Intolerant Indians

1 year of Intolerant Indians is over. We revisit the previous season and set our sights on the next mission. TN 2021.

A muslim mob recently vandalised a Hindu temple in old Delhi. A heated debate is going on right now, to understand what happened and why it happened. While incidents like these keep happening now and then in our country, this time it's a bit different in our minds. Fresh after the re-election of the largest Hindu majority government ever in the history of independent India, we start to identify a lot of manipulative communal incidents here and there which seem to be squarely aimed at inciting riots. On one hand, our Prime Minister is being blamed for inaction because why are we, the majority community in India, still living in fear? Why, even after getting re-elected, is the leadership not showing spine to quash these communal divisive forces?

While the main question must be to find out who is behind this incitement, it is also an important time to look at the root cause of every single "religion" related problem in Bharat - Islam and its followers. The monotheistic philosophy behind Islam is NOT a good fit in this great ancient nation which has been guarding its polytheist traditions for centuries, way before Islam was even a thing. So, why are they still making problems here? One answer is they are now shit scared that the BJP is back in power and want to create an atmosphere of intolerance to put the blame on Hindus and possibly make at least Amit Shah resign as the Home minister, but the other reason is far deeper, it is the ideology of Islam itself. 

What can we do about it? Do Muslims really think we are still in the Mughal era, where they successfully managed to taunt, suppress and humiliate Hindus by razing down the most important temples in our tradition? Do they really think their constitution, the Quran, is above the constitution of India?

By the way, is Islam a threat just to India or, as we have been seeing recently, with all the terror attacks, the whole world? What are the ideas that drive the followers of Islam to behave this way? 

We try to find out what the reasons are behind the Islamic threat to humanity. Do listen. Jai Hind. 

Oh, the leftists. They know nothing but to deny, deceive and lie. It is the same modus operandi as low level crooks who steal and when they get caught, they say they didn't do it. 

Isn't that how criminals behave when they get caught? Deny, deny, deny?

Recently, they've been going against conservatives in the online media. It's not new, they have done this before an they're at it again and we think this is the right moment to dissect and expose these criminals and their modus operandi so that we can effectively counter it. Listen in!

All narratives of the 2019 elections, laid bare. Before and after the results, we analyze how BJP has managed to control, steer and dominate the narratives of this year's historic elections. 

As we had expected, Narendra Modi has won. From being in the middle of election, watching narratives unfold to witnessing the massive euphoria on the day of the victory speech, we take you through what we consider one of the most important election in our lives so far. 

How did it really happen and what possibly can we do about the Tamil Nadu situation? 

Prepare yourself some food and sit-in for some political banter! 

Behind the scenes of Elections 2019 - Phase 2 - Tamil Nadu

Social Media has largely replaced mainstream media as the primary news platform, in which individual sources have gradually become known personalities. Every user on a platform like Twitter has their own megaphone, own small media company which can post all kinds of content to their followers. 

2014 was a watershed year for the entry of politics into these platforms. The virality of content was a big draw for politicians to spread their message. We've been observing this phenomenon for some time now, having used social media exclusively for consuming politics for the past few years. 

In these years, we have come across many personalities who have become primary sources of information as well as prominent political "handles" as we call it. 

This is our first interview with one such Twitter personality, who has had a VERY interesting story behind his journey in politics which closely intertwines with social media. 

Meet @HariIndic - Hari Prabhakaran is now fully indulged in the campaign to get Narendra Damodardas Modi elected again. He's been recognized by the Prime Minister himself, who recently wished him on his birthday and gave him a follow on Twitter. What led Hari to this place? Who is he? Where does he come from? This and more in our first ever interview. This is the true story of Hari Prabhakaran. 

When you're part of the culture war, a lot of words are thrown around with deep assumptions behind them. Fascists are right wing lunatics, the Nazis were the worst of the RW so any nationalist is either a Nazi or a Fascist. But when you peel the covers and look into history, a fascinating truth reveals itself. 

We've already talked about a left wing and a right wing and what it means to us. In that series, we have updated ourselves with new information from various sources, prominently Dinesh D'Souza, a conservative political filmmaker from the US who helps dissect the recent past of American history. 

Why is a failed economic ideology still being propagated, even after it has killed millions of people due to its failure? Why is the "right wing" being blamed now, even though the so-called "left wing" of the past were nationalists too? 

Baffling questions lead to quite a few answers and sow the seeds of even deeper questions. 

This episode, we are intolerant about socialism, a failed ideology that's clinging on to possibly its final years in the culture war. It's time we ask some tough questions about history. 

Is there a neutral position in politics? Or is it just an illusion? If there's neutrality, how could it really manifest in decision making? 

What is a "positive" social justice? Is this the trump card that will fix India's traditional caste-based fault lines that are routinely exploited by vulture politicians as vote banks? 

What is the reality of demographics in 2019 India? Are those who're going to vote for the first time really sensible enough to vote? Those who are still living in a protected bubble, do they understand the concept of a nation state and the reality of survival? 

With only one month left to vote, we try to answer these very important questions.
