Secular India- Born: 15^th August 1947.  Died: 22^nd January 2024

Cause of death: MURDER by bigoted Hindutava fanatics who hated the very idea of its existence and slowly but steadily poisoned its children and guardians with a potent of supremacy of their own God & culture and hate towards anyone dissenting including all other religions, especially Islam.

Murderers in public eye: Savarkar, Hedgewar, Mukherjee, Godse, Golwalkar, Advani, Singhal, Togadia, Modi, Yogi,….

Behind the scenes murderers- US- the ordinary people and the ANIMAL within most of us, which treats our religion, our way of life, our culture, our traditions as ‘SUPERIOR’ to others and will go to any length to establish that supremacy.

22^nd January 2024 marks a day when a structure of destruction and hate, called Ram temple emerges from the ashes of a 16^th century Masjid which existed for almost five hundred years and was destroyed and broken down in broad daylight by thousands of Hindutava fanatics on 6^th December 1992, cheered by a mob of millions watching from the sidelines on their Television screens. This is not just a product of sheer hate and bigotry which existed in many minds for decades but also a symbol of emergence of ‘Hindutava’ rule in India in the last decade. Especially the last five when with total control of both houses of the Parliament under the new Czar, Narendra Modi, a destructive force was unleashed with all its fury to destroy any and all guardians of an inclusive India and ensure that this hateful, divisive structure is given a legal and social framework.

As Hindutava zealots rejoice today in India and worldwide at the birth of a new nation, a HINDU RASHTRA where in the name of their God they can carry out all crimes in open and get away with it, sanity dies a thousand deaths.

This Hindu Rashtra is a place where if you are a Muslim or a Christian, you have to fearfully avoid practicing your faith or way of life in a public place lest it catches the eyes of a hateful Hindu majority while looking away when the majority, aided by the state itself, in its full might celebrates the dominance of Hindu religion in all walks of life.

This Hindu Rashtra is a place where you can be lynched to death, your houses bulldozed and your families destroyed even if an iota of doubt is established on your eating habits by any crook out on the street masquerading as the guardian of Hindu religion and the cow mother. It is a different thing that the same Patels and other ‘proud’ Hindus run the largest numbers of Subway, Pizza and Burrito stores worldwide, especially in USA/UK/Canada and serve beef and pepperoni with delight to their patrons.

This Hindu Rashtra is a place where media, administration, judiciary, government, elite- any and every institution which was supposed to protect democracy and dissent has not only bent but crawls in the presence of their mighty Hindu King, who has captivated their minds with his neo-Nazi Hindutava ideology, one which ensures that they feel powerful and privileged to be able to establish ‘their’ way of life over lesser citizens.

And coming to this new King of modern India, Narendra Modi, a bigoted, vengeful and hateful man, the original ‘Butcher of Gujrat’ who provided full administrative support to hundreds of religious zealots who murdered thousands of Muslims in Gujrat in 2002, he has moved away from being just an ordinary political figure to a God like figure for his blind supporters- the Andh bhagats.

He is not just the new G.O.D. of the modern world- ‘Greatest of dictator’ but a God himself for millions of his followers worldwide. An Avatar or an incarnate of the God in the new age called ‘Kal-Yug’.

Today I understand the real meaning of Kal-Yug- a period where falsehood, hate and deceit hold power. It is therefore apt that the God of Kal-Yug will only be the evil incarnate himself and will signify and portray the worst of mankind and bask in its glory. Modi not only fits the bill but makes all other evil emperors sound amateur in his presence.

Today under his tutelage, the evil, the rich and the corrupt control all walks of life in India. But what is most degrading is that the moment a person comes under his patronage and dons the mantle of a ‘Hindu’ leader or a religious/spiritual Guru, that person can run havoc over ordinary people, abuse, threaten, even rape womenfolk and the lowly, maintain highflying lifestyles accumulated through all kinds of corrupt means and abuse, threaten and easily murder any dissenter.

22^nd January 2024 marks perhaps the biggest day in the lives of Modi and his Bhakht brigade. It is not a Ram temple as no true God can ever reside in that symbol of hate but will be remembered in the history of India as the MODI TEMPLE- one which transformed an ordinary human into the Kelki Avatar – the Devil incarnate.

Darth Vader will bow down to the new Fuhrer as the Hindu empire strikes back with vengeance and venom.

It is heart breaking but this is the reality of new India and neo-Nazi Hindu Indians or PIOs. For someone like me who is in the autumn of his life as the bonds with families and friends are broken, nay shred to pieces over this basic ideological difference of whether India should move forward hereafter as a Hindu nation or maintain any semblance of the constitutional secular spirit, it is a day or mourning today. I realize that I will have to live the rest of my life in a period where India, already dead on 22^nd January 2024, sees new depths of religious hate and bigotry as the Hindu nation rises.

The world is full of nations who have aligned to a specific religion or even deny the existence of religion for its people. We have for centuries accepted that as their reality, made peace with their existence and their way of life and co-existed amicably with most of them. Aryavratt, the Talibanised Hindu India is also something which the world will readily accept and perhaps many nations and people with similar traits may align more happily with.

As for people like me who believed in a secular, inclusive world where religion was a personal choice and would never be used to divide communities or made a symbol of hate, it is dark days ahead. A cul-de-sac!

But here ye hateful souls- Unlike thee, I will not surrender. I will not be muted. I will not bend to your new evil GOD Modi nor succumb to his ways.

You may rejoice today at this evil structure which will anoint Modi as the new emperor of neo-Hindus, worthy of praise and worship and yet, the resistance will continue to live and die for an India where the mornings started with the music of Azan and the evenings with the Aartis in the nearby temple.

India dies today but the dream of an inclusive India will continue to live in our hearts. Forever in this lifetime and beyond! Amen.
