India Today - Part 1

Hindu Extremism is on the rise. Hindu nationalists are xenophobic and love war-mongering. It serves Modi's 'successful' political model of Gujrat really well. But will it work? Is India resilient enough to withstand current tide of extremism? Before we probe into this, lets see how Pakistan fared through dire straits of extremism.
Now brace yourself. Pakistani nation is the most resilient nation on God's earth. It has been tossed around between worst dictatorships & even worse political regimes. There is serious competition between the both for being worst than the other. Politicians joined the bandwagon of dictotors and juiciary bowed to the laws of necessity. Particularly three darker decades (1985-2018) when politicians were born & bred in dictatorships,  on every given opportunity that had fiascos of corruption besides hitting each other where it hurt the most. Yet, this nation weathered the storms of darkest dictatorships and darker democratic reigns.
Pakistan is surrounded by Far Right Governments all around. Whereas, despite continuous hullabaloo of extremism for past three decades, Pakistani people resisted, fought & overcame the menace. Because this nation is not bonded by something as fragile as Secularism. Though we badly mismanaged ourselves, ransacked our own ideology but both people and ideology has the strength to resist and recover.
Starting from China, a one party communist government and a shade of extremism. Afghanistan is synonymous with Taliban extremism, whereas, Iran is epicenter of shia extremist form of government. And India's mask of secularism is giving way to its ugly hindu nationalist extremist face. In North, we have Himaliyas and in South Indian Ocean. So its extremist form of government, people and geography all around us. All these shades of extremism have attacked us from all sides but none lasted for long. Such is the strength of this nation.
Second term of BJP will change India forever.
Wait for part 2 on India's current wave of extremism, its impact on us and future.
