Congress coalition has lost the 2024 legislative assembly elections in Maharashtra. You cannot use saffron/hindu approach and defeat RSS/BJP. Such is the state of the hindutva campaign.
Anti-hindutva campaign is a must-have to win. True that a grand coalition can sometimes work out an electoral victory but that will not be sustainable. RSS/BJP will buy out the MLA's and dissolve the government.
For many years, the 'Jai Maharashtra' campaign has projected a maratha/marathi first orientation but most of the leadership of the campaign has historically been held by few groups. A marathi/maratha is a marathi/maratha irrespective of caste and religion. However, if we closely observe, most of the Jai Maharashtra proponents have historically been vegetarians.
How many beef/pork-eating marathi/maratha have held leadership roles in the organizations that have been leading the Jai Maharashtra movement?
The answer to the above question will clearly indicate that it was indeed the hindutva propaganda that was designed, developed and deployed in the name of marathi/maratha all these years. If Maharashtra is for marathi/maratha, then how come the marathi speaking Muslims and Christians not active in the Jai Maharashtra campaign?
The Shiv Sena has been conducting an openly covert hindutva campaign in Maharashtra all these years. Now that RSS/BJP has come with an openly aggressive hindutva campaign, it is harvesting what the Shiv Sena had cultivated. In a strange case of irony, the RSS/BJP, has used a portion of the Shiv Sena to execute this hostile takeover of the Maharashtrian political landscape.
Nobody other than RSS/BJP can use the saffron/hindu tag and gain any mileage in electoral politics. Such is the reach and ferocity of the hindutva propaganda. You could have started a similar campaign much before the RSS but yours did not sustain over the timeline as the RSS-led hindutva propaganda.
Given these circumstances, it is clear that, the only sustainable way to win against RSS/BJP is to conduct an Anti-hindutva Campaign. Scraping the political floor and amassing all the political parties left out of the RSS/BJP-led coalition can help get closer to an electoral victory. In some rare cases, it might even achieve it. However, such a scrambled electoral victory will not be sustainable against the divide-and-rule approach of the hindutva propaganda.
The evil hindutva propaganda is a party-agnostic poison, organically evolving into a parasitical social organism. It is a sentient alien which has already established a symbiotic relationship with the intellect of the society across the nation. It can activate from the inside of anyone anytime. It is so versatile that all of its activation events will not display a visibly pro-hindu characteristic.
The hindutva propaganda is a social poison and the only anti-dote that can eradicate this will be an Anti-hindutva Campaign.
It is a sad state of affairs when a state that is home to Dr. Ambedkar is incapable of devising a marathi Anti-hindutva Campaign. This electoral loss has made Maharashtra, a fully equipped soldier suffering from PTSD, running away from the adversary while enduring the burden of the ammunition and firearms.
This however is not the problem. it is, in fact, the symptom. The problem is that the Shiv Sena led Jai Maharashtra campaign has historically avoided Dr.Ambedkar and non-hindu marathi/maratha citizens. Avoiding Dr.Ambedkar has opened the door for the misrepresentation of Dr.Ambedkar as a 'Only-for-Dalit' politician and the hindutva campaign used it to enter Maharashtra. The Jai Maharashtra campaign itself harvested the Anti-Ambedkar movement to gain political mileage in Maharashtra.
The 1974 Worli Riots is one of the visible instances of this. The precursor to the riots included the congregation of Dalits against the Congress party over disregard of fundamental rights of the Dalits. The Congress and the Shiv Sena have a shared history of abrogating the responsibility of protecting the minorities. This has remained a trend predating the riots and Jai Maharasthra campaign, clearly driving the evolution of most of the marathi speaking Muslims and Christians. The minorities have always remained at a distance from the Congress and Shiv Sena not because they wanted to but because they were kept away. The Anti-Ambedkar tactic deployed in the Jai Maharashtra campaign had been a key driver.
Fast forward to 2024, the Congress party is screaming into the microphone, statements in favor of Dharavi and minorities. The number of times Rahul Gandhi used the phrase 'and poor people' every time he mentioned SC/ST people is a testament to this flaky approach. The broken legacy version of Shiv Sena is also persisting with the Jai Maharashtra campaign banking on its breaking to gain the political lead.
The Next-Gen Shiv Sena, on the other hand, supported by the RSS/BJP has comfortably carried forward the hindutva propaganda dehumanizing minorities across the board. What the legacy Shiv Sena and Cognress did over the past 5 decades is persisting to act as the catalyst for the Next-Gen Shiv Sena's campaign.
This election result is a consequence of the pro-hindu social engineering designed, developed and deployed by the Shiv Sena and discreetly incubated by Congress over the past 5 decades.
Maharashtra will enter crisis in the coming years. Its economic capacity will delay the damage but cannot reverse it. Maharashtra will become unlivable in the coming years. This election result is an indicator of this grim future of Maharashtra.
To those who genuinely wish to save Maharashtra, introspect and get an honest answer to the following questions:
Why did the Jai Maharashtra Campaign ignore the beef and pork-eating marathi/maratha people?
How can the beef and pork-eating marathi/maratha people be integrated into the Jai Maharashtra campaign providing equitable access to political representation?
What limbs of the Jai Maharashtra campaign should be dismembered to integrate the beef and pork-eating marathi/maratha people?
The simplest start to a sustainable solution is to refer to Dr. Ambedkar's works. Of all the citizens of India, this has to be a breeze for the marathi/maratha citizens.
Why it remains a challenge for them is the problem to be addressed. That, interestingly is not just a marathi problem but a pan-India problem.
The nation needs an Anti-hindutva Campaign.
