Rahul Gandhi has now openly identified himself with the ‘Breaking India’ forces. He leads these forces from within India. And, he leads these forces from the front. If there was any doubt left on this count, that is gone today.
On Monday 23rd of April, 2018, Rahul Gandhi while inaugurating his ‘Save Constitution’ campaign, said, “Prime Minister Modi has destroyed the image of India in the outside world. In the four years, India has suffered a serious setback to its image in the world. The talk in the world earlier used to be about the Indian Constitution and strong democracy in India, but now the talk in the world today is about the atrocities on women, violence against Dalits and assaults on minorities.”
So, according to Rahul Gandhi the world is talking about ’atrocities on women’, ‘violence against Dalits’, ‘assaults on minorities.’ But the reality is that the world is talking many things and Rahul Gandhi has picked up some of these talks, to launch his campaign. In selecting his preferred choice of the ‘subjects’ that the world is talking about India, Rahul Gandhi has shown his true colors!
There is not ‘one talk’ in India and there is not ‘one talk’ in the world; India is divided and world is divided between camps of conflicting views, interests and agendas; and, one has to take ‘this’ or ‘that’ side. It is one’s choice of taking a side in these conflicting versions of India – and world – that makes a man friend or foe of India. There are many neutral international agencies – and observers – that rate India as a rapidly rising power of significance in Asia and the world and that rate the Indian Prime Minister Modi as an emerging world leader. But let us leave that apart because Rahul Gandhi has no concern with the objective reality. He seems to be disconnected with not only the Indian people – the voters whom he is trying to woo – but also the realities of this world.
Rahul Gandhi has chosen to take a side against this rising India. Let us examine the merit of the side that he is now aligned with.
Let us see ‘who’ is talking in the world – within India and outside India – about atrocities on minorities, women and Dalits, and what is the merits of such atrocities claims.
There is a well-oiled industry producing this atrocity literature.

In his zeal to attack and destroy Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi chose a totally wrong spot. He started his address in his campaign to ‘Save Constitution’ from a quote in “Karam Yogi”, a booklet written by Modi. In this book in his efforts for a ‘Cleanliness Drive’ in India, Modi has linked the act of cleaning one’s own toilet to spiritualism. In a complaining tone, Rahul Gandhi said, “Now in cleaning toilets and making Pakora (pancakes) also, there looks spiritualism.” What a wrong spot! It can’t be worse than this selection.
Of late, Rahul Gandhi is sporting ‘Janau’ (Hindu sacred thread worn around one’s neck), putting a prominent ‘Tilak’ (Hindu sacred colored mark) on his forehead and missing no opportunity to prostrate before a deity in every temple in India, wherever he goes. Every ordinary Hindu in India (where still 80% are Hindus) loves a person – ignoring his faults and crimes whatever they be – and accords his respect. But there is one condition to such act of sporting ‘Janau’, ‘Tilak’ and ‘prostrating’ before a deity: The act should be genuine and not fake!
By making his aforesaid comment about linking ‘toilet cleaning’ and ‘Pakora making’ with spiritualism, Rahul Gandhi has betrayed his ignorance of Hinduism (where everything is linked to spiritualism) and inadvertently exposed his fake antics!
Is ‘cleaning toilet’ linked to spiritualism? Does Rahul Gandhi understand spiritualism? What is the relation of one’s acts to spiritualism – the path to Divine destination? Every ordinary Hindu knows it; but Rahul Gandhi does not know it!
Sri Aurobindo said, “All life is Yoga”. Does Rahul Gandhi know who is this man called Sri Aurobindo? No chance for him to know Sri Aurobindo, because he (Rahul Gandhi) was not born and brought up as a Hindu, who could have a chance to know what great Indian sages are saying about Hinduism; also, he is not a great intellectual searching for truth, and in his such pursuit reading books of great saints like Sri Aurobindo.
Gita teaches one to make one’s every act (big or small act) to offer to Divine as a path to one’s ultimate submersion in that Divine (attaining ‘Mukti’). Does Rahul Gandhi know it? Again, no chance!
Upanishad(s) teach, again and again, and in different manners that it is one’s acts and one’s attitude towards his acts that make him walk towards the ultimate TRUTH – the Divine! But does Rahul Gandi know it? No chance!
In fact, Rahul Gandhi has chosen a completely wrong spot to attack Narendra Modi. May be, because of the wrong advice of his advisers! But does he depend on his advisers on such a small knowledge of basics of Hindu way of life? Yes, for him, unfortunately!
