Independent Bharat is yet to experience what Khudiram, Bagha Jatin, Rash Behari, Masterda, Netaji version of nationalism looks and feels like. Bengal's nationalism is like a Vesuvius in waiting.
India’s most popular leader, who entered the 2024 election dreaming of 400 seats, lost nearly 10% of his vote share at his own constituency, abruptly, without any organisational collapse or visible anti-incumbency.
This didn’t happen randomly. A "conditional" support base, one that supports power only in exchange for special privileges and constant political reassurance, shifted its voting pattern almost overnight, triggered merely by the narrative that “samvidhan badal diya jayega.”
The result was telling: Modi’s victory margin crashed from 4.8 lakh in 2019 to just 1.5 lakh in 2024. He sailed through because another group, the "unconditional" supporters, who ask little, defend fully, and absorb mistakes silently, held the fort. Imagine the historical embarrassment if 75,000 more votes had shifted toward Ajay Rai.
Now, the BJP has managed to alienate even this unconditional group. Their tolerance had a long rope, but even that has been breached. It won’t end too well for the party unless they make quick amends.
Dear MAGA,
Indian Hindus were the one immigrant group that supported "real" American values
They believed in education, setting up businesses
They didn't go on food stamps
They wouldn't go close to gangs, crime, drugs
This is the reason Indian Hindus were the one immigrant group despised by the American left
Unfortunately, in your wave of racist hatred, this is the one group you came after the hardest.
You know why? Because going after Indian Hindus was super easy.
Do you know why it was so easy?
Because American Hindus were despised by the same leftists you hate. So there was no institution to protect them from racism and xenophobia.
You deserve Comrade Mamdani, and his government run ration shops.
Enjoy!
