Understanding The Scenario

                The world is changing and is changing pretty quickly much to the discomfort and surprise to the leftists. The ideal world of the privileged, spun around the demented notion of hating India and Indian culture, which is devoid of ugly "Bigoted' Hindus is in the self-destruction mode. And as the hallowed communist world is crumbling, the changed scenario is exposing the ugly self-obsessed, thoroughly corrupt leftist ideology. Leftist ideology engulfed the popular psyche in the aftermath of independence and continued its grip over intellectual fraternity until the mid-'90s, eventually lost its relevance in the modern era.
              With declining fortunes, the Left mutated, from the crushed working classes or the economic bondage of the industrial revolution to issues such as racial equality, gender equality, gay rights, minority rights. The mutation helped the leftist's ideology to survive the world over on college campuses. These issues were supported by the majority of the population, however, in its zeal to emerge as a leader, the leftists wrongly misread such victories(on social issues) as their own and not of the society which has evolved or transformed lately. 
                   Leftists in India have been conducting a kind of cultural war against Hindus since independence. With academics and cinema which was the popular mode of entertainment (easily manipulated) under their influence, they were successful in setting the narrative. As one needs an enemy to malign and project oneself superior and claim holy, the leftists went on rampage thus prooving the infamous quote true, ''I’m Left and You’re wrong, however, in case of India its variant was - I’m Left and You’re Communal". In its wisdom to smudge and scorn at Hindus and their culture, they were endlessly looking for small minority blocs to patronize, the first one to depend upon were Muslims, minuscule Christian population, etc. In their endeavor to garner support, they didn't shy away from screaming for the human rights of the criminal elements than with their victims. Democracy has been mischievously used as a weapon to destroy the very society that takes pride in democratic and pluralistic values. The leftists projected Hindu Nationalists as the oppressors, and their victims are righteous in uniting in the revolution against the Hindus. 
                 School and college books were fudged with historical blunders while leftist historians like Irfan Habib, Romila Thapar (fake Aryan invasion) had a free run. They twisted Indian history, making barbarians heroic while demonizing native rulers. Every possible treachery or mischief can be cited in the books, that had a profound influence on impressionable minds, making the young generation oblivious to the glorious Indian history and culture. The second method employed to smudging Hindus and influencing young minds is the visual media namely cinema. 
                  The secular cinema has been Hindu bashing for decades.  Every society has some flaws rooted in history which an enlightened society strives to overcome with time. The flaws and comic narration of  Hindu culture and Sanatan Dharma in the guise of exposing social evils is however rampant in Bollywood. The young generation that barely crosschecks the facts takes the movies as gospel truth, benefiting the pseudo-narrative. Thus, mocking of culture and tarnishing the warriors who fought for the civilization and the Dharma is conveniently peddled in the name of freedom of expression. The research carried out by Dheeraj Sharma (Professor, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad) is an eye-opener and can be assessed at - https://www.hindustantimes.com/editorials/stereotypicality-in-indian-cinema-is-not-a-healthy-trend/story-y6SG1xuOvBb0cZfWJpUg0H.html 
                As Russian scientist and Nobel laureate Ivan Pavlov proved in 1900's that the brain can be programmed to like or vehemently dislike someone or something without any reason, films and other media instruments, fudged history books are and has been frequently and for long used to create a negative perception of Hindus, Indian cultural values or organizations and such an impression once created is ever-lasting and no amount of facts, reasoning or proof can alter it. From Pavlov's theory to cognitive learning theory, there are a host of scientific facts to prove that people are and can be mentally n emotionally manipulated to desist from certain ways of life or programmed to dislike things, without there knowledge. Such is the influence on young minds that they abhor the very people who stand for inherent shared values while colluding with arsonists and communal thugs.
