Terrorism as Strategy: When the Real Attack Comes from Within

Terrorism is rarely random. It’s a tool. Sometimes used by the powerless to shake power. More often, used by the powerful to control the powerless.

In global geopolitics, we've seen this before. The U.S. armed militias to fight Russia in Afghanistan. When the war ended, they walked away. What rose from that abandonment? Al-Qaeda. When the same strategy repeated in the Middle East, it birthed ISIS. That's what happens when statecraft plays God with violent proxies.

But in India, terrorism has evolved into something darker. It’s not an insurgency. It’s political theater.

In earlier governments, when terror struck, ministers resigned. Heads rolled. Accountability was expected. But under Modi’s BJP, every attack is followed not by answers but by applause. Flags wave. Emotions surge. Votes get cast. And no one is held responsible.

Remember Pulwama? Soldiers were killed days before the election. No military accountability. No intelligence failures admitted. Just emotional exploitation, surgical strikes, and an election victory.

Now, a blast in Delhi conveniently lands ahead of a crucial voting phase. Modi leaves the country. Shah’s busy plotting Bihar. Who’s in charge? Doesn’t matter. Because all the ruling party needs is one explosion, one hashtag, and the herd will scream “Modi, Modi” on cue.

This isn’t governance. This is a production. A nation run like a reality show, scripted, timed, weaponized.

And the audience? Numb. Conditioned. Socially engineered.

We are watching a country where a chaiwala is ignored until he wears saffron robes. Where illiteracy is sold as authenticity. Where education is mocked, and slogans are sacred. Where logic is treason, and propaganda is patriotism.

Modi didn’t invent this strategy. He just perfected it. Hate is currency. Chaos is a campaign strategy. Terror is political capital.

And social media? Once a tool for free speech, now a toxic wasteland of paid trolls, fake narratives, and hate machines. Truth doesn’t stand a chance when the algorithm rewards outrage.

The real attack on India isn’t coming from across the border. It’s coming from inside the government. The public is being distracted, divided, and dehumanized not by bombs, but by belief systems designed to keep them angry, blind, and obedient.

Ask yourself: Why are no heads rolling? Why is no one ever accountable? Why do attacks always arrive right on schedule, just before elections? Why is grief always redirected into votes?

Because this isn’t failure. Its design.

And the saddest part? The victims cheer for it.

India is not asleep. India is sedated. Numbed by a decade of manufactured rage and wrapped in saffron-tinted pride. This isn’t nationalism. It’s national hypnosis.

The terror isn’t in the blast. It’s in what comes after nothing. No answers. No justice. Just slogans. Just silence. Just more votes.

    The word terrorism has become the favorite detergent of dirty politics. It cleans up every political crime neatly, especially under the Modi government. Whenever the heat rises, out comes the “terror” card, perfect for winning elections, changing the topic, distracting the public, and blaming whoever dares to think differently. A masterstroke really divides the nation, ruling over its wounds. And who pays the price? Not the powerful, of course. It’s always the innocent minorities, the poor, and the lower castes who bleed for the sins of the privileged. India hardly holds a monopoly on hypocrisy; across the world, “civilized” nations have made scapegoating an art form. However, India’s version has an extra twist: a judiciary that appears to be allergic to courage. Our courts prefer silence over truth, comfort over justice, and servitude over spine. Bravo, democracy mission accomplished.

      You’re absolutely right, you’ve said the silent truth out loud, the one most people are too scared to utter. Ever since independence, religious groups have been working tirelessly to dismantle the very democracy that gave them freedom. If one traces every major terrorist act in India, the fingerprints often lead back to some ideological or religious outfit, and the RSS tops that list, beginning with the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. Sardar Patel was absolutely right when he wanted to banish the RSS from India. Unfortunately, Nehru viewed that move as too authoritarian a decision that, in hindsight, might have saved India from decades of communal poison had Patel’s instinct prevailed. From there, the story of terror was repackaged, marketed as nationalism, painted in saffron, and sold as patriotism. It took leaders like Indira Gandhi to stare this monster in the eye and still move the nation forward. She had flaws, but she never traded India’s integrity for political survival. Today’s rulers, however, have perfected that dark art; they’ve turned fear into a policy, hate into a campaign, and lies into a virtue. And somehow, they still call it nation-building.

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...
