Welcome to India — where even the Constitution needs a seatbelt.
Let’s get one thing straight: India isn’t a failing democracy. No, it’s an innovating one. While other democracies argue over budgets and climate policy, India has moved on to more exciting projects — like rewriting history, bulldozing homes, and pioneering a brand-new genre of governance: Hindutva violence with a tricolor filter.
If Orwell had written a sequel to 1984, he would’ve called it 2025: The Cow Eats Your Homework.
1. The World’s First Faith-Based Lynching Economy
India deserves a standing ovation for achieving what no other modern state has managed: commercializing mob lynching. It’s not just murder — it’s branding.
Accused of eating beef? That’s not a crime — that’s a death sentence. But wait, there’s more! If you’re Muslim, Dalit, or just breathing wrong, there’s an app for that: it’s called WhatsApp. One viral video, and congratulations — you're the evening’s entertainment.
Don’t worry about the killers. They’ll get garlanded by elected MPs, served chai in court, and maybe even a spot in the next BJP campaign video.
2. RSS + BJP = India’s Most Toxic Couple
You thought Bonnie and Clyde were dangerous? Meet the RSS and BJP — one writes the manual, the other enforces it.
The RSS dreams of a Hindu-only nation. The BJP turns that dream into policy. It's like a dystopian rom-com: one wears khaki shorts, the other bulldozes mosques.
Together they’ve mastered:
- Denial as diplomacy
- Dog whistles as policy
- Discrimination as development
And let’s not forget their shared motto: "Unity in Uniformity."
Because nothing screams unity like hating anyone who doesn’t chant the right slogan.
3. Democracy, But Make It Bulldozers
India’s real breakthrough? State-sponsored demolition as justice.
Why wait for courts when you have a bulldozer? In Uttar Pradesh, if you’re a Muslim and own a home — that’s suspicious activity. One FIR and boom: goodbye neighborhood, hello construction site.
Who needs due process when you’ve got diesel and divine backing?
4. Dalits? Still Untouchable, But Now With Internet
Welcome to 2025, where we have smart cities, 5G towers, and Dalits still dying for touching temple buckets.
Let’s recap the innovation timeline:
- 2016: Four Dalit boys flogged in Una for skinning a cow.
- 2020: Hathras rape case. Police cremated the body like they were hiding bad PR.
- 2022: A Dalit child beaten to death for using the wrong water pot.
This isn’t a bug in the system. This is the system. The caste hierarchy wasn’t dismantled — it got WiFi.
5. Digital Hindutva: The Hate That Has a Subscriber Count
India has weaponized memes.
You’ve heard of digital India? Now meet Digital Hindutva — where propaganda is livestreamed, hate is algorithmic, and trolls are tax-deductible.
Hashtags like #LoveJihad, #CoronaJihad, and #LandJihad didn’t come from uncleji’s WhatsApp. They came from IT cells funded by the very government that claims to be “for all.”
Fake news? That’s a feature, not a flaw. Over 700 fake narratives were tracked by Alt News and BOOM — and that’s just what they caught.
Islamophobia Is the New Nationalism
Let’s not beat around the burning bush — Islamophobia in India is now a political strategy. It’s cost-effective, emotionally manipulative, and has fantastic electoral ROI.
The formula is simple:
- Invent a threat.
- Blame the Muslims.
- Let the police take a tea break.
- Call it a fringe incident.
- Win votes.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
The Global Audience: Deaf, Dumb, and Dealing
You might wonder: where’s the world?
Oh, it’s right here. Buying defense contracts. Signing trade deals. Smiling in photo-ops with Modi.
Because when brown people kill other brown people in the name of a saffron flag, it doesn’t make CNN. It makes a new export opportunity.
India isn’t failing — it’s thriving. It’s just doing so on the bodies of the poor, the minorities, and the dissenters.
Honorable Mentions in Hypocrisy
- The Constitution is quoted every 26 January, ignored every other day.
- Journalists are labeled terrorists for reporting truth.
- Supreme Court judges retire and join ruling party panels.
- Minority victims are arrested, while their killers are celebrated.
We are not a banana republic. We are a banana smoothie — well-blended, saffron-flavored, and highly digestible for the global North.
Final Word: Laugh Until the Sirens Come
This isn't satire. This is survival with a smile.
The saddest part? Most Indians are good, kind people. But they’re terrified. Terrified of losing jobs, of being labeled anti-national, of asking questions. And silence — as history always reminds us — is the loudest form of approval.
So, to the world: Keep applauding our economy, our elections, our yoga diplomacy. Just don’t look too hard at the ashes in our streets.
Because when faith becomes a weapon, democracy becomes a joke.
And here in India, the punchline always bleeds.
