National/Regional/International Affairs
By N. P. Upadhyaya (Aryal)
Kathmandu: India, the so-called largest democracy is not a democracy at all instead it is a mobocracy.
Mobocracy is defined as “rule by the mob” or “the mob is the ruling class”.
This Indian ‘cracy’ more or less fits into what we have been practising in Nepal since India designed the ouster of the Monarchy.
The way it has been subjugating and intimidating the neighbouring smaller South Asian nations tell that this Elephantine nation born in 1947 enjoys as and when the bordering countries feel threatened by its bullying attitude.
The recent coercive activities of expansionist India aka Hindustan aka Bharat in the neighbouring countries, for example, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal are sufficient enough to prove that India in effect is a country that took birth to bully the next-door countries.
Indian coercion in Bangladesh:
The sitting Bangladesh foreign minister A. K. Momen “appealed” to India to help save the government of Sheikh Hasina in the approaching elections.
The question thus is: why does a sovereign country ask India to look after the stability of a neighbouring country?
The answer is simple and straight.
Out of fear and Bangladesh is “forced” to seek India’s blessings even to keep its internal politics under control.
A weird phenomenon indeed.
This does also tell in an implied manner that B’desh felt it better in informing India first to help keep stable the country or else India will jump, as is the experience of Nepal, under the pretext of “any disturbance in B’desh shall have a negative impact in its own security matters”.
Thanks to that the people of B’desh have begun penalizing their corrupt leaders (India elevated?) and justice being awarded right on the streets.
Good news. The Sri Lankan storm has approached B’desh and the hurricane hopefully will soon grip Nepal.
The India bend leaders in Nepal need severe punishments for their almost selling Nepal at a dirt cheap price.
Entire Nepali rivers have gone to the pocket of India snatching China’s share. India’s wrath averted, the other way round?
India exploited Nepal’s volatile political situation to its colossal benefits in the year 2005/6 when the elephantine neighbouring country (some take India as the nearest and dearest enemy country in the room in Nepal) jumped into the Nepali politics in the name of “settling” the differences in between the Nepali Monarch and the agitating leaders of seven parties.
The fun is unlimited:
The agitating seven party leaders were the “brainchild” of the Indian regime itself and India wanted to mediate in Nepali affairs in an issue which was its own design to keep Nepal unstable and then exploit the instability of Nepal which again was the calculated “plan and scheme” of the Indian establishment.
The US has appointed India as the policeman of South Asia.
Rightly claims Dr Manzoor Naazer that India plays its cards as and when some countries in its neighbourhood develop instability and then constructs such a situation where the country in trouble prefers to invite the regional scoundrel to fix its internal problems. In a way, the patient and the quack both is India.
And here again, needless to say, the problems in the neighbouring nation are surely a making of the Indian establishment itself through its paid and posted agents in that very particular country.
The same has had happened in Nepal in the year 2005 when the “hangers-on” and the domestic agents serving “Mera Bharat Mahan” converged in Delhi under Indian instructions and began talking nonsense against King Gyanendra and the Nepali Monarchy which did not serve the “prime interests” of the Indian regime, was unceremoniously ousted under a calculated scheme. Since then chaos rules Nepal. Mobocracy thus has institutionalized the benefits of India again.
Thus the Indian design worked (backed by the paid and posted domestic servants of the RAW agency) and the institution of the Nepali monarchy was ousted which is what India wanted as it were the Kings of Nepal who had so far saved this nation from the invasion of the Indian immigrants which if allowed would have already made Nepal as Sikkim, the new Indian state.
Imperialist India ever wished to guzzle Nepal as per the design of the wife of an Indian Persian youth Mrs Indira Gandhi, who had set the “Nepal assimilation year” as 2015.
As the luck would have it, the inferiority complex-ridden lady Mrs Gandhi was shot dead by her own security guards at the year-end of 1984. Her death thus shifted the dates of Nepal being yet another Sikkim.
However, bids are yet afoot to Sikkimise Nepal as some “India serving Nepali dogs” are trying hard to force Nepal to meet the Sikkim fate.
The RAW agents who are in the Nepali Parliament are insisting that the citizenship bill must be approved by the Nepal President as soon as possible.
If and when this citizenship bill gets approved by the President, Nepal will go into the hands of the Indian agents who have illegally received Nepali citizenship certificates by bribing “the corrupt Brahman” authorities of Nepal.
The Indian idea is to flood Nepal with starving Indian immigrants and at an opportune moment swallow the sovereign nation Nepal for which “Indian nationals with Nepali souls” are doing their best to prove themselves as true Lhendup Dorje of Sikkim, the traitor who secretly worked for Mrs Indira Gandhi until Sikkim was swallowed by the elephantine scoundrel of the region.
Rightly says Swiss scholar Carl Gustav Jung in his book ‘Psychology and the East’ that “the mind is chiefly employed by devising suitable “isms” to hide the real motives or to get more loot”. Carl was an intimate friend of Sigmund Freud.
Perhaps Swiss scholar’s words of wisdom fit into the designs of cunning India and its “Mera Bharat Mahan” stooges in Nepal in this India-imposed republicanism.
All these prove that India is not a democracy and that it could never practice democracy.
Yet the USA is the greatest fan of Indian democracy which it is not.
Enters Arundhati Roy:
A recent Tweet posted by Sandeep Choudhary claims, quoting Arundhati Roy (sic), “I don’t know on what grounds India can be called a democracy”.
Roy, needless to say, is a sharp critique of her own country and at regular intervals; she pounces upon India and the Indian society’s inadequacy or wrongdoing.
In a way, she is the spokesman for the minority Indians such as Muslims and the Dalits. Only recently, the veteran Indian author of international repute, Arundhati exposed, writes in “The Pakistan Observer”, August 9, the so-called Indian egalitarianism, the disintegration and growing intolerance in Indian society, and the hypocrisy of those institutions that are meant to be custodians of justice and democratic norms”.
The Observer says, Roy while talking to Aljazeera, blatantly said, “the practice of bulldozing Muslim homes and businesses for purely punitive reasons is proof that India is transitioning pretty brazenly into a criminal Hindu fascist enterprise”.
The Booker Prize winner Roy on May 05 had compared, as per the Business Standard, May, today’s India to a plane moving in reverse, the one which she argued is “headed for a crash”.
She made these observations while launching the book titled, “Why you fear my way so much?” written by the jailed human rights activist G. N Saibaba.
Making a jibe at India, the straightforward Indian critique Roy took India as a land of ‘sophisticated jurisprudence’, the one where laws are applied differently depending on your “caste, class, gender and ethnicity”.
In an email interview with the US news outlet, CNN, June 2022, Roy said, “the ruling party, the BJP (Bharatiya Janta Party), considered to be one of the richest political parties in the world, and is only the front office of the RSS. Founded in 1925, the RSS, traditionally controlled by a handful of Brahmins (the so-called upper caste), now has millions of members including PM Modi, who has been a member since his teenage years, and most of his cabinet ministers”. Needless to say, the RSS men are fanatic Hindus.
Indian PM Modi’s hatred of the Indian Muslims and the Indian Dalits remains no longer a secret but yet India is a “democracy” for some developed Western countries and the USA only in that Indian establishment is a strong partner of the US in the QUAD security instrument.
Suzanna Arundhati Roy is an Indian author best known for her novel “The God of Small Things”, which won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 1997 and became the bestselling book by a non-expatriate Indian author. She is needless to say, an internationally recognized political activist so she is disliked by the Indian establishment.
And here is Swedish Professor Ashok Swain:
This Swedish Professor of Indian origin too to a greater extent takes India, not as a democracy but as a mobocracy.
Let’s listen to what he has to say in his fresh Tweet. He says, “A US-based journalist of ‘Vice News’, Angad Singh, who had produced a documentary on Shaheen Bagh protest was deported from Delhi airport immediately after reaching India. He had come for a family visit. This is the state of the world’s so-called largest democracy”.
Not only the uncomplicated Professor Ashok Swain, but the sane intellectuals across the globe take India as a mobocracy but not a democracy as is given understand by a section of Western media who possess special love and honour for India because of its inclusion in the Quad security conglomerate led by the US.
Shaheen Bagh is a place in Delhi that only recently remained a popular area/venue of protests against the Citizenship Amendments Act.
Shaheen Bagh got world attention between December 2019 and January 2022, recall media agencies.
Now Bilkis Bano story:
When Arundhati Roy commented on “India as a land of ‘sophisticated jurisprudence”, the one where laws are applied differently depending on your “caste, class, gender and ethnicity”, we are reminded of the horrifying tale of a Muslim woman Bilkis Bano (19) a resident of a village close to Ahmedabad.
Then a pregnant Bilkis Bano on March 3, 2002, during the engineered riots in Gujrat, fourteen members of Bano’s family were killed in the violence that is taken as the Gujrat massacre.
This violence not only took the precious life of Bano’s 3 years old daughter whose head was smashed on the ground by the perpetrators but Bilkis Bano herself was “gang raped”, according to Scroll.in, August 27.
The news outlet further claims that “protests are being held in different parts of India against the Gujrat government’s decision to summarily “release all 11 men convicted of rape and murder in the Bilkis Bano’s case”.
And yet India is the largest democracy for the US! Fun unlimited. Roy has spoken the truth and the truth only.
Ashok Swain once again:
“When has it become the Hindu culture to welcome rapists after they get released from jail? They had garlanded the Bilkis Bano rape convicts in Gujrat, now they are garlanding a rape accused Hindu Godman after his release from jail in Madhya Pradesh, India”.
Will all these blunders and fault lines, India yet is the largest democracy in the developed West more so than the USA. This is simply more than a riddle.
Historian Guha on India and PM Modi:
Ram Chandra Guha, a foremost historian of modern India says; “India as a country is 30-70 democracy. Guha calls the personality cult around Modi is largest in human history.
Guha says, “Modi is now in the league of Hitler, Mussolini, Ghaddafi and Saddam Hussein. Though he is a Gujarati, he rules like British rulers. Modi has fully used, the police army, executive judiciary and anti-graft bodies to sustain his reign.
Political analyst Madan Regmi on PM Modi:
Our (Nepal’s) experience with Indian PM Modi is bitter. After he disappeared from his house, he took refuge/shelter in the Himalayan shrine of Muktinath of Nepal.
He was provided shelter and fed freely by the locals. Though upon assuming Prime Ministerial chair of India, Nepal was his first choice for exploitation and he then took sadistic pleasure in imposing an economic blockade on Nepal.
Conclusion: The India-Pakistan conflicts have been at the core of insecurity and instability in South Asia which has all along benefited India for multiple reasons.
Pakistan can and must defuse the Indian establishment’s regional hegemony by asserting itself as an equal and matching nuclear deterrent to India.
If Pakistan asserts itself as an equal and matching nuclear-regional force, as it is by all standards, it can offer solace to the smaller countries of South Asia as and when these smaller countries feel threatened by the regional bully Indian regime.
But will Pakistan assert for the benefit of the smaller countries of the region? That’s all.
