An Open Letter to the
Mask of Sangh Parivar
Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
The nation watching your shedding the crocodile
tears, sorry your performance is far superior to
the proverbial crocodiles' shedding tears, has become
a matter of routine by now. One wonders if as a
measure of complimenting you in your skills, crocodiles
themselves may adopt the term Vajpayee tears. Surely
the faculty of your alma mater, the RSS, are overwhelmed
with joy at the performance of one who can call
the Gujarat anti-Muslim Pogroms as a shame, a kalank,
one who can pretend so convincingly that he is disturbed
by the genocide of Muslims in Gujarat and is in
grief, while celebrations are on in his patriarchal
Parivar house. Incidentally your alma mater is also
complimenting itself for the ease and efficiency
with which Hitler's gas chambers have been given
more innovative adaptations in their Laboratory
of Hindu Rashtra, Gujarat.
How else does one explain the utter silence, apathy
and just a mild reprimand, if at all, to The Chief
Minister of Gujarat, another fellow swayamsevak,
who is brusquely claiming his efficiency in controlling
the riots in 72 hours, when even after three weeks,
Gujarat is continuing to burn? How else can one
explain your not being able to find time for so
long to wipe the tears of the haggard community
whose back is being broken by destroying their source
of livelihood? How else can one explain utter and
total disregard in providing any relief to a community
battered and butchered in the most heinous crimes
ever committed in India?
One keeps being reminded of your frame of mind
in these situations. You must be constantly memorizing
your Shakha Bible "We or our nationhood defined",
where your Guruji gives instructions about dealing
with the 'internal threats to the Nation' a la Germany
which preserved its 'Nationalism' by wiping out
the minorities in a physical way. You are not a
good product of Shakha for nothing, you do remember
the instructions given to you very well.
Except for those who have been gullible enough
to be impressed by your 'shows ' of being a 'good
man', most of us have seen your mask slipping too
often and seeing your real face as a 'swayamsevak',
willing to pay any price to uproot the democratic
values, wanting to pursue the agenda of Hindu Rashtra.
One remembers the times of Babri demolition when
you were supposed to be uncomfortable etc. and later
the ease with which you asserted that this is what
happens if the sentiments of majority are ignored
for long. We also recall your call for national
debate on conversions in the wake of anti-Christian
attacks. We also recall your joy of being amongst
your clan in Staten island in the dollar land and
declaring your privilege of being a swayamsevak.
We know where your real loyalties lie. We come to
know at such occasions that it is not Indian 'Tan
Man' (body and soul), which you are proud of but
it is 'Hindu Tan man Hindu Jeevan', (Hindu soul
and body; Hindu Life), which keeps you ticking.
It is at those times that your true credentials
are reemphasized to your own ideological kith and
kin, and your worth and importance to the 'peddlers
of hate', the Sangh Parivar, becomes more obvious.
Your gentleness is projected to trap the power
hungry allies like Fernandes, Mamata or Paswans
into the net of NDA, which is a ruse to keep strangulating
the plural culture and democratic ethos of the country.
We remember that you fed Khichdi to the greatest
Kar sevak turned Ram sevak of the present epoch,
the one who 'used' Lord Ram to collect votes and
bring your party to power, Mr. Advani. And later
he duly complimented not only your ability to cook
the Khichadi but also realized your indispensability
to lead the Maha-khichadi coalition. He realized
your capability and potential of creating secular
illusions by genuine sounding expressions while
hiding the iron claws of Hindutva in the maze of
brilliant oratory. And correctly he proposed your
name for the Prime Minister-ship, while he was in
a position to nominate himself for this top slot.
But he knew better and you were anointed to lead
the Mahakhichadi. Many a components of this Mahakhichadi,
which you are using to spread the Secular aroma,
had to use your name, 'good man in a bad party'
etc. so that they could shamelessly plunge to enjoy
the spoils of power while dumping their old principles
and values.
You in your majestic style have since been making
most of the 'correct' noises to ensure that they
are kept in good humor while your Parivar members
can keep digging at the democratic, plural and composite
roots of our Nation, can keep harassing the minorities
one after the other to implement the hidden agenda,
which any way is not so hidden by now, of Sangh
Parivar in a subtle and manifest way.
If at all there is some RSS sponsored 'Hindutva
Ratna' award you do deserve it many times over.
Nothing has proved it more than the present Gujarat
carnage being done right under your nose when you
are busy touching the feet of mahants and acharyas
and making the show of weeping into your handkerchief
for the 'kalank' of Gujarat. The 'beauty' of your
'kalang strategy' is to kill many birds with a one
or two 'touching words', literally so. While your
Parivar member, Modi is getting kudos from all the
Khaki knickerwallahs, whole nation is watching helplessly
the crimes against the humanity, crimes of commission
and proactive omissions. Your coining of terms of
sorrow, one after the other is enough to keep your
'conscience' clear of the failure in doing your
constitutional duties of providing security to the
people of this country. But any way, deep in your
heart you know you are doing no wrong, as swearing
by this constitution is another play acting, as
you know that this constitution is based on 'western
values' so should be scrapped, (as your boss Sarasanghchalak
Sudarshan enunciated so clearly), and the one based
on Hindu Dharma Granthas has to be brought in. What
better Hindu values we need with one of your alma
mater killing father of the Nation for his sin of
pampering the minorities and another one supervising
the Anti-Muslim pogroms in such a 'competent' fashion.
Fortunately for you, the swayamsevak colleague doing
his 'patriotic' duty in Gujarat is doing such a
'brilliant' job in your Laboratory of Hindu Rashtra
that you just have to silently clap while shedding
the crocodile, nay Vajpayee tears, for the horrific
violence, which is shaking most of the nation barring
you and your Parivar.
May Lord Ram bless you for providing oratorical
velvet cloak to the Trishul shaped dagger of your
own Sangh Pativar.
Sincerely
An Enraged Indian
