Organised Genocide Approaching South India: The Fear of Modi Administration's Onslaught on Southern States

Hello World,
There is a dangerous political trend sabotaging our country as we speak. Whatever is happening under the leadership of Modi is carefully destroying India. If you care to look into the why/how parts of the fact, please read on. 


I belong to those regions where the PM has deliberately decided to ignore people' welfare just because his party can never win an election here. We in this part [South India] are desperately waiting for this government to leave so anything else can deliver a safe environment for us. We are not in a position to choose a specific group based on any political orientation. We consider anything instead of the current administration. Such is the state of our desperation.



It is incredibly disheartening to see carefully misled interpretations enabling the glorification of what might be the most tyrannical rule ever in the history of India. We will face the heat from this for the next few decades.


For example, please refer to the document in the URL below and search for 'forest cover':

It will take you to page-3 where in the table you will see that 'Forest Cover' is being given 7.5% weightage in the formula that decides ow much federal money a state would get. Just so I make it clear, the government has decided, the state with more forest cover will get more money. However, the government has asked the states to remove forests to help establish federal projects and guess what, it is the southern states who had to remove forest cover to support government programs.

Have you ever seen any administration decide fund allocation to states based on forest cover? Do you really think, in a developing nation such as India, where people are struggling for 2 square meals a day, such forest-cover based fund allocation will do any good?

Here is the fun trivia. try googling 'Top Indian states with forest cover' and you will see the states where the Indian PM's political party has/had the state government.

So, someone who holds the federal government decided the states where his party leads will get more money and they tweaked the formula accordingly. The leader of such a federal government is being praised. It can't get more cruel.

On behalf of all of south India, I beg you to stop enabling the organized genocide we South Indians are living with the fear of under the current government.

Please forgive me if my words hurt your feelings or insulted you or your interests in anyway. This blog post is probably one of the last resort efforts from taxpayers of a country who do not have any more hope of equal coexistence under Modi's leadership.


I would like to create an opportunity for you get your own perspective, not necessarily being guided by my views. Please read the following news items below from popular, fairly credible news media. 

 If you read the news in sequence, you will see something odd jumping out. I will let you interpret this further:











Questions, as a taxpayer, I have are:

When a country takes a loan from another, the entire populations has to repay the loan (with interest) using their tax contribution. 

1. When everyone has to repay the loan, why is the loan being spent on a river that touches just 5 out of 29 states? Why should a government take a loan on India's name when all the Indians do not get an equal share of the benefit of the expenditure that uses the loan? [try looking up which states and you will see a all-north trend]

The country is reeling in poverty and unemployment and struggling to have enough infrastructure and employment. 

2. Why should the taxpayer's money be spent on an expensive statue? [The statue is built in the state where Modi served as Chief Minister]

The government under Modi had the capacity to take a loan and clean a river that touches just 5 out of 29 states. The government had spent several thousands of crores on the Ganga Rejuvenation project so far. 

The government had the capacity to allocate 3000 crores for a statue.

However, the government did not have the funds for supporting the relief measures for two flood hit states. Guess what, both of them are southern states. 
The states requested immediate relief measuring in thousands of crores and they got in hundreds. 

3. What crime did the south do against Modi and his government that his government prioritized river clean-up and statue over rescue and rehabilitation of its own citizens? 

A statue can get 3000 crores but a state stuck in floods begged for 1220 crore and it was given 100 crores initially and then another 500 crores. 

The government under Modi spent over 4000 crores in advertisement in 4 years. 


The government has the money to support Bhutan. 

Nobody is against offering help to neighbors in need. However, how come a government has funds for a foreign country but not for its own tax paying citizens when they are hit by natural disasters [flood/cyclone]?

There is much more to this and every piece of information just confirms the deliberate effort to ignore the south. 

Imagine you live in South India and you see all this happening.

Can 'tolerating unfair treatment of citizens in governance' amount for anything positive? Is this leadership?

We in the south are living in a state of fear as to what else is ready to descend upon the south as we are having the election this coming May.

Please do not agree with me. Please look up those news items. Think how you would feel if you were at the receiving end of such organized unfair treatment. You decide what we in the south are going through. 

I may be alive but I do know many of my fellow citizens in the south have lost their lives to poverty, natural disaster and unfair educational policies and all Modi did was watch. 

 Indian citizens in South India are suffering and Modi and his majority voters all over the country are watching.

 I see this trend as nothin less than a carefully organised, legal-looking, genocide against South India under the leadership of Modi. 

If you have read this post until here, it means you received more feedback than Modi did in all the 4+ years since 2014. 

 South India needs to recognise the genocide being executed against it under Modi's leadership. 

 While South India has not much left in terms of hope, the only thought possible right now is:

 Hopefully the Indian citizens in North/East/West India got something positive. If we are losing losing much, there must be someone out there who must have gained from our loss. If not, then the whole nation is approaching an abrupt end under Modi's leadership.

 Again, do not believe or agree with me. Think about it. There should be some sense, rational thought, logic and humanity left around in India in spite of the tyrannical Modi Administration.

 This is a time of organised destruction, at least for South India and there is not much South India can do. Hoping South India escapes the genocide waiting to happen under Modi's leadership.

 Given that you had the patience to scroll to this end of this post, I would invite you to watch the comedy/satire show in Tamil language run by Summa Productions on Youtube. This show covers the other aspects of the argument presented above. Please share this post if you think this will help anyone in any way.

Justification of Caste based Reservations in India

Hello World,
Image Source: https://www.change.org/p/prime-minister-narendra-modi-remove-the-caste-based-reservation-system-2
The demand for the removal of caste based reservation system is on the rise with many Indian citizens strongly believing why the caste based reservation system must be abolished. 
Here is a justification of the caste based reservation system. 
For many years, the Indian society had denied equality to select groups of Indians in the name of religion and its sacred scriptures. These groups of people were denied equal opportunity in education and economic opportunities owing to which they suffered in poverty and social isolation. Their presence/touch was considered unholy by the rest of the majority.
When monarchy went away and India became an independent democratic state, minority groups demanded separate nation so they can safeguard themselves from such social discrimination in the name of religion and sacred scripture. While many groups demanded separate state Pakistan (East+West) was the only one that was officially separated on the basis of faith.
One such minority group namely the Dalits (also called Harigan/Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes) asked for the same but were offered equal inclusion in the Union of India. Dr. Ambedkar who lead the Dalit upliftment efforts agreed to settle down for Dalits’ inclusion in India provided constitutional provisions were made to ensure the socially discriminated classes of Indians had, by law, opportunity across education and employment along with the formal declaration of such social discriminatory practices being unconstitutional and therefore illegal as per law.
While many opposed this demand from Ambedkar, they had to agree so everyone could get under one banner and the partition scenario could be relatively less complicated. Since Dr. Ambedkar himself was a Dalit and the popular religious opinion considered Dalits as outcast, the rest of the members of the committee responsible for writing the Indian constitution refused to collaborate with him on the same level as they considered it an insult. This is one of the reasons why the Indian constitution, for the most part, was compiled from other constitutions instead of being written from scratch.
As for the constitutional provision of caste based reservations, here are the clarifications that need to be cleared before the justifications are discussed:
  1. Caste based reservations are based on population-% and for inclusion of everybody so social discrimination based backwardness imposed on minorities go away. The constitutional provision comes along with 10 year timeline by when a socio-economic survey needs to be done to ascertain the extension or abolition of the reservation system. The moment data supporting socio-economic equality of castes are detected, verified and declared, the reservation system will come to an end. This is why every government collects the data and sits on it as divulging it will establish a solid case for extension of timeline for reservation. Caste-based reservations does not intend or aim at supporting mediocrity or inferior performance.
  2. Since the constitution demands 18% to be allocated to SC/ST’s when the required number is not available, the cut-off is relaxed to bring in the count. There are situations where the cut-off is raised to reduce the numbers, in cases when the applicants range in the thousands for positions in hundreds. Cut-off is not a baseline that is taken from thin air. It is usually a value calculated based on comparison of available positions and existing number of applicants in that category. If a certain post has 10 positions and the applicants are 2300 in number, the cut-off has to be very high to make sure the selection process ends up with say the Top-100. Interviewing 2300 is an administrative burden the government has to avoid and so they filter out candidates using cut-off marks. Check image below (SC/ST cut-offs have been rising from 2017 to 2018):
3. Indian constitution allows institutions to have a certain amount of administrative control over their operations and often times anti-reservationist mentality creeps in and what we have is a constant state of reservation cut-off’s being lower than that of general category. This is done only to convince the public can be convinced that reservation is bad and unfair so a public outcry can be caused for abolition of reservation.
4. Even inside a reservation category, candidates have to compete based on their marks. This fact is either not disclosed or deliberately ignored by those who demand the abolition of reservation.
Now for the justification:
  1. When the Indian society segregated a select group of equal Indians in the name of caste and the mandates of religious scripture [Manusmrithi etc.], the rest of the society watched and considered it normal and justified. Only when the post-independence constitution classified discrimination as illegal and compensated the discriminated classes, everyone wants an equal share of the compensatory benefits. Descendants of those who did not get discriminated had access to all the society had to offer but those of the discriminated classes had to suffer in spite of constitutional provisions made. As recent as 2018 saw Dalits denied entry into temples and as of 2011 Dalits were denied access to public well. There is much more to this that what we might get from media. Summing up, years of discrimination and segregation based on caste and religious practices has resulted in a social structure where Indians are not willing to consider fellow Indians as equal humans. This is translating in everyone choosing ‘THEIR OWN KIND’ every time they have access to some form of administrative power. The only solution to work around this is to have a constitutional provision of caste-based reservation such that no matter who controls what, all sections are represented proportionately as per the constitution.
  2. Reservation based on caste is not the cause of social discrimination. It is social discrimination that is the cause of the caste based reservation in the constitution. The challenge is that if social discrimination has to be completely eliminated, that will practically nullify the faith system based on which the caste system originated. Please read the following of you have the patience: WHY HINDUTVA IS ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT FOR INDIA'S DEVELOPMENT
  3. Reservation for poor seems to be more popular these days. The claim is that reservation and benefits should be given to the poor and not to someone exclusively based on their caste/last-name. Here’s the paradox: When the minorities were denied equal economic and educational opportunities based on caste for centuries, nobody saw inequality and just when the constitution attempts to compensate for the same, everyone wants equal distribution of benefits based on economic status. read this if you have the patience: 10% RESERVATION FOR GENERAL CATEGORY FORWARD CASTES: BENEFITS BASED ON ECONOMIC STATUS
  4. Removing caste completely is logically a solution to set the basis for removing caste based reservation. However, removing caste means removing the credibility of the majority religion that is responsible for the caste system. If there is no caste, why would anyone believe in the existence of the god that tolerated the caste system in their respective shastras??!!? Do you know of a hindu who has no caste??!! Popularity of the major faith system will drop to the floor if the caste system is declared null and void. Google ‘dalit denied entry’ ‘dalit killed’ ‘dalit not allowed’ 'Dalit beaten' and you will see news bits covering inhuman practices. If those practices can be justified using phrases like ‘Yeah that happens’ ‘Dude that is law and order issue’ ‘This happens everywhere’ 'This has always been there' 'These are small insignificant instances' etc., then such justification automatically justifies the need for caste based reservation as defined by the Indian constitution. The fact that citizens are gently refusing to agree and perceive discrimination as discrimination indicates the presence of differences among the citizens who are inf act equal human beings. Under such circumstances, allowing the 'equal inclusion of all' as a 'Honour System' where those in power will have to execute their fair judgement for inclusive administration is neither rational nor fair. If those in power decide to be preferential and continue with discrimination, then the equality promised by the constitution is violated and the reservation policies as mandated by the constitution is present to avoid such circumstances as much as possible. [law, its interpretation and implementation are very different games]
“All humans are equal.” If this statement is hard to accept in public conversations (within and outside one's family) and/or at an individual level, then that apprehension is the real justification of caste based reservation as defined by the Indian constitution.

10% RESERVATION FOR GENERAL CATEGORY FORWARD CASTES: BENEFITS BASED ON ECONOMIC STATUS

Hello World,

Image source: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/union-cabinet-approves-10-reservation-for-economically-weaker-sections/articleshow/67418734.cms

To put this in context, here's a short story:

--------------------------
KKK, being a dominant race supremacy proponent enforced social inequality for centuries and the slaves were subject to every form of violence: physical, social and economical starting from the old ages to modern times. The democratic setups of modern times grew conscious of systematic social inequality being installed and created constitutional amendments so every member of the society can get a fair chance. In came the affirmative action and policies for inclusiveness. Fast forward to today, descendants of KKK who are poor and suffering due to lack of benefits as those for the descendants of slaves, get a new policy change: benefits for poor descendants of supremacy proponents.
------------------------

 To those who wish to know what caused the social discrimination. check this out:

 http://crazymotts.blogspot.com/2018/09/why-hindutva-is-absolutely-important.html
For centuries select segments of the population were denied equal educational and economic opportunities in the name of ethnicity and their social relevance was nullified with respect to religious scriptures. Those who denied those minorities their equal rights did that with confidence and the rest of the society watched. Fast forward to now, when the descendants of the discriminated got the support of affirmative action, the society expects benefits to be given purely based on economic status so everyone can benefit. 

 So the logic is simple: When discrimination happens, nobody cares since it is the minority that gets hurt but when the constitution supports the compensation of the minorities, everyone cares about everyone getting equal share of compensation purely based on economic status. The exclusion of minorities did not mean inequality for centuries but now the inclusion of the majority is needed to call it inclusive and fair. Those who got beaten are still getting their wounds healed while those who gave the beating are waiting for their health supplement.

 What goes around comes around.

 All humans are equal.
