When Arun Jaitley, the finance minister, was asked about unemployment data in an interview, his response was, who says unemployment is increasing. If it was increasing, there would’ve been massive mobilizations and protests, social agitation. According to him, India has not experienced such a wave of protests in the last five years ago. He is right in a way, even with rising unemployment, that too after demonetization, not many people are on the streets demanding employment/work.
Instead, a large number of youngsters are engaged in Gau Raksha, lynchings, Pakistan Murdabad protests, Ram Mandir movement and Jatts, Marathas, Patels, Kapus asking for a reservation in shrinking public education and employment.
They’ve forgotten that they need food, shelter and work. They are unaware that there are no jobs being created. What they know is that they should be proud to be Hindu or Indian, anyone not following their narrative should be killed.
There have been massive protests of contract workers, informal workers and farmers, they all went unrecorded because media quietly slipped them under the carpet.
This all shows how much we have gone down. Now, this war hysteria has forced everyone to be jingoistic, while forgetting that Prime Minister’s Office sucked up to a crony and sold off the country.
Jaitley is right because he and his colleagues have made the whole country addicted to Hindutva. The great Chinese civilization at its peak was destroyed by opium addiction. Hindutva is opium to India. Ask not whether you’re safe in your country, ask whether the cow is left straying on the streets.
