It is funny when some people here start celebrating as soon as there is even a hint of discontent, portraying it as the beginning of the end of BJP. BJP is not going anywhere anytime soon, and even if it does, the radicalization of the majority is here to stay. Thread 1/n
What we are witnessing in the form of BJP's electoral victory is just the tip of the iceberg. This is the result of a 100-year old social engineering movement, a dedicated and focused hate machinery, which has successfully convinced the majority that "the other" is an enemy. 2/n
They have been successful because there was a scope to be successful. The State always looked the other way in their case, partly because some of them held powerful positions within the State from the beginning, and partly due to the fear of public backlash. 3/n
Their biggest success came from the warm welcome they received by the majority for their hateful propaganda. They focused on raising people dedicated to their ideology who would firmly believe in their hateful narrative and carry it forward wherever they go. 4/n
They did not have to attempt to enter into active politics, it was to be just the by-product of their narrative building. People trained by them would become NRIs, Doctors, Engineers, Bureaucrats, Politicians, and it would benefit them anyway. 5/n
If you want to defeat this ideology, you can not depend on the people queueing up for bank notes, or the people walking barefoot, or Rafale scam, or the Farmers. The problem is not political. The problem is social, and the solution has to be social too. 6/n
The solution can be provided only by the majority. Because no external entity has the power to socially change a society for good. That desire to change has to come from within the majority. A social movement offering a counter narrative within the majority is needed. 7/n
That social movement must cover every aspect of the lives of the majority. It must answer the deeper questions of life. Unless that is done, you can expect party A to replace party B without any real change in the mindset of the people, without any social change. 8/8 - End -
