Whose kursi is it anyway?

By Dr Pravin Togadia

In no developed nation is there any system that degrades the majority to care for minority or destroys majority’s businesses, land or monuments for making some fancy fly-overs, IT parks, vast roads and shining malls. It is a must to protect the interests of majority in a democracy as the candidates are declared ‘won’ or ‘lost’ on the basis of more or less votes.

When we were in school and when children would not spend most playtime on computer games, there used to be a very popular game. It was called sangeet kursi (musical chair). There used to be many chairs at the beginning and as the time passed one by one a chair and a player were eliminated. At the end of the game there used to remain one chair and two contenders. No, I am not trying to be nostalgic (as many political netas keep on becoming these days on TV channels, and in books and articles) about my childhood games. But watching the daily increasing number of the contenders for Prime Minister’s post, anyone would recall the game of musical chair. It does not matter whether that contender is self-proclaimed or artificially projected by media or a vested-interest group or sponsored or officially announced or a sheer day-dreamer. The fun of this daily increasing number of PM contenders is that even the serious contenders are no more being taken seriously by the general public.

On a serious note, it is immaterial who becomes the PM of Hindustan. It is more important to explore what his/her ideology is. Individual does not and should not matter when it comes to the vast nation and the largest democracy like Hindustan. Having said that what must be the pointers Hindustanis should look for in their PM?

1.The kursi of Hindustan’s PM henceforth must belong to the ideology that cares for and protects Hindus. There is a fashion these days (even among those who grew because of the above ideology) to simplify and label such statements as communal or orthodox or anti-development. In no developed nation is there any system that degrades the majority to care for minority or destroys majority’s businesses, land or monuments for making some fancy fly-overs, IT parks, vast roads and shining malls. It is a must to protect the interests of majority in a democracy as the candidates are declared ‘won’ or ‘lost’ on the basis of more or less votes. In Hindustan, Hindus are a majority (whether those so-called pseudo-secular netas and those who showcase themselves as Hindu face but keep in mind ‘hate Hindu ideology’ like it or not). Therefore, the PM’s kursi in Hindustan has to belong to the political party that truly believes in the above ideology and it shows in the behaviour of each of its members.

2.There is a serious risk of betrayal if the Hindustanis do not keep a permanent watch over the party they choose based on the above ideology. The risk of misleading Hindus while taking votes on promises of things which Hindus have been waiting for a long time but when in power, ignore those for some fuzzy excuses. Such parties take Hindu votes for granted and try to add Muslim and Christian votes at the cost of hurting Hindu lives in the worst ways. Hindu voters must follow the ideology test strictly and should not be just trusting anyone based on their high pitch or fluent Hindi/English speeches or TV/newspaper advertisements or sponsored TV interviews or flashy websites. Hindus have a bigger responsibility in all elections of not repeating mistakes as they may not get more time to protect themselves considering the jehadi plans of many neighbouring and far-away nations, considering the Obama types who are daily threatening to throw out Indians in US and affecting Indian businesses even in India (do not forget that in the past eight months 18 Hindu students/executives have been murdered in the US but no Hindustani political party said a word on it or did anything to get US government to act). Time is running out for Hindus. This is a ‘now or never’ situation. The 26/11 attack, destruction of over 300 temples in a state in Hindustan, the Sachar Committee, media trials of Hindus in Kandhamal, Malegaon, Gujarat, West Bengal, etc, are the wake-up calls. Therefore, Hindus have a responsibility to choose a political party with the Hindu-caring ideology and not to get misguided by false, glittering attitude and daily press conferences that shout loudly but are hollow: OK, you gave us votes, now you need development only at the cost of your Hindutva. It is high time Hindus stood up to such selfish logical fallacies. Hindutva and development must go hand in hand and not either/or.

3.How would a Hindu voter know that he/she is not being cheated again? Look for a Hindu score card. If your candidate or PM contender scores minimum 75 per cent of it then he/she is the candidate for you. Here are the pointers:

1.When he/his party came to power has he anytime kept the commitment given to you about any work related to Hindu care? (Availability of education, jobs and work for Hindus, loans to Hindus, agriculture facilities for Hindus, protection of Hindu monuments, temples, cows and land). So also, has he ensured that he protects Hindu traditional businesses like diamond, textiles, agriculture, etc or in the name of development, has he neglected/destroyed them?

2.Is he consistent with what he said and did about the things that matter to Hindus? (Safety and security from jehadi threat, from forced conversions, correct implementation of human rights protection even for Hindus, etc).

3.Has he specifically selected efficient, deserving and capable Hindu officers for the senior jobs in army, CISF, CRPF, police and other forces so that Hindu majority can be protected or to show himself secular he has ignored Hindus and got others for such jobs ignoring such people’s Hindu-hurting track record?

4.Does his behaviour show true respect to Hindu sentiments or does he use Hindu emotions for his political purposes conveniently? (Filing of affidavits in various courts in the matters of Hindu interest like Rameshwaram Ram Sethu, Amarnath, officers who gave their lives to protect Hindus from jehadis, unrests among Hindus stemming out of attacks triggered by Muslims where many Hindus die—Has he ensured justice to Hindus in such cases or has he put Hindus behind the bars instead of punishing the real attackers?)

5.Finally, ask your own mind and heart: Can you really trust him to be Hindustan’s Prime Minister either based on his past track record or on his party’s track record?

Each question above has 20 marks. Total is 100. You give the marks of your choice based on your true experience and not based on media stories or party pressure or advertisements or big hoardings or flashy websites. If your score crosses 75 per cent, then only he/she is the right candidate to be Hindustan’s PM any time. Otherwise, No.

Hindustan’s voter is not a herd to be herded by fuzzy figures, survey gimmicks or fancy make-overs. Today’s Hindustani voter knows that he cannot trust those who have ‘kursi fever’. The world now may have swine fever or H1N1 virus. In Hindustan, we are watching many netas have got kursi fever. Remember, such netas are dangerous to the nation’s health. What are the verbal symptoms of kursi fever? Beware of such sentences and behaviour:

1. “On this nation’s resources, the first right is of Muslims.”

2. “I have not done anything for the majority and I will never do anything for the majority.”

3. “Anybody speaking against 17 per cent of Muslim bhais, I will run roller on his chest.”

4. “We could have done many things for Hindus as we promised but what to do? We did not get full majority.”

5. “So what if he is a convict of killing Hindus, he is a messiah.”

6. “To form a government, we are ready to tie up with anybody. Even a party with one MP is OK, we will go with them.”

7. “So what if he did kill lakhs of Hindus in 1947-48, he was secular.”

8. “Banks should reserve 15 per cent loans for the Muslims because they are 15 per cent of the population.”

These are only a few sentences. Alert Hindus know many more such sentences and meanings of the same. What are the behavioural symptoms of kursi fever? Anybody, including media even casually asks such people whether they would be the PM in 2009 or 2014 or 2019. These people may deny by their tongue but one can make out the joy and glitter in their eyes (in Hindi, one can say, jaise unke muh me laddu fut rahe ho!) Beware of such kursi fever patients! All these are the enemies of ideology and Hindus.

Anyone who thinks, says or/and behaves that proves ‘all are equals but some are more equal than others’ surely has kursi fever and this virus is spreading fast in Hindustan in all political parties.

The PM’s kursi in Hindustan has four legs. Those who overtly or subtly show their love for ¼th of the population and ignore ¾th Hindu majority would be trying to sit on a one-legged broken chair with three legs unstable. Hindustan needs a stable, Hindu-majority, caring PM—truly caring, not just a facade. Hindustani PM’s kursi must belong to such a party/organisation and its true, honest and sincere representative.
