In his article titled ‘The Politics of Self Alienation', Sri Ram Swarup stated that in many Hindu intellectuals and politicians, "the hatred of the religion in which they were born has acquired neurotic and even lunatic proportions. In others it is more self-controlled, more prudently expressed and more profitably directed --- it is expressed with an eye to Muslim and Christian votes. Similarly, in some it is expressed emotionally; in others it takes on a more intellectual look. In Communists, the madness becomes a method and acquires a long-range aim; it becomes their necessary ideological prop which supports their aim of capturing power. They distrust all those who have roots, who have self-esteem, who have any structure of beliefs, any rallying point. They know that people who are ideologically and organizationally cohesive are not an easy prey to their ambitions. Therefore the people must be ideologically disarmed, their culture subverted, they must lose their self-respect, their organic leadership and their identity; they must be atomized, their internal differences fanned so that they can be easily picked up."

The Self-Alienation of Indians in general and Hindus in particular was an important component of the intellectual ferment of the British days though it was kept in check by the pervading influence of Gandhiji. But after the passing away of Gandhiji on 30-January-1948, the old deathly disease of Self-Alienation again came into the forefront and showed itself in all its power and ramifications. Its most undisguised incarnation is in the elitist and Leftist politics of the day. The elites --- Nehruvian Congress pseudo-secularists and the Communists --- are enamoured of the West and they seek solutions of all the country's problems in imported models. They would like to cast the country in the image of the West. Sri Ram Swarup attacked this approach in a powerful language charged with elemental power: "They fail to see that this is a sterile path in more than one sense and just by reproducing the West in ourselves, we also make no contribution to the pool of the world-good". Nehru was such a model as Prime Minister; so was Indira Gandhi; so was Rajiv Gandhi; and so is Dr Manmohan Singh today. Dr Manmohan Singh's live, living, life-giving, life-enhancing Western models in this sense are Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and all the members of the Nehru-Gandhi Congress Dynasty. Our listless, lustureless, lifeless, directionless and national visionless Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has several times declared from the housetop: "Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are my live models (perhaps like the historic wax models created by Madame Tussaud!!!). Their meaningful (mendacious and machinating and self-promoting) mission is my mission; their ‘self-less' benighted Be-Cause is my Be-cause; and their transcendental (treacherous) vision is my vision."

What is happening in this Sonia-Congress organized and Sonia Gandhi-manipulated Dark Age in which India and her helpless millions find themselves in a disastrous rut today, was clearly foreseen by Sri Ram Swarup as early as in 1979. Smt Indira Gandhi, the greatest political criminal who adorned the highest seat of power in post-Independent India, was the originator of this malignant disease of Politics of Self-Alienation so eloquently described by Sri Ram Swarup above. Smt Indira Gandhi, besotted victim and wife of Love Jihadi Feroze KHAN (name changed to Gandhi later), succeeded in shattering the identity and morale of Hindus and Hindu society in India. By sowing and promoting the virus of Self-Alienation amongst the Indians in general and Hindus in particular by using the might of the state, she succeeded in poisoning the roots of the ancient Hindu culture.

I am referring to the 42nd Amendment that Smt Indira Gandhi brought into the Indian Constitution, by mischievously using the dark cover of ‘Emergency', in 1976 by declaring India to be a ‘Secular State'. The main aim of this Amendment was to use the helpless and unorganized Hindu millions as disposable fodder on the state organized bon-fire programme (in final effect deliberately planned for the welfare of Muslims and Christians only and viciously intended as a pogrom for the Hindus as a whole) of ‘Minority Rights' CONCEIVED ONLY FOR PURPOSES OF MINORITY VOTE BANK POLITICS.
