Hindutva 2.0

Twitter is really a place where Indian Nationalism is gaining some ground. When I found Kargil trending on 26th of July it filled me with some immense pride. No major newspapers had more than a quarter page article on Vijay Diwas, which was not too surprising, considering the media is controlled by the Congress govt. in Toto.

Another instance was the day #awesomeindianthings was trending on twitter, you could see along with some cynics the true nationalism of Indians come out in open. People mentioned the corrupt administration, the bad roads, but what I saw most was the Indian Tricolor. Wow, the Indian twitterati is actually pretty nationalistic eh?

Now one wonders, what happens to all these people when Amit Shah gets arrested for ordering the shooting of a terrorist? When Batla House gets talked in terms of a "fake" encounter? It's high time there is a non-profit group formed to take up these issues and rake up some pressure on the vote-bank led government. I seriously think that the next wave of hindutva cadre will not be the vandals burning buses and shops, instead they'll be the ones who work in the day and pontificate at night. Learn in the day, propagate at night. This, my friends, will be the torch bearers of Hindutva 2.0

That summer of ten years back,

That summer of ten years back,
The boy in a green jacket attempts to scale
Those treacherous peaks which seem so pale
Those noises of multi barrel rockets want to cry
Those billion voices that hit his eye

The valour and bravado which he did show
The mother of that boy should proudly know
The talk of which runs far and wide
That shall be remembered on either side

The boy looks at from above the sky
These material beings that always lie
The honour is shared between those various factions
The misery is left within those promised actions

That news reporter goes back to the very heights
The mountains that remind her of the bombing kites
The memory is etched in every soul
That was so very close to the boy’s whole

The story, now a legend a folk lore
The Tiger is back where it can boldly roar
Thus, “yeh dil maange more” of the enemy track
That summer of ten years back
