The Movement in India Is No Longer Just a Student Movement
The Movement in India Is No Longer
Just a Student Movement
What is happening in India is a movement against the
government that won't end. In 2012, Anna Hazare raised the issue of corruption,
and people bought into it, which led to the downfall of the Congress
government. Over the last 12 years, no one has been charged. That does not mean
corruption did not take place; it simply means contracts were assigned through
proper channels and may have been given to selected businesses that the
government felt had a better chance of completing those projects.
What the BJP has done has taken corruption to a whole new
level that no one had seen in the history of India. People committed suicide
because of their actions, and the government refused to take ownership of this
corruption. To stay in power, the government used every tool to steal
elections, which required putting the system in the hands of those businesses
that would turn around and help buy the system for Modi and Shah.
The lid on the corrupt intent and corruption of Modi and Shah
has been lifted, and this student movement is no longer just a student
movement; rather, it is becoming a movement of the nation, which will not end
without the resignation of Modi and Shah. Gyanesh may resign, but I think,
starting with Seema Khanna and TCS, this investigation will eventually lead to
Modi and Shah, which is bad news for both of them.
Many people have forgotten what happened when the judiciary
squeezed Mrs. Gandhi. So I continue to believe that regardless of how many
corrupt judges there may be, there are still a few who can make a huge
difference in getting to the bottom of these alleged crimes involving Modi and
Shah. We may even see a direct role of Adani and Ambani in this entire episode,
which may explain why money is used to buy power. Will it work? I am not sure.
The anger in the nation against the government is coming from
all sides. Both Modi and Shah have chosen to use a heavy hand against the
protesters, with accusations that members of the RSS have been injected into
the police system. This is seen by many as a last-ditch effort by them. Even in
the media that once sang only the government's songs, fractures are beginning
to appear.
So when we combine the opposition parties and the CJP, the
disaster for Modi and Shah is written all over. Neither of them has the skills
to speak to the media unless you give them a platform where they can speak only
from one direction without being challenged. When we combine everything that is
happening in India, it is easy to see why people believe the downfall of this
government may be coming. It may also explain why Modi and Shah are hiding and
only giving commands to their troops from a distance.
There is one more thing. There are rumors that many BJP
members want to leave the party, but Congress may not be willing to welcome
them because many in the past have betrayed the Congress Party. If I were Rahul
Gandhi and wanted to bring new energy into the party, I would look for new
blood among these students who have put their lives on the line for the nation.
They may give the party the kind of leaders who would work for the nation and
be less corrupt to start with.
The revolt in India that we are seeing today may finally
bring a new government with new energy, one that wants to lift India by lifting
everyone, and not just a few, as we have seen in the past. Every revolution
leaves its mark on history. Some change governments, while others change the
direction of a nation.
What we are seeing today may become much bigger than a fight
against one government. It may become a fight for the kind of India the next
generation wants to build. Despite all the anger and turmoil, I feel this
revolution may become a turning point in India's history, and the best days of
India may still be ahead.
