Peter Manuel's ‘Cassette Culture’ showed the booming Bhakti music during the '80s and '90s when Anoop Jalota, Gulshan Kumar achieved success by singing the sanitised Bhajans.
Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
BJP government won 305 + seats in 2019 to do CERTAIN JOBS FIRST – Let it begin and bring justice to crores and crores of aam admi; RSS started acting as if opposition party in parliament. Educated RSS pracharaks includind Mohan Bhagvat ji should be invited to Ministers’ bunglows for Bhajia Party and give them some work – namely, ask how you will solve Ram Mandir Temple issue when it is in Supreme Court… Then, tell Sadhu- Bavas to pressure Judges to expedite (if they can); or shut up. Govt. has so many works to do—which are possible.
I agree with Narendra Modi ji…. 2019 election won on his name; not Bhagvat ji or BJP’s name. Try on other’s and see what happens (in coming elections).
India started on good foot, let it work and no jealousy…. other parties will play all kinds of dirty tricks, UPA had collected big funds for that. Looks like, RSS and some BJP dissatisfied elements are for sale again ?? RSS should try to give justice to Sadhvi Pragnya case…. Somebody is putting monkey wrench everywhere. Can it work in NEW INDIA anymore? Let us see. Kanubhai Jadav, P.E
BJP must construct temple ,Remove 370 and 35A as they got majority this time . If these things are not done , people will be highly disappointed and trust with BJP will be totally broken and faith with the party will go away . It will be biggest blunder in the history of BJP and people will understand that BJP fooled them for gaining power. Hope BJP will take not of it .
BJP and RSS is part like two hands of the body. While both are independent, both work in synchronisation and cannot live without the other. While bjp has modi as an charismatic leader, who has mass appealing due many factors, if the party assume that the party has won only because of him, is very wrong.
If BJP, do not nurture leaders in sequence, like kanchi sankaracharya matt, people will sway from it. It should remember that, public have started accepting bjp due to its organisational setup of different strata of people unlike family oriented and single leadership parties. It should groom and promote strong ethical youths to lead for next generations. The deliberate attempt to weaken Hinduism for so long years has given support and strength to both RSS and BJP. While RSS has ensured at grassroot level, BJP has ensured and must ensure that due respect is given to good and patriotic citizens of other religions. RSS & BJP must interchangingly act like a father and mother for the country – sometime lovingly, sometime strictly, some passionately, without breaking and leading the family(country) to prosperity.
RSS had tirelessly worked to ensure that BJP come to power. Surely, this trend will be repeated in 2024 also, if citizens problems are addressed immediately and effectively. Kashmir must be integrated with the mainland without bothering about naysayers, so that the prosperity once again come to the lap Kashmir people.
Most importantly, BJP must use RSS’s big organisational capability to finish lawlessness happening, off-late across the country, whether it is on the road or land grabbing, drug peddling and arson of religious places.
Was there no RSS in 2004 & 2009? L K Advani was also a strong RSS man but lost convincingly. New India is not impressed by RSS ideology. People were impressed by Modi’s commitment to the development of the country and his capacity to fulfil it. RSS was men power supplier. That is why Modi won inspite of RSS baggage. Advani could not shed the image of RSS man and lost.
This is Hindustan n Why should the RSS not prod the present Government. After all the Ram Temple in Ayodha is what every Hindu in the Country wants.
I was just listening to a Rhodes Scholar, who pointed out how the English have written our History books according to what they want the Indians to perceive. It is sad that a lot of Kings who have been a part of our great country have been left out of our History Books.
It is time we rewrote the real Contribution made by those Kings n Rulers to our Great Country.
Let a Historian rewrite our History n let the future generations learn that History in our Text Books, not the Crap that is printed now by the Britishers.
First we lived with history that was written by the British and then by the leftists (Marxists in particular). In both cases there was large scale falsification. However, the problem in rewriting a much more accurate and balanced version of history is the lack of historical scholars who are able to do it. In the past, the old style BJP scholars were the type who would make claims like “Taj Mahal was built by Hindus”. These ludicrous claims were a great disservice and were ready fodder for the left to pounce on. In the last 70 years, it wasn’t just that the history was falsified but also all research was slanted. So there are very few scholars who learned alternative perspectives of history. It will take a generation to remedy the situation and to present an alternate perspectives that are backed up by scholarship and research.
The analysis of RSS and BJP is one sided. What about ayaram law makers from other parties inclusion in BJP, nay congress janta party? The tented lawmakers r freely given entry in BJP but also appointed as ministers (recently in goa and earlier in Maharashtra). Is RSS acceptance about this policy leads to a tented BJP?
First of all RSS is a cultural organization and not a political one. If it wishes to dabble in politics then it has to get registered in election Commission. It can’t just give its persons to a political party officially.
Bhartiya Jansangh (the yester version of BJP) had been created by RSS to fullfil it’s political ambitions. Thus the RSS remains the creater and the created can never boost to become more important than the creater. Giving all the credits for everything to Modi ji too does not undermine the RSS since he himself had been a core Pracharak of the Sangh and later only migrated to BJP. As such, in that Modi ji himself is the representative of RSS in the govt. This is most basic difference between BJP and any other Political Party. Usually Political parties are first formed and the parties float other entities – cultural, educational etc to propagade to achieve it’s political agenda. In case of BJP it is just other way round and opposite. Here, the Party’s agenda is always meant to implement RSS ethos and there can not be any point in BJP’s agenda which would be in contrast to RSS professed ideology. This relationship is most important for BJP and the Party is always reminded of that. So much so that this dual membership issue became the core issue of fall of Janta Party govt and the then Janasangh preferred seeing falling the govt than to compromise on this issue.
And fact remains that the entire RSS machinery works tirelessly in any election to ensure the party’s victory.
It even oversees the party’s student, youth, mahila, labour etc wings’ elections. The well spread geography of RSS and it’s ever dedicated cadre has always been very important for the Party for very effective compaigning. It has very deep and dedicated base of intellectuals and it’s cadre is present in almost all institutions – of State and otherwise too. This is an edge for BJP which is now visible to critics everywhere since BJP is in power. Otherwise, RSS members have always been present in state institutions and have been doing their bit to fullfil the ideology to the extent they could. There would always be certain differences between them to the extent of the compulsions of governance and administration but there can never be any difference on the core values and ehics of governance and administration.
In the face of this, what has happened in Goa or is happening in Karnataka or elsewhere in the country where the BJP has apparently opened its door wide open to welcome anybody from any political party so as to enhance it’s base and grab power – is something requiring deep mental exercise to articulate and analyse to conclude a theory. For, it is unquestionable that the RSS would compromise on its principle or allow BJP to do so. This gives the only analogy the the BJP would only use these infiltrators and would never allow them to enter their inner circles. They would only be welcomed to the extent they remain the arms to achieve their goal.
One must not loose sight of the fact that Modi ji has been a crude RSS man, who left everything to become it’s Pracharak and dedicated himself for it’s cause. He was never a party ticket seeker too and definitely, he never cherished the dream of occupying the Chair/s of power untill becoming CM. That the fact the power came to embrace him would not dilute his basic built and he would remain loyal to his basic home and innings.
Atal ji’s position was different. He had his compulsions of coalition having erratic partners like Jaylalitha and Mamata and thus didn’t have the luxury of being seen as a complete RSS man. But he too did often assert his RSS leanings and felt proud doing so.
Now BJP having successive thumping mandates would perhaps redefine it’s dedication and dependability on RSS ethos and RSS too on its part reevaluate it’s grip over the party, but undoubtedly would remain a guiding force for it.
The anti defections law it self had its own flaw. Speaker is always from ruling party this is the fist flaw there is no time limit for taking a decission this is second flaw third courts cannot interfere is third flaw with out resigning you can defect this fourth and so many who cared
The Print along with copartners like Wire, NDTV, is most disappointed lots on massive victory of BJP under leadership of Modiji, is now busy in weaving the designed stories finding holes in fabricating strained relationship between Modiji & RSS. This is not a new venture. Needless to recall that the a deep rooted bais media had also miserably failed to devide Vajpayee jee and RSS, with no avail. This time they should focus elsewhere to find out effective Opposition. People least ear to such stories.
Under the present circumstances the RSS has been reduced to merely a man power supplier by NM n AS combination. It is a different matter that no political party has delivered what they were supposed to do or expected to do. If this time also a brick if not added to Ram Temple then Hindu should realize that the both organization are making a fool of all Hindus. Considering the legal and political position that is what is going to happen. Then can RSS consider supporting Congress as was the perceptions post emergency and Balasaheb Deora was at the helm of affairs.
BJP Government must have 3 main issues to resolve and complete by enacting laws and constitution amendments.
1. Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir Construction.
2. Uniform Civil Code for all Citizens
3. Annexation of Kashmir
Water pipelines and gas chulhas are issues any other government will do.But, BJP government is re-elected only on the above 3 issues., which no other political party will do.
The RSS has devoted cadres all over the country. It must receive continuing, high quality feedback about what is happening, things like omen’s safety, general law and order, how households are struggling to protect their consumption basket. Many loyal supporters are traders, small businessmen, who have felt the One two punch of demonetisation and GST. These are issues where the Hindu – Muslim binary is not very salient, but if an economy of a country where 80% of the people are Hindus is in such deep trouble, that too is something the organisation should worry about deeply and convey its concerns and constructive suggestions to both party and government. One Ram temple in Ayodhya will not make India a happy, prosperous, powerful nation.
