Kerala's Guru Poojan Row: A Marxist Farce Unmasks Phony Secularism
This phony outrage isn't just a laugh—it's a glaring unmasking of a government that's anything but indigenous, dripping with hypocrisy while cloaked in a sham secular veil that the BJP is gleefully ripping apart.
Let's shred the red-tape nonsense. Guru Poojan, where students express gratitude and veneration to their teachers, is as old as the Vedas—rooted in a culture that bows to animate and inanimate alike, from living souls to nature's splendor. For millennia, Sanatanis have lived this ethos, thanking the cosmos daily, a practice now parroted by the West as some trendy 'gratitude movement."
Yet, these Kerala Marxists, with their imported ideologies, dare to deride it as regressive. Their gall is staggering in name-calling the spiritual and the Dharmic practices of the land. They howl it is modernity's enemy, peddling a deracinating delusion to divest Bharat of its soul. This isn't governance; it's the Chinese echo in red robes, hell-bent on uprooting our heritage while posing as progress.
Now, let's zoom in on the Marxist hypocrisy—it's a goldmine of double-dealing. Consider their own stalwart, VS Achuthanandan, who previously voiced concerns about Love Jihad, a topic closely linked to safeguarding cultural integrity. However, this self-proclaimed liberal commune proudly refers to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as a 'communal party"—a clear example of selective amnesia! And let's debunk the lie that 'Love Jihad" is a BJP or RSS invention; it was coined by K.T. Shankaran, then justice of Kerala High Court, in 2009, based on early concerns over forced conversions. The contradiction is profound!
Then there's the temple endowment heist: the government rakes in crores from Hindu temples, feasting on sacred funds, while its atheistic core spits on religion. No deity graces their pantheon, yet they dine on the faithful's offerings with a straight face. This fake secularism isn't a Kerala quirk—it's a plague in Indian politics, and the BJP's bold exposé is rattling these fraudsters to their bones.
Dig deeper, and the stench thickens. The Adhikari Thesis, a communist relic, once brazenly pushed for Bharat's balkanization, dreaming of splintering this ancient land into petty fiefdoms. These same ideologues are now using 'unity" as a shield to attack a school ritual, displaying a level of hypocrisy so thick that it could be cut with a sickle.
Beyond Kerala, the Marxist playbook reeks of the same duplicity. In West Bengal, the 2007 Nandigram massacre saw farmers gunned down for resisting land grabs—equality with a body count, Marxist-style. In Tripura, communist cadres torched homes to enforce their writ, proving their 'people's rule" is thuggery with a manifesto. Kerala's hartal-happy enforcers mirror this, forcing a 'Bharat Bandh' that Bharat largely ignored, exposing their muscle over merit. Even their own leader, Achuthanandan, later distanced himself from the party line on Love Jihad, yet the government clings to denial, a classic case of ideological flip-flopping.
The Guru Poojan row is a symptom of this deeper rot. When the Kerala Governor defended the ritual as cultural heritage, the communist chorus cried foul, pinning RSS agendas on him. But let's flip it: why is respecting a guru 'feudal" when Marxist leaders demand blind loyalty from their cadres? The contradiction is a comedy of errors—Marxism, with its Western lens, has long peddled the myth that spirituality and modernity can't mix. Bunkum! Bharat's rishis built Nalanda while Europe stumbled in the Dark Ages. This deracination agenda, a Marxist mirage, aims to erase our dharmic vanity, swapping it for a hollow materialism that alienates us from our essence. Their hypocrisy peaks when they mock Guru Poojan while pocketing temple gold—sacred funds funding their secular sermonising.
Globally, their cousins amplify this farce. China's atheist regime bans religion, Cuba's communist utopia crumbles with no faith to lean on, yet Kerala's Left plays a softer game—co-opting Hindu symbols for votes, then trashing them when convenient. Le Monde once dubbed Kerala's communism 'tropical," a quirky mashup of Marx and Krishna, but it's a sham alliance—embraced for ballots, ditched for dogma. The Guru Poojan row is their latest betrayal, a slap to a culture that weathered invasions, only to be judged by ideologues who'd rather genuflect to foreign theorists than honor local traditions.
advetisement
The BJP's rise in the public psyche is shaking this farcical show. PM Narendra Modi's blend of development (Vikas) and dharmic pride (Virasat) exposes the Left's hollow secularism. The Kerala government's knee-jerk reaction—ordering probes into a school ritual—smacks of desperation, if not vexation. From hounding Asianet reporters exposing college scams to muzzling temple boards, this regime thrives on control, not conscience. Their Marxist hypocrisy isn't just a Kerala flaw—it's a national embarrassment, and the BJP's unapologetic stance is the mirror they dread.

Shah unveils new national policy to further strengthen cooperative movement
Unveiling the 'National Cooperation Policy – 2025', Shah — who is helming the home as well as cooperation ministries — asserted that cooperatives are at par with the corporate sector in all aspects, including taxation. The latest announcement comes 23 years after a similar policy for cooperatives was brought way back in 2002 when Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led National Democratic Alliance was in power. New Delhi, Jul 24 (PTI) Union Minister Amit Shah on Thursday announced a new national policy to boost the cooperatives sector, with the vision to have more professionally-managed and financially-independent cooperative organisations in every village. He urged states to start implementing the new policy at the earliest and emphasised that the cooperative sector has the potential to bring development for India, which aims to be a developed nation by 2047. The mission is to make cooperative organisations professional, transparent, equipped with technology, and financially independent as well as successful, he added. 'The target is to have at least one cooperative organisation in every village of the country,' said Shah. Besides, the aim is to bring in at least 50 crore people under the ambit of cooperatives. 'The policy is far-sighted, practical and result-oriented,' the minister said. He further said the Modi government has set a target to make India the world's third-largest economy by 2027. 'I have full confidence that we will definitely achieve this goal.' Shah said over the past 4 years, Ministry of Cooperation has achieved many accomplishments, but its greatest achievement is that today, the member of even the smallest cooperative unit in the country stands with pride. The minister exuded confidence that the latest policy will be instrumental in helping India become a developed nation by 2047. He also urged state governments to start implementing the new policy. Shah recalled that it was a BJP-led government at the Centre which had brought the first national policy for the cooperative sectors in 2002, and next policy too has been introduced by the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The policy has been prepared by a 48-member national-level committee headed by former Union Minister Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu. The panel received about 750 suggestions from stakeholders, and also held extensive discussions with the RBI and NABARD. The new cooperative policy will prove to be a milestone in the cooperative movement of India for the next two decades from 2025-45, the ministry had earlier said. It has been framed to make cooperative institutions 'more active and useful in the current economic scenario' and enhance the sector's role in achieving the goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047. The policy would also strive to make cooperative institutions job creating centres. PTI LUX MJH NKD NKD ANU ANU This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
