Excerpt of
<b>BJP: missing the wood for the trees â II</b>

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The BJPâs commitment to reclaim Kashi, Mathura and Ayodhya was reflected in its White paper on Ayodhya which mentions that the BJP was prepared to surrender claims to Kashi and Mathura if the Muslims backed-off from Ayodhya. The BJP had no moral authority to barter away Kashi and Mathura; Muslims learn politics from the day they learn the Koran and the Muslims of the country who understood clearly how Hindu political leadership crumbles in the face of violence, read in between the lines of the White paper, and hardened their stand. Not only were they not prepared to back off from Ayodhya, they demanded the re-building of the Babri mosque. Kashi and Mathura were successfully erased from the collective consciousness.
From then on, the BJP allowed the vaishya to surface to the top; good governance became the mantra and every issue which set the BJP apart, fell by the wayside. From standing majestically alone, the BJP diminished itself, looking for regional allies who fattened themselves at the BJP expense. The BJP is falling and the fall is best understood by its upstart spokesperson who brushed aside the question on Ram Janmabhumi by declaring the BJP is not a construction company.
The BJP leadership is so caught up in the spirit of the vaishya that the brahmin wisdom is under a total eclipse. The leadership fails to see that its allies chipped away at its self-identity for as long as they lived in its body as parasites pretending at a symbiotic relationship. The BJPâs distinct self-identity - as a Hindu party which emerged from a large Hindu movement, was its strength. Once the BJPâs political allies had destroyed its identity, the BJP lost its strength to stand alone. The BJP was feared when it was strong; it is despised today for its weakness â despised alike by its once former allies and by its committed followers in Hindu society.
<b>Politics is the business of the kshatriya. The BJP leadership must sit in meditation for an hour every morning and repeat Aurobindo like a mantra. The kshatriya is not afraid of violence unleashed by the enemies of dharma; the kshatriya is not afraid to use just force to destroy the enemies of dharma; the kshatriya is not afraid of unjust calumny, vilification campaigns and attempts to disarm him by instigating mass hysteria; the kshatriya must know no fear; the kshatriya fails in his varna dharma when he abdicates his responsibility in fear. The BJP should have read the Kautiliya Arthasastra on how to choose oneâs allies and the place of allies in the polity. The true kshatriya is not afraid to stand alone.</b>
The BJP is trapped in the good governance argument; good governance is the very minimum that the people have the right to expect from any government. Hindus need more than just good governance; they need a government which will strive to keep this ancient civilization alive as Hindu bhumi. This means Hindus need a government which will enable them to live like Hindus, without any threat from any force which seeks to destroy the dharma, the dharmi and their ethos.
The threat to the Hindu bhumi and her people are enormous and manifold. The threats are different in different parts of this nation. Hindu dharma and the dharmi are confronting religious demographic aggression, religious conversion, the take-over of their bhumi by Islam in J&K and by the Church in the North-East. The astronomical amounts of money which are coming into this country coincide with the rise of Sonia Gandhi in the Indian polity and the corresponding decline of the BJP. The BJP must see the correlation if it wants to survive.
This money is coming to the two aggressive and well-organized so-called minority religions both legally and through illegal means. This money is being used to build more and more churches, mosques and madarasas. This money is going into the hands of Christians and Muslims who are investing in large tracts of real estate and other territories â agricultural land and industrial land. There is a corresponding increase in the raising of monstrous symbols of their respective religions in public spaces. Both religions have their own armies â direct and indirect, overt and covert. In Tamil Nadu for instance and in Sri Lanka the Churchâs army is mercenary, while Islamâs army has always been the pan-national and international jihadis whose war is facilitated by the domestic warriors of Islam.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
And final para:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Some things can be achieved only by the state and by state power. Some tasks can be undertaken only by the kshatriya. If this is understood, then the BJP will be ready to retrieve J&K and the North-East for the Hindu bhumi, it will know how to deal with Pakistan and Bangladesh, its foreign policy will define itself, it will know how to determine the place of Islam and the Church. The vision, the courage and the wisdom to stand alone are interlinked and cannot be sequenced. Therein is the wisdom.
