But government is temporary, why should we believe against the idea of India?
Normally you wouldn't, but this government is out on a mission to alter what India means to it's inhabitants, the word Hindustan has taken on a whole new meaning.
I am not an Indian, nor do I live in the subcontinent so I will not be affected by whatever transpires in India but it is of my personal opinion that things going back to the way it used to be would be the best painless solution to this crisis.
Since it's inception India has done a commendable job at ensuring freedom of religion which is a right enshrined in the Indian Constitution. Sure a few incidents took place here and there but such cases of religious discord take place in any society when strong feelings clash.
It's still very much possible for everything to go back to the way it used to be, peaceful coexistence. Which is what this current administration fears the most: becoming irrelevant and eventually forgotten.
Therefore, BJP has adopted an unprecedented step in order to ensure a deep seated impact on Indian society and by extent ensuring that they remain in power. In short : a campaign of hatred.
They realised that the only reason a secular India worked is because all parties believed in the Idea of a secular India. That such an India is in the best interest of all Indians. So BJP made the idea of a secular India seem like the bad option. First they poisoned the masses by preaching hatred and getting them to believe that an inclusive India is not in their best interest. Then they moved to marginalise the minorities as a way to confirm their intent and commitment to a Hindu only India, basically they are affirming their motives to the very people they poisoned with hatred. And now it's a constant process of converting the few Indians who don't buy their bullshit into the ones that do.
Like I said earlier, BJP is out to alter the make-up and corner stones of Indian society as we know it.
What happens now remains to be seen, the only people who can make a difference now are Indians who make up their own minds rather than listening to the hatred so freely spewing out of the RSS/BJP mouthpieces.
If compassion and yearning for peaceful coexistence prevail then we can all sleep well at night knowing that there's still hope for humanity and if not..... Well cross that hideous bridge when we come across it.
