF LEFT
Why is it difficult for the Left to accept that faith,
practices and tradition matters to most of the people even today? Is it because
they see these values as obstacles in their aim to capture the state and its
instrumentalities? The idea of political correctness is also strange. Something
that is obvious and appeals to common sense becomes politically incorrect just
because the Left does not approve of it. Anything that is consistent to Left's
worldview becomes politically correct!
Whatever it may claim, one must understand that Leftist
ideology is intrinsically anti-national and anti-democratic. It believes in
complete capture of state machinery to perpetuate their rule and relies on woke
ideology to brainwash the young and the impressionable. They do not believe in
the ability of people to decide for their own selves.
TROUBLING
RESEMBLANCE IN BHARAT
We see disturbing parallels in Bharat. Congress believes and
acts as if it has the natural claim to rule over Bharat. It refuses to accept
electoral verdicts and attacks the institution of the Election Commission of
India and the EVMs when it loses. It shows similar attitude towards
investigation authorities, as in the National Herald case and even judicial
pronouncements, undermining court orders when they are unfavourable to them. In
January this year, Rahul Gandhi declared that the Congress Party is not only
fighting the BJP and the RSS but the Indian State itself!
A global coalition of the Right, something the Left would
claim to be an oxymoron, is gradually emerging. Countries would continue to
engage with one-another prioritising their national interests. It only implies
that the governments would be more responsive to the needs and aspirations of
its own people. This is true democracy at work. During his current official
visit to Bharat, US Vice President JD Vance said, "President Trump and I
know that Prime Minister Modi is a tough negotiator. It's one of the reasons
why we respect him" Strong national identity and conservative leanings do
not preclude global cooperation. PM Modi is a global icon of popular
conservative leader and has forged strong relations with other global leaders.
It bodes well for Bharat's global standing and its future role in current
geopolitical scenario.
