A quest to preserve our “secular democracy”:

A quest to preserve our “secular democracy”:

After ages a leader with a lion heart has come to lead the people of India against the cohort of power and position hungry jackals:

Friends; AK- Arvind Kejriwal- is fighting for the aam aadmi ( mango men in the words of Robert Vedra :) )

Many of us- volunteers- are fighting for 2 enabling principles: democracy and secularism. At present perhaps AAP is the only party, which holds out a hope for fighting corruption effectively while upholding the above two virtues.

We are not after any pelf or position. However, there is truth in people’s allegation, when they say that there are many opportunists in AAP. Some of the people are coming to get a ticket and win elections in the name of AAP.

Incidentally, which party is free from such people?

We- at AAP- are planning transparent systems and devices to wed out such people and field the best candidates. Hence, though there are aspirants in most constituencies we may not field candidates in many places.

At now; perhaps AAP is the only party, which is systematically planning to field the best candidates in ALL constituencies. No nepotism no dynastic politics in that.

Preserving the secular democratic framework:

True, preserving the secular democratic framework of our polity would need a lot of effort. With the rise of strong communal feelings, that one cannot be assumed to be self-sustaining.

The communal brigades - across the country and in most part of the globe- are trying relentlessly to win people over to their side. By and large they doctor or manufacture history - of a glorious past under their respective religious orders- to fool the masses.

Unfortunately, till date they have been quite successful in that; what else explains the survival of a large number of Islamic Republic?

In such a world, mere wishful thinking that, such tall virtues would survive themselves in India is not tenable.

The myth of “Tolerant Hindu”:

Tolerant Hindu is a myth. The internal contradictions and the historical injustice for Dalits, who constitute the majority along with non-upper class Hindus, make it impossible to bring Hindus together.

The more non-Brahmins become literate it'll be more difficult to glorify the Indian past, where oppression of the Dalits was so very common. The literate Dalits would not buy the exaggerated stories of oppression by Muslims and Christians, while completely missing out the real tyrant- the Brahminical idea of low and high-class people. The oppression along the fault lines of caste lasted over centuries/ generations and very unfortunately that oppression, at a reduced scale though, is continuing till date!

Have you marked; there is no finger pointing at the Brahmins. As Gandhi said hate theft not the thief, more so in case of historical wrongs we'd not blame the progeny but the idea that created such a rift. Hence this effort to expose the diabolical idea- Brahminism- that grossly ill-treated millions over centuries.

So, let’s not get fooled by the “tolerant Hindu” myth. Let's squarely address the problem of casteistic politics and to contain its negative fall-out let’s invigorate the virtues of secularism.

Is it a crime to seek a "life with dignity":
It's a real irony: many Dalits got converted to Islam and Christianity not just for some monetary benefits but also to live a "life with dignity". And now they are branded as anti-nationals!

Friends; you call it whatever you want, but this is a critical time and if you side with communal demons, fooled by some doctored history and statistics, then the posterity will not forgive us for paving the path for creation of a Hindu Pakistan!

The choice is yours (Period).
