Saving our sarva janaangada shaantiya thoTa

sarva janaangada shaantiya toTa

rasikara kangaLa seLeyuva noTa

hindu kraistha mussalmaana

paarasika jainar udyana

(A tranquil garden belonging to all communities

Forever enticing the epicurean's eyes

Hindu, Christian, Muslim

Parsi, and Jain- a park where truly everyone prospers)

"With our heads held high and Shoulders straight, lets us all stand up and sing the state anthem" the comperer would announce and all of us, on cue, would stand in our school assembly, reciting these very same lines threaded together by the Raashtrakavi, in the same tune, with the same intonation, every Saturday, for years on end without ever bothering about what they meant.

It never really occurred to us to ask the meaning of these complex words because we never felt the need to do so. We knew what the naadageethe signified and what values it stood for. We knew what legacy the Rashtrakavi was entreating upon us to cherish and carry forward and we knew that we didn’t have to know the meaning of these lines to be able to understand and imbibe in ourselves the principles that we wanted our state to reflect.

But today... today we are standing at another time, called upon to gather at another assembly under the school of our state's destiny- and now it is more important than ever for us to once again recite these lines, renew our vows and ask ourselves- What does Karnataka mean to us? What were the ideals that we were guided by when we all chose to unite under the colours of red and yellow, where have we reached and What plans, thoughts and ideas do we have for the future of our beloved Karunaadu?

Growing up as tiny tots running around and chasing butterfly dreams in this garden of secularity, the one thought that all our minds were imbued and indoctrinated with was – Indina Makkale Naalina Prajegalu. Today’s children are tomorrow’s citizens. We would be told, in classrooms and lecture halls and seminars by teachers, leaders and elders that the destiny of our state was a gift that would be bequeathed to us at the opportune time.

And that time has now arrived. Tomorrow, for the very first time in our lives, we will be called upon to decide for ourselves what Karnataka we wish to live grow and prosper in. A weighted responsibility no doubt. And tomorrow, when we once again, filter into long queues and assemble outside government schools to exercise our franchise and decide the destiny of our state, we should take a moment and ponder upon whether the Karnataka that has been thrust upon us, a Karnataka which has been cast under the shadow of communalism, which sits and shivers under the Damocles sword of corruption and which fears the erasure of it’s language culture and community, is truly the same Karnataka singing about whose glory our hearts would swell in pride.

We were taught to embrace everyone with open arms, and today we are being made to turn against our own sisters and brothers. We were told to be honest, upright and law-abiding citizens, but today we are being made to hang our heads in shame to offer under the table commissions. We grew up being nourished by the milk of the matronly Nandini and today she faces the threat of our infidelity.

Along with all these changes, there has also been another monumental change. Nenneya makkaLu have today become naadina prajegaLu. The Karnataka of today may be a vastly different place than the Karnataka of our childhood but now we have been entrusted with the responsibility of and vested with the power to develop, design and reimagine this garden of ours. It is now in our hands to decide which seeds to sow and which weeds to plough.

homogenising something that has always been inherently diverse will kill us all one day.

#-> myra text #political critique #that is why hindutva should have not been popularised. hindutva is not decolonisation or reclamation. #it is homogenising and exclusionist. it takes away the diverse history of this country. #but this statement will reach deaf ears. rather than critiquing nobility they will go and bark casteist and islamphobic bs. #did invaders did what invaders do? yes. but this whole property destruction and lives being at risk has been going on for years. #biggest example who are quite popular: ajatshatru (son of bimbisara) & ashoka the great (the massacre at kaling) #i'm all in for criticising nobility i have no respect for any kings despite their religion and community and whatever. #they're all shits who benefited and left the common people to rot. #these people will say that tipu sultan is the devil reborn but will go on praising the marathas #as if the marathas did not cause a bloodshed in bengal karnataka and the punjab regions. not saying tipu is good but i rather #wanted to point out the hypocrisy of people in certain spaces. its a good thing to appreciate history and even better thing to learn from #the mistakes made in past but some of you guys did not understand the whole point. #absolute shit head cunts some of you guys are. come at me brand me whatever slurs you fuckers use i don't give a shit #calling people sex slaves just because they don't subscribe to your viewpoint is not the big own you think it is. #sanghi bs #india #hindutva

Small story:

A man with business mindset came to a village and saw so many monkeys.

He announced to villagers that he want monkeys and he will pay 5 Rupees per monkey and went away by saying he will come next week.

All villagers went to catch monkeys and caught almost 100 monkeys.

Next week businessman came and he took the monkeys by paying amount and went away.

Again he came back to same village after one week and announces he want more monkeys and he will pay 50 Rupees per monkey. He went away by saying he will come next week.

All villagers searched in same village they didn’t get enough monkeys, so they went to neighbor villages and caught 200 more monkeys and sold it to businessman next week.

Now the twist is:

Again businessman came to same village and announced he want more monkeys and he will pay 500 Rupees per monkey and says he will come next week to collect monkeys.

Villagers are now worried, because there are no monkeys in their and other neighboring villages.

Businessman sends his son to the same village by giving him 300 monkeys and instructs him to sell it for 400 Rupees each.

Boy goes to village and announces that he is having 300 monkeys and price of each monkey is 400 Rupees.

Villages are very happy thinking they will purchase all 300 monkeys to 400 rupees and will sell it to businessman for 500 rupees next week and they can make 100 rupees profit on each monkey.

All villagers purchased the 300 monkeys for 400 rupees each and was very happy.

Villagers waited for 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and for 1 month. Businessman never came back and then got to know they are cheated by him.

All villagers felt ashamed for their greediness.

Now Karnataka people are feeling the Heat 😁

Dr. BR Ambedkar, who was the chief architect of India's Constitution, had converted to Buddhism, and he did not have to seek the permission of the State to do so. He had long championed this freedom of choice before he eventually converted to Buddhism in 1956. Normally an Ordinance is promulgated in the case of emergency which does not apply in this particular context. It is therefore clear that the intention is politically motivated rather than based on any real need or urgency and goes against the provisions enshrined under the Constitution, specifically Article 25. It is also a direct violation of criminal jurisprudence, with large scope for misinterpretation of the term allurement. With no checks or punishment for false complaints, it is more susceptible to abuse than use.

Every Hindu has to answer where they stand on current politics being played out in their name. Silence is no more an option but an answer that you're with the fascist monstrous state since that's the default assumption being made by administration. Feelings of Hindus are hurt when there is an advertisement by a brand showing marriage between a Hindu and Muslim, feelings of Hindus are hurt if someone targets Asaram Bapu or Swami Nityananda who are all convicted criminals, feelings of Hindus get hurt when people in traditional dress are shown without bindis, the list is long. But who are these Hindus? Are you one of them? If not, how can they claim your feelings are hurt? And why are you maintaining this silence that's indicative of your approval? Remember when Shah Rukh Khan is expected to condemn and clarify he does not support Taliban bombing something in Afghanistan? Now Afghanistan doesn't exist in India and nor is Taliban elected by Shah Rukh. But this RSS-BJP govt is elected by you, the thugs on the street are doing it in your name. If tomorrow they were rioting and burning houses in your area, they'll spare your houses. That's what they did in Gujarat and that's what they did in recent Delhi riots. You are part of it and responsible for this mayhem. I'm part of this too. Despite speaking forever against this politics of hate, I'm part of it because I was born a Hindu and this is happening in my name too by virtue of my religion. I have relatives that spew hate and forward bigoted texts on WhatsApp and social media. This is all on us. The more we speak the better. At least eventually we will tell them they don't have the numbers. But given reelection of Adityanath and Modi, I doubt that myself. The Hindus exist only as a reaction to Muslims. They practice and do what would displease Muslims. And they do more and more that which irritates Muslims. They want to play Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers because Muslims play Azaan from loudspeakers. They want to wear saffron shawls and gamchas because Muslims wear Hijab and skullcap. Bhagvadgita says God is everywhere but Hindus search their gods and are sure that their gods only exist inside Muslim mosques. It's bizarre religion that only exists as other of Islam. What is its identity by itself? Each God has a hundred temples to himself/herself. Where does the original Ganesha exist or Ram? Is Ram in Ayodhya then what are hundred other temples scattered in every city? What is shiva lingam? Is anything that's an inverted U a shiva linga? Or only those inverted U's that exist inside mosques? What is Hinduism and what kind of a Hindu are you? Are you the kind in whose name Muslims get lynched on street because they allegedly have beef in their refrigerator? The beef that in lab is found out to be simple mutton! Are Hindus in Goa and Kerala and North east who eat beef not Hindus? Does that mean those who wrote Vedas and mentioned themselves eating beef not Hindus? Then why do you say Vedas are Hindu texts? Maybe those are Islamic texts since Muslims eat beef just like writers of Vedas did, what do you say? Isn't that the kind of logic you read on WhatsApp and jump on to hating a whole community?

Exploring BJP’s Karnataka List: Changes, Surprises, and Strategies

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) recently unveiled its list of candidates for the upcoming elections in Karnataka, stirring discussions and raising eyebrows with its strategic choices. Let’s delve into the key takeaways from this announcement.

1. Anantkumar Hegde’s Omission: A Shift in Strategy

Anantkumar Hegde, a prominent figure known for his controversial statements and staunch Hindutva stance, finds himself absent from the BJP’s list this time. Hegde, a five-time MP from Uttara Kannada, has long been associated with the party’s Hindutva narrative. However, his recent remarks, including suggestions of changing the Constitution, seem to have led to his exclusion. In his place stands former Assembly Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kaggeri, signaling a potential shift in the party’s strategy.

2. Jagadish Shettar’s Comeback: A Political Maneuver

Former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar’s return to the BJP fold marks a significant political maneuver. Shettar, who left the party in 2023, has been granted a ticket from Belgaum, replacing Mangala Angadi. This move not only underscores the party’s efforts to reconcile with former allies but also highlights its reliance on experienced leaders to navigate challenging electoral battles.

3. K Sudhakar’s Selection: Balancing Interests

The selection of former minister K Sudhakar for the Chikkaballapur seat exemplifies the delicate balancing act within the BJP. Despite internal reservations, Sudhakar’s candidacy reflects the party’s need to appease various factions while also considering factors like financial resources and political alliances. His candidacy, supported by influential figures within the party and allied groups, underscores the intricate dynamics at play in candidate selection.

4. Strategic Vacancies and Alliances: Calculated Moves

The BJP’s decision to leave certain constituencies vacant for its ally, the Janata Dal (Secular), speaks volumes about its strategic calculations. By maintaining alliances and strategic vacancies, the party aims to consolidate its position while also respecting existing political dynamics within the state.

Conclusion

The unveiling of BJP’s Karnataka candidate list unveils a tapestry of strategic decisions, alliances, and recalibrations. From the exclusion of Hindutva stalwarts to the revival of former allies, each selection carries implications for the party’s electoral prospects and broader political landscape. As the elections draw near, these choices will shape the narrative and determine the BJP’s trajectory in Karnataka’s political arena.

PM Narendra Modi’s Southern Focus: A Strategic Political Move

In the dynamic landscape of Indian politics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strategic focus on the southern states continues to grab attention. Today, he embarked on a series of rallies in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, marking a deliberate effort to strengthen the National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) presence in these crucial regions.

After a spirited kickoff in Andhra Pradesh’s Palnadu, where he joined forces with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Jana Sena Party (JSP), PM Modi shifted his attention to Karnataka. His presence in Shimoga, particularly significant due to its association with BJP stalwart BS Yediyurappa, underscores the party’s determination to fortify its stronghold in the state. Despite internal dissent, symbolized by former deputy chief minister K S Eshwarappa’s independent candidacy, the BJP remains steadfast in its pursuit of victory in Karnataka.

The upcoming polls in Karnataka are poised to be decisive, with the BJP vying to replicate its impressive performance in 2019. However, the formidable presence of the Congress, buoyed by its recent triumph in the state assembly elections, poses a formidable challenge.

In Tamil Nadu, PM Modi’s roadshow in Coimbatore marks a strategic move by the BJP to expand its footprint in a traditionally unconquered territory. Despite facing setbacks in previous elections, the party has intensified its campaigning efforts, epitomized by state unit chief Annamalai’s extensive state-wide campaign. The alliance landscape in Tamil Nadu remains fluid following AIADMK’s decision to sever ties, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the BJP.

Amidst these political maneuvers, the Supreme Court is set to address the State Bank of India’s (SBI) response regarding the disclosure of unique alphanumeric codes crucial for tracing electoral bond donors. The revelation of donor details by regional parties adds a layer of complexity to an already contentious issue. The BJP’s assertion of non-obligation to disclose donor information underscores the need for transparency and accountability in political funding.

In parallel, the Enforcement Directorate’s summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) further amplifies the political drama. The AAP leader’s defiance of previous summons and allegations of ulterior motives behind the DJB probe add intrigue to an already charged atmosphere.

As the political landscape unfolds, all eyes remain fixed on these developments, shaping the trajectory of Indian politics in the days to come. Will PM Modi’s southern foray yield electoral dividends? How will the judicial and investigative scrutiny impact key political figures? The answers lie in the unfolding chapters of India’s vibrant democracy.
