This is an evil post. It caters to my worst sentiments and possibly to your worst sentiments. I am not proud of what I am gonna say. But I am going to enjoy writing this.

Safe to say, I wasn’t thrilled when the BJP-PDP coalition government was formed in Jammu and Kashmir. Yes, I know…there was no other way. And well, this was the most democratic solution : BJP won Jammu, PDP won Kashmir. But still, I couldn’t shake off the suspicion that I was just being an apologist. If this was Congress allying with PDP, I would probably have jumped to criticize.

This Manoj Kureel cartoon perfectly captures the mood in the RW when the coalition government began.

Even now, the BJP-PDP alliance is routinely touted in TV debates as a way to put the BJP on the defensive.

But can I just say that the right wing should now stop being defensive about the so called “alliance” and go on the offensive?

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE the BJP PDP “alliance” right now.

Let me see. What were we afraid of when the “alliance” began? That the BJP would make humiliating compromises, right?

It’s been two years. Honestly, I don’t see what the BJP has compromised. Instead, I can see that the PDP has surrendered all its dignity.

Ha ha, give Mehbooba a few months more and she will be singing Vande Mataram in full and ending with slogans of Bharat Mata ki jai!

When Modi went to inaugurate the new tunnel on NH-1, Kashmiris could barely see a glimpse of their own Chief Minister at the grand ceremony. She was totally blocked from view by Modi and Governor Vohra.

Hmmm…this is almost like one of those games for kids. What if I told you that Mehbooba Mufti is visible in this photograph?

What? Where?

Hmm… look carefully. Modi and Vohra are clearly visible. In the second jeep… you know it’s Nitin Gadkari. I recognize him by the blue jacket. I don’t know who are the people with him. But they are all men.

Where is Mehbooba Mufti?

LOL! Look carefully. Do you see Modi’s left collar? Good. Now look carefully behind his left collar. Do you see a slight arc? Yes, that’s Mehbooba Mufti over there 🙂

Folks, if there is one thing we know about Modi, it is that he understands the power of messaging. There’s no way Mehbooba Mufti got hidden from view “by mistake”. Of course it was intentional.

And yes, you can see that pro-Pakistan elements in the mainstream media noticed this and they wrote angry articles complaining about it 🙂

Score!

This is really what is at the root of the extreme unrest we are seeing in Kashmir right now. Kashmiris have gotten the message that there is a “Hindu Emperor” in Delhi and their Kashmiri Chief Minister is his vassal.

For a violent Indian Muslim psyche driven by the memory of ruling the “weak Kafir Hindus” for 800 years, this is quite simply unbearable.

And obviously, I am loving this role reversal. A Hindu Emperor in Delhi with a Muslim vassal in Srinagar. You know, this is an even better feeling than having an actual BJP Chief Minister in Srinagar.

Again, I can tell you for sure that Kashmiris are seeing it the same way. Their masculine pride has been neutered.

This, from last year, was even more awesome!

I’ll tell you exactly what Kashmiris saw. Rajnath Singh was the general sent by the Hindu Emperor. He sat there smiling and talking diplomatically. Meanwhile, Mehbooba Mufti jumped in and launched a tirade against the sentiments of her own Kashmiri people!

Ha ha!

You know, the British rarely ever lost their temper at Indians. Their position always was that Britain was holding India “in trust”, dedicated to the welfare of our people. While the British masters held on to their diplomatic smiles, the brutality was generally unleashed by their Indian minions against their fellow Indians.

That was real humiliation.

That’s how empires work. And for the first time in nearly 1000 years, we have a secular vassal submitting to a Hindu emperor. You know, since the battles of Tarain and Prithviraj Chauhan, we Hindus have become too nervous and insecure. This was the mentality when I was worried about the BJP PDP “alliance”. I thought they would prevail over us. Not so! It is us who prevailed over them.
