Heads Must Roll: Amit Shah’s Border Crisis Sparks Fury

Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/08/blog-post_30.html

When TMC MP Mahua Moitra recently demanded that Union Home Minister Amit Shah be held accountable for failing to protect India's borders, her words struck a nerve, but they weren’t without basis. India continues to face illegal infiltration from weaker neighboring nations, particularly Bangladesh, and in 2024 alone, the BSF reported over 2,000 border breaches. Shah, who has repeatedly promised to tighten national security, now finds his leadership in question.

Moitra’s statement that Shah’s "head must be on the table" has been criticized as incendiary, but in reality, it’s a pointed call for political accountability. As the saying goes, the captain goes down with the ship. When a leader fails in the very area they were empowered to safeguard, the public is right to demand consequences. And by his own admissions in public speeches, Shah has acknowledged these failures, making Moitra’s remarks less of a provocation and more of a reckoning.

What’s more troubling is that Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have used these very border issues to justify calls for implementing the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in Bihar and other states. They position themselves as protectors of national interest, while deflecting criticism for their own lapses. It’s political maneuvering at its most cynical. They want to weaponize failure for electoral gain, while silencing those who call it out.

Notably, Moitra hasn’t yet turned her criticism toward Modi, who shares equal responsibility for these security failures. This shows that her statement isn’t a personal attack, it’s a spotlight on how power is being misused to distract from real shortcomings. If the BJP continues to overreact to this critique instead of addressing the underlying failures, they may find the backlash far more damaging than the original statement itself.

This isn't about political theater; it’s about who answers when the system breaks down. The public is watching.

    BJP has no moral journalists or intellectual leaders, just people who hide behind God to exploit religion. Twisting the TMC leader’s call for accountability is exactly what they’ll do, but only the foolish would misread her demand as anything but rightful criticism.

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...
