One of the best things about the hyper-allergic reaction of Indian and their brethren "South Asian" woke liberals (read Pakistan and Bangladesh) to Rishi Sunak becoming British PM is that it has laid bare their sheer distaste for Hindus in any form ...
... Rishi is not a "Hindu Nationalist" or even some crypto-Indian Nationalist and neither does he flaunt his Hindu identity that much in any way. He just does normie Hindu things like going to the Temple once in a while and celebrating Hindu festivals.
Merely the sight of him doing this everyday kind of Hindu stuff is enough to send both Hindu progressives in the West and Muslim supposed liberals in West into paroxysms of seething rage. It has done Hindu diaspora a huge favor because even the most apathetic Hindu ...
... in the West now can see the emanating rage over what should be a joyous political elevation and something to celebrate. It is very clear that these progressives are not against "Hindutava" or "Hindu Nationalism" or whatever their label du jour but seethe against the rise ...
... of anyone who is just minimally a visible Hindu. This will 100% red-pill even the most apathetic Hindus in the diaspora and wake them the hell up.
I present to you the latest example of this seething rage by Pankaj Mishra:
theguardian.com
theguardian.com
It starts off with a breathtaking racist claim that Rishi Sunak and Kwarteng represent Tories "scraping the bottom of their human resources barrel" (because to Pankaj Mishra anyone non-White in Tories is inferior apparently). Reminded me of how Indian software engineers ...
... making good money in US were dismissed by Indian progressives as "code coolies" because apparently no brown man can succeed in the US without being exploited or offering inferior skills for a low price.
Then he does a feint in one sentence talking about "Hindu supremacists" and then lumping in a Indian newspaper headline of βIndian son rises over the empireβ as consonant with Hindu supremacy, thereby insinuating that normal celebratory headlines are some insidious dark specter.
He also lies about "Hindu supremacist" reaction. If anything the Hindu RW in India has been deeply skeptical of his becoming PM and it is the more centrist Indians who are over the moon. Default Hindu RW posture has been one of suspicion not celebration.
As a fan of great literature and particularly VS Naipaul's "A Bend in the River" one of the greatest English novels ever I can't forgive Pankaj Mishra himself a literary writer with one OKish novel for distorting that great work.
He pretends that all Indians in that novel regard Black people as "losers of history" and quotes a line with a bleak world view. In reality that line was said by one Indian character to another Indian character. It is supposed to show the contrast between one ..
... Indian diaspora person in Africa with another Indian diaspora person. The person saying that line is an anti-Hero not presented as a Hero. The novel is complex and shows many different world views. An African friend is depicted quite sympathetically but Pankaj just ...
... boils it down to some simplistic Ayn Rand framework and uses it in an ugly fashion to attack the humanity of a totally normie Hindu diaspora guy like Rishi Sunak.
All I have to say to progressive Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in the West is bring it on, keep doing your rage-fests, it will red pill more diaspora Hindus then any warnings people like me could have transmitted to politically slumbering and apathetic diaspora Hindus.
