Stand up & speak out
The HinduThere is no appeasement of Muslims any more as ‘pseudo-secularists’ had been accused of doing since Independence. Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, who laid the ideological foundation for the two-nation theory years before Mohammed Ali Jinnah expounded the idea, did not mince words when he defined, in 1923, his idea of nation and who belonged to it: “To every Hindu… this Bharat bhumi is at once a Pitribhu and a Punyabhu—a fatherland and a holy land. It does not mean that Hindustan is not the country of other people… The term Hindu covers all those who are the sons of Bharat Mata, descendants of Indian ancestors and who live in accordance with the Indian culture ” Until 2014, Sangh philosophers had interpreted their view of India. Then came Narendra Modi, with a development man tag conferred on him by ever grateful Big Boys of Indian capitalism, and he presented himself as the Sangh Parivar’s best bet to take forward its hundred-year project. He quickly washed that sadness down by mocking the riot-affected Muslims in relief camps with his infamous comment, ‘We five, ours fifty…’, and referring to the camps as child-producing centres.
