Has Lal Krishna Advani Just Saved India From a Fascist Future?
If L K Advani of the Indian political opposition BJP has done any favour to the ruling UPA alliance, it was his consistent attack of Dr Manmohan Singh, depicting him as a weak Prime Minister. Advani's strategy however backfired in the last election, because a lot of Indian's didn't buy his insinuation.
Now , L K Advani has proved, by his recent political flip flops, how he himself could be the weakest Prime Minister India can have, if he is ever elected, reminding everyone of his inherent lack of character and moral strength.
After all no one has forgotten how, Advani, as Indian Home Minister had sent back terrorists in Indian prison to Pakistan, succumbing to a terrorist highjack of an Indian flight.
Despite all that, in a way, L K Advani might have transformed himself to be the saviour of secular India by his obstructive politics, fully aware and conscious of the ultimate repercussions of his political moves, first by ostensibly skipping the Goa conclave of his party and then by resigning from key positions.
By ostensibly declaring the elevation of UP Chief Minister to a campaign position which has never existed in Indian Politics with great hoopla, the BJP has chosen Narendra Modi as the next Prime Minister of India, if elected to power.
Despite pretences to be otherwise, even novices in politics can see through the ploy of BJP. However they wrongly assume Modi is India a la fashion "Indira is India" clamour of the era of Prime minister Indira Gandhi.
By failing to recognise the looming danger of fascism cloaked in the religious movement of Hindutwa, the BJP leaders have shown themselves to be a lot without real moral strength.
In many ways, Mr Advani and Mr Modi, leader and follower-turned-adversaries, mirror each other: both are hard line and polarising leaders of their own generations. Only now, one appears to be ranged against the other, and at stake is the future of the BJP.
They have all, including L K Advani, succumbed to the power of Hindutwa, loaded out in votes by its owner and disposer RSS, a political set up disguised as a religious body, to which each of them has politically mortgaged their integrity and independence.
Though ostensibly the clamour is against Narendra Modi, who can't recognise the damage he does to himself and the Indian political balance by his demeanour and pronouncements, the real villain and danger is the agenda of RSS.
In fact, by creating several hurdles to prevent the investiture of Narendra Modi as secular India's prime minister by RSS, albeit to leave another chance for himself to usurp the position, Advani has, at least for now saved India from the turmoil of a few fascist years and bloodshed that is bound to ensue.

Omar Abdullah: "If his opinion didn't matter to you yesterday why is his resignation a crisis for you today?"The recent political drama enacted by Advani and his party men, who first ignored him by huddling up in Goa without him and falling at his feet next day, has exposed their moral and intellectual bankruptcy.

The Big Indian Fascist Farce of Fasting
Why is it then people, who have
no track record of generating national wealth of even one rupee, are able to
hold India to ransom by the farce of self denial of food? A farce India
should be truly ashamed of because pathetic emaciated human carcasses nearly
dying of hunger stalk the busy streets of its cities, completely ignored by its
speeding upward class.
Mahatma Gandhi invented fasting
as a tool to fight against a cause; to send the British occupiers back home. He
knew that he can get millions of hungry
people to realise fasting can kill the only leader they have to stand up to the British and they
have no choice but to stand behind him. But even he discovered its limitation
when it took several days of fasting before a national indebtedness towards him
for getting rid of the British, just about worked to stop the sparring Hindus
and Muslims and bring about a feeble truce.
But none of the declarations
to fast which have been recently made in fast succession, including the
latest one by the Gujarat Chief Minister Modi seemed to be worthy of a death
by food deprivation, in a country where
people die of hunger as a routine and least of all worthy of causes like the
one stated by Modi.
"The
mission is to unite, not divide. Gujarat is my family, the six crore Gujaratis'
happiness and grief, dreams and aspirations is mine”
What makes the farce of fasts even more despicable is the fact that
they are merely motivated by easy publicity abetted by topic hungry media who
is willing to put up any story as long as they get the eye balls and ratings
and conducted with exorbitant five star comforts and security to get maximum
footage for the event.
But the real danger seems to the
creeping in of hidden fascist elements in the whole process. Gandhi’s fast had not even a remote semblance to the fascist
elements which seem to be the driving
force behind the fasting farce of post
Gandhi era.
Whether it is an ex military truck driver who runs a village through its own court where whipping by an army belt may be the right punishment or a physical Guru who is an epitome of manly strength and wants to build an army of armed supports but had to be whisked away from Police in a woman’s garb by women or a chief minister who had to be reminded by the country’s prime minister that he can’t act Like A Nero in a burring Rome, it looks like there are serious and disturbing fascist strains in the veins of the proponents of modern fasting In India.

The definition fascism include:
“ radical, authoritarian nationalist political ideology
that seeks the mass mobilization of a nation through indoctrination, physical education,
to purge forces, ideas, people, and systems deemed to be the cause of decadence and degeneration, and to produce their nation's
rebirth based on commitment to the national community based on organic unity,
in which individuals are bound together by suprapersonal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood.”
It may be worthwhile to
examine which of these characteristics
fit each of them
