When an election comes, people vote for a political party or a political front, they win with a good majority, and they govern the country or the state in a manner that never betrays their people, with the confidence that they have the full support of so many people. But what if a political party or front is fully aware that the people did not vote for them for any of the many reasons and they did not get the people’s mandate to form a government unless in a crooked way? As there is no other option, because there is no other way to move on, they will be in the opposition and work very hard to win back the trust of the people in the next election. This was the case in India until about 2016, the form of democracy until then in India. This changed in 2016. Many anti-democratic elements in political parties began to force Indian democracy into a new direction, an untoward and unprecedented one, and it became no more Indian democracy.

The reason for this change is not a lack of faith in democracy, lack of interest in democratic procedures, not even a lack of tolerance for both, of the RSS, BJP and the native Hindu corporates Reliance and Adani who rose up suddenly in Indian politics alighted on the wings of communal hatred and violence and who keep as their ultimate goals totally anti-democratic theocracy and corporate fascism, but their fusing together without cover on the calculation that it is time to fulfill their goal, and in the patent style of theocracy, corporatism and fascism, through intimidation, coercion, persuasion, threatening, using force and influence on the Election Commissions, Supreme Courts and Legislatures, Houses of Representatives and the bureaucracy of the country or through gifts and positions enticing, magnetizing and catching them and bringing them under control, starting the election subversive processes and finally making it permanent.

It can be said that the era of corporate election coups started in India with the election commission and the central government unilaterally agreeing to end the ballot paper and introduce electronic voting machines in a way profitable and beneficial to this political-theocorporate amalgam without the people ever asking for it anywhere anytime, and the Supreme Court’s upholding it. In fact, that only the Election Commission and the BJP have asked for the ballot paper to go and the voting machines to come itself is vexatious and reprehensible, suspicious. That move was their most concrete basic move to install a corporate theocracy. After that it was confirmed and became permanent and taken for granted that even if the people did not vote, they could win the elections and form governments using the existing scientific technologies.

Two governments thus formed were Narendra Modi's BJP government in 2019 at the center and the Marxist coalition government in the state of Kerala in 2021 with Pinarayi Vijayan as the chief minister. If we look at it logically, these two governments would never have been voted by the people due to the heavy corruption allegations and very cruel anti-people measures when they were in power just before that. When looked at in terms of power, it was possible without the people’s voting but with all the constitutional institutions which are the ones in the country to hold the electoral processes and install a government as members in their amalgamation, subverting the democracy of the republic in all moves, that is, whoever the people voted for, they could form governments. Overturning all the old concepts of coups after votes have fallen in the ballot box, it was a new system called pre-polling manipulation that they imposed on the Indian electoral process. Rejecting the people's objection to the electronic voting machines and their demand for bringing back ballot papers, with the Election Commission's forehand, it continues with the fist hand inherent in dictatorships and totalitarian theocracies, and they remain in power even if the people did not vote for them.

Swept away and flowing along with the new theo-corporate tide generated in the country, implementing unconstitutional procedures to install them all in rule, the Election Commission and Judiciary are all moving towards the single goal of Hindu Theocorparate rule. Their only fear is that if the people's clamor for the return of the ballot paper succeeds, the machines will go and their new masters- the BJP and the corporates- also with them, and all will be swept away from power and they too will be imprisoned for these anti-republican activities.

India is a nation that welcomed Plato, who some two thousand years ago fled from Athens in fear of powerful anti-learning enemies, and Christ, who fled from Jerusalem in fear of political enemies and murderer rulers, regardless of religion, caste, or country, and accepted them with open arms. Both of them did not even have a drachma in their purses except for the knowledge inside their heads when they came to India. Still, India sheltered them, educated them and sent them back to their native lands when it was time for them to continue their wars. The students of various countries, mostly poor, who came only in search of knowledge were given money and expenses, waived fees, and taught in the world-renowned ancient international universities at Nalanda and Takshashila where thousands of elephants and tens of thousands of horses were given to teachers for travel at the state’s expense, and were sent to recapture the world. Ancient India did not care about anyone's caste, religion, economic status or citizenship. After that, through time, how many thousands of refugees, including the Dalai Lama and his team who fled in fear of China arrived in India!

It was saying they will recreate this unforgettable and impressive ancient India that Reliance, BJP and Adani together created a new Hindu corporate India government by regularly saboteuring through elections without any democratic guilt, with corporate pleasure. After that the first thing they did was to threaten to open a National Register of Citizens to evict lakhs of people who sought asylums and were living in peace in India. And they did it too. Lakhs of people in India are living today in constant fear that they will be kicked out of their beloved Mother India. In such a way as to create such fear for the first time in the history of the country, are the brains of these aspiring rulers so small, narrow and malicious? Hasn’t Indianness ever not touched them, has it not even passed beside them even through a wind? Are these just narrow-minded, intolerant theocratic corpuscular bundles, religious pundtas, which walk around dressed up with sandal-signed foreheads and saffron-clad limbs?

The basic trait that ran through all these anti-republican actions was the hatred, anger, vehemence and animosity of having had to form government without anyone, including their closest, voting for them! The same hatred towards the people was seen in Narendra Modi's central BJP government's demonetization programme. Those who used to keep their meager day-to-day savings in pots, kitchen dug-ins, and closets wrapped up and saved, without knowing anything about this prohibition became bankrupt by overnight and their lives were ruined. It was again seen in the income tax reforms after which the tax revenue from people multiplied many times and that from corporates shrank drastically. When the administration came into the hands of those who have Hindutwa only in their names and the tails in their names denoting their castes, and who do not have it in their hearts, India finally became like this!

So, how many such cruel actions like these have not come from the central BJP government, which was angry with the people for not having voted for them! The exact same experiences like these were the ones experienced by the people of Kerala too from the Pinarayi Vijayan's Marxist party and its government, a serf party and government of the central BJP, which was born in the same way through the window and so was angry at the people. He joining with his children sold all the seas of the fishermen of Kerala and took money in America- an extreme act of hostility towards working people at par with and with permission from the central BJP Hindu extremist government.

It was just a beginning. Undaunted by the inaction of the central government in the above sea sale by a mere state administration, that too to a foreign entity with a track record of many illegal things, saying the world’s grandest Indian Railways is not enough for him and his party's drug trade and so he is building his own Kerala Rail, with the help of rogue police teams illegally entering people’s homes and planting huge yellow demarcation stones marked K-Rail all inside the people's homes, even in their kitchens and toilets and courtyards and vegetable gardens and access pathways making the lands and houses unable to be sold if and when needed, tried to confiscate ten thousands of acres of their precious cultivated land as his party did in the West Bengal and collapsed, and tried to sell it to foreign land traders through his family members.

He raised land, building, property and electricity and water taxes of the people many times for collecting money and going abroad with his wife, children, grand children and hordes of dummy officers at the state’s expense and spend lavishly- himself one who born in a poor family didn’t do any honest work in his life and earn a single honest rupee, all because the members and secretaries in the Central Committee and the State Committee of his Marxist Party, a supposedly Communist party, became vegetables. Thousands of party workers and dummy leaders who do no jobs in their life but live by exploiting the people are lying hanging and swaying on the tail of this family corruption ring like dumb owls.

Will world countries care if democracy and secularism say farewell to India?

World countries care not if democracy says farewell to India. Why should they? They are not democratic countries mostly anyway. Pakistan, Iran and many other countries concerned with Indian matters are fundamentalistically Islamic. They will want India to become totally undemocratic and if possible fundamentalistically Hinduistic so that theirs would be justified. India remaining a democratic country is a challenge to China because their totalitarianist communism fades in the presence of India’s democracy as a humane ruling system. So they naturally want Indian democracy to go so that theirs will thrive and remain in limelight. India’s long-lost ally Russia is now a mafiatic communist totalitarianist country which thinks nothing better of than the ways to prompt and make India a vassal state with no democracy so that their sin of washing down communism with a mug of Mafiosi would be obscured by the shocking news that India has become a non-democratic state. The only other countries which still boast of democracy and have contacts with and influence over India are America, Britain and France. 

2

America was the first proper democracy in the modern world. Britain has stringent democracy laws and proceedings. France was once the by-name for fraternity and freedom. But does anyone anymore consider the American Presidents, the French Presidents or the British Prime Ministers as democrats? In fact, does anyone ever consider the presidents and prime ministers of any of these many countries mentioned here great democrats? Note that these three countries of America, Britain and France are arms manufacturers. Their relationships with India are now purely based on weapons manufacturing, selling and purchasing, not on any democratic sympathies. In fact, they are now being guided by the prospect of an undemocratic or even a fascist India purchasing more weapons from them in the near future. They are gradually changing their arms and foreign policies accordingly. It very much seems a fundamentalistically Hinduistic India existing side by side with a fundamentalistically Islamic Pakistan across the border is their dream, to serve their purpose if come true. 

3

That was why America, Britain and France which were very anxious in every way to keep democracy in Hong Kong did not say a word of protest or condemnation when worthless lives in India suddenly rise up and call for Hindu nation. The most recent was one Sankaracharya of Puri who wanted India to be declared Hindu nation immediately, i.e. before he dies and goes to hell or heaven, so that he would be appointed the Chief Consultant for how to running a Hindu nation! He is too blind and selfish even to become unHinduistic to frankly admit like a saint the fact that there is no democracy or secularism in ancient or modern Indian Hinduism. There are so many other low lifes who openly defy the Indian democracy and the Constitution of India whom neither the Government of India is capable enough to arrest nor the Supreme Court of India alert enough to try- all still being advertised as proof of Indian democracy’s power and the freedom of speech it guarantees! Most of such Hindu religious yelpings come out of Indian parliament members who sworn in in the name of Indian democracy and the Indian constitution and none finds it inappropriate or a crime on their part to proclaim publicly that they would topple democracy and overthrow the constitution to bring in a Hindu corporatocracy. These three ‘namesake democracies’ of America, Britain and France which raised hell in the small island nation of Hong Kong did not see anything untoward going on in the big landmass of India. 

4

So the end result is no country in the world wants India to remain democratic or care if democracy says farewell to India or not, even while the Indians thinking the world is anxious about the future of democracy in India and is hoping India would keep democracy safe for them. The fact is no one except Indians care about the survival of democracy in India. And do these world countries care for India’s secularism? Yes, they do. As almost all countries in this world are secular either by formation or by declaration and those countries almost all are tormented by the domestic demand by the dominant religious factions in their countries for recognizing them as the official religion, the administrations in these countries do wish to see India remain a secular state. It is not because any of these rulers are noble by birth or by bringing up to see secularism secured but because if India becomes a theocratic country their own countries’ secular stand would weaken and endanger their export and import future. As almost all nations today depend on market economy, becoming a religious country would be detrimental to the interests of their market economy and world trade- a situation Iran finds itself in today. 

5

Ethiopia, Kenya, Congo, Madagascar, Nigeria, South Africa and even Uganda in Africa are secular countries either by formation or by declaration. China, India, Japan, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Turkey and Vietnam in Asia are secular countries. Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden in Europe are secular countries. In the North American and South American continents Canada, Cuba, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama and the United States of America, and Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Peru and Venezuela respectively are secular countries. The constitutions of Mexico and the United States even state that their parliaments cannot enact laws establishing or prohibiting any religion in future. They establish that their secularism is default by constitution and their parliaments can pass no laws to change this secularism as it is with India. Australia, the queen of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean which is a secular commonwealth, also has this special clause built into their constitution, of prohibiting any future law-making to change this default secularism. 

6

Argentina, Bangladesh, Finland, Indonesia, Israel, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Norway, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Syria and Thailand are countries where one or other religion prevails but no body can overrule the secularist rights of their citizens. The United Kingdom is the only absurdity among these countries where Scotland, Ireland and Wales do not obey the official Church of England but have their own churches and are answerable only to the queen! But still the UK guarantees co-existence of all religions in their kingdom. The many countries mentioned here are not the only countries in the world where state has the sworn-in duty and responsibility to ensure secularism; they are also countries where Christianity or Islam or Buddhism or Judaism rule or try to impose themselves as the official religion. In a few countries which were secular on formation they succeeded in changing this. Those countries are Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq- the model nations India is now trying to imitate, after falling from the loftiness of being the leader and hope of all democratic and secular states in the world!

171. Why BBC released this special broadcast on India’s glorious past now all of a sudden at this particular time?

Why BBC released this special broadcast on India’s glorious past now all of a sudden at this particular time?

The Science Museum at South Kensington, London, UK, founded in 1857 exhibits invaluable articles in the history of science and regularly holds special exhibitions the entry to which are free. Recently they unveiled a new exhibition on India of historical objects belonging to India’s rich hidden scientific past, especially looking at ancient India’s achievements in mathematics, metallurgy and civil engineering. This exhibition covers several centuries of Indian history, from the ancient past of the Indus Valley Civilization to the 19th and the early 20th century developments, with relics from the time under the British Colonial Rule to show how colonial rule helped India develop science. The artifacts abruptly stop at the beginning of the 21st century, meaningfully.

The BBC World Service Discovery last on 8th October 2019 aired a science discovery news broadcast titled ‘India's Ancient Science’, covering the India exhibition at the Science Museum. Do you know why the BBC released this special 23 minutes issue on the glorious past of India now? While supposedly ‘rediscovering influential Indian ideas on mathematics, metallurgy and engineering’, it’s a political stunt. Read, or listen to, their words very very carefully. They issued it to stress that India has had a great past in ingenious science, technology, philosophy, literature and politics, but now India is being ruled by undereducated and uneducated morons, and India now has to borrow science and technology from other countries abroad and the people of India are neither alert nor bold enough to respond to this moronic and boorish regime as courageously as they even very recently in the middle of the 20th century forced the British out of India. Especially note these lines of theirs: ‘The past does matter, and it mattered especially a hundred years ago, as Indians fought to establish their independence from the British in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, their scientific history was a reminder, that if they could do such great things before, they could do them again now.’ It is common knowledge and everyone knows it. Then, why now? BBC knows well the attitude of the British people (not of their government) in their keenness and that of the Indian people in their resignedness towards India’s ‘democracy’ is changing.

What should Mr. Rahul Gandhi do- show his neck for more betrayal from Communist parties, regional parties, and his own partymen?

  Article Title Image 1 By Jan Vašek. Graphics: Adobe SP.


The Indian National Congress’ President and the Communist Party of India (Marxist)’s General Secretary did their best before the 2019 Parliament Elections to convince Marxists in the states including Kerala that a Congress-Marxist Alliance at the national level is a must and is what the time demands to thoroughly defeat BJP, but what did the Marxists in Kerala under the leadership of Mr. Pinarayi Vijayan and Mr. Kodiyeri Balakrishnan do? They laughed out their General Secretary’s option and contested the elections against Congress! Congress was willing to share eight seats with them but they opposed Congress and ended in winning only one seat in Kerala. The Communist Party of India which was the first to argue for a Congress-Communist Alliance and which spent thousands of eloquent hours to elaborate on the need for such a political alliance, when the elections came, turned 180 degrees and put up their candidate against Mr. Rahul Gandhi in Wayanadu! So, Mr. Rahul Gandhi perfectly well understands what betrayal is, especially betrayal by the Communist parties of India. These two Communist parties were not even willing to accept that Congress’ massive defeat was entirely due to election manipulations by the BJP and Reliance. Finding it not pleasant to antagonize Reliance, they sought other explanations for Congress’ defeat. They still do. What should Mr. Rahul Gandhi do- show his neck for more betrayal from these two Communist parties, other regional parties, and his own partymen? In the wake of state elections in October 2019 it is alleged by these Communist parties and the Congress itself that he is nowhere to be seen and is supposed to have gone abroad for something personal. It is also known that all opposition political parties in India are boycotting the local body elections in Kashmir since almost all opposition leaders are put in jail by BJP. Betrayers need no leaders; it’s natural. Let him go somewhere- anywhere- and lick his wounds. He is young and he has time. If he pulls out of Congress’ leadership now, it will be the greatest blow to the two Communist parties, because from then onwards it will be their sole responsibility fighting and defeating BJP. Thus these two Communist parties will be forced to stop secretly supporting BJP and doing everything for its victory, but antagonize BJP and come in the open fighting them.

Buying MLAs and MPs like cattle in India is good for democracy: People will loose confidence in representatives and demand direct democracy

  Article Title Image 1 By Marcel Langthim. Graphics: Adobe SP.

Rules and laws are made in thousands by the people’s representatives in the parliament and the state assemblies but they did not make any law to imprison, fine, payment of election expenses, disbarment from future elections or hang those MLAs and MPs who change the party he was elected from before his term is over and betray the voters in his constituency. We would expect our representatives in the various law-making bodies to have made such decent laws for the country but they did not. That is why we never hear about such laws. That is because they always are thinking about jumping parties and being bought for huge amounts of money by the other side. So that’s why they do not make it a crime severely punishable by law. How convenient! After people voting an MLA or a MP for an ideal or a party, he can jump that party in groups and join another party or even form a new party! There is no punishment for such betrayal of voters in a constituency by their parliamentary representative!! So this jumping of parties by people’s representatives has been going on in India for so many years. In fact all political parties in India except the original Indian National Congress and the Communist Party of India were formed out of this party jumping by betrayers of voters. We have never heard any of these representatives punished, fined, disbarred and/or imprisoned for betraying people as it is plain betrayal of people.

For a few years we have also been hearing about representatives being ‘bought’ for incredibly huge prices. Unless India is not a democracy human beings cannot be bought and sold. It must either be a non-democracy or it must be non-humans involved. So these MPs and MLAs who are now being bought and sold for a price are now not human beings but just cattle. Do not think it is just a simile. The question that every Indian asks publicly when they hear about news of a few MLAs or MPs having been bought and sold for a price is ‘are they cattle’. Why should cattle represent human beings in parliament and assemblies? If human beings, considering the sacredness and urgency of democracy, can spare a little time go sitting in parliament and state assemblies by bodily presence or by online, why depend on cattle to run that democracy? Technology has advanced from the time of ancient Athens and a little-time-later-Rome to nullify the effect of the increased population on the limited space of parliament and assemblies. 

So, gradually, the people of India are loosing confidence not in democracy but in people’s representatives. Good. It is very good for democracy. It is moving towards a ‘people versus people’s representatives’. It is people who own their representatives once they are elected to a parliamentary body by them, not the political parties which nominated and hoisted them. What happens when our representative or servant betrays us and goes to the other side? Knowing that good servants won’t be available for a long time to come, we simply dismiss him from our employment and take up his job ourselves. Here in this case people simply dismisses representational democracy and switches to representational democracy, first in their mind, and then in the body politic. No one would have paid a price for those representatives had they not been anyone’s representatives. So why not do with those representatives and everyone ask their price?

Postal Votes mean State Employees and Army Personnel- indeed a cross section of our society though not a perfect cross section. All service votes went to the ruling party BJP in spite of the opposition parties having the greatest number of government servants in their organizations made the people of India distrust the election processes. Anyway, more and more people have begun to distrust the electronic voting machines after the 2019 Parliament Elections in India and the demand for bringing back Ballot Papers is gaining strength.


  Article Title Image 2 By Geralt. Graphics: Adobe SP.
 
BJP which had been steadily loosing polls in the state assembly elections throughout the country in 2018 securing 350 seats in the 2019 parliament elections made people suspicious of voting machines more than ever. In the coming years the campaign for Bringing Back Ballot Papers is only going to strengthen in India as it is already strengthening throughout the world. Many advanced countries- far advanced than India- are abandoning electronic voting machines for fear of massive manipulations and rigging and replacing them with Ballot Papers as earlier.



Article Title Image 3 By Benjamin Lambert. Graphics: Adobe SP.

 
Governments want electronic voting machines to remain and people want them to go. We know why. Do not believe in people who shout machines are infallible and cannot be manipulated. They are those people who do not reveal personal details in social media like Face Book, Twitter and Linked In, fearing machines and systems would manipulate and misuse them!

136

Will BJP’s manipulating the elections ultimately lead to the end of all elections in India?

  Article Title Image 1 By Craig Whitehead. Graphics: Adobe SP.
The hold of Marxist Party is limited only to a few states in India and their manipulating the elections, if they ever dare do it, will not have any significant impact on the national scene. But BJP, with the backing of RSS and its multi Hinduist organizations, if turn to manipulation of election processes, will have the ability to create a deadly impact on the national scene. It may even end the election and the democratic process in India. If you are old, you are old, and cannot be old and young at the same time. If you want to keep your faith firmly in centuries-old traditions and are doggedly opposing to the transformations happening to society in the modern day world, you cannot be modern and current too at the same time.

Not eating beef is a centuries old Hindu tradition and if you want to retain it in a modern society, you are plainly against a population-increasing world beginning to eat whatever won't be biting back. If you are a politically oriented Hindu and want to ban beef-eating, and if you get the ruling power of India, then you will soon find that you want to install an Emperor, to keep up with ages-old Indian Hindu traditions. (You needn't lust; the Reliance Industries' Chief is already selected to that post!). So, if you want to keep Hindu traditions, you cannot at the same time keep democracy. So, the fear prevalent in India that if the BJP comes to power a third time in India that will be the end of Indian democracy and the beginning of a 1000-year dictatorship like the once dreamed about 1000-Year Reich of Hitler's Germany which the whole world united to crush down is justified.
