Rahul Gandhi as America's Manchurian Candidate

Much to the BJP's amusement, Rahul Gandhi appeared stumped by the following question at a recent conclave in Cambridge. 

"How have you envisioned the compact between violence and non-violence in Indian society?"

Since there is no such compact in India or elsewhere, Rahul had been asked a nonsensical question. Shruti Kapila- a Punjabi professor on the make- asked this question to promote her own crazy theory regarding some uniquely Indian fraternity based on Abel's non-violence having a compact with Cain's murderous hand. 

Under the circumstances, Rahul's response was sensible enough. He spoke of forgiveness. This makes sense. They Dynasty doesn't want any more of its members to be shot or blown up in retaliation for the senseless violence they unleashed. Forgive and forget. Don't fucking hack me to death. Thanks to me, you have Congress mukth Punjab. Soon you will have Congress mukth Rajasthan. Why assassinate me when only I can deliver Congress mukth India?

However, there are three worrying aspects to what Rahul was saying

1) India should break its long standing relationship with Russia and go over wholly to the American Camp. 

This is unprecedented. There had previously been an all party consensus that India needed the Russian UN veto. In breaking with this consensus, Congress under Rahul has shown it is now a US puppet. 

2) Rahul says India is a 'union of States' like the EU which Britain has just left.

Congress is now the party of secessionists, and is seeking the backing of the US to break up the country. The problem here is that if India breaks up- or returns to Congress's kleptocratic rule- China will dominate the whole of South and South East Asia. 

3) Indian democracy is a 'global public good'- i.e. its internal affairs are a field where other powers may legitimately meddle because there are big enough 'negative externalities' from non-Congress rule in India that the 'Free World' should intervene, even militarily, against it to effect 'regime change'. 

Thus, if Rahul really speaks for it, Congress is now openly an anti-national party because it says there is no Indian nation. There is only a collection of States which can have Brexit type events. Moreover, America should intervene in Indian politics because according to Rahul, China's expansionism on the border is directly connected to Russia's opposition to Ukraine joining NATO. In other words, there is already a 'terrestrial' Eurasian power-block which is leaning on India to cut its ties to the 'maritime' West. But the West can't allow this to happen because of some supposed 'global public good'. Thus Congress will now be America's agent in India. It will promote secessionism and sectarian opposition to the majority community. This is an advance on Cold War ideology. Back in the Fifties, America paid one or two crackpots to promote the idea that India should join the Baghdad pact in return for protection from the Communists controlling China and the USSR. However, those nutters weren't supporting secessionism or Islamic separatism. But this is what Rahul is doing now. He says India should become America's puppet in return for which America will fund anti-RSS activity. The Hindus will be divided and ruled by hook or crook. Hindu Nationalism will be defeated in India by Uncle Sam. No doubt, that strategy failed in Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq and so forth but with the brilliant Rahul as its Manchurian candidate, America is bound to prevail over Modi and Yogi and over one billion Hindu people.

It is perfectly possible that the CIA reached out to Rahul when he was studying in America. It may be, that his subsequent path was subtly influenced by them. They may have hoped that Modi would be 'polarizing' and 'divisive'. Thus they engineered Modi's victory by telling Rahul to play possum. Then they gave Modi enough rope to hang himself. But Modi turned out to be a great leader. Thus, Rahul, America's Manchurian Candidate, has now come out in the open as the man to back if you want to destroy the Indian Nation. But this means destroying the Hindu religion. The War on Terror did not cow Islam though 1.3 Muslims were killed. Whatever 'democracy' America was exporting turned out to be a global public 'bad'. Now, this brain dead mooncalf is being prodded by the senile promoters of a strategy which has comprehensively failed to make a bid to break the Hindus so that America gets something out of its Great Game in the region rather than nothing. No wonder, Modi is wary of Quad. America needs to cut Rahul loose. He may not be a Manchurian candidate. He definitely is a moon-calf.
