BJP’s 1975 Moment Has Arrived And Even Their Own People Can Smell the Collapse

The last time India saw something like this was 1975 when Jayaprakash Narayan’s movement and the Allahabad High Court’s verdict against Indira Gandhi shook the government to its core. Back then, the fight was over one seat. Today, the fight is over the survival of an entire regime.

Yesterday, over 300 opposition MPs marched to the Election Commission to demand accountability. They didn’t get past the gates arrested before they could even knock. In a functioning democracy, that’s called suppression. In today’s India, it’s just another Tuesday.

And here’s the twist: the panic isn’t just in the opposition camp. BJP’s own leaders are starting to openly question the ECI. Nitin Gadkari has already said 3.5 lakh votes vanished from his constituency. NDA partners, once comfortably riding Modi’s coattails, are suddenly holding closed-door meetings and wondering if it’s time to grab a lifeboat.

This isn’t a slow erosion of power it’s a dam cracking in real time. The arrests, the silencing, the tightening of control they reek of desperation. Even loyalists can see the writing on the wall: when the courts start delivering FIRs and the political floodgates open, nobody wants to be standing next to the man at the center.

Modi’s government is approaching its 1975 moment. And if history has taught us anything, it’s that once the collapse begins, it’s not a slide it’s a freefall.

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...
