Secularism, Liberalism and Elitism three most contested concept of modern Indian political spheren

The concept of Secularism suggests that - Religion should not influence or be involved in the Organization of Society, Education, Government etc. or to be precise complete separation of religion from civic affairs and state. Secularism in itself is a very fascinating and interesting subject if followed in its true senses and which must be the policy of every democracy which celebrate religious diversity to ensure rule of law prevails over rule of religion. State of India is mockery of secularism since here several federal governments controls over 4 lakhs Hindu temples directly and 5 lakh's indirectly, run madrasas, offer's Haj subsidy, free of cost Char - Dham yatra, monthly salaries to pastors and maulanas, church renovation everything bear by tax payers of India .Over a period of time several governments both state and federal have resolved to religious vote bank appeasement politics and confused the masses with false sense of noble concept. In India Secularism in its twisted notion is always used by the Congress government, which ruled majorly after independence, for minority vote bank appeasement and that has resulted in extreme resentment in the majority population and now to capitalize on that outrage the BJP government has slightly resolved to majority appeasement with continuation of minority appeasement legacy left by there predecessor. So our political leader needs to understand that the race they are running to prove themselves as the biggest secular of this country regularly end's up being hypocrite and cartoons, when they wear hijab out of saree pallu and flaunting janeu from torn out kurta pocket.


Liberalism has become such a spoiled concept today because of this breed of neo- pseudo Liberals who have deteriorated and damaged Indian liberal society by there more - and more propaganda driven selective liberalism and selective calling out of spade as spade has completely destroyed the credibility and made them look more like a political stooge then intellectual who use rational and show acceptability to counter argument and then try to justify there point of view. The Indian liberals are more westernized and seriously lack Indian ness, ground connect and therefore they try to apply the western filters in there thought process and also look India through same lenses as they look at its western counterpart. The another acting slow poison to liberalism in India is comfortable Eco chambers of neo - liberals which is mal nourishing the Indian society which is on trajectory of exponential growth. In Bihar's Begusarai when few individual vendors and hawkers put up the saffron flag the Indian liberals condemned and shunned it as communal bigotry and what not but tried narrowly escaping the 26th January incident at Red fort through various excuses but did not condemn the historical horror at red fort on Republic day univocally and this is how they prove themselves as some political stooge which is morally dwarf, corrupt and have maligned agenda to put forth. Another controversy which got subdued on 26th of January 2021 was whole liberal façade whining about various temple tableaus being displayed on the raj path this again proves that they seriously lack Understanding of India they called it as murder of Indian secularism but they don't know that Vijayanagar is the history of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh and Krishna dev rai, Hariharan and Bukka rai are heroes of glorious Indian past and so are the glorious temples build by them So, these are India's roots and which should be celebrated but neo - liberals choose to live in there fancy bubble. There is another assertion one can make to this annihilation which can be attributed to domination of our educational institutions and university campuses, faculty with university campuses, faculty with left leaning ideology which bakes out such hypocrite of highest order.  

Same goes with elitism, the elite group in India ranging from academician to technocrats are not just limited to Indian peninsula but have left inerasable mark across the world because they have devoted, dedicated there time and life to there field of interest and achieved this level of  confidence, credibility and recognition and therefore they are superior knowledge sources since they have years of practical experience but the problem starts when you take undue advantage of your past achievement to propagate falsehood, wrong narrative and use past credibility to set wrong precedent and misguide the masses who look up to you for honest guidance. The point where you should be source of knowledge and light you become untouchable, murky, rigid and irresponsible. The elite society should be the guiding source of light similar to how a lighthouse in extreme darkness pave way for ship's on there voyage but imagine if the lighthouse radiate a falsified beam in wrong direction can lead the ship to its final voyage. Like Elites of the society carry a huge moral and social responsibility towards society in general but over a period of time due to irresponsible, malafied intension and rise of socialism have resulted in general hate for elitism and therefore we have seen breakdown of such epicenter and rise in demand of more open source decentralized accessible knowledge junctions. From perspective of India, the young 21st century India has always faced dilemma and self guilt when ever they read there own history since the most prominent and great king they know is Akbar the invader, the famous monument they know is Taj mahal and Red fort. Since the elite historian of India such as Romila thapar and Irfan habib have always been left leaning and biased in there history writing and always hijacked the publication and top academic sphere which has resulted in young kids being fed with false history. Recently In RTI application with reg no NCERT/R/E/20/00324/ dated 03/09/2020 several questions were raised on following excerpt - "Even when temples were destroyed during wars, grants were later issued for their repair- as we know from the reigns of Shah Jahan and Aurangazeb" from the class 12th history part II book regarding source of above information and Number of temples that were repaired by Aurangazeb and Shahjahan. The reply to this RTI by NCERT was hilarious "The information is not available on the files of the department". Imagine how many generations have studied the same false information about which even the publishing authority itself has no idea. Now due to such exorbitant bias which feeds so wrong history to its masses has resulted in awakening and resentment in mases over a period of time and now several brilliant indigenous writers such as Sanjeev Sanyal, Vikram Sampth etc have come up with there unbiased pure factual accounts in public domain. 


India as a country must embrace Secularism in its pure form and must not fall in the trap of appeasement also people should try and understand the India and its culture and should encourage the culture of debate and discussion to reach any conclusion also there must be acceptance for positive changes and counter arguments to become truly liberal without undermining your original culture, tradition, history and roots also whenever you achieve anything great in your life your knowledge and experience should be passed to coming generation with extreme honesty and without any bias.
