America Follows India’s Path: Trump Copies Modi

America Follows India’s Path: Trump Copies Modi

Shrikant G. Talageri

Donald Trump has been carrying out a great many controversial acts and measures since he came to power, and saying a great many things which are creating controversies. It is possible that many of these things will not be likely to be liked by many in India (even I may not like all of them; although this is just a general sentence, and not referring as yet to any particular act that I have not liked.), and some or many of his acts and words may not be in India’s economic and other interests. But the three things that no-one can deny (though there will be countless critics who will deny it) is that he is doing it all for his country (and for the people who voted him to power) and that he is doing everything that he promised, and that he started doing these things with a bang from day one of his presidency.

He is of course all praise for Modi (among other international leaders) since being friendly with India and its PM, without compromising any of the interests of his own country and voters, is in the larger interests of his country and voters. And his praise and support will be as per the requirements of his country and voters.

This is a far cry from the BJP government in India, which (though it has economic achievements to its credit, in line with the enrichment and empowerment of its own coterie of leaders) has not done a single thing for Hindus in its ten years of one-party rule. By a single thing for Hindus, I mean a single one of the things it is vital and necessary to do, and which are listed in Anand Ranganathan’s brilliant book “Hindus in hindu Rashtra…” and reiterated in more and more detail by Anand Ranganathan in his talks, TV appearances and tweets. Of the much touted “Hindu acts” of the government, article 370 has turned out to be a damp squib (with extremists getting elected or coming to power in Kashmir, Kashmiri Pandits still in exile, and billions of dollars of Hindu taxpayers’ money being continuously poured into Kashmir in a futile bid to get the support and votes of the Kashmiri Muslims and some back-patting from international leaders, leftists and other anti-Hindu elements). UCC and Triple Talaq bills are not issues of Hindu interest: they are issues of Muslim womens’ interest and in the interests of true Secularism. The Ram Mandir was achieved by everyone (from the Congress and Hindu Mahasabha leaders who initiated the issue, from Rajiv Gandhi and Narasimha Rao, the Hindu masses and the Ayodhya martyrs, and the courts, and archaeologists who included K K Mohammed, a Muslim) with the BJP leaders only taking political mileage out of the issue (and even going so far as to give Mulayam Singh, the butcher of Ayodhya, a Padma Vibhushan, in a bid to further this political mileage).

 

But the bhakts and sycophants are never at a loss. According to them, Trump is copying Modi:

To be honest, Modi and the BJP have become a role-model for certain sections of the west: e.g. for EU leaders and NATO leaders. Where do you think they got their inspiration from, in the way in which they are defeating unwanted leaders (like Georgescu in Romania and Jean-Marie Le Pen in France) without resorting to ballots?

Of course they are following “India’s Path”:

But, in this respect, Trump is not “copying Modi”. He has supported Georgescu and Jean-Marie Le Pen.
