It remains a big question always about how Modi can tackle the things when the sovereignty of India as well Hindu as religion is under threat. One presumption is that Democracy has failed to deliver so far and the lack of sense of being in the masses of India was exploited by the lechers of Secular Political Parties and Theologians. Decisive time has come for Modi to part ways from vote politics and save India by being an autocrat in reality which some people believe he is.
To me, he is placed at the right time of history and time when he can own the mantle of Abraham Lincoln and save India from disintegration.
I am a Great admirer of USA president Abraham Lincoln. His life and his Times always fascinated me. Abraham Lincoln was fighting against all odds when he was seeking Presidential Nomination of Republic Party. He was Obsessive of an Idea that USA can’t be Broken, Confederate (Southern States of USA) has got no business to leave USA, They Can’t be Allowed to Secession from USA. Lincoln in Order to restore the United States Of America and stopping it from further disintegration went for the Civil War, as that was the only solution at his hand, against those who challenged the Constitution as well as refused to accept the authority of USA Government.
And mind it, here Abraham Lincoln was indisputably a “Minority President”, having received less than forty percent of the popular vote. Even then went Against those who challenged the sovereignty of USA. What was true in 1861 for The United States of America and Abraham Lincoln, is true for India and Narender Damodardas Modi, since 2014 onward.
In today’s time the challenges before the sovereignty of India is much more lethal and dangerous than ever before because, for the first time in the History of India, The Collective Opposition is directly encouraging these forces for political gains. India’s sovereignty and her legal concept of oneness has always been an enigma as Article 370 of the Constitution, is much in question since it was introduced out of weakness of the Secular Socialist Government of India and the ulterior motives of the then Congress Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru, despite being temporary in nature, still a barrier in the integration of whole of Jammu Kashmir into India.
India which has struggled for 7 decades to integrate, socially and culturally, North Eastern States of India, into the National Narrative has now been able to somewhat achieve that, by making nationalism a core into the political apparatus of these state. But still Church and Chinese backed various groups still dream of carving out ‘Kingdom of Christ’ and Chinese satellite states.
In intellectual and cultural arena, right from JNU to other Institutions which bred Poisonous Intellectualism, intoxicated with a retarded philosophy of communism, now openly raises slogan of ‘Bharat Tere Tukade Honge’ and Secular, Liberal Intelengesia along with so-called Secular political parties and Media, bats for them in the name of Freedom of Speech.
Bengal’s Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee openly unashamedly cultivates and supports radical Islamist and illegal Bangladeshi and keep on threatening to break off the Federal Structure of India. As if, is this was not enough, now Congress-led opposition is playing a new deadly game of North-South divide in order to destabilize the Center Authority and in this process damaging the fabric of the basic federal concept of India.
This starts from Kerala which has now virtually become a citadel of radical Islamist and a very proactive church which is openly indulge in anti-Hindu politics and conversion of Hindus into Christianity. All this happen with the tacit support of Communist and Congress in lieu of in block votes from their influences.
Recently Telangana’s CM K Chandrasekhar Rao and Andhra CM Chandrababu Naidu after 4 years of milking Central Funds, started saying that they don’t get enough from the Central Government, whereas they subsidized States of North, although they themselves failed to Account for the Funds they have received in past from the Central Government.
Add on to that, the most sinister design for breaking of India, Geographically, Culturally and Religiously has come from Tamilnadu and Karnataka, in last two days. Firstly Stalin the Working President of DMK has given a call to all the Southern India States that he will support if southern states want to break away from India and he would welcome any attempt by the South Indian states to make a demand for a separate country and Congress CM of Karnataka Siddaramaiah in order to gain politically, decided on Monday to declare Lingayats are not a Hindu but a religious minority to divide Hindus further.
To me, the turbulent water in which India and her Society is now placed is very Critical and for that reason, Abraham Lincoln is Very Much relevant Today For India and Her Sovereignty. I am no Lawyer But I have One Common sense. And my Common Sense says That One Must Read What Abraham Lincoln said Before Going for Civil War And To Me A Threat to the Sovereignty of India The Oath of the Prime Minister is Sufficient to Defend the Sovereignty of India. Now I am Placing What Abraham Lincoln Said about Secession And His Moral Ground To Defeat Them.
As Lincoln would say in his First Inaugural Address:
“I hold, that in CONTEMPLATION of UNIVERSAL LAW, AND OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE UNION OF THESE STATES IS PERPETUAL. PERPETUITY IS IMPLIED, IF NOT EXPRESSED, IN THE FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF ALL NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS. It’s safe to Assert THAT NO GOVERNMENT PROPER, EVER HAD PROVISION IN IT’S ORGANIC LAW FOR ITS OWN TERMINATION”
Lincoln believed that the Power needed to meet the Secession Crisis had been provided by the Constitution and Vested primarily in the hand of President. He cited the Commander-In-Chief clause, the clause requiring him to, ‘TAKE CARE THAT THE LAWS BE FAITHFULLY EXECUTED, and His Presidential Oath – ‘REGISTERED IN HEAVEN’, as He put it – to ‘PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’.
Lincoln Further said: “Plainly, the Central Idea of Secession is the Essence of Anarchy. A MAJORITY HELD IN RESTRAINT BY CONSTITUTIONAL CHECKS AND LIMITATIONS AND ALWAYS CHANGING EASILY, WITH DELIBERATE CHANGES OF POPULAR OPINIONS AND SENTIMENTS, IS THE ONLY TRUE SOVEREIGN OF FREE PEOPLE. Whoever Rejects It, Does, of Necessity, Fly to Anarchy or to Despotism. UNANIMITY IS IMPOSSIBLE; THE RULE OF A MINORITY,AS PERMANENT ARRANGEMENT, IS WHOLLY INADMISSIBLE; SO THAT, REJECTING THE MAJORITY PRINCIPAL, ANARCHY OR DESPOTISM IN SOME FORM, IS ALL THAT LEFT”.
Abraham Lincoln has given enough Legitimacy and Moral Authority to someone who wishes to take Bull by the Horn.
The Oath,
“I,————-, do swear in the name of God that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by law established, I swear that I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India and I swear that I will faithfully and conscientiously discharge my duties as Prime Minister of the Union.”
Says It All!
I am No Lawyer But I Know, No Article Of The Constitution Allows Breaking of My Country, INDIA.
