As the dust settles on the moon


As the dust settles on the moon after the landing of Chandrayan 3, a lot of it will be raked up right here on mother Earth. 


The reason is plain and simple. A full bore attempt will be made to distance the people of Bharat, Modi’s administration and anything about the hardworking, nose to the ground, authentic people and the culture they represent, from the Chandrayaan 3 accomplishment. These beautiful hardworking people, whose perfect sampling was so appropriately visible in the control room that day included women clad in Sarees, who were no doubt phenomenal scientists, mathematicians and administrators to be part of Indian Space Research Organization team that put Bharat’s flag on the moon. 


Sadly there is a substantial population in Bharat, and plenty of forces and people outside India who cannot digest these “Kafirs” or “Right wing Hindu Nationalists” succeeding or getting any credit. These successes go against the carefully crafted and propagated narrative being constantly pushed out to all who would believe that these uncouth, cowardly, non-secular, bigoted people who need to be upgraded to Abrahamic religions or to Liberalism are capable of anything but casteism and genocide of minorities. 


The factories that produce that garbage include well funded think-tanks that draft the outlines and studios and publishing houses that then give shape and color to it with the help of some carefully picked incidents. In a population of a billion plus people, it is not hard to find an off incident or stage one or craft one to suit any narrative. 


Bharat’s ascendence exemplified by accomplishments such as Chandrayaan 3 are hard to negate. You can negate economic growth story by putting the picture of a poor farmer who has “lost everything under Modi’s regime” and have it get picked up by news outlets. You can similarly try to neutralize every marker of growth and asendence. But how to you do it to an event that was telecast live and watched by billions perhaps. 


There is a way and that’s what you will see coming out shortly. It is the repurposing of the tool kit being used to take the shine off from the massive success of Indian diaspora. Introduce caste and religion. BBC will do it, Pakistanis will do it, China funded Marxists will do it and and the narrative will find plenty of takers in India who will lap it up hungrily. 


So the narratives will be on the lines of ISRO scientists not including Dalits and Muslims. There were afterall no women in Burqas in the control room that day. No matter that their own parents and maulvis, keen to book their own ride to heaven, had cut off the legs of those little girls well before they ever reached double digit age. 


But the crafty narrative is coming nevertheless. It is coming. Then the left with pick it up and the scholarly elite will discuss in TV rooms about how minorities if they are not being killed are being being marginalized. They will conveniently forget that APJ Abdul Kalam led this same institution not that long ago.


The effect will be the same as always. the Bharat and Modi hating crowd will have a few willing takers added to it and forever and ever they with preface the Chandrayaan 3 success with a “Yes, But” and vote accordingly. That’s the goal. Elections. 


Lekin aayega to Modi hi!! Jai Ho
