I would really like to know the basis of the above statement - " monkey flying a spaceship". For all the umpteen folks on the forum, barely any have suggested practical solutions to the problems at hand. As Ambar ji and Tanaji also were making a point about more demands being made after the rollback of farm laws, this would always be the case even if we didn't have the farm laws in the first place. It could have been the CAA if not the farm laws, the assorted folks tried it with 370 and 35A but there weren't many takers then.
If lets say there was no CAA, the maybe privitization of PSU's or banks would have been used. even that would have govt unions and employees on the roads demanding the roll back and asking for more in terms of salaries, perks facilities etc and then slyly adding the releases of "activists" and getting India back on democracy or what ever.
All this complaining goes to show that normal folks want to just get on with their work without any major issues. The opposition is jobless and they wouldn't mind raising hell over anything that they feel can bring the govt down. These tactics will get even dirtier over the next two years. Afterall wasn't Vajpayee ji's NDA 1 targeted day in and day out relentlessly with one or the other and Gujarat 2002 became a rallying point where one section voted against and some other sections were weaned off whether using secularism or unity or constitutional fabric giving the UPA just a little over to come back to power.
people are saying govt is weak, but what exactly do you want the govt to do. Forget firing, even a lathi charge by police will turn a section of people completely against the govt for a very long time. People will point out that BJP doesn't win Punjab, but loosing the Sikh votes forever along with Jatt votes is going to be catastrophic in terms of vote share as you will be swimming upstream with no Muslim, no christian, no Sikh, a large section of Jaat votes and then you also have a section of Hindus who are "secular". and this won't stop, infact after one section is weaned away the next will be constantly worked on.
The BIF are constantly attacking, we need the capacity to absorb all the hits (or atleast most of them) and then collectively strike back. Right now if I had to go off, most of the supporters of the govt are really being "self absorbed". Folks constantly bemoaning we have 303, what is being done (folks should tell how having 303 will get tikait off the streets when they want to be manhandled and beaten or lathi charged) .
While i really do respect folks like Sanjay Dixit Ji, Ajeet Bharati, they are actually beginning to cause more harm to the cause of Hindus by constantly attacking the govt for perceived issues (not real ones, there are other real ones that are also being addressed). Media crooks has gone off the rails for what ever reason.
The best bet is to constantly provide feedback and try to establish channels to the local leaders and take it from there. This is a govt that does listen to people (supporters and even the ones opposing it). if your view has merit articulate it rather than shouting saying I am Hindu/muslim/minority, so i deserve it.
if we understand why the govt is doing what it does, then people can take steps to mitigate issues. (as in is the govt appeasing muslims or is only appearing to do so while it also gets Hindu agendas one by one off the ground peacefully without in your your face agenda).
Article 370 and 35A have gone, Ram Mandir is being built and people who said we will not visit ram Mandir are saying "Jai Sree Ram". Kashi Vishwanath Corridor is set to be opened, a little more effort, perseverance and Keshav's Mathura should also be freed. This all with record NPA's and corona ravaging economy, with the govt getting OROP, GST implemented and not printing their way out as some self acclaimed economist suggested.
It takes a lot to stand with your own when things get a bit rough. I didn't see peacefulls leave the congress when Rahul Gandhi was doing his temple run a few years earlier, but Hindus are having fits if BJP says we are giving some amount to Minorities for education. this should be drilled so that the bharkha dutts, Rajdeeps, varadarajans, sherwani's, saba naqvi's are shut up and then break away a section of Muslim votes so that the govt is not held hostage due to vote share games.
This somehow takes me back to Ramana Saar's observation that when the Kakatiyas were fighting with the Kiljis, a section of the Kakatiya samanthas showed up late for the war to show their importance and by that time the battle and war was lost.
Hope we don't repeat the very same mistakes from the past.
