The Hinduistic Paradox in Modern India
The term 'hindu terror' was a construct originated by the former Congress party, a label subsequently circulated by secular individuals, many born into Hindu families from upper castes, whose daily slanders on television have effectively erased decades of nuanced discourse.
This essay aims to dissect the intricate layers of this identity-eroding tactic, bringing to light the irony of being held accountable for the rights of foreigners on indigenous soil. Despite Hinduism's deep roots in India, with its numerous temples, traditional pilgrimage sites, and the revered city of Varanasi, the narrative woven by some continues to pit the long-standing Hindu community against its own land.
The Collective Trauma of India
The discourse around religious violence and lynchings has overshadowed the very real dangers faced by native Hindus. Massive ethnic cleansing and displacement of indigenous populations bring to light a significant blind spot in contemporary conversations. How can someone who was once part of the very fabric of this land be deemed a threat when they were historically the protectors and builders of their own homeland?
The question looms: who exacting violence and propounding this narrative on innocence of strangers while those most connected to the soil face systematic discrimination and marginalization?
Religious Texts and Mythical Constructs
Reviewing sacred texts fails to support the idea that any scripture b?cmouths any other faith or its practices. Yet, this very absence of vilification is often overlooked in the ongoing narrative of a supposed threat. The trust between an individual and their home must extend beyond the perceived need for proof of non-threat, the burden of which was unfairly placed on those who struggle to articulate their belonging in their own land.
The Deep State: A Modern Ecosystem of Control
The concept of the Deep State raises questions about the true nature of governance and power in the United States. Similar to the collective intelligence of a beehive or an ant colony, the Deep State operates with a shared purpose and a mindset that views American military and economic power as extensions of their own interests. Key figures and institutions, often stemming from the same social and educational backgrounds, operate in a coordinated manner to maintain the status quo.
David Talbot's book, The Devil's Chessboard, provides a compelling illustration of how the American intelligence state has evolved over the years. Through meticulous documentation, he uncovers patterns of covert and overt support for regimes that align with their interests, despite the detrimental consequences for the affected countries and populations.
Exposing and Refuting Conspiracy Theories
The idea of the Deep State is not just a theoretical concept but a pervasive influence that shapes policies and cultural narratives. By understanding the roots of power and how it is maintained, individuals can better navigate their place in society and demand accountability from those in positions of influence.
Both the plight of indigenous Hindus in India and the concept of the Deep State highlight the importance of challenging heuristics and questioning the narratives that govern our lives. As citizens, it is crucial to awaken to the reality of our socio-political structures, recognizing that the only land we have is the one we collectively steward.
