Personal Attacks – Hitting below the Belt

An Eye for an Eye will make the whole world blind – Mahatma Gandhi

Darkness cannot drive darkness; Light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; Love can do that.– Martin Luther King

These two messages from two great leaders of the world; from different part of the globe; convey the same message in different words. Gandhi Ji clearly warns in his message that the spread of hatred would only spread hatred and eventually would convert a battery of enemies all around while Martin Luther King summarizes how a society that is progressive , Learned and Accommodative has to behave. He rightly symbolizes light with love and hate with darkness. It is true that a small candle is sufficient to remove the darkness filled in the entire room.

It is unfortunate that today’s politicians in India; especially from the ruling party of India and its followers in particular their IT cell have been busy spreading false propaganda demeaning Mr. Gandhi is highly condemnable. The IT cell of the ruling party fails to recognize this and has been busy spreading this rubbish about the two great leaders of India Mr. Gandhi and Mr. Nehru.

Of Late they have started to create a communal divide between Hindus and Muslims by scaring Hindus in the name of Islam; also known as islamophobia. In today’s India, Muslims is less than 15% as per last census record. In 2021 , the census however did not take place but the estimates from different agencies is still below 15%.

Too often character assassination has replaced debate in principle here in Washington. Destroy someone’s reputation, and you don’t have to talk about what he stands for.
– Ronald Reagan

Every word of Mr. Regan is applicable to this context. The WhatsApp messaging platform also popularly known as WhatsApp University has been spreading messages which neither have any historical base nor do they have any data to support the statement. I hate to quote them verbatim here but only mention to help portraying that how demeaning and derogatory these messages are, clearly below the belt.

WhatsApp university is flooded with such derogatory messages and mentioning them here would only be helping the spread. Similar to Gandhi Ji, the university is flooded with the messages about Mr. Nehru Ji about his relations with Ms. Edwina or he being a Muslim or he being a traitor etc. These messages are ill founded and have no truth whatsoever and clearly are fabricated clearly by mischievous elements. These are some examples of the attacks below the belt.
Defaming Nehru family has been their main target as they could not garner any substantial support against them even with their best efforts using moral practices. In 2014 they came to power by the false propaganda of some of the government officers false report that licked the dust in court of law however to consolidate this power they adopted this strategy of continuously hitting below the belt. Rahul ji’s personal foreign trip has been on their target.

In order to consolidate the support the ruling party started believing in the philosophy of reverse consolidation typically known as 80-20 since they strongly believed that Muslims vote En-Block. This led them to spread the false – derogatory – communally dividing messages. Some of them are even vulgar. Love – Jihad is a typical example of it where in a population of over 1.40 Billion , few exceptional cases are being projected as a majority behaviour of Muslims. This dividing policy of the ruling party is an attack below the belt on the country’s unity.
I hate to even quote such messages here as quoting them here would make them meet their goas and objectives.

Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.
― Maya Angelou

Rightly said by Ms. Maya and truly in our context where the hate spread by the ruling alliance of the nation has caused the divide between the communities. Neighbouring relations are strained at times beyond repair. Character assassination drive by them need be rebutted in all the friendly debates. Rahul Ji’s Mohabbat Ki Dukan is the right strategy to repair this damage already caused by these anti national practices.

May God Shower all the blessings to these efforts by him.
