SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Editorial

SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Bjp Is Facing Little Challenge From Its Rivals Now In National Politics

The Delhi police’s initial reluctance to book saffron activists for their hate speech againstMuslims, and the centre’s certificate to the sedition laws before the Supreme Court, aretypical signs of authoritarianism. Left unchecked, such an official attitude is bound to pavethe way for an intolerant, pro-Hindu state.The only saving grace at the moment is the judiciary which is why the police have had tooverturn their earlier clean chit to the hate-mongers and may even put some of them behindbars. The verdict on the sedition case is still awaited. But there is little doubt that thegovernment will fight tooth-and-nail to retain it on the statute book, given its utility inharassing critics.What these developments show, however, is the thin line on which the nation is walking tosafeguard its democracy. There is little doubt that any misstep will usher in a totalitarianregime. The danger is all the greater because apart from the judiciary, there are virtually nobulwarks against a steep descent into autocracy.While parties such as the Trinamool Congress, the DMK, the Congress, the CPI(M), theRashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Aam Admi Party (AAP) are likely to resist theauthoritarian trends, there are others like the Janata Dal (United), the Biju Janata Dal andthe YSR Congress which will tamely go along with the BJP.The Telangana Rashtra Samithi is threatening to take on the BJP, but it is a lone ranger.Moreover, its past bonhomie with the BJP can raise doubts about its future plans.Similarly, the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen has been accused of being the BJP’s “B” teamalthough its leader, Asaduddin Owaisi, has been sharply critical of the saffron party. But itsMuslim background makes the “secular” parties ware of associating with it for fearing ofalienating the Hindu voters. The ghost of Jinnah still haunts the Indian political scene.That leaves few credible challengers to the BJP, leaving it an open field. Besides, thechallengers themselves do not always inspire confidence because of their many flaws. Mamata Banerjee, for instance, lacks sophistication. The DMK’s M.K. Stalin, too, is aprovincial figure who can only speak Tamil. The CPI(M) is confined to Kerala, having fritteredaway its earlier strongholds in West Bengal and Tripura, and the RJD to Bihar. The AAP at the moment appears capable of giving the BJP a run for its money in statesoutside the Hindi belt such as Gujarat. But the AAP’s ideology is woolly and its politics ismarked by opportunism where taking a firm stand against the BJP’s minoritybaiting isconcerned. As its pro-Hindu slogans suggest, the AAP is careful about its stance vis-à-visthe majority community. Where the BJP is concerned, therefore, it appears to be well-placed on the road to a Hindu rashtra. Given the present political trends, the RSS can look forward with great elation to asuccessful celebrating of its centenary year in 2025. What seemed unattainable in the yearsof Nehru and Indira Gandhi is now apparently well within reach. Against the backdrop of establishing a Hindu rashtra, the existing difficulties with regard toinflation and unemployment will appear minimal and even inconsequential. What will matterto the average Hindu is the possibility of achieving a dream where the minorities – Muslimsand Christians – will be totally marginalized, being unable to exercise any influence in thefields of music and movies, as the Muslims have done for long, or in the fields of educationand a westernized lifestyle which have been associated with the Christians.It is not accidental, therefore, that there is a row over replacing English with Hindi as the linklanguage and an attempt is being made to drown out the sound of the azaan – the Muslimliturgy of prayers – with loud chants of Hindu religious invocations. It is also not accidentalthat bulldozers are being deployed to destroy the supposedly illegal shops andestablishments of the Muslims since these mechanical monsters tend to create fear amongthe bystanders. The hesitancy shown by the Delhi police to act against the hatemongers till the judiciaryintervened is not seen in the audio-visual media which is full of saffron bloggers andanchors. They rarely lose an opportunity to praise the ruling dispensation and criticize itsopponents. Not since the Emergency have such large sections of the media been sosubservient except for a few notable exceptions. Whether it is the police or the - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara bureaucracy or the media.
