Modi's Meditation: Another Political Ploy to Deceive Voters


Meditation with Corrupt Intents is a Message to His Followers

Prime Minister Modi’s upcoming meditation session at the Vivekananda Center in Kanyakumari, scheduled right before phase 7 of the voting, has sparked considerable controversy and speculation. Opposition parties have been quick to label this move as a strategic political maneuver aimed at influencing voters in Bengal, where critical seats are up for grabs in this phase.

Modi’s choice to meditate at a center associated with Swami Vivekananda is seen by many as a calculated attempt to appeal to the sentiments of Bengali voters, who hold Vivekananda in high regard. However, opinions are divided on whether this will indeed sway votes in his favor.

Modi’s tenure has been marked by a notable infusion of religious elements into the political landscape, polarizing public opinion. Some view him as a restorer of Hindu pride after centuries of subjugation by various foreign rulers. This perspective is particularly evident during cricket matches against teams from countries like Pakistan and former colonial powers, where historical grievances are often reignited.

The historical narrative of India is complex, with significant contributions from both Muslim and non-Muslim rulers. However, the education system has often failed to present a balanced view, leading to entrenched biases. Modi’s actions in places like Varanasi and Ayodhya have drawn parallels to past rulers who demolished existing structures to assert their authority, highlighting a recurring theme of leaders prioritizing personal legacy over communal harmony.

Critics argue that India has suffered under the current administration’s preference for religious and personal agendas over pragmatic policies. This shift has resulted in economic disparities and regional imbalances, evident in the allocation of defense projects to Modi’s home state of Gujarat, sidelining other regions and exacerbating unemployment among young graduates.

Figures like Arvind Kejriwal and Rahul Gandhi have emerged as vocal critics of Modi’s policies, challenging his administration on various fronts. Kejriwal, in particular, has been a thorn in Modi’s side, exposing alleged misrepresentations and creating a narrative that forces BJP supporters to question their allegiance.

As phase 7 approaches, Modi’s retreat to the Vivekananda Center appears as a last-ditch effort to consolidate support. Whether this move will yield the desired electoral results remains to be seen, but it underscores the deep entanglement of religion and politics in contemporary India.

In conclusion, Modi’s meditation at the Vivekananda Center symbolizes more than a mere search for inner peace. It reflects the intricate interplay between religion, politics, and personal legacy in shaping the future of India.

In India When History Becomes a Casualty of "WhatsApp University"

  In India When History Becomes a Casualty of "WhatsApp University" I find myself compelled to write this blog thanks to a handful of BJP loyalists who generously read my work and return with their “unique” interpretations of history. While I appreciate their engagement, it’s hard to ignore the logical gymnastics they perform to defend their views. So, here’s an attempt to set the record straight, even though logic may not be their strongest suit. Let’s start with the fascinating phenomenon of "WhatsApp University," a factory of misinformation designed to produce unwavering faith in an alternative version of history. Take one particularly fervent admirer, for example. She not only despises Rahul Gandhi with unmatched zeal—despite his lack of any substantive power—but also passionately declares that Subhash Chandra Bose was India’s first prime minister. Yes, you read that right. Subhash Chandra Bose, who mysteriously disappeared in 1945, was somehow governing India t...

Justice Weaponized: Why Injustice Wrapped in Religion Fuels the Fire in Kashmir and POK

Note: This article is an opinion piece based on interpretations and historical conjectures that align with the author's point of view. Justice Weaponized: Why Injustice Wrapped in Religion Fuels the Fire in Kashmir and POK Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/10/blog-post_21.html Some conflicts aren’t unsolvable; they’re intentionally left unsolved. Kashmir is one of them. Like Palestine. Like systemic racism. Like apartheid. At the heart of each lies a common thread: injustice, not just its presence, but its purposeful misuse to divide, control, and profit. Injustice does not discriminate, but once it is dressed in religious or ethnic colors, it becomes a weapon that does. The world has seen this story before. When Jews were dehumanized in Europe, millions perished while the world rationalized it. When Blacks were enslaved, segregated, and brutalized for centuries, systems justified it as “order.” Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs all have suffered when justic...

India at the Brink: Power, Division, and the Fight for the Nation’s Soul

  India at the Brink: Power, Division, and the Fight for the Nation’s Soul Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/10/blog-post_14.html India stands on a knife’s edge not because of foreign threats, but because the system meant to serve the people has turned against them. What we are witnessing today is not just inequality. It is the organized betrayal of the majority by a privileged few, aided by a government that no longer pretends to act in public interest. A powerful bloc of India’s elite, closely tied to the Gujarat lobby, has handed the reins of the nation to the most hardline wing of the BJP, ideologically powered by the RSS. This alliance has given rise to a regime obsessed with control: of politics, media, religion, wealth, and truth. Wealth has been extracted from the people and delivered to corporations via tailor-made laws, deregulation, and privatization. Public assets are built with public money, but the profits flow into private hands t...
