Mainstream WeeklyWhat happened to the crowd in Jantar Mantar? There were different groups from Ambedkarites to liberals and Marxists, but all lived in a small place in the rain and in a hot day and night without a fan except a hand fan. Visiting the place, one felt that there were another group sitting on dais popularly known as CJP leaders and in the evening, Sonam, while on hunger strike, gave a small talk for ten minutes, where he praised Modi, which disappointed me, but for his sacrifice as a hunger striker, like the young firebrand Neha, who was on fasting to stir the conscience of the masses. We old people moved to the place and took a picture of Sonam and came back with a great memory of the strike by Gen Z that one day these young people will change the world, and the bad world we inherited from Modi Shah Raj cannot be tolerated by them, as their young blood cannot tolerate them. This happened, and one day I heard that Sonam was picked up by the police and thousands of young people marched to Parliament Street and got police batons and bullets, but luckily no one got killed. But many were wounded and injured, and this stirred the imagination of the public, and the Modi government gave to the demands of these young people. They lived for so many days together and getting food supplied by Junaid from Meerut and a person from the Gurudwara, and all of them ate the same food and used the same public toilet and cleaned the place with their hands and they created an imagined community that started suffering and enjoying the best moments and worst moments of their stay in the Jantar Mantar. They sang the songs together and started playing together in a musical sense. Togetherness turns into a bond for the future.
Gen Z is getting led by Ambedkar and the Constitution. It is getting organised with Gandhian tactics like fasting against the Modi regime. Modi has communalised the Indian police and is getting exposed today while they were attacking the young boys and girls and they were using illegal means to control the crowd, which was against the police administration. It seems that Shah the boss of Delhi Police had directed them to be brutal against the young and the young were having power like Phoenix and with their wounds and injuries turning into a force to fight the Modi raj. The movement of Gen Z is slowly moving out of the metropolis to small cities like Allahabad which was the centre of the national movement and it was famous for being the best university in India. Nehru made the town his workplace during the national movement and Gandhi used to visit the place regularly. This city has a past and but at present it is going to reinvent the tradition of creative imagination of youths who are hungry to express their views. Rahul Gandhi, a young leader is having a dialogue with these young aspirants who spoke out about their attempts to get into the state but the Yogi government is denying them by leaking out the question paper. These students, carrying the blessings from their parents supported by lakhs of rupees from agriculture, are getting spoiled by the Yogi Government that does not understand the pains of the young.
Danish Ali, the student leader of JNU, participated in the movement led by CJP at Jantar Mantar, which angered the Delhi Police. They went to her village and want to harass her parents. She is an adult, and any question to be asked of her, not her parents. Delhi police needs to know the laws related to any adult or political leader like Danish Ali needs to visit her and inquire into the matter.
Today Modi and Shah are down, and this is the time to restart the movement by CJP in demanding the resignation of Shah the kingpin of all anti democratic politics. Neha, the AISA leader, got bitten by the RSS goons as reported by her. It indicates the problem for the united struggle against the Modi regime demands that the RSS members to be kept out of the united struggle otherwise, they will capture the leadership and create problems for the students’ struggle led by CJP.
There are three Neha’s active in the movements of youths. All three are getting harassed by the Modi and Shah regime and local goons. Neha, AISA activist, got harassed in Ranchi by the Hindutva goonds and while they recited Jai Shri Ram. By saying this they got involved in Chori in Ram Mandir and vote chori and labour surplus chori and chori of roads by allowing the young bhakts to take over the road from Delhi to Deradoon. This is Modi and Shah Regime and Yogi is doing bulldozer justice by not allowing anyone from truck driver to ordinary car driver or walker to move on the road. This has made Indian economy lose five hundred crores. Neha defended herself against the Ram Bhaktas in Ranchi. The other Neha is an Ambedkarite and an outspoken leader against the Hindutva politics. She questions the Sangh Parivar as it is not inclusive one which does not incorporate the Dalits and Muslims into its fold. She questions the Ram Mandir as it has been built on the place where the Babri Masjid stood one time. It was wrong as she asserted. The Ram bhaktas are free to visit the Ram temple and but the trust members appropriated the money given by the Bhaktas.
Neha is a popular among people of Bihar and UP as she makes mimicry against the Modi and Shah government. She claims that each is corrupt in the cabinet of Modi. Someone adulterates the petroleum and it is getting sold at a higher price whereas the same oil goes to Bhutan sold at a lower price. The road construction is done in such a way that it collapses just after the inauguration. Corruption is there. PM Care Fund is being sucked into the BJP network without getting audited by the CAG. She sings in a manner which made her popular, and it is short, humorous and sharp.
Support for the movement of youths by the Chief of RSS Bhagwat is a blasphemous statement. RSS has created a network like cow vigilantes to Bajrang Dal, who are active against Muslims and Christians. They have a love-hate relationship with the Dalits and backwards. They want the reservation to go, and at the same time they want the support of Dalits. RSS stands with the BJP as the most unpopular moment in the political history of the RSS. Its hundred years of domination and its support for the right-wing government, which has affected the economy and social sector of the state. RSS and its working together with the police administration have made its neutrality a doubtful proposition. The way the police was mobilised under Shah during the communal riots to students’ movement at Jantar Mantar explains the same logic that Muslims and youths are on one side and they are in the opposite camp. Any youth movement to be real is to fight against the BJP and RSS. That brings the unity of Indian people to revive the spirit of Indian national movement led by Gandhi and constitution making by Ambedkar. These are ideals which push the BJP and RSS to a backward looking organisations whose self centric politics cannot survive as corruption in Ram Temple to every sector of economy and administration showing the BJP government its hollowness is getting exposed. Logic of Hindutva politics and its standing with Israel and America is going against the interest of a nation constructed by Gandhi and Ambedkar. RSS and Savarkar and Modi its Hindutva face are already blackened with its corrupt practices in everyday administration
Aakash Joshi senior journalist in Indian Express writes that dialogue between RSS karyakarta and the BJP leadership helps it to know the ground reality and so much anger on the ground among the young is being unknown to the BJP leaders which explains that the Modi regime has brought change in relationship between both by building AC rooms in the Headquarter with free meal and coffee which make them to be dozed in air conditioned rooms without payment then he as she is absent in karyakarta cannot tell Modi regarding the ground reality as he cannot walk under the sun or in cold and in rains. He is relaxing with Modi in air conditioned house and foreign visits in every fortnight at the cost of exchequer which makes him living in amnesia of ground reality except selling the Public sector made by Nehru to Adani.
Prof Pratap Bhanu Mehta uses the protest movement and the Modi regime to accommodate their demands. Accommodation happens when the ruling regime and opposition both agree to democratic debate, dialogue and discussion. Modi does not agree to it and this forced young people march to the streets and demand the resignation of the Education Minister and but the demands related to education like revision of school curriculum done by the present regime removing the Mughal history cannot be tolerated and cannot be accommodated but it has to be revived once more.
In the movement at Jantar Mantar the young girl of 15 makes history by protesting against the neo fascist regime of Modi by abusing words mixed with vulgar words. She apologised under the pressures from the Modi which is a Galileo moment in politics. Galileo after inventing the movement of earth around the sun forced by the Church and King to apologise which he did. But his invention lives for ever. This little child using the abusive words against the most powerful person remains in the political history of India. Here the comment by the leading Marxist politician cum scholar says in her article in Indian Express August 6 that "They are being doxxed, stalked and threatened with rape -anything to silence and punish them. When the PM calls it a ’culture shock’ to hear young women use cuss words, he stamps his approval on sexist abuse, so long as it is men doing the abusing - because ,in this telling men will be men." The BJP government has sent its people to know the amount of rent paid by the member of CJP or knowing the size of house in Aurangabad or knowing the place where the little girl living in NOIDA who uses vulgar words against Modi: All these part of Bulldozer justice and not part of constitutional politics. Everyone has the right to live in some place and having certain income but the government has right to know whether as a property owner he or she pays the house tax to municipality. Here the BJP government is turning crazy as its popularity is declining at a fast pace. They were supposed to lose the 24 general election but for the use of malpractices and manipulation of EVM saved them at 240 which is not majority. They illegally used the Election Commission to defranchise the poor belonging to Dalits and Muslims who do not want to vote them. This is unconstitutional politics or bulldozer politics of the BJP government.
