Flattering as it may be that OpIndia.com has decided to sanctify my Twitter suspension by claiming that I support the murder of 26 CRPF personnel in Chattisgarh, the point that this "Nationalists Anonymous" support group is trying to create a false equivalence between the two events.
Of course, my views on the massacre are indeed controversial but controversial because they require every Indian to question what their tax money is being used for and who it is used to kill.
Some plain and simple facts for the fake Nationalists in the country to ponder upon.
1. Why has the Indian security establishment consistently failed in preventing the murder of its own every six months? How can 3 years of inefficient Intelligence gathering be defended?
2. As I have said before, "No tribal or adivasi reads the Communist Manifesto or the Red Book before picking up the Gun. He and she picks up the gun because of what the State has heaped upon them."
3. Let us not behave like the CRPF and Army are in the Red Corridor on some Halloween Candy quest. They are there TO KILL people. That the Indian Establishment does not give you a weekly body count of who they kill is partly the reason for the singular outrage when they get it back every now and then. This is a war and people on both sides and civilians get killed in War.
4. I and other Indians are not beholden, duty bound, or constitutionally indebted to support the security apparatus of this country blindly. These security personnel have committed many an atrocity from Kunan Pashpora, to AFSPA fake encounters for Bonuses in the North East, Rapes and Molestations of Civilians wherever they are posted.
5. The Hindu Upper Caste love for the army is not because of any Nationalist construct inherently - as would be the case in any other country that has destroyed its Feudal Systems. The love is because the Army protects the Hegemony of the Brahmin, Baniya and their servants - the Kshatriyas.
6. Understand that the Indian army like our Railways is colonial legacy. An Army that is built upon Regionalism, Casteism, and an objective of Protecting the State and not its people. If you doubt that, note how may times the Indian Army is deployed to suppress Indians rather than to engage in external conflict.
7. The Indian Army upholds Brahminical Hegemony structurally by existing to protect the rule of the Brahminical Indian Parliament and its Bourgeois Democracy. It is made up of the Brahmin servant Castes of Rajputs, Marathas, Jats, etc at the Officer level to direct the lower Castes to ensure that the current system is intact at the barrel of a gun.
This is what the Security Establishment is. The Nationalist "Love for the Army" is only because it IS THE CASTE SYSTEM in living glory, the system that the Inbred Brahmin created... that the servant castes believe THEY command.
What is the solution? A People's Army - one that is made up and is commanded by the People of this Country, the Working Classes, the Poor, the Dalits, the Tribals and Adivasis - not the ruling elite. Consider this.... Tomorrow if India goes to War with Pakistan it is on the commands of an unelected President and a Prime Minister who commands only 30% of the popular vote. And in the event of a war, will protect the Ruling Elites, the Rich of this country, the Upper Castes first and the rest of the people later.
This would be an Army and Security Apparatus that Indians can truly respect. Not one commanded by the Colonial force that is Delhi. We need an Army that protects the People - Not the Brahminical system, where Delhi and Business interests supercede the Constitutional Rights of People.
(Of course....make no mistake about the fact that if a Dalit or Adivasi was made the head of the Army, the Hindu Fascist Terror Organisation RSS, would be the first to openly start an Armed Revolt. I would welcome that. So that every member of this group is executed publically like Mussolini was.)
