Ok, lets take this posting of yours and analyze it a bit, in the context of what you have posted recently:
"I have said time and again that I am not a fan of the Congress(I). If I chose to criticize the BJP
a whole lot more, it is only because (a) they are the pretenders to the high moral ground, when
in reality they are just as scummy as the rest,..."
Actually the pretenders to the "high moral ground" are the so-called secular parties like Congress(I)! It's they who have been claiming for the past 50-odd years that they have the interest of the minorities such as the muslims, SC/ST, etal on top of their agenda. And some, nay many, suckers have been falling for this posture for the last 50 years, and continue to do so. Lets call a spade a spade, and dump Congress(I) into the dustbin of history as a failed party in free India. Just like Russia did with communism. If after 50 years of driving India and Indians to misery, they still have the gall to portray themselves as the guardians of all things good, it only shows two things:
1) that they are very good at fooling people all the time(!! I thought this was not possible)
2)that the people of India, especially those targetted by Congress(I) are really stupid to still believe in them. Or illiterate. Or Educated but stupid. Or...
With such Congress(I) blinkers on, one naturally sees anything BJP does as wrong. Being an opposition party does not mean to oppose everything, and it definitely doesn't mean trying to come to power by pulling down govts at every opportune moment.
If BJP and Congress(I) are equally scummy, as you said above, then your posts sure dont seem to show it. If your beef is againt *people* here in the US who think highly of BJP, fight them! Why are you denigrating BJP exclusively? Why not denigrate the others, too, equally? As for claiming that BJP has exclusive control of the high moral grounds, facts prove otherwise. It's just your contention. The world over people seem to think that BJP(thanks to some misguided elements of RSS/VHP/BajrangDal) is in the wrong.
No, I seriously believe that you have something against BJP itself. And the other scummy parties can commit murder, but will still be the goody-goody boy in your books. And yes, IMO, what Congress(I) has done to India is worse than murder. (think you have the reasonableness to acknowledge this atleast?)
Again, you are not criticising BJP "a whole lot more". From the previous few posts atleast, you are criticising the BJP exclusively.
"and (b) there is a perception among many
Indians, esp. those who are in the US, that the BJP is indeed the best thing to happen to India
since ages."
Well, as I said, either you fight perceptions, or you fight facts. No point mixing them up. |
