“Ashamed at what Modi & his entire system is doing to the little girls.
But alas it was expected. After Dalits, Muslims, Sikhs, the next in line were women who would not bow down to their system and ways.
RISE NOW if you have shame & protect your daughters & sisters.”
I posted the above picture and the message on my regular social media sites i.e. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and it seems Instagram posted it automatically on another site Threads which I may have used only once or twice years back.
Looks like with Modi now using Instagram,his trolls and followers have migrated to those sites and use Threads more than Twitter. Maybe it’s because if you add what’s app too, it all falls in the Meta ecosystem which is widely used in India.
And as expected the trolls and the andh-bhakhts went on their usual abusive tirade against the girl and me within minutes to not just show their true nature but also prove the fact that all that forgiveness by Modi was a sham only to unleash his dogs and instill fear once again in the minds of the people who dared to speak out.
Since the time I started writing for Times of India in 2010 opposing Modi/BJP/RSS and till the time TOI allowed it to happen, I have faced choicest of abuses and slurs online, including the usual MC/BC from the “Sanskari” trolls and “Andh-Bhakths” who are one of the corner stones of the evil empire.
In Canada too over the last four years, I have faced choicest abuse and slurs from the Hindutava brigade in various Whats app groups, online on social media as well as in person when they became aware of my secular credentials and a dislike for the ways and means of Modi/BJP/RSS. The irony is that they started following me and interacting me because of my standing up all alone to Khalistanis when no one dared and then trying to build a movement in solidarity with India. At that time they called me as a true son of India. However when they realized my equal disdain for Modi and his Hindutava ideology, it took seconds for a “true son of India” to be labelled anti-national, a Hindu hater and a Pakistani agent!
Till date their one cell brain which only recognizes Modi as an Avatar of God and “Hindu-hryada samrat” only because he carries his bigotry and religious hate on his sleeves and uses it just at a drop of a hat on every single occasion; could never accept the fact that I oppose Khalistanis as well as the Hindutava brigade only because I and many like me, still believe in the idea of a secular, inclusive India.
Gen-Z truly exposed Modi when during the recent Jandar Matar protest they roared-
” Jab-jab Modi darta hai, Hindu-Muslim karta hai!”
Coming back to the topic over the last decade plus, I have faced and still face so much abuse and slur that for my own sanity and peace, I have had to develop a thick skin and let it stay out and not cause any damage inside.
BUT and that is the big BUT, what about that little 15 year old child Ruchika or hundreds like her who are facing so much hate and fear mongering directed towards them with no one to support as the entire eco-system including the government machinery is working to crush them and made a lesson for others?
How would they be coping? How will they face such brutality which is coming to them not just from strangers but almost the entire community where they live and interact?
It has been extremely difficult journey for me and I have lived every minute and every hour of it and my years of experience and perhaps clarity of ideology was my only light.
That is why I know that the the pain, the depression and the un-necessary guilt trip these children must be going through for making even their families face so much hate, must be hundred times worse.
And for what?
For standing up to Modi? For supporting children who are facing problems due to regular paper leaks which has taken away the belief in the system and has also caused many suicides?
The hypocrisy of this victim card being played by Modi and these perverts who over years have mastered the worst of abusive vocabulary and who now are acting “Sanskari” converts is mind boggling and would be laughable but for the actual pain and damage it is causing to the young children.
And what does the system and the Whats’s app university graduates and masters expect these children to do when they face tear gas, lathi-charge, even pellet guns and face a government which is deaf, blind and dumb?
Sing Bhajans and religious hymns? Or vent out in the ways they have learnt from Modi and his brigade itself!
So Narendra Modi and all your trolls, Andh-Bhakts and the entire media and machinery, listen once and for all.
Stop playing victim cards. No more nice words even after getting repeated abuses. You will harvest what you sowed and get ready for a new generation which will give back in the ways you have taught them over the last decade.
The young have risen and seen through your bigotry and hate campaigns and have spoken out. They will not rest and whatever you throw at them will not work, least of all your threats, your EDs, CBI, main stream media and the likes.
When fear is ruptured, the minds become free and that is what we can see in this new generation and the one to follow. At least amongst the educated.
And for the bright future of India, I sincerely hope that this time, the elders follow the little children and rise from their slumber.
One good thing that I saw on the above post on Threads is that while the comments were expectedly abusive, there were almost an equal number of likes! The comments are made by the bullies and trolls as they have had a long run and know that they can unleash fear by their words. But the likes are the silent ones who even in that little hint of support have given a clear message that they support the young children and that while they are still not able to gather courage to comment and speak out, yet they have taken a step forward by at least expressing their solidarity with the girl and the message.
That is a welcome, fresh start.
Gen Z perhaps you have awaken not just a generation but an entire nation!
It is time to MODIFY your popular jingle during the protest and I humbly do the same here-
” Chappan inch ka chotta bander,
Ab aaya hai tera number!”
Amen to that and may the “rotting acche din” of Modi end and we go back to our good old days of being ONE!
