“Modi’s majoritarianism is a poison and cancer that can destroy the soul of India”

- Calling Narendra Modi a “putative dictator” who has “authoritarian instincts” and “dictatorial tendencies”, one of the most highly regarded historians of modern India and Mahatma Gandhi’s biographer, Ramachandra Guha, says that Modi’s majoritarianism can destroy the social fabric of India and calls it “a poison” and “a cancer”. As he put it: “Majoritarianism poisons the mind and the heart. The hate and bigotry that it engenders spread like a cancer through the body politic, robbing individuals and society of civility, decency, compassion and humanity itself.”
Drawing a distinction with Indira Gandhi’s Emergency, when she combined authoritarianism with family rule, Mr. Guha says Narendra Modi today combines authoritarianism with hindu majoritarianism. He said “the intention of Modi and Shah is to suppress all free speech”. He said a third term Modi government will give licence to a full-fledged regime of thought control.
However, in a 30-minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, Ramachandra Guha said even if Modi wins a sweeping victory and returns to power for the third time, “the authoritarianism of the Emergency years” is unlikely to return because large states like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal, Karnataka, Telangana and Punjab will be outside his and the BJP’s control and will politically resist his attempt to dominate them. However, what Mr. Guha fears is the impact of Modi’s majoritarianism, during any third term he may have in office, on the social fabric of the country and the thinking and behaviour of its people.
Mr. Guha believes the stigmatization of Muslims will sharpen, the screws on the media will tighten, the independence of the civil services, the judiciary and public regulatory institutions will be further undermined, whilst Central Universities, IITs and IIMs will become centres of Hindutva propaganda and the structure of Indian federalism will grow weaker.
Mr. Guha believes that hate filled anti-Muslim speeches, like the one Narendra Modi delivered in Rajasthan on Sunday (21st), will proliferate and will become a common occurrence if Mr. Modi wins a third term. He believes “non-Hindus will be treated as inferior and sub-human”. Muslims will be, as the RSS has often said, “shown their place”.
This is why Mr. Guha believes the elections that has started “is the most important since 1977”.
I have only given you the big broad points made by Mr. Guha. I have deliberately avoided giving you further details because I think you should hear this interview for yourself. As ever, Mr. Guha is rich and riveting in his analysis and the sweep of his arguement covers a lot of ground. It will be a shame to diminish it through a precis or paraphrase. It should be heard directly in his own words.

This interview needs to be translated in all Indian vernacular languages and spread across the country. Truth must prevail. Enough is enough.
Owaisi ,nepo kid udhayanidhi ,a raja speech should also be translated in vernacu,ar language how they talked about eradicating particular religion enough is enough
@rationalthought3829 please do not use the word vernacular because it was derived from the Latin word which means slaves language. I just recently got to know this. I am taking this of my vocabulary.
Correct agree with you
Why other languages? Can't people understand English

Very true.
like friends from pakistan?
Eradicate sanatan statement no friends came forward n supported, all were silent
@@jeanpierre-st7rlsometime from the cowbelt as well , few of them are intelligent enough
Ashamed of what the PM has stated.
Ashamed of what the ex PM said " Particularly Muslim minority"
Why use of the word particularly"
Minority includes all minority,
That's it
@@Devmew000for Khangress Minority means Muslims, no other religion like Jains, Sikhs, etc. counts for them
Ashamed of muslim appeasement in the name of secularism to get muslim votes. It is the source of strength for noren.
This is what ex-Pm said. "I believe our collective priorities are clear. Agriculture, irrigation and water resources, health, education, critical investment in rural infrastructure, and the essential public investment needs of general infrastructure, along with programmes for the upliftment of SC/STS, other backward classes, minorities and women and children. The component plans for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes will need to be revitalised. We will have to devise innovative plans to ensure that minorities, particularly the Muslim minority, are empowered to share equitably in the fruits of development. They must have the first claim on resources"
Then, in December 10, 2006. PMO office clarified that "first claim on resources" didn't just refer to Muslims but all the "priority" areas including "SCS, STS, OBCS, women and children and minorities."
remember to use the same message in 2029..and 2034...
Democracy once lost, lost for ever.. wish people understand and act!!
Democracy does not permit Muslim appeasement politics for vote banks, you the bloody need to understand it very well !
So True. It is a one way. Will never be able to come back.
People's will = end of democracy... WOW! How about the opposition grow up, become competitive? How about offering an alternate vision that majority can get behind? This is not a DEI initiative
Support Communist and loose your identity , religion and speech - Kerala !!!!
Achha indira ke time democracy lost nahi hua or aaj democracy khatre mein hai abe brainwashed aadmi thoda to reseach kar in pseudo secular or librral ki kya bat sun kar bakwash karta hai
Surat is another Chandigarh, Modi ji today talking about Muslim, tomorrow Christian Sikh Jain Buddhist SC ST Dalits adivasi OBC and finally Rajput then only RSS and Brahmin can Rule the nation by Manuscript, people must understand the BJP is only working for Some Corporate and Brahmin. The Elections commission must take a necessary action against Modi.

People rejected authoritarianism of Indira Gandhi (lasting 19 months) in 1977.
Reminds me of an anecdote.
If you put a frog in boiling water, it will jump out immediately.
But, if you put the same frog in cold water & then slowly raise the temperature to boiling point, the frog will die, but will not jump out of water.
Ramachandra Guha is a comedian. By the way good to see these urban naxal crowd crying...lol
Vote wisely.
Vote for regional secularism instead of global secularism
Vote for Bharat not India.
@@SadguruPrernaTrust Yes, India that is Bharat. Proud of it! :)
Emergency was for 2 years and majority of the systematic amendments done during emergency were rolled back quickly by the next govt. Today India has been in an undeclared emergency for 10 years and another term would result into so much degradation of systems that it would take decades to rollback. No successive govt will be able to remove authoritative powers within a single term.
Ramachandra Guha ji, you are a crown in the jewel of India! Gompo... a humble classmate from CH 1969
Modiji's DOUBLE SPEAK AND HYPOCRISY cannot be missed by any average person. He has been self- destructive and has not come through as a man of honour by his vile and vituperative utterances. Political discourse must maintain a standard, and should not degenerate into insensitive, personal attacks.
Modi is a black spot not only to Indian politics but to humanity itself.. I do not want to compare him to any animal to insult any animal of this planet!!
Exactly true 😡😡
I agree 💯
absolutely
But Modi is your real father 😂😂

@@aditikule2482 the word "claim" is converting to the word "right", like waqf act can't be challenged in judiciary.
Don't be blind just because you hate Indian traditional culture,
like ayurveda
Learn to see white and black at every possible time, like proposing reservation for only Muslim minority inspite of having minority benefits,
Their appeasement policies doubled the population share of the "particular minority" at 20%,
Fun fact is 30-40 % vote share is enough for making govt,
They just need 10-20 % blind haters
@@Devmew000 don't assume I hate Indian traditional culture.. why the heck would I hate my own culture!!
People who hate on others without specific reasons may do that... Who dissect just one phrase out of ex PM's speech to facilitate their own narrative can't think better than this
@@aditikule2482. This is a secular country. How can a PM say a particular religious group has first claim?
Congress is not satisfied with giving two countries to muslims. It wants to do more for them.
What is special about them?
Ram Guha Sir has always been very forthright,bold and very analytical. He has painted a grim picture upon Modi’s return for the third term. Mainstream media is completely co-opted, dissenters and critics hounded and jailed, it is heartening to see Karan doing a great job by anchoring such incredible interviews. He is really bold, independent and defiant.
And it's so detailed points of suffering that Mr Guha is spilling..
He is indeed forthright and extremely analytical in his part..
His words make me fear the future 🙃
Just vote them out.
Let the voters decide. After all it is democracy, not some 'experts' school.
I wish that my friends colleagues and all indians should have been such educated and understand the importance of being in a democratic country and ACT to protect it
Excellent debate thank you very much sir
Talk on Mamata, WB.Forget other issues.
Dr Ramchandra Guha is spot on!
All these things will be said till Congress comes to power
That would be in 2054 ! May not !!!

These states can withhold all g.s.t payments to the centre.
They will not take that quietly. There will be action against that.
THEN CG CAN DISSOLVE THE STATE GOVT UNDER ART 356!
All Central University's Vice chancellors, IIT, IIMs, CSIR Research Institutes Directors all are Bharmains, baniyas, Rajputs only
Because other castes only focus on reservation jobs. They dont study and work hard.

Tumne to caste survey kar di wah wah report kaha publish ki hai ,😂

Worried that BJP will do to India what ANC did to South Africa. Frequent changes of political parties elected to government are a good thing.
but congress is not the answer There should be a new secular party. Congress supported by Muslim league is not considered secular as BJP supported by Rss.
To treat this cancer the country needs the civilised, peace loving, socialised hindu friends
Good to see Karan listening without incessantly interuppeting.
It is very unfortunate that the BJP rule has taken on the path of authoritarianism. Most of the institutions have lost their independence. India is a secular country and it should remain so irrespective of which party governs it.
Fantastic show.Thanks
It will be the sad day of our Nation and Democracy if the present dispensation continues. Already a lot of HNIs left. It will get doubled or tripled if it happens. As usual ordinary people will suffer and fight after waking up.
Absolutely correct said about RSS.
Mr Modi as a PM should uphold the constitution and rights of the people.

Ramchandra Guha is a great humanitarian. He has my respect.
Then why Guha kept silent congress misrule from 2004 to 2014 ? Can you explain ?

Encouraging, that democracy will survice in Inia.
Matter of Surat Candidature of Loksabha should be immediately dealt by the Appex court ... Surat election be kept in abeyance
We cannot expect more than this from a person who enjoys absolute power. Democracy is at threat and action rather than words to save the country is need of hour.
During emergency there were many charismatic leaders like JP, Morarji Desai, Charansingh, Vajpayee and many more in the opposition. But now there is none. It is really a worrisome situation.
A wonderful and outspoken interview with much reality,i love this interviewing
Simply enjoyed the speech and analysis. Great interview.
The idea of greater representation in the Rajya Sabha is nonsense, the party that wins the north will send their lackeys to the Rajya Sabha through the allocation to the southern states. We need true federalism to address the growing divide.
Narendara Modi : Gaslighting before gaslighting was invented.

Who will save this nation..?
Thank you Karan for this interview. Ram Guha is absolutely right. The social fabric of our country is at the weakest and is finding it very hard not to disintregrate in the powerful BJP washing machine. Very soon the people of this country will have to come together like pre independence and weave the social fabric once again. Only hope we the older generation are still there to see it happen.
This man is such a self opinionated character and a Communist at heart only a fool will take any notice of what he says.
Very well said sir, we are glad we have fearless people such as you!
They are not only against minorities but also Hindus who fight for justice, poor and down trodden and human right activics
Modi acche dictator nahi hai km se km indira gandhi se kuchh to sikhte 😂😂
Thanks
The great Ramachandra guha nice interview
They are also defining the word Hindu as per their version of Hinduism. Very soon they will swoop down on non-vegeterian Hindus. Already we are looked down upon in states like Uttarakhand or Rajasthan as non-Hindus.
Guha is not a last word of everything !
Those who have not faced jehadism, not faced stones thrown on hindus procession, conversion my, missionaries, had not to migrate like kashmiri hindus, not being called as kafirs, dont not understand what exploitation hindus are facing
The only people who can stop the majoritarianism is the majority as you said. But this is not about whether the opposition is strong or united or has good leaders or the institutions he has destroyed it is about what individual citizens chose to do. Who stopped Indira Gandhi in her tracks. The people of India. So time for the people of India to do the right thing - snatch back their country.
In addition to census, the voter turnout also needs to be considered when talking about delimitation. For eg, in the recent elections, turnout in Bihar was just 48%. What is the point of giving 30 more seats to Bihar if people don't even vote?
The final and the end point is, no one can sleep peacefully Neither me Or he . So the total peacefulness will be ruined. Hope everyone understood.
Let's not be coy and mince our words. Let's not shy away from calling a spade a spade. The ground was already fertile enough. Modiji merely sowed the seed and harvested, no surprise here, a bumper albeit bitter crop.
Yes yes sahi bola
Absolutely authentic views expressed. Change is a must.
