Breaking News: Shoe Garland Offered By the Public to Modi


जूतों से ये पिटते हैं

On May 29, 2024, as I was working on my post, I wrote a poem on posted as a blog where I predicted this happening in this poem “https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2024/05/blog-post_28.html” titled "सत्तर साल का हिसाब" a response to the BJP faithful to Congress on the work it did for the nation. In this poem, there are two lines that I want to highlight:

"सत्तर साल में जो किया हमने, उसका हिसाब हम देते हैं,

अगर दस साल की बात करें ये, जूतों से ये पिटते हैं।"

This poem discusses the accountability of past governments for their actions over seventy years and contrasts it with the current government's ten-year record, suggesting that they would face severe public backlash if held to account. The prediction proved prophetic when, shortly after the vote count concluded and Modi was re-elected as Prime Minister, public outrage manifested dramatically—a shoe was thrown at Modi, reflecting widespread discontent.

Many believe this election was manipulated, with Modi having strategically placed loyalists in the Election Commission of India (ECI) to secure the maximum number of seats. With the support of two opportunistic parties, he formed a coalition government. Public dissatisfaction is palpable, exacerbated by recent incidents such as a bridge collapse on the eve of its inauguration, a devastating rail accident, and a significant exam paper leak scandal. These events underscore the perception of mismanagement and corruption within the government.

Adding to Modi's woes, during an inauguration at Nalanda University, Bihar's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar publicly humiliated Modi by ensuring he did not take credit for the university, which was funded and developed during the Congress government's tenure. This incident was a stark reminder of the contentious political climate Modi navigates.

In an attempt to salvage his position, Modi sidelined Amit Shah and brought Rajnath Singh to the forefront, presenting him as a more approachable figure. However, Singh's role as the Defense Minister has been largely symbolic, with critical defense decisions made by Shah and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Singh's apparent compliance is seen as a result of compromising positions held by Modi and Shah over him, preventing him from challenging their authority.

The current political scenario is akin to a high-stakes poker game for Modi and Shah, but for the public, it represents a profound betrayal of trust. In some contexts, this level of deception and manipulation could be considered treasonous. As I have argued before, if Modi were to face an independent press conference, his inability to justify his actions transparently would likely force him to step down immediately, exposing the extent of his administration's corruption.

This situation remains fluid and highly charged, with each day bringing new developments and potential shifts in power dynamics. The public's growing discontent and the opposition's strategic maneuvers could lead to significant changes in the political landscape.

How We Turned an Abstract God into Concrete Hate

  How We Turned an Abstract God into Concrete Hate Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/12/blog-post_12.html God was never meant to be owned. In its earliest human understanding, God was abstract, unknowable, and undefined. People did not claim certainty over it. They sensed it in nature, in conscience, in fear, wonder, and humility. Worship had no walls. It happened under open skies, near rivers, in forests, and in silence. Spirituality was personal, inward, and restrained by doubt. Everything broke the moment humans tried to contain the abstract. The moment God was locked inside stone, gold, and spectacle, spirituality was replaced by religion. And once religion took physical form, it demanded control. Someone had to manage God. Interpret God. Defend God. Faith stopped being a personal search and became a collective identity. Identity demanded loyalty. Loyalty demanded enemies. This is where belief became power. At some point, humanity reached an abs...

Distraction as Governance: How a Scripted National Song Debate Shielded the SIR Controversy

  Distraction as Governance: How a Scripted National Song Debate Shielded the SIR Controversy Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5jj6tmNYs20 Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/12/sir_11.html Two days ago, India witnessed a moment that will not be remembered for what Parliament accomplished, but for how deliberately it avoided its responsibilities. Ten hours were spent debating Vande Mataram and reminiscing about 150 old songs, not because Parliament had run out of issues, but because the ruling party needed a distraction. Crucially, this spectacle unfolded just before the scheduled national debate on the Special Summary Revision, a process already mired in allegations of mass voter deletions and electoral manipulation. Seen in context, the timing was not random. It was strategic. It was engineered. The BJP leadership understood that the SIR debate could expose disturbing patterns: unexplained deletions, duplicate voter entries, unexplai...

Superstitions: Where Do They Come From, and Why Do People Believe in Them?

  Superstitions: Where Do They Come From, and Why Do People Believe in Them? Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/12/blog-post_14.html When undesirable events occur in our lives, our natural response is to look for reasons. We try to identify causes so we can avoid repeating the same outcomes. Often, this process is logical and helpful. We learn, adapt, and move forward. But this search for meaning does not always lead us to accurate conclusions. Sometimes, instead of identifying real causes, we attach significance to unrelated details. A coincidence becomes an explanation. A single occurrence becomes a pattern. When this happens, superstition begins to take shape. One of the most striking aspects of superstition is how little evidence it requires. A single event is often enough. If something good happens while a certain object is present, or something bad follows a particular action, the mind quickly connects the two. No repeated testing is needed...
