A New Low in Modi's Parliamentary Speech: A Critical Analysis


Modi Leaving the Parliament as TMC MP Started to Speak

 

In his first parliamentary address after the 2024 elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi set a new low, showcasing behavior unbecoming of a national leader. Having lost significant political ground, Modi's demeanor continues to reflect the same arrogance and dismissiveness that has marred his tenure.

Modi's attempt to belittle the Leader of the Opposition by referring to him as possessing a "child's intellect" not only insults the intelligence of his political counterpart but also undermines the gravity of the issues raised by the opposition, issues that directly affect the lives of millions of Indians. This kind of rhetoric, far from enhancing Modi's image, calls into question his mental state. In more advanced democracies, such behavior would prompt demands for a psychological evaluation.

The Prime Minister operates in an environment where his high position allows him to sway public opinion with relative ease. However, even the usually supportive media, often referred to as "Godi Media," seems to struggle with defending such indefensible remarks from a leader expected to embody statesmanship.

Recent electoral defeats in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra have evidently exacerbated Modi's frustrations, with his ego taking a direct hit. The Indian populace, having witnessed Rahul Gandhi's speech live, is well aware of the substantive points he raised. Gandhi's increasing popularity post-speech likely intensifies Modi's irritation.

Social media is rife with rumors about possible shifts within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), indicating unrest and uncertainty. While the veracity of these rumors is debatable, the underlying tension within the party is palpable.

In another sphere, the celebration of India's cricket team after their World Cup victory was unparalleled. While the public's exuberance is commendable, comparisons with countries like Australia and England, where such victories are more common, reveal a tendency to over-celebrate singular achievements. These nations, accustomed to frequent victories, see no need for such grandiose celebrations. This contrast underscores a misplaced sense of grandeur in India's response.

The recent fluctuation of the US dollar from 84.36 to 83.67 rupees has been exaggerated by the Indian media as a significant decline. This is another example of media distraction, diverting attention from Modi's controversial actions.

The role of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in these celebrations also reflects a misplaced emphasis on power and money. The notion that Modi played a role in India's World Cup win is laughable, underscoring the absurdity of attributing the team’s success to political figures. The presentation of the Best Fielder Award by Jay Shah, who offered no acknowledgment of the players' accomplishments, highlighted his lack of qualifications and his presence solely due to his father's political position.

Returning to Modi's remarks about the Leader of the Opposition, it is clear that the Prime Minister is struggling under pressure. Rahul Gandhi, trained from a young age in leadership, undertook a 10,000 km journey across India, reminiscent of Mahatma Gandhi's efforts to unite a divided nation. Although the INDIA bloc did not come to power, Gandhi's efforts significantly weakened Modi's dominance. Modi faced not just Gandhi, but also a biased media, substantial financial influence, and controlled government agencies, including the Election Commission of India (ECI), which seemed to have capitulated to Modi's influence.

In light of these challenges, Rahul Gandhi's achievements are noteworthy. Modi's fear of Gandhi is apparent, and while he may attempt various distractions, a well-coordinated opposition is now poised to hold him accountable and demand answers to the nation's pressing questions.

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...
