Breaking News: Truth Hurts

In a recent discussion, I encountered someone who was convinced that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's stellar leadership, India has magically become free from terrorist attacks. They even brought up the Balakot strike, proudly highlighting it as a response to the Pulwama terrorist attack. Well, imagine my surprise this morning when I learned about yet another terrorist attack in Kashmir, where five Indian soldiers, including higher-ranking officers, lost their lives. To add to this, since June 4th, 2024, there have been eight such attacks in India. These pesky facts don’t align with the fantasy of a terror-free nation under Modi.

During the Congress rule, terrorist attacks used to grab national media attention, but now they barely make a blip on the radar. The general public remains blissfully unaware and feels wonderfully safe, much like a pigeon burying its head in the sand while a cat approaches. I had no idea that under this administration, intellect would take such an extended vacation.

Let’s not forget the Balakot airstrike, often paraded as a shining example of Modi's decisive leadership. However, this strike was a reaction to the Pulwama terrorist attack, which could have been avoided if the government had taken proper measures to protect those soldiers. Even the then-Governor of Jammu and Kashmir pointed out security lapses that, if addressed, might have prevented the Pulwama tragedy. So, rather than being a proactive success, the Balakot strike was a reaction to a preventable failure.

Trying to have a logical discussion with hardcore BJP followers is like trying to talk sense into a wall—except walls don’t talk back with mindless arguments. It's as if their intellect has gone on a long vacation, leaving behind only unwavering loyalty. It’s frustrating to engage with those who argue without concrete data, defying all logic. It forces one to think you are talking to a wall—sorry, even a wall doesn’t talk back with mindless support.

Even prominent figures like Sri Shankaracharya Ji criticize Modi's administration, calling him a "fake Hindu." According to Shankaracharya Ji, anyone who propagates violence and betrays public trust stands against Hindu principles of truth and integrity. Yet, acknowledging this would require intellect and critical thinking, which seem to be in short supply among Modi's ardent supporters. As one post aptly put it, "We are less afraid of stupid people losing the nation but should be afraid of those who are smart but pretend to be stupid, allowing the downfall of a nation."

Sri Shankaracharya Ji has also accused the government of stealing 228 kg of gold from a temple, an accusation that the media has conveniently ignored. The media has taken on the role of cheerleader rather than watchdog, failing to hold the government accountable and keeping the public in the dark. This lack of scrutiny allows corruption and incompetence to flourish unchecked.

Despite these challenges, it is crucial to continue efforts to educate and inform the public. Many of Modi's followers are friends and family members who might be unaware of the realities due to their diet of government-controlled news. Encouraging them to look beyond the carefully edited propaganda and seek out reliable data is essential. The current state of affairs underscores the need for citizens to ask tough questions and hold their leaders accountable.

In conclusion, the fairy tale of a terrorist-free India under Modi's leadership does not hold up under scrutiny. Recent attacks and the government's mishandling of security and corruption issues highlight significant challenges. The media must fulfill its role in informing the public, and for citizens to engage critically with the information they receive. Only through vigilant and informed citizenship can India hope to address these pressing issues effectively. So, perhaps it’s time for Modi's supporters to call back their intellect from its extended vacation and open their eyes to the truth.
