Fringe Mechanism derailing the Indian Nation Building Process (1)

Referring to cow vigilante groups running amok and killing alleged “cow smugglers, the non-arrest of a BJP MLA in Unnao after festering accusations of rape for more than a year, Kathua – where an eight-year-old girl was raped and brutally killed – and the protests led by some self-proclaimed Hindu groups against the J&K police were seen as the result of direct encouragement from the BJP leadership, etc;

Editorial Director, Swarajya, R Jagannathan had warned the govt led by PM Modi;

‘if you do not control the Hindu part of the agenda, the fringe will run away with it and define you. Seen in this sense, the efforts by Modi’s enemies to build a narrative of aggressive majoritarianism by the Sangh parivar are succeeding’ ; ‘ Kathua Lessons For Modi-Shah: If You Don’t Drive The Agenda, The Fringe Will’ ; https://swarajyamag.com/politics/kathua-lessons-for-modi-shah-if-you-dont-drive-the-agenda-the-fringe-will

 

Fringes both in pro-Hindutva & anti-Hindutva groups consciously or unconsciously compliment in their role of derailing the Indian Nation Building Process.  The complimentary role was enabled by the Fringe Mechanism of undue emotional exploitation of real, or/and distorted and unattended sectional grievances, weakening the rule of law. The fringe leaders successfully camouflage their selfish agenda with the mask of the emotional speeches, strengthening the fringe addiction of their foolish followers. In my observation the media focused ‘warriors of human rights & women rights’ so far did not probe into the TN fringe leaders’ corruption and sex related offenses, suggesting their complimentary link with the foreign funded NGOs. Most such ‘warriors’(?) were silent spectators, unwilling to risk the displeasure of the ‘powerful persons’ indulging in corruption and sex related offenses in the universities and colleges/offices they had served, or the places where they lived. The social insulation between the micro-world and the macro-world in TN, fool Amnesty International like world bodies to praise ‘such warriors’(?); unaware of the extra-constitutional powers of the fringe leaders over that of the TN govt, in 'silencing'(?) their critics, with the 'silent'(?) support of such ‘warriors’.

The massive mandate for corruption free development agenda in the last parliament elections, must have alerted both PM Modi & RSS to the complimentary role of the fringe mechanism, and curtailed the fringes in the pro-Hindutva groups. Instead what the country witnessed was the pro-active implementation of Newton’s Third Law in social action, by the fringes in the pro-Hindutva groups, strengthening the fringes in the anti-Hindutva groups. 

The fringes in the Tamilnadu anti-Hindutva groups, witnessed unbelievable growth, reversing below NOTA performance in the previous state elections to above NOTA performance in the RK Nagar by-election, while TN BJP slipped to below NOTA performance. Probably the failures in curbing the corruption of the Dravida parties even after the demonetarization, and ‘Dravida Lallus’ escaping punishments in the corruption cases, coupled with the fringes in TN BJP foolishly defaming mass leaders like ‘Periyar’ EVR & former TN CM C.N.Annadurai; all contributing to the strengthening of the fringes in the Tamilnadu anti-Hindutva groups, and weakening TN BJP to below NOTA level.

To understand the suicidal role of the fringes in TN BJP, one must know that prior to the Independence, the ‘Dravida Nadu’ separation demand of ‘Periyar’ E.V.R was supported by Rajaji ("We going to soon get the cooperation of my friend and comrade, Acharya (Rajagopalachari), for the separation of Dravida Nadu. Not only him, but all Brahmins ... are going to support our demand for separation"- Periyar EVR ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._R._formula );

and no wonder in the 1952 state assembly elections, the political parties supported by E.V.R won significant victories, depriving the majority to the Congress party to form the Govt. The national party congress by inducing defection, secured majority to form the government; a blow to the genuine nation building process in TN. Right from the 1957 state assembly elections till 1967, the TN Congress led by Kamaraj had E.V.R’s support. From 1967 till date, all India parties like Congress, BJP, Communist parties, were junior partners in the election front led by DMK or AIADMK. While TN BJP led front created a record of winning 2 MPs (BJP 1 & PMK1) without the support of both DMK & AIADMK, sailing on Modi wave during the last parliamentary election, TN BJP slipped to below NOTA in the RK Nagar by-election.

  

After the ‘mysterious’ death of former TN CM Jayalalitha & the sickness of the DMK leader M.Karunanidhi, casting a question mark on the future of the DMK & AIADMK, the  fringes in the Tamilnadu anti-Hindutva groups, started dominating in the political arena, as witnessed in the recent anti-IPL Cricket Matches in Chennai. Most of such fringe leaders, leading affluent lives, with no lawful transparent sources of income, alleged (in the social media) to be on the payroll of TN mafias related to granite, mineral sands, etc,

While the fringes in TN BJP indirectly helping the above process as mentioned above, the Tamil weekly ‘Thuglak’, in my observation, is challenging the nation derailing process of the above fringes in the anti-Hindutva groups; inducing a social nucleation process of consolidating the genuine nation building forces, cutting across the pro & anti-Hindutva barriers, to rescue TN, and in turn India.

The emotional speeches of the leaders like E.V.R & C.N.A, during the ‘growth phase’ of the DK & DMK, strengthened the fringe addiction of their foolish followers, to the extent of decrying mother tongue Tamil language and Tamil literature; probably for the first time in the world history of the fringe mechanism; causing the ‘mother tongue based identity loss’ in TN, which probably led to increased addictions, adventurism, depressions, suicides, etc, as social signals suggesting the dying of the Tamil language. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8311000/8311069.stm )

The following brief may help to understand the complications in the TN nation building process, to check the strengthening of the fringes in the anti-Hindutva groups, especially in TN.

‘All national parties seem to ignore the fact that, had 1857 India’s war of independence succeeded; India would be now under the rule of more than 50 kings.

The Indian nation building process, after the independence in 1947, was subordinated to the selfish interests of the ruling parties at the center, helping the regional chauvinistic parties to grow.

No wonder the state wings of the national parties like Congress, BJP, & communist parties, often in the opposite sides, in the inter-state water disputes like Cauvery, Mullai Periyar, etc, are just following the regional chauvinistic interests, instead of the national interests. Can these all India parties, with their state wings from the ‘rival’ states opposing each other in the inter-state disputes, claim themselves to be the ‘national’ parties, in the true sense?

Worse, the ruling parties at the center, indulged in ‘bribing, or cajoling, or threatening’ the regional party leaders, to serve the interests of the ruling party at the center. Even anti-corruption measures were used as a tool; as proved by the Sarkaria Commission against then TN CM M.Karunanidhi & subsequent withdrawal of the case, by then PM Indira Gandhi.

Unfortunately, BJP, by following the Congress style, is yet to focus on rescuing the derailed nation building process, the only option to prevent the future disintegration of the country.

Also, the role of corruption, exploiting both the real and distorted grievances, in the growth of regionalism, separatism and terrorism, interlinked by the foreign funded NGO activism, challenging the nation building process, deserves the urgent probe, followed by the viable, pro-human, remedial measures. 

In the above context, I like to share that I could discover the above complex mechanism, subjecting my previous association with the anti-Brahmin Tamilnadu separatist ideology of ‘Periyar’ EVR, the founder of the Dravidian movement in Tamilnadu; 

to the analysis in the light of my subsequent inter-disciplinary research findings, involving Physics, Music, ancient Tamil & Sanskrit texts, & Sociology. 

Did any ‘secular’ scholar like Romila Thapar, Arundhati Roy, etc bother to explore the above complex mechanism, even in their discussions ‘On Nationalism’ (mostly euro-centric imported version)? Can the role of the foreign funded NGOs, in derailing the nation building process, be ignored in such discussions? ('What is wrong with importing Euro-centric nationalism to India? A criticism on Romila Thapar’s ‘ON NATIONALISM’;
http://tamilsdirection.blogspot.com/2016/07/what-is-wrong-withimporting-euro.html)

The following news is just an example to understand the social mechanism, linking corruption with extremism;

‘MN is known for his pro-Tamil chants and secret funding to pro-Tamil groups in the state.   During the agitations in 2008 and 2009 against the Srilankan army - LTTE war, MN was found hobnobbing with pro Eelam groups so much so that he even participated in hall meetings and public rallies organised by the Pro-Tamil groups.’ ; http://whispersintamilnadu.blogspot.in/2011/12/sasikalas-ouster-m-natarajans-game-plan.html  . No wonder, if a probe revealed the active participation of many in the above groups, joining in, ‘all the evils flew out’, on the opening of the above mentioned ‘Pandora’s box’, following Rohith Vemula’s suicide.

Probably M.Natarajan, unaware of the elastic limit of exploiting the ‘pro-Tamil’ sentiments, to ‘camouflage’ the ‘unbelievable’ corrupt activities of the Sasikala Natarajan families, had crossed the limit, to ‘emerge’ openly as ‘Tamil Patron Leader’, by ‘inaugurating’ a monument for LTTE called ‘Mulli Vaikkal Mutram’, and was caught by the late TN CM Jayalalitha for conspiring against her, and was imprisoned. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thn5XgYFOvM  ).

Dravida party fringe mechanism succeeded in capturing TN power in 1967 & enslaved TN to the extent that ‘TN Lallus’, could escape punishments in the corruption cases.

While the founder of the Dravidian Movement ‘Periyar’ E.V.R, after 1967, expressed his wish to quit public life and become a ‘monk’ to then TN CM C.N.Annadurai , C.N.A also expressed his desire to the Communist leader P.Ramamoorthy, to die soon due to his inability to control his party-men indulging in corruption. Both of them died later. Instead of taking it as a lead to expose & isolate DMK, pro-Hindutva groups indulged in defaming both ‘Periyar’ EVR & C.N.Annadurai, only to get isolated politically, while pro-Hindutva was socially growing strong  in TN.

Unaware of the depoliticizing process in Tamilnadu, during the rule of the Dravidian parties, and consequent decaying of their ‘pro-Tamil’ ideological strength, TN BJP just travelled as a ‘tail’ to those parties, even to the extent of attending the above-mentioned inauguration, and Subramania Swamy openly supported the ‘imprisoned Sasikala’s Benami rule’ in TN. In my observation, TN is now ripe for the emerging of the non-dynastic ‘Shiva sena style’ ‘pro-Tamil’ political party, acknowledging the sacrifices of ‘Periyar’ EVR & C.N.Annadurai;

blaming the Nehru dynasty for their separation from the mainstream India;

and blaming the colonial conspiracy for their so called ‘anti-Brahmin’ track records;

as even their political enemies had not accused them of amazing wealth thru their contribution in the public domain. Godse’s assassination of Gandhi, which I disapproved, did not prevent me to acknowledge his patriotism and sacrifices.

In my view, during the last two years, Modi Govt’s performance in employing the soft power to weaken the separatist forces was disappointing. The soft power is a double-edged weapon w.r.t unifying, as well as, disintegrating a country like India. The above complex mechanism exploiting the corruption among the politicians and officials (in regionalism/separatism/terrorism infected states from Kashmir to Tamilnadu, especially after the rise of the late PM Indira Gandhi), by encouraging emotions to dominate over reason, weaken the soft power for ‘unifying the country’, while strengthening the soft power for disintegrating the country. Unless the invisible bond (aided by the above complex mechanism with  most of the foreign funded NGOs as the catalysts) between the soft power (probably exhibited in JNU, exploiting the bungling of the then HRM)  and the hard power ( probably, with the invisible bond in JNU-  now witnessed in Kashmir)  of the disintegrating forces (militants & terrorists,), are exposed and weakened, they may very well succeed in disintegrating India in not a very distant future; with the timing under the control of the dynamics of the world vested interests; with the weakening of all the ‘national’ parties except BJP & the corresponding strengthening of the regional parties. 'Nation Building' alone can ensure the internal strength for the stability of the country; instead of surviving at the mercy of the 'collective world vested interests', weakening the 'nation building process'.

Hence the above-mentioned probe into the complex mechanism is urgent to strengthen the soft power for unifying the country; thereby minimizing the role of hard power (army/police) for strengthening the unity of the country. Also unless the anti-corruption measures succeed in Tamilnadu, separatist and regional chauvinist forces will continue to thrive, strengthening the corrupt regional party leaders to loot Tamilnadu more, while  all the national parties including BJP will remain as the weak spectators/jokers; while TN natural wealth being looted, Tamil language medium dying even in villages, & most of the Tamils, including vice-chancellors and professors,  falling at the feet of the political leaders & losing their self-esteem to earn money, driving TN to become an intellectual and cultural desert.’ ;’ Is BJP aware of the derailing of the Indian nation building process?’  ;  http://tamilsdirection.blogspot.sg/2016/07/normal-0-false-false-false-en-in-x-none_18.html
