"Acche Din", Modi Bhakt, etc... Brief translation from Bhau Torsekar's blog....

In the recent past since May 2014, a clear trend has been seen among the people of India. Some Indian people are clearly divided into 3 categories. I said some Indians because a major section of Indian society, much bigger than the total of these three categories, has clearly stayed away from these three categories. They are busy with their day to day work and are least bothered about what all things and infighting is happening between these categories of people. However they still enjoy all the fighting as that has probably become their day to day dose of entertainment on social media, television news channels.

The first category of people are those who think quite rationally, analyze the policies of government, praise wherever required and wherever required criticize too. This category of people are called “Modi Bhakt”. At the exact opposite end are people who are either completely biased “for” Modi or “anti” Modi. Their opinions are made by only one word, Modi. Such people are called “Modi Bhrasht”. Their daily opinions are completely based on only one point. Either they support Modi or they bash Modi. The third category of people are “Modi Trast”. Such kind of people are still (after 2 years) unable to digest that Modi has defeated them, their ego and became the Prime Minister of India.

MODI BHAKT
“Modi Bhakt” are not necessarily the BJP members or supporters. They may not even have their own political opinion. However these Bhakts are made by people who have seen all the bad things said for Modi by his bashers. They don’t blindly support Modi, but from their heart they believe that Modi should succeed in his mission. They have seen all the rhetoric against Modi for past 15 years. And a strong belief that Modi has done no wrong (which eventually was proven later in 2015) made these people support and be supportive of Modi in his mission. These people are not also supporters of BJP. The situation in which Modi has emerged as a contestant for position of Prime Ministers, has made them believe that today there is no one else who is fit for the job. And Modi was clever enough to recognize this group to take a plunge into the race of becoming PM. There were and are many in BJP even today who don’t want Modi as PM. People have not forgotten Advani’s reaction when Modi was made the PM candidate. This group does not have any personal expectations from Modi. But they have a firm belief that Modi will take this country forward. And therefore this group of people is not ashamed to call themselves as a “Modi Bhakt”. This was proven when at a request of Modi, 1.25cr people gave up their gas subsidy. These are the real “Modi Bhakts”. These people are least interested in bull shit of other people’s comments which triggered the intolerance debate. They are bothered only with what Modi is doing. And hence when there are Modi bashers, these Bhakts are at the forefront to defend Modi.

MODI BHRASHT
The second category is called “Modi Bhrasht”. This category consists of people who are extreme likers of Modi and extreme haters of Modi. The likers think that Modi is an Avtari Purush who is born to make India a 1st world country. They are so much in liking of Modi that they feel that their day to day problems such as trains getting late, water logging in heavy rains will be solved just by doing Modi Jaap. These people believe whatever Modi does is the last word and it is as good as “Akashwani”. Such people then also start supporting even wrong actions of Modi government. The Anti Modi in this category are people who don’t want to understand, accept that Modi is a democratically elected Prime Minister and has to be accepted that way. For these people whatever Modi says even if it correct, will be wrong. Their day starts and ends with only one word. Modi. If we analyse in detail, it would be amply clear that both Pro Modi and Anti Modi are of the same category. People who cannot think rationally. One is hell bent on making Modi a god and other is hell bent on making Modi a devil.

MODI TRAST
The third category of people are “Modi Trast”. These people are the ones who are unable to digest the fact that Modi became PM even after 12 years of hate, bad publicity, wrong accusations, etc… They keep wondering how this guy has turn tides and made fool out of us!!! These people are not necessarily against Modi from today, 2014, or even 2002. They were “trast” even before that. Because Modi is a member of RSS and has grown up with RSS ideology. And therefore once he has relationship with RSS, it becomes unnecessary to further say anything. They even are not interested in what was the subject on which discussion was going on. Being sarcastic is the primary qualification of being Modi Trast. When the American Congressman give a standing ovation or clap several times for Modi, these people go on to say, “so what? people clap when a clown shows his art”. While saying that, these people completely forget that they too clap for somebody, sometime!!! These people can’t sleep properly as they cannot digest that even after they doing almost anything on earth to block Modi from going to USA, he is given a red carpet welcome, Obama shares a good cordial relation with him, etc… And therefore such people whenever see something good for Modi, Modi being praised somewhere, start immediately bashing Modi. And in that effort even if they do a complete U turn on their own old opinion, that does not shame them. Excellent example is GST. These people then question the perfect legitimate statements of Modi!!! Tomorrow if Modi says, Sun rises in East, these people will question even that, just because it is said by Modi.
Even as the Islamic countries celebrate International Yog Day, many Muslims from India participate in the celebrations, this category is busy labelling Yog as a “Hindutva conspiracy”. Till such time Modi remains active in Indian politics, this category of people will have a rog, called being “Modi Trast”.

The nation is fortunate that there are Millions of Indians who are neither Trast not Bhrasht. But simple Bhakts who think rationally and support and criticize Modi wherever required. Narendra Modi is in turn fully aware about such Bhrasht and Trast people and recognises that he cannot go behind these foolish people and hence can do something good for this country. Therefore for the past two years, he was able to provide a corruption free governance at the Centre. Finally I again reiterate. Not having “bure din” is having “ACCHE DIN”.
