Well put. Outside of fora such as BRF and Twitter handles with a few thousand followers at most I do not see any real commitment by the vast majority of Hindus. It is inexplicable how Opindia and Swarajya struggle for funds even if all we are willing to do is use our keyboard.
As an action point, I request all forum members participating in this thread to make a contribution and subscription to at least 3 of the entities named above today.
Any other suggestions?
No need for the presumption, lots of folks here are already doing those donations. Some more folks are doing a lot more, they aren't just "using their keyboards" as you put it. I'm obviously not going to name names.
I'm talking about what it would take to get that commitment from the majority of Hindus. You are not going to get that commitment if the expectation is that it gets you tagged, doxxed, suicided. Show a semblance of justice in one instance (the current instance is perfect), and you will start getting more commitment.
Asking for commitment from ordinary folks against a known vicious and ruthless ecosystem, is unfair, unless there is some reasonable assurance of top-down protection. If the protection is there, the commitment will easily multiply a thousand-fold.
Asgkhan Ji, Sudarshan Ji, I understand completely where you are coming from. Believe, me, dard hamare dil mein bhi hota hai. Shayad aap logon se bhi zyada, aur aap logon se kahin zyada der se ho raha hai.
But we ALL need to do our bit. The problem with law in India is that it is good on paper but no good in practice. The law is only as effective as its enforcement is. In India the government can pass any number of good laws, but it is the Pandu (or Khatmal for you asgkhan Ji) on the street that implements it. And he does it based on his own needs - caste, greed, fear of retribution or loyalty to the Ummah et. From there on up the same motives exist at each level.
A top-down 'cover' only works if the second and third tiers are equally motivated. We all know that Modi and those in his immediate circle, perhaps the top Babus are not corrupt in the traditional sense. And yet, those whose job it is to enforce the law of the land and punish the transgressors are happily lining their own pockets or looking the other way when others do it. It is well known that even officers in the ED take bribes and hefty ones at that. If a high official of the ED is corrupt, how do you expect the rank and file of the police and the Babus to be otherwise?
These guys are protected by each other and by the system they have so carefully nurtured over decades. It cannot be dissolved in a few years no matter how tough the policies may be. Already there are enough laws, enough people are arrested, enough 'raids' take place and yet the system merrily rolls along.
For it to be systematically dismantled, enough mango Abduls have to stand up and fight for it. It is only when there is a general agreement in society that corruption and crime at that level will not be tolerated can the society reform itself. That is how Elliot Spitzer lost his position as Governor of the most powerful state in the country and thus his entire political career. His progeny cannot ever hope to become a Senator or run for Congress. OTOH, we have a high-school fail son of a criminal politician about to become the CM of a state in India. How do you explain that and how does Modi prevent that from happening?
Yes, there is tagging and persecution from the opposition. That will continue since they control the media, the judiciary and the police. So did the Brishits and yet our forefathers fought for their freedom. That is the kind of struggle that is required. When not just the people in power but the people working for them are all aligned against you, you can either become dhimmis and go limp or you can fight like those under the Brishits did. That era was worse than what we have today. After all, the soldiers who fired the bullets at Jalianwala were Indians, although the orders may have come from a Gora Sahib. It is our own people, the Hindus, who we are fighting, not the Malsis or EJs. It is Mahabharat all over again.
And until each one of us stands up for the fight, we are done for. Those who can should contribute financially. Talk to your family, spread the word, save each news article for future use. Scrutinize each grocery item you put in your cart before you buy it - no matter how small. Eat only non-halal meat. Send money to help those victimized by the other side - see Kapil Mishra's efforts and support people like him. Even if the law does not help these poor people, they and their families should know that the World Wide Hindu is there to take care of them. Make a list of all such victims and start a fund-raiser.
There is so much that can be done by each of us, instead of chest-beating here for Mudi to resign.
