What happened last week in Gujarat was not something special.
It was the Patel/Patidar stir for demand of Reservation for their community.
Basically what I feel is that this stir does not appear to be genuine.
It appears that this person their leader Hardik Patel is backed by the same people who are in power at the Center i.e. the BJP-RSS combine.
The Patel Community knows that BJP cannot solve any problems.
What I have known since the very beginning, this Patel community is realising now.
BJP-RSS cannot solve any problems but rather create more problems and that is what they realised.
So how did this stir happen.
Was it a spur of the moment or was it pre-planned?
What I feel that it would be a combination of both-spur of the moment plus pre-planned.
We know that before Iraq was to be invaded in 2003, there were rallies around the globe to prevent war and people could be seen carrying the banner "No to War" and "Not in My Name".
Did it help prevent war? I will say no. Rather it made people "ready for war".
These rallies only made people "acclimatize to war". By getting a dose of war protest before the war, the authorities whether Bush Govt. in US or Tony Blair in UK made it sure when they actually invaded Iraq the protest would not exist.
The rallies before the war were actually backed by the very people who went for the war. They know that going to war is a big thing and creating these kind of protests in their heartland will actually neutralize the protests. All opposition will be silenced by a "show of force of protests".
Similar is the protest now. I feel the BJP-RSS Combine did a 'stage manage' of protest in Gujarat and now just before Bihar elections they are planning to take these protest nationwide.
And just like we saw before Iraq war, the ruling combine wants to ensure that these protest get adequate coverage in media and people get to know and talk and hear about it and it will keep the very "ruling alliance" namely BJP-RSS combine relevant.
This guy Hardik Patel is verily working for the same people he is protesting against. He is out on a mission to keep them relevant when they are unable to deliver anything. They are both sides of the same coin in other words.
