India that is bharat that is Uttar pradesh - is the quote used by Dr.Syama Prasad Mukerji on describing Nehrus callous attitude toward Bengali Hindus
The so called national interest has been defined by a set of Congress satraps, mostly brahmin of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar
I shall examine whether this so called national interest is really national interest or simply dumb North Indian brahmins lacking strategic foresight
Brihaspati in BRF
I think I have proposed for a long time now - that the existence of Pakistan is crucial for the ruling interests of India. There are some simple hypotheses that can explain observations on the ground for the last 60 years:
(1) the rashtryia ruling interests have a regional perception of "center" - somewhere abstractly in UP. The further you go from this imaginary centre of the world - all else becomes periphery simply by distance. Other factors that define periphery - are language, perceived cultural differences, and of course independent political thinking.
Any and all regions that have historical tendency to challenge the "centre" from dominating all the trade and demographic flow of the northern plains - are "enemies". In that sense Pakistan is "periphery". So Pakistan must be "kept out". The border is as much to keep India away from Pakistan as it is to keep Pakistan away from India. Pakistan and BD helps in keeping the two main challengers of UP-centre in GV - Punjab and Bengal - pre-occupied.
(2) Pakistan fortunately concentrates "islamism". This helps in not having to show the deep distrust and hatred of Muslims as "people" openly - and the hatred for "Muslim", not Islam which is admirable for its seamless integration of totalitarian control, can be kept covered up within pseudo-nationalistic antagonism between "nations". Indian rulers can safely go on pretending their love of "Islam" while hiding their hatred of "Muslims" - possibly out of identification of the majority of muslims as having been converted "lower class" Indians - under a hatred for Pakistan.
(3) Pakistan as an antagonistic ideological opponent of India - as an unchanging religiously motivated "enemy", helps in internal politics of India. The sole arbiter of power at the "centre" can threaten the Muslims in India with the imaginary threat of non-Muslims swallowing them up, while they can raise the threat of Pakistan and Indian Muslims joining hands together against the non-Muslim Indians. The sole arbiter can therefore play neutral and be safe in power. They can also threaten Pakistan in the same way the MKG/JLN line blackmailed the Brits in the 45-47 period - if you do not walk with us, the "others" would take over reigns of power - and then you will have it much harder.
(4) Making "peace" with Pakistan helps in keeping the uncertainty and the threat - permanent.

[Since the start of the coalition era at the Centre the importance of Uttar Pradesh has vastly diminished. Today, it is the regional political parties like DMK , RJD, TMC have gained in political importance much beyond the number of seats that they may have in Parliament. The regional parties at times do have the power to pull down the Government. The words of Shama Prasad Mukherjee do not hold good today.
On the second point, taking into account the demographic realities, one has to agree that we have to interact and cohabit with members of different communities who constitute the population of the India. This will obviously require certain amount of adjustments so that all can live peacefully.
On engaging Pakistan, itââ¬â¢s existence is a reality. One has to keep interacting with the next door neighbor .The Hindu centric ideology has no place in today's India.
Not true, the LTTE was destroyed despite the DMK, the PMK and Vaiko being UPA supporters
The deep state screwed the regional satraps
Hindu-centric or Hindu-survivalist ?
The other communities want to destroy us

The Hindu community being the largest in the country is in the commanding position as far as running the affairs of the country. However, India as it is today consists of a population having different religion . Therefore, it is not possible to set up an exclusive Hindu Rastra. This is the hard reality . For the unity and integrity of the nation it is necessary for members of all communities to participate in the running of the Nation.
Since the last two years we have a BJP Government which enjoys absolute majority in the Lok Sabha. The RSS is very much engaged in its normal activities and so is the BJP. Yet the Government is running smoothly and a number of new schemes and measures have been lunched for the betterment of the general public.Citizens are all living peacefully although many of them belong to different religions.There is peaceful co existence between all communities.No discrimination has been observed and members of the minority community are equal partners in nation building as well as in the governance of this vast country.Nothing has changed after the BJP come to power. This only shows how powerful and strong are the foundations of democracy and secularism in India.
