Ek Villain - Hindu Male

For the big part of the last century the the biggest enemy of the liberal left or the #AdarshLiberal was the free market corporate world. Having lost that battle, they now have a new enemy ... the Hindu male.

The narrative began with the BBC documentary called 'India's Daughter'.  Using a set of interviews with the rapist and his lawyers a persona is created of a Hindu male as regressive, patriarchal, casteist,  animal like creature who believes that rape and exploitation are his birthright. 

Nirbhaya's father and her friend who provide a counter narrative are conveniently ignored in the documentary. The documentary gets such support from the left leaning academia that applications of Hindu male students get rejected by foreign univercities as they have a 'rape problem' and are a threat to the women students. NDTV which is BBC's local partner in India stands by the documentary.

Then comes the visit of the IMF chief to India. The IMF chief is asked questions by NDTV on the Indian economy and she ends up complimenting India on being the fastest growing economy in the world. The IMF chief goes on to state that India's economy would outpace that of Japan and Germany combined in 4 years.

Now this is just too much for an #AdarshLiberal. So a young Delhi student poses a question - "Will only the Hindu male benefit from the growth ? "  You can see the video here 

And the reaction of the IMF chief was 




BBC now erupts with joy on this question and tweets



I will not get into the psyche of the British male who took refuge in debating at Oxford/Cambridge instead of taking on Hitler in the name of peace or the fact that Britain chose not to investigate its MPs involved in the paedophile racket ...

So what is this Hindu male problem that is disturbing our left leaning friends. The west and the left are comfortable with the Hindu male who is semi-educated, lacks confidence, not assertive, is religious and superstitious for he then becomes a very convenient tool to attack Indian culture.

The problem arises when they have to deal with a Hindu male such as Swami Vivekananda, Shivaji, Mahatma Gandhi or Narendra Modi. 

Whenever a Hindu male demonstrates competence, confidence or is rational, the west and left have little to counter him and so the next best thing is to attack.....Vivekananda and Gandhi were so much ridiculed before their ideas found acceptance..... 

The Hindu male of today has evolved from  generations ago , gone are the old mindsets and with this evolution the best tool anyone had to attack Indian culture is blunted .... and so we have documentaries trying to amplify and exaggerate law and order issues into generic attitudes of the Hindu male population at large

As for the question asked by the Delhi student ... Is it possible to alienate 60% of the non Hindu male  population from the benefits of the growth ? 

The answer is Yes but only in communist societies which she represents. Last 5,000 years of Indian history has no trace of exclusion ...

Mauka Mauka for the Enemy Within

Two things unite a nation as diverse as India - culture and cricket. When any nation takes part in a world tournament and does well very in the initial stages, one would expect the people of that nation to back the team .... Over the past few weeks we had many intellectuals and prominent media houses hoping that India looses the semi finals against Australia ... It started with noted sociologist Ashis Nandy .... According to Nandy, India is suffering from too much national pride and winning the world cup will make it worse... This was followed by a national poll by a leading print magazine Outlook which asked .. "Should India win the World Cup ? "  You can take the survey here Outlook not only echoed Nandy's sentiments but went on to add that "winning the world cup might just make India's macho and hyper masculine nationalism more intense. Over the last few months, there seems to have been an effort to make a pluralistic India into a homogeniz...

BJP Karyakarta has Won

The earliest memory I have of a BJP karyakarta was of my mother''s colleague and friend called as Rajani aunty . Rajni aunty and her family were dedicated, committed karyakartas of the RSS, Jan Sangh and then the BJP.  Their commitment was so complete that they made every contribution they could - tan, man and dhan. Even in the 1980's when the BJP was a very young party, Rajani aunty and her family stood like a steady rock. When Vajpayee lost in the 1984 election, there were tears in her eyes. Rajani aunty used to work as a professor at the Sophia college in Mumbai. Once she asked a rather innocent question in the GK paper - "Who is the founder of the RSS ? ". The secular Catholic management took a very hard view and she was forced to quit her job. For 2 years she did not have a job but never once regretted her commitment to the ideology. Through her trials , she always stood by the Sangh. Her family for generations and decades stood by the Sangh no matte...

3 'Aamir Khan Moments' of my life

Last week Aamir Khan shared a rather personal conversation he had with his wife. The conversation reflected the fear, anxiety and in-security his family left after incidents like Dadri. There will be no family in India, which has not experienced similar moments due to events that happen in our community, society and country. Let me share 3 'Aamir Khan Moments' of my life The first moment dates back to 1993. Till then the world had not even heard of a serial bomb blast. Bombay (yes it was called Bombay then) was the first city to experience terror at scale. The blasts targeted all key city transit routes at peak hour traffic. There is no way you could escape. I was with my brother at a coaching class at Tardeo. Our teacher suspended the class mid way and asked us to reach home asap. We had no idea what had happened for there were no mobile phones back then. As we tried to reach home, we found that all public transport was suspended. There was chaos, blood and f...
