India

According to an opinion piece written by The Wall Street General, the BJP is the world’s most important foreign political party from the point of view of America’s interests. It can also be considered the least. This opinion is written by Walter Russell Mead.
It is written in the opinion that after the electoral victories in 2014 and 2019, the BJP is moving towards victory again in 2024. India is emerging as a major economic power. America’s strategy in the Indo-Pacific region is with Japan. It is written in this that in the coming time, BJP will create such dominance in the country that without whose help it will be difficult for America to reduce the growing power of China.
6 big things of opinion…
1. BJP wants to lead the country to make India a super power
Walter wrote that the BJP is poorly understood because it stems from a political and cultural history unfamiliar to most non-Indians. BJP’s electoral dominance reflects the victory of workers and generations of hard work, social movement and thought.
Like the Muslim Brotherhood, the BJP rejects many of the ideas and priorities of Western liberalism. Like the Communist Party of China, the BJP wants to lead the country to become a super power in the world with over a billion people. Like the Likud party in Israel, the BJP combines a market-based economic stance with rhetoric and traditional values. It even feeds into the anger of those who feel cut off from society because of Western culture and political overtones.
2. People fear the might of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)
American analysts and especially those with left liberal views look at Narendra Modi’s India and ask why it is not like Denmark. Journalists critical of the establishment can face harassment and worse.
Religious minorities who are against resurgent Hindu pride point out that the BJP refers to anti-conversion laws and occasional mob violence. Many fear the might of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist organization. Who has relation with BJP. Mead believes that there are many more stories in India.
3. Shia Muslims are getting full support in Uttar Pradesh
Recently BJP has got electoral successes in the Christian states of North East of India. Uttar Pradesh, a state with a population of about 200 million, ruled by the BJP, is getting a lot of support from Shia Muslims. RSS workers have played an important role in trying to fight caste discrimination.
Having lived with senior BJP and RSS leaders and their critics, it can be said that Americans and Westerners need to engage more deeply with a complex and powerful movement.
4. RSS is the world’s most powerful social organization
With the involvement of intellectuals and religious enthusiasts, RSS has become the most powerful social organization in the world. With its rural and urban development programmes, religious education and reform efforts, thousands of volunteers in all walks of life have succeeded in changing the political views of millions of people.
5. Yogi is considered as Modi’s successor
Mead recalled meeting with Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. Wrote that the movement seems to have reached a crossroads, when I met Yogi Adityanath, he was a Hindu monk as CM. Who is considered one of the most radical voices. Yogi is considered the successor of 72-year-old Prime Minister Modi.
Similarly, Mohan Bhagwat talked to me about the need to accelerate India’s economic development. He rejected the view that religious minorities should be discriminated against or harmed.
After all, how the statements given by top leaders to foreign journalists go down to the lowest level, it is difficult to even guess. But I got the impression that India wanted to engage deeply and productively with the outside world through its social and political base.
6. America needs India for economic and political partnership
After all, how the statements given by top leaders to foreign journalists go down to the lowest level, it is difficult to even guess. But I got the impression that India wanted to engage deeply and productively with the outside world through its social and political base.
An invitation to join hands with the BJP and the RSS is something Americans can’t refuse. As tensions with China escalate, the US needs India for economic and political partnership. Politicians and investors who want to engage economically with India need to understand the ideology of the Hindu nationalist movement.
