'Coconut' Class of Sixty-Nine

Narendra Modi (NaMo) has brought upon a very strange situation and a dilemma to the vast and diverse fabric of Indian Voter. Firstly, he split the Indian Voter into two - with 31% in favour, who actually voted for him to be the PM, against the rest 69%. Secondly, just to maintain 'anti-Modi' position and keep this vote-bank intact, torch-bearers of these 69% have even started justifying 'anti-India' causes and activities.

31% are the early Bhakts (supporters / followers of NaMo) - term used with derogatory connotation by the Indian Sickular Intellectuals (ISI) . A very large part of 69% who voted against NaMo are actually innocent well-meaning voters, who simply got misled by anti-Modi narrative; an agenda aggressively pushed into the drawing-rooms and on coffee-tables, by the unholy nexus of Toxic & Corrupt Mainstream Media (paid by the Congress), Corrupt & anti-National NGOs-turned-Activists-turned-Politicians; promoted by the politically aspirational ‘Mullah-Marxist-Missionary’ advocacy-groups working on the ground. These groups & organisations are heavily funded to oil-up the anti-Modi machinery across India, by the international organisations whose main objective is only to disturb the socio-political fabric and create unrest across the globe. This is done  under the garb of protecting revolutionary ideas such as Democratic Rights, Human Rights, Animal Rights, Climate Change, Environment & Pollution Control, Civil Rights, Religious Freedom etc. This is a full blown industry by itself and a hugely rewarding one at that. This story is discussed in great detail on this blog under earlier posts from 2014 titled: AAP – Theatre of the absurd: a congregation of NGOs, Activists & Bored CEOs and India NGOnized 

We basically have been a very curious nation, always willing to experiment & adapt, with a ‘slave’ mindset - a perfect marketplace for the 'soft' industry of Faith, Culture, Activism & even Ideology. Therefore such imports from the West are easily consumed here, perceived to be more authentic, advanced & superior, as compared to the Desi stuff. Young aspirational Indian population, subjected to western education, remained blissfully ignorant of its own traditions, culture & history, started believing in everything Western: Ideology (Political-Economic-Business-Management), Food, Music, Education, Language, Media, Fashion, Lifestyle & even Culture.

'Coconut' Nation

Ten years under Sonia Gandhi led UPA-1 & UPA-2 regime (2004~2014), brilliantly chronicled by MRVenkatesh as ‘A Decade of Decay’, was the worst ever period of independent India. During these years, India totally turned into a ‘Coconut’ Nation. While the exterior always remained the racial Brown no matter what, the soul of India slowly converted from the rustic earthy natural shades of Brown to a Uniform White, as in Gora.  We have discussed Globalisation in an earlier post in great detail but in Hindi:  भूमंडलीकरण (Globalisation) और उसके तत्व ...

So during May 2014 LS elections, a large part of 69% anti-Modi Voter came from this ‘Coconut class’ - who obviously voted against NaMo.

Things started rolling from the day NaMo, the Desi Unwashed Outsider, arrived at Lutyens Delhi as Prime Minister, bowed & touched the steps of the Parliament. No Indian politician had ever shown this kind of reverence for the temple of democracy. 
Pradhan Sevak (as NaMo likes to call himself) finally assumed office and started functioning. 

Narendra Modi bows down, touches the steps of Parliament
Last thirty months witnessed a roller-coaster ride as far as NaMo was concerned. Media was judging NaMo & his actions by the hour, 24x7 & LIVE - calling him Names, cracking jokes on him, spreading lies, sharing distorted quotes & versions, ridiculing his speeches & mannerisms etc.; Basically entertaining the 69% of confused ‘Coconut’ constituent. 

Massive work done by NaMo & his Team at NDA-II during the first two years finally started to speak for itself and has helped change the direction of narrative. The size of 69% has since started shrinking, slowly but gradually. A fairly large part of this class is unable to openly support the Prime Minister, even if they actually want to. They are cases of ‘glass-half-full’: uncertain, afraid, stumped and dazed. The reasons for their apprehensions in openly supporting NaMo and the factors affecting this restraint can be broadly assigned to some of these: 
  • Intellectualism
  • Industry-Lobby network
  • Social Network
  • Political Ideology / Affiliation
These are some of the key factors & limitations for the ‘Coconut’ class not being able to openly come out in support of NaMo just yet. NaMo was aware of the fact that he can win over support of the Coconut-Class at home only after he has established himself as a World Leader globally. 
Sad, but true! 

Once the Ivy-League universities & Western media start appreciating the work done by Modi Govt, surely more and more of the 69% will cross over - that alone would provide them much needed legitimacy & justify their coming out with it. The way things are moving, that should happen real soon and we shall see a lot of broken coconuts around.

Lastly, this is how NaMo responds in one of his speeches in Rajya Sabha early this year:




"Safar mein dhoop to hogi jo chal sako to chalo,

Sabhi hain bheed mein.... tum bhi nikal sako to chalo,
Kisi ke vaasate raahein kahaan badalati hain,
Tum apne aap ko khud hi badal sako to chalo,
Yahaan kisi ko koi raasta nahin deta,
Mujhe giraake agar tum sambhal sako to chalo."

Nero’s Guests, the age of inequality: A Review

The reason why I have taken up to write a review of Nero’s Guests is because it needs to be widely circulated, written and talked about, as much as possible; so that everyone gets to see it, those who still do not get the time to watch it, may further need to be motivated to do so, and only then it will reach out to the wider audience and be able to make a real impact. The mainstream media today is totally degenerated and corrupted as it does not cover anything that is not “breaking news” or that is not considered “glamorous” enough to catch eye balls. For this obvious reason, Nero’s Guests has been completely ignored by the mainstream media (both print & electronic) and is not given its due space & visibility. The subject itself is not new to any of us and it has become a part of our daily lives - mere statistics. It is about the severe agrarian crisis that the country is faced with, as a result of which farmers are still committing suicide and as many as 200,000 farmers h

Down Memory Lane: Satpura National Park

Memory … is the diary that we all carry about with us ~ Oscar Wilde This one is a sequel to the earlier post: Story of Satpura , where we introduced and talked about the person, Shri K. S. Saxena (Retd IFS), who was at the centre of creation of what we know today as Satpura Biosphere Reserve.  We pick up where we had left with the concluding remark: “And he looks forward to visiting Satpura National Park sometime …” Satpura National Park After three successive COVID-19 lockdowns and all the trauma, it was only in October’21 that we could conclude the most awaited trip down memory lane to Satpura National Park, exactly forty years after it was inaugurated. Calling it mere ‘nostalgic trip’ for Shri. K.S. Saxena (ex-IFS) on his 86th Birthday would be nothing short of an insult to his passion and love for the jungles of Satpura.  Sharing here few pictures of the trip from our personal archives, please feel free to ‘click to enlarge’ pictures for better views.  The planning for the trip was

Ideological Subversion

And then, there are the communists, Blacker hearts still. They feed on the pus of all this corruption, Like maggots in a corpse! And like maggots have left a swell, They will eventually swarm like flies, And spread their rotten philosophy, Across the country and across the world, Those then, Are our enemies! ~ Inspector Chester Campbell / The Peaky Blinders Post independence, India had the option to chose & follow a particular path to build its own destiny as a Sovereign Nation State in the new world order, after almost 1000 years of foreign rule. This opportunity was actually the result of those Freedom Fighters who laid their precious lives to liberate India from foreign rule. Unfortunately, they did not live to witness the national tricolour being hoisted on 15th August 1947. The real heroes of our freedom struggle are the ones who contributed immensely during the 90 years, starting with 1857 through 1947. They were the real sons of the soil, most of whom martyred as nameless &
