Quick recap of the thread in Kannada

- Role of Karnataka in #AyodhyaRamMandir
- How KA is different to other southern counterparts (in 80s 90s)
- How KA has always been part of the movements at national level
- How KA is aligned with R.S.S & B.J.P https://twitter.com/v2l2b2/status/1291070938805673989
I have been away from Twitter for few days but one thought kept bothering me

Will TN ever vote a national party? Will TN muster courage to vote BJP?

Here is me expressing my own observations

The fact that I have to wrap myself around with so many caveats goes to show ...
As of 2020

There are 0 BJP MLAs MPs

What’s stopping? Who is stopping? Problems according to me

1. AIADMK, DMK, Misc REGIONAL parties

It has unfortunately become a polarised fight down in TN between AIADMK & DMK

BJP is supporting AIADMK- As a BJP supporter this Should stop
2. Temple movements

There are more movements, there are more groups, there are more independent Hindu affiliated movements in TN than in any other states in India

They all do a stupendous job

BUT they are the very ppl who is stopping BJP from coming to power
From an outsider you’d feel why are these groups not supporting R.S.S or why ain’t they not a chapter of main stream RSS programmes?

The scope of these movements sadly has geographical fencing I.e limited TN boundaries
The scope/objectives of these “temple movement activists” doesn’t work if the scope is outside TN

In Software Development parlance - we could call this “HIGHLY PLATFORM specific and NON PORTABLE”

Worst part these “temple activists” like it this way ie. REGIONAL
Best example of this temple activists getting it wrong outside TN is #IndicCollective .. TR Ramesh & Sai Deepak gang

They tried to bundle their activism, legal acumen on Temple affairs in Karnataka & Uttarakhand - they failed

They are casting aspersions on R.S.S & B.J.P
Looks like the intention of these “ACTIVISTS” is limited to showing R.S.S in poor light

Another hyper-outrage movement is RECLAIM TEMPLES

I have no idea if the origins is in TN but they like Indic have got their objective wrong as far as “building the nation” is concerned
3. The end game is not NATION BUILDING

R.S.S end game has always been NATION building

The harshest critics have accepted its good for the country

Whilst in TN the movements or the new WAVES 🌊 are not giving any hopes be it Indic or reclaim temples
TN DHARMICS are quite proud and open about their DHARMIC roots

However, they are surfing these small new waves 🌊 in TN

They have to go the deep end of the ocean I.e., make “NATION BUILDING” mainstream
For that DHARMICS have to
- Shun “negative regional jingoistic pride”
- work with “Plain Vanilla Organic Hierarchical R.S.S orchestration”

DHARMICS are busy fighting DMK & voting AIADMK

Irony is Twitter DHARMICS demand accountability from RSS whilst they are the problem
4. Cult characters

Cult characters from cinema occupy more mind space in TN ppl than stories of SHIVAJI

The cult characters have to be from places across the India

Again goes back to “NATION BUILDING”
5. Anti Hindi/Anti Samskritha activism

This falls under “negative regional jingoism”

As soon as TN adopts 3 Language policy “NATION BUILDING” becomes mainstream & lends itself to bringing R.S.S
6. Twitter DHARMICS & Dr SS

Dr SS has never recognised himself as a TN politician but still Twitter DHARMICS from TN have a fan base for Dr SS

Again the reason could be the “amount of hyper-outrage” from Dr SS timeline

His timeline almost makes it feel problem is not in TN
7. BJP TN

Rubber stamps have been appointmented at the BJP TN state level

They are Good ppl but they ain’t political juggernauts

They don’t look like they can break the “regional bipolar contest in TN”

Almost like BJP at the centre is ceding space for AIADMK
To conclude :

What TN needs is

- splintered Dharmic groups to come together
- they have to give up their negative regional jingoistic pride
- nation building should become the goal
- accepting nation building as the anthem under RSS/BJP banner

Otherwise TN will never have BJP
