Kapil’s Khichadi

India celebrated its 74th year of Independence on 15th August, witnessed by people of all backgrounds who came together to celebrate the freedom enjoyed by 1.3 billion Indians. The flag is hoisted, the national anthem is sung with gusto and we witness emotional salutes to the Tiraṅgā. It all looks great, unless you have Kapil with you who will draw your attention to some uncomfortable truths.
There are traitors amongst us. They are closer to us than we wish to believe and many of them hold positions of power not just in India, but around the world and within our community. They are the people who exhibit their ‘patriotism’ by organising high profile events to fool the foolhardy. I won’t name them they know who they are, and they exercise their power and reach to silence true patriots. They use privilege of position to control the narrative which suits their ideological mindset.
In the UK we see politicians like Keir Starmer, Preet Gill, Seema Malhotra, Claudia Webbe, Sadiq Khan and many others who suddenly wake up on the 15th of August to entice people into thinking they care about India or Indians. Our own people promote them, give them the oxygen of publicity, and legitimise their anti-India hatred and narrative.
The anti-Indians in Parliament, on social media, in Party conferences and in their locality spend most of their time undermining India at every turn. When Claudia Webbe chaired the Labour Party conference debate on Kashmir, she and the hierarchy within Labour allowed the rogues to make anti-India hate speeches without restraint. Last year some even joined the Pakistani hooligans who came to disturb the celebrations outside the High Commission of India in London.
In America it is no different. The anti-Indian Democrat Biden selected Kamala Harris as his running mate. Kamala suddenly discovered her Indian DNA to hoodwink the Indian diaspora. She forgot that her record shows the many occasions on which she publicly undermined India in favour of Pakistan, as has Biden. Incredibly the Indian media went mad in celebrating the selection of Kamala as the potential Vice President. The merchants of fake news grow stronger since they find it so easy to fool the foolish Indian.
In India we witness the very same. The separatists, the Maoist, the Congress cabal, the Khalistanis and many others, all undermine the nation for 364 days a year, but suddenly discover their ‘patriotism’ on the 365th day.
India, and many Indians make the same mistake time and again. They appease to the powerful in the hope that they will get a pat on the back, or an invitation to the inner circle, or an honour or a title, or some money-making contract. It’s always the same, the Sepoy mentality that enslaved Bharat for hundreds of years still remains unfortunately.
Real independence will happen when we kick the anti-nationals out of all the powerful decision-making circles, be they in India, in the UK or the USA. When will we promote the Dharma Rakshaks who steadfastly give their lives for Bharat Varsh?
Those who hide in the shadows often tell me, there is a bigger picture that all of us are missing. This is just sleight of verbal gymnastics used often to establish their eliteness, and our collective subservience. Let me tell you, there is no such thing as a big picture – there is only Dharma. Those who do the right Karma are the Dharmic warriors for Bharat Varsh. At our peril we fall foul of the duplicitous, of the treacherous or both. Jai Hind.
