Now i understand why non-violent non-cooperation protests during Indian independence struggle is so unique - it cannot be replicated by anyone - indianness it is!

They are quite upset with the Modi government for allowing all of this to happen, no matter the optics at the end favoring the government. I tend to agree. No group should be able to block national highways for months and hold the Capital to ransom the way Shaheen Bagh and the 'Farmers' were allowed to do. This will only repeat itself in various guises in the future. The government was given a historic mandate and still has the majority of the country behind it. It should be seen to be strong not only against external, but internal threats as well. BIF have realized that a frontal assault on the nation will not work, the armed forces have now become stronger and the resolve of the nation as a whole is firmer. However, there are so many internal fault lines that can be exploited and that is exactly what has been done.

This whole matter has to be dealt with in the most severe manner possible - the dignity, honor and integrity of the nation is at stake. The leaders must be punished without mercy and all the perpetrators put in jail for a long time. The Khalistanis must be deported, banned from future entry into India and the local supporters have their passports taken away, all the other punitive measures as outlined so succinctly above.

I have never been so angry since the Godhra incident.
I think a key aspect of any stringent action would have to be "selling" it, if not to the "world audience", then at least to the aam abdul in India. Explain what is wrong with the intent and methods of the agitators. Explain why this particular action is the one to be taken. Explain why the action will have little or no repercussions on the aam abdul. Etc. Without this aspect, stringent action--usually meaning unleashing police, likely leading to firing and deaths--would be counterproductive in the present circumstances.

My general observation is that Modi does have the skill and the chops to formulate and deliver a pitch to the people, and they will buy it. Other than Modi, I don't see a deep bench in the BJP or RSS establishment that is capable of this level of articulation or communication. I don't think these outfits have a culture of "marketing" their ideas to the general public in a modern sense. Modi remains an outlier in that culture.

So, why doesn't Modi come out more often and just deliver his pitch directly to the people, every time there is a need, to get things done? One answer is that he is, in fact, doing that in a sense, with his under-the-radar man ki baat program. I suspect it is far more effective than many of us might think. Another answer is that, Modi's communication magic is a precious tool to be used sparingly in cases of truly dire need--as with Covid or the China attack etc.--lest its impact get diluted through overuse. That decision would be different if there was in fact a deep bench of serious-minded, clear-thinking and clear-speaking leaders in the BJP and in the parivar. In that case, they could fill the media-waves with the party's position on all matters and sundry, the way the DIE media does for their position. Then there would be less worry about overusing Modi. But there is no such bench.

So, these frequent eruptions get tackled at a sub-optimal level.

Perhaps there is a medical analogy to how severely ill patients with multiple complex ailments are treated.

I am not unhappy with Modi's reticence on most issues, including this one - for now. And the police does not need to be 'unleashed' as in the days of IG or the assault on the kar sevaks by Mulayam. The leaders of this 'movement' have been identified. It would be relatively easy to nab them, quietly if possible, and lock them up with multiple charges, esp the kind that automatically have no bailable options and mandate a long sentence. The key, IMHO is to let the others know that the government has the will and the means to punish those that act against the nation.

I think the difference now is that the aam junta has seen the videos and the 'Kisan andolan' has been exposed for what it is. There is not much else that needs to be explained, although it wouldn't hurt to have a daily briefing by the top brass - preferably not a politician - on the progress of the manhunt for the perpetrators.

And I agree, there are several top level ministers who are truly incompetent and make me cringe whenever I hear them. I am sure Modi knows this but is unable to do too much about it. There are very capable people like Sudhanshu Trivedi but they do not have the authority or the 'status' to be anything other than spokespersons for the media debates.

As for the medical analogy, you take care of the most life-threatening problem first and so on. Thus, in resuscitation, the ABC is Airway, Breathing and Circulation. In the current context, the immediate need is to clear out all the roads, camps and end the agitation. Follow this with a simultaneous arrest and prosecution of the key players, including, and I believe this is very important, the journalists who spread false news adding fuel to the fire.

1. It sends a message that you'll be paying for your Bura Karam...Jayada Bura Karam, Bahut Bura Action!
2. Rioting comes at a cost...are you willing to pay that...
3. Instill fear of reprisal...esp. the leaders and their immediate chamchaas... as long as it is enforced with a Titanium hand, it will start showing the impact. When these shitbags will see passports canceled, no jobs, Ladkiwale will search Rioters database for DamaadJi/Grrrooms who are rioters, no Shaadi...believe me, it will start working even if not perfect! That Hot mardangi to riot will start melting down...

No political party (including BJP) unfortunately will go for this stuff because any and every political party in India makes cynical use of so-called 'street power' which is basically goons.

A side effect of this is that non-political party entities like Islamists and Naxals also get a free pass in doing this stuff as legislation is weak.

If you look at Finland, Norway and Denmark, for instance, the turning point appears to have occurred in the mid-90s, after which average IQs dropped by around 0.2 points a year. That would amount to a seven-point difference between generations.

I think some of us are prematurely breathing a sigh of relief thinking this round of battle with BIF has come to a conclusion. The terrorists have withdrawn from central Delhi but they are still camped on the national highways, infact they are calling in more reinforcements. I still wouldn't count on them cancelling the march to the parliament, they have enough fake media support still despite the republic day shenanigans and congress is just waiting to create another spectacle in the parliament when the budget session opens.

hanumadu · Post by **hanumadu** » 29 Jan 2021 09:20

It's easy to create an illusion that an entire community is against something when in fact only a handful of people with vested interests are so. If a portion of Sikh community are Khalistanis, they would not need to come to Delhi. They can create mayhem in Punjab itself. The whole of the agitation seems to divide people, Hindus vs Sikhs, now Jats vs others. Are we going to rant everytime congress/china/west/ISI tries their dirty tricks? How low should our IQ be that we fall for their tricks at the slightest provocation?

I hope the Admins don't give any leeway on this forum where people are quick to magnify any minor differences in communities and make the situation worse. It is obvious that it is the ploy of break India forces and this forum should not be a platform where their tricks come to fruition.

Khalistan did not happen when India was much weaker and the west much stronger, when the dollar went much longer in India. It will not happen now. So everybody take a chill pill and trust the govt to know what it is doing.

Now it seems the Tikiat guy is making it a Jatt vs others and people have started ranting against Jatts in SM without even waiting if his call will be heeded or not. It's basically politics. Any body who has a vested interested in BJP not being in power will join in. Some of them will be Jats and many will pose as Jats. It's much easier now than when it was a 'Sikh' agitation. They don't even have to wear the Pagdi now.

People should remain calm and let the game play out.

This whole MSP thing, the way it is being implemented so far and unfortunately in the future too, is nothing but Ziziya tax collected by Sikhs from Hindus. Hindus have to see it for what it is.

I hate to say this, but I think the representation of Sikhs in armed forces needs to be brought down to their proportion in the population (I am assuming they are disproportionately high in numbers -- please correct me if I am wrong). This is a national security issue.

^^^
That is an absolute must.
Sikhs constitute about 2.5% of the population, but in the armed forces they are about 12%. For the nation's sake the representation in the armed forces should reflect that of the general population roughly. For a long long time I have been suggesting inducting more people from the mozaike of various tribes of the NE part of the country. Among other things, they bring much diversity and have a far better physical stamina and endurance than the people of the plains.

What is the situation on the protest sites? Only update I got was that at Singhu locals grouped up and asked the farmer brokers to clear the place. As a Malayalam news paper reported "People claiming themselves as locals, groups up and ask farmers to leave". Notice the framing of the sentence.

At Ghazipur looks like police action is still pending. There was no eviction drive. And Tikait dude is now playing the caste+farmer card. One more union has decided to call it quits. It is the Bharathiya Kisan Union-Lok Shakti gang.

So where all are the protest sites and what is the status?

Santosh · Post by **Santosh** » 29 Jan 2021 10:53

Looks like UP police has withdrawn from Ghazipur border where Tikait gang is holding ground. I wonder why this decision was made. Maybe they are giving this Tikait guy couple days to come to his senses. He has a show cause notice and if he doesn't respond he may be arrested. Also another chai biskoot session will be held today between sarkar and gang.

I agree with Dixit ji assessment that Modi govt has been verr lax. Atleast now they should have arrested Tikait. He had given undertaking to Delhi police for peaceful protest. So there are sufficient grounds to arrest him. But BIF gang will come to his defence and file reply in court as usual.

Nothing heard from the Singhu gang. So have the brokers from Punjab gone back? Tikait seems to be planning for a political show down, while the Punjabi broker gang was trying to prove their machismo through violence. With the Khalistan angle now out in the open, the 'secular liberal' gang may start favouring Tikait who is more of the 'home grown' variety.

You can not rule in dilli by taking on 36 biradri. This is why the Congis always solicited jats and gujjars as vote bank. Modi & Shah have to be seen as benevolent and give in to 36 biradri else even someone like Tikait will be tough cookie.

Jat is no longer just a caste but a tribal identity that overlaps north indian state boundaries. Jat leader can evoke clarion call to summon tribal fealty from members in haryana, punjab, rajasthan to UP.

Gujjars are no great friends of Jats but will join when faced by common enemy. That is how muzaffarnagar riots were sorted.

My take is Govt is trying to bring in the much needed reforms in farming sector genuinely. Sad this mad jokers want to exert their pressure by bringing in caste and family identity politics here. If there will be a war, let there be a war. Why to stop the reforms that benefits the entire country instead of just one caste / tribe.

No one took on any biradaris, even if the government stands still and introduces no new bills, egged on by Congress, AAP and various regional, castist parties these communities will riot. It is not about any one issue but the caste chauvinists feel with Modi and BJP in Delhi, there will be a pan India development across communities and these special interest groups may no longer hold all the aces. You see this mentality from Kashmir to Kerala, where those who overtly display their caste chauvinism are also the most vocal in their hatred for BJP/Modi/RSS . During the first Modi govt. they manufactured agitations from Gujarat to Haryana to UP to Rajasthan to Maharashtra, if it was jat agitation one month, it was maratha agitation, gujjar agitation, patel agitation . While i am of the strong opinion that the best use of time is to improve the quality of life for all citizens by closing the loopholes within existing laws instead of introducing new ones, i doubt if that alone will solve the "civil disobedience" movements the opposition parties orchestrate every 6 months.

Btw, Tikait's father Mahendra Singh Tikait was the same farm union leader who during Rajiv Gandhi's govt. tookover central Delhi with 3 lakh farmers. He demanded free electricity and higher prices for sugarcane, the government agreed but that did not stop Tikaitji from agitating with new demands using the same template every couple of years.

And, that is the key. This movement wasn't about farmers, laws (or any laws) to begin with (may be except the headline to fool real farmers). It is all about SURVIVAL, cold war of BIF, Kangis, Khujli, Commie, and harem around it (and resuscitate hope to maintain political relevance). See what you get for passing good farm laws. Imagine what you will get for firing or crushing skull/rib cages protestors. One small mistake, could undo all previous good and future of Modiji/rise of India. It is a painful balance between maintaining la-order, meeting of the expectations of we-gave-you-303-seat-majority, and optics on the ground. Divide and conquer is best way forward. Would like to see some high profile arrests soon.

The US response to this sort of left-wing tumult (the widespread, violent student protests of 1968) was to identify the political ringleaders, influencers, and organizers and unleash J Edgar Hoover's FBI against these critical nodes. Rather than confront the problem once it is already inflamed and TV cameras are everywhere to watch your frontline cops dealing with a big crowd in public-- it is better to carry out quiet decapitation strikes such as employed in the War on Terror. Everybody has something dirty about them. Even if they cannot be ultimately prosecuted in court, the taint associated with digging up the skeletons in the ringleaders' cupboards and exposing them in the news media (which is craving headlines anyway) does a lot to destroy the morale and momentum of such "civil insurrections".

That was the US of the past, today the left-wing violence in the US is rewarded and the political support to them doubles up after each riot in a pattern no different to India. Its just been 48 hrs since the ugly scenes in the capital where the national flag was desecrated and a religious flag was planted on the Red Fort, police moved down with tractors, attacked with swords and pushed into canals but yet AAP, INC and Khap panchayat have doubled downed and are providing more logistical and political support.

There are lessons to be extracted from Mulayam Singh's handling of kisan union politics in the 90s, he created rival factions inside many of these unions, created confusion, leadership vacuum and made them toothless. In the 70s when Prof. Nanjundaswamy started kisan andolan politics across Karnataka, Indira used a hybrid approach of creating congress backed farmer unions and unleashing the police on farmer and student unions. Indian politics has never been for the thin skinned but the difference between post-2000 politics is that certain parties are completely comfortable wrecking the very foundation of our nation for petty political gains, if people like Kejriwal, Rahul Gandhi, Sonia or Amrinder Singh held power in our formative years i think we would have long been balkanized .

Read somewhere on titter that the cases (including dangerous variant) are rising at the protesting sites, but no authoritative source. The only way to contain this is do testing, split the protestors into small groups and quarantine. Older farmers are even more prone to life threatening situation.

I think you will see something very different now that Biden has assumed the Presidency. As long as Trump was there, the leftist "Squad" faction of the Democratic party and the centrist Clintonite faction (of whom Biden is the torchbearer) were united in opposition. Now they have to contend with the fact that they are two separate and vastly divergent ideological entities within the same party. The Squad faction is going to become a liability for Biden-Harris very soon (it already has, with Antifa rioters attacking the DNC offices in Portland and Seattle) and I believe we will soon see their key leaders either being bought off or subject to the quiet, ruthless application of law-enforcement machinery. Trump himself could have done more in this regard if he was not fundamentally incompetent and had not surrounded himself with sycophants towards the end of his administration.

Anyway, that is getting OT for this thread. The use of bheda + danda is certainly no foreign concept for Indian political leaders as you have mentioned. What is different from Indira Gandhi and Mulayam Singh's time is that the optics have become weaponized in their own right. If a demonstration of farmers was lathicharged or fired upon in a dusty village sometime in the 1970s, or even the 1990s, it might occupy some column space in a newspaper the next day but the vast majority of the country would forget about it within minutes (if they even cared). These days with cell phone video, social media, and 24X7 news channels airing the same clips literally for weeks in order to fill their programming schedules, it's a completely different situation. That's why it should never be allowed to come to open protest at all.

The mathematicians and statisticians will claim it was the government's action which brought down the covid cases dramatically since September, but any general physician with experience of practicing in India will tell you from October to March is the "slow season" every year when the flu cases begin falling but mid to late march it starts picking up and hits a peak in late August. If we haven't hit the herd immunity by then it is entirely possible to see the cases shoot up from March. Good luck making the thick skulled khalistanis/khap panchayat idiots take covid tests at protest sites or vaccinating them, after months we've failed to make them read the farm laws or vacate the national highways so a global pandemic is the last thing they'll care about.
