What's your opinion on the BJP if you have one, regardless of membership status?
I'm not a member of the BJP, I'm a student right now so that's not the case. And about BJP, ik how the New York Times or Washington Post would narrate about Prime Minister Modi but I'll say simply what I feel. This country after independence has seen an initial wave of democratic socialists their ideals were genuinely great but they terribly fell flat on execution. It's since 1991 that tangible economic changes are happening in India. I'll just give a few things which Ik so that those who're ideologically thinking about the situation will get a little touch of practicality.
In 1988, if, you wanted to purchase a scooter then it used to take 5-6 months at times even through some close agents in the company due to all the bureaucratic procedures back then it was in 1995 that it became a few weeks and these days max to max a week. Now, I'll be very straight, I'm seeing tangible & meaningful changes in my country & locality. Due to the "Swatcha Bharat" (Clean India) Mission, my locality happens to be cleaner than ever, it's now a very rare sight to see garbage lying on the streets. Then due to the systematic shift from a planning commission to the National Institute for Transforming India (NITI Aayog), I have seen more projects being undertaken that suit my locality such as flyovers & metros to take care of the traffic. The New Education Policy which they have introduced in 2020 is really great for students because we students are doing a donkey's work carrying a burden this is true in the sense of all the mugging up that we've to do & also in the real sense that is carrying the bag. Further repealing of obsolete colonial laws was essential which for some reason other governments ignored perhaps they had too much on their hands. And due to the Digital India initiative, I've even seen street vendors for the past 4-5 years preferring e-transactions.
Further, I absolutely empathise with the people of Ukraine & the civilians in Gaza who are stuck between Hamas, IDF & the West Bank Govt. All I can say is that India's stand was best in Indian interests because alienating Russia would cause defence supply issues in India overly making it dependent on the West & Israel is another important defence & intel partner of India so India being reactionary to what is happening around the world is not advisable.
So, I'm supportive of those policies which I perceive to be best in India's interests. Not everything is best of course & few things like demonetisation could have been done in a different way.
Following on from Tlomz, are you a, or have been a supporter of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)?
I used to back then, idk now. These days I prefer to keep myself apolitical with regards to organisations. The organisation played an important part during the emergency period & during the pre-independence period.
I would like to state, as one of the commanders in the coalition that participated in the Genua operation, that Whole India has not participated in its coordination.
I wasn't there in the military takeover, however, I was actively there working against them. The Vippertooth if they wish can confirm or Ellenburg screenshot makes that clear as well.
