This is the problem, can't address it without addressing democracy. In India, as in the US, politics is shaped by parties' interpretation of history. But the winners are determined by the masses instead of intellectuals, so history is also https://twitter.com/ShinBwhoa/status/1304854196173250560
determined by the masses. Needless to say, this is dangerous because masses are capricious and venal. They tend to follow people instead of principles. This was mitigated by them following Shivaji Mahraj, a man of exceptional integrity and devotion to Hinduism, until
Shiv Rajneeti became a way for parties to increase and justify their power. For this to end, we will need to have one and only one narrative about Shivaji Mahraj from the Hindutva PoV and have strict punishment for differing from it. But I'm glad this doesn't exist because as
things stand, Kangana or Modi would be a part of it.
Feature of democracy, not a bug. When Americans say that Jesus would be marching for George Floyd and you are using the same institutions in India, don't be surprised when people say Kangana is like Rani Laxmibai. https://twitter.com/shadysaffronist/status/1305002369235574784?s=20
Masses have no concept of sacred naa, even in ancient times it were the Rishis and Kings who interpreted the divine and taught the masses. https://twitter.com/DetectiveBilla/status/1305007095796781057?s=20
Savarkar is another victim of this, we know that he didn't ask for mercy but masses don't care about the truth as long as they get to be in power. https://twitter.com/DrINCsupporter/status/1304858284126474240?s=20
