Unfit to Lead, Desperate to Rule: How Ignorant Leaders Are Manufacturing a Nation of Followers

Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/10/blog-post_7.html

Today, I watched a YouTube video by Ajay Prakash, which laid bare a dangerous truth: India is being reshaped by leaders who are not just unqualified to govern, but actively hostile to intelligence, history, and progress. These are not visionaries. They are glorified loudspeakers for fiction and fear, trying to mold society in their image, uninformed, obedient, and blind.

This regime isn’t just rewriting history; they’re manufacturing it. They want to inject mythology into textbooks and package it as historical fact. Not because it enlightens, but because it numbs. They want future generations to believe, not to know. They want belief in miracles, not science. They want submission, not curiosity. Because the more ignorant a population is, the easier it is to rule.

Take Narendra Modi. The same man who fell for a con involving “cooking gas from sewage” is unable to recognize a cheap trick because he never learned to question what’s in front of him. When someone this gullible is in charge, and millions look up to him, it becomes a national crisis. This isn't just poor judgment; it's a symptom of a leadership class that fears knowledge and worships illusion.

This ignorance isn’t accidental; it’s strategic. They're not just failing to uplift education; they are attacking it. They're not just indifferent to facts; they are replacing them with fiction. Because an ignorant society doesn’t revolt. It follows.

And then there's Amit Shah.

On September 24, 2025, during a peaceful protest in Ladakh, police opened fire on civilians. Four dead. Dozens injured. And the person arrested wasn’t a violent agitator; it was a community leader, Sonam Wangchuk, known for organizing non-violent protests. Meanwhile, the man ultimately responsible for India’s Home Minister walks free.

What’s the difference between Amit Shah and General Dyer, who ordered the Jallianwala Bagh massacre? Just the uniform. The mindset is the same: if the people speak up, silence them. If they gather, shoot them.

Why isn’t the country in the streets demanding Shah’s arrest? Why isn't the system prosecuting a man who greenlit state violence against its own citizens? If the Constitution guarantees peaceful protest, then what happened in Ladakh was not law enforcement; it was murder.

This is how democracies become dictatorships, not through coups, but through applause. Through silence. Through citizens deciding that lies are easier than the truth. That safety is more important than justice. That belief is better than knowledge.

India did not get here by accident. It got here because it elected a man who lacks the intellectual tools to govern, and then surrounded him with enablers who see power not as responsibility, but as a shield. And the tragedy is that millions see no problem with this. They’ve accepted ignorance as strength and brutality as leadership.

Until the public rises until it demands accountability for leaders like Amit Shah and stops elevating men like Modi, this country will continue to slide into a state where questioning is betrayal, education is dangerous, and obedience is survival.

We cannot keep confusing loudness with leadership, or tradition with truth. A real democracy doesn’t shoot its people. It protects them. And any leader who forgets that any leader who orders violence against peaceful citizens has no place in a free nation.

Not now. Not ever.
