What poking fun at army over Yeti signifies

The venom and contemptuous sarcasm evident on the army's tweet on the Yeti and my
reply has something to do with the intrinsic hatred that a section of the media
nurses against the right wing, says Tarun Vijay.

Narendra Damodardas Modi has upset the comfort zone of the secular cartel that
represented a precipitated hate for the assertive Indian.

Still, the highly politicised and opinionated 'secular' media is able to speak
falsehoods and hit hard at newly emerging assertive Indians and their
spokespersons.

Their last battle to shield the 'bachaa-khucha' -- whatever is left -- of their

empire is climaxing in mocking missiles on right-wing followers.

Their practice of ideological apartheid was so strong and overpowering that a
journalist in her arrogance tweeted from her pedestal, 'We donated land to Yogi
Adityanath's ancestors to build the Gorkahdham temple'!

Some cheek they have. They donated to us. Who are they? They align with the
invaders. Who are we? They say we are the beggars, the vanquished people who
received donations from the conquistadors. And then the same discredited Aryan
invasion theory is projected.

Like the political Opposition, they believe if a blatant lie is spoken a thousand
times, it gets registered as the truth in public perception.

The Yeti episode and the loud laugh by the chatterati 'secular class' at the Indian
Army and my reply underline a mindset that is resisting the change. I saluted the
Indian Army, felt proud about its achievement.

The Yeti has been an area of my study since my college days and I undertook two
journeys to Tibet, that included visiting Yogi Milarepa's cave in the Ngari
prefecture in my pursuit to gain more knowledge about the Abominable Snowman. But
that's another story.

The falsification of my tweet is not a new thing -- the seculars are past masters
in the Stalinised transformation of the truth into their convenient versions.

A clear divide is to be seen in the media, like in pre-Partition days. The secular
class, against Ayodhya, Article 370 removal, common civil code, cow protection and
Ram Setu is a consolidated, organised, sector in the media.

They must write against the armed forces, assertive Indians, celebrate Kashmir
insurgents, befriend jihadis, publish columns by pronounced beef-eaters, and
fulfill secular obligations by hitting us, whatever the occasion, whatever the time
or matter.

They must raise their voice against assertive Indians, seeing absolutely nothing
positive in us even if a larger part of the nation supports us and votes us.

They think all those supporters are wrong till they convert to the secular class's
faith.

Proselytisers of another hue, these seculars have become more venomous and harsher
than the Portuguese Jesuit harvesters of faith who used excruciatingly painful
inquisition methods to convert Hindus in Goa.

They are the secular extra space leg people, whose daily life depends on doles from
foreign agencies and NGOs, and have been spoilt by the likes of Nurul Hassan to
Arjun Singh.

They have convinced themselves that they are the lone torch-bearers of Indian
voices, whom the India desk on Capitol Hill and the European parliament, Amnesty,
Unesco, and public diplomacy department of the MEA and Alliance Française de Delhi
gave shelter, fat fees for new books and video films -- which none read or saw --
and invites.

With Modi's rise, their space has shrunk, their Siberias and Gulags on news desks
are questioned, fellowships gone. Hence the hurt.

The venom and contemptuous sarcasm evident on the army's tweet on Yeti and my reply
has something to do with the intrinsic hatred that a section of the media nurses
against the right wing. Nothing new.
