NaMo Tsunamo
Published in: Blogs | Category: General
Let me not say anything in the beginning of this blog about whether it’s political or not — because frankly, I don’t know. The title just struck me during a walk earlier today.
Modi’s clean sweep in the elections has hit the opposition like a tsunami. They certainly needed a wave to wash over them — but the problem with tsunamis is that scum, once flung ashore, doesn’t just disappear. It festers, stinks, and eventually floats back. You can’t wish it away — real Swachchta Abhiyans are needed to deal with it.
Modi, the Cleaner-in-Chief
Modi has shown the courage and conviction to clean up the system. What he truly needed — and what he now clearly has — is the full support of the people. Despite his confidence, he was constantly hounded by skeptics and armchair critics. Even Time Magazine labeled him the “Divider in Chief,” warning that his continuation as Prime Minister could be “dangerous for democracy.”
Well, the people have delivered their reply — loudly, clearly, and without mincing words. “F* you,”** they’ve said to foreign mouthpieces who peddled bias as journalism.
So much negativity was being spread that it makes one wonder: Who funds these narratives? Has the media, globally, become so morally bankrupt that campaigns can be bought, and plots against leaders executed like movie thrillers? If the price is right, will they add murder and mayhem too?
One foreign channel even aired a bizarre claim that Indian EVMs were going to be secretly swapped out with ones pre-loaded for BJP. Is this a joke? Is India’s voting system a circus to them?
Enemies Within
Foreign interests have always preferred a weak and fractured India. That’s understandable. What’s disheartening is when our own people begin helping them — even colluding.
The moment opposition leaders saw themselves drowning in the Modi wave, they turned to abuse. For decades, India has been ruled by parties that played the caste and communal cards to keep us divided. Now that this man has called them out, exposed their rot — they’re shaking in their boots. Worse, they’re looking abroad for help.
This is exactly how we got two thousand years of invasions and foreign rule. We must stay alert.
The Congress Farce
It’s in the news that Rahul Gandhi may step down. His mother did something similar five years ago — and like clockwork, the Congress veterans rushed to crown her again. No one had the guts to say what everyone was thinking:
The party needs vision, not nostalgia.
And now Rahul — the reluctant prince — must wear a legacy like a crown. It’s not a throne; it’s a burden. He doesn’t seem to get that. But then, who else is there? The “Grand Alliance” formed before the elections had a queue of PM hopefuls longer than a movie ticket line on a Friday. All dispersed now — swept aside by the Modi Bhakts.
But this isn’t just about Congress anymore. I don’t see one strong, sincere nationalist in the entire opposition today. And that’s alarming. Every democracy needs a constructive opposition to keep the ruling party honest — a watchdog, not a lapdog.
Even among the BJP’s newly elected MPs, some raise questions. Victory doesn’t equal virtue. And as for Modi’s successor? I don’t see one. Nor anyone being groomed for the job.
