What is your view on the saying "Congress has looted India
for 70 years?"

By Vijay Raheja

It isn't the looting of wealth that bothers me so much as
the sheer fact that the Congress merely replaced the Brits
in some ways - they just became masters of the same,
broken, weak people, who were simply willing to suck up to
authority. Nobody gave India confidence! This is the part
that bothers me so much, especially with MK Gandhi's style
of 'winning' us freedom by giving the enemy higher moral
ground.

So, India has grown up as an apologetic impotent nation,
where our children are taught to revere impractical,
passive, cowardly notions like non-violence, when
everything in nature tells us to fight to survive. Of
course I know the philosophy of not fighting because of
being strong. But this comes from mastery, not shamelessly
bowing to masters!

So, we saw a change of guard. The Brits went, and new
masters came in the form of the Congress Party. Hierarchies
remained, the class system remained, and subservience
remained. Where the heck did all the dynamism go?

Then we were thrown into a socialist mindset, people
waiting for alms from government wealth redistribution
programs instead of being empowered. We got protectionist
policies, that prevented prosperity and competition,
throwing us away from a path of a meritocracy. Hindustan
Motors was started around the same time as Toyota, and Tata
Steel started around the same time as Nippon Steel. Nippon
Steel produces around five times as much as Tata Steel
without native resources of ore. No need to talk about
Hindustan Motors and Toyota. Japan coming out of twin
nuclear strikes was devastated way more than India under
the Brits. Do we need to compare how different the growth
paths of these two nations have been?

Only when thousands died did we start the Green Revolution.
Only when China attacked us did we realize we need to
become militarily stronger. Only with our backs against the
wall, did India liberalize its economy. Under the Congress,
every move we have made towards any kind of development has
come under inevitable circumstances, with our backs against
the wall.

India was never allowed to be truly independent, strong,
and proud of its people's full potential. No wonder so many
of us left in droves and thrived in various countries
elsewhere. This is the loot I would feel most wronged by -
denying India its best talents and minds, because we didn't
create the conditions for dignified development.

Incredibly, the immense sacrifices of our fighting heroes
were also swept aside under this avalanche of worship for
Gandhiji. Why? So that the Brits would feel good? The
Congress party was reporting to British Intelligence for 5
years after we became an independent country, about Subhash
Bose's family's movements. During a criminal probe of the
Bofors scandal, the Congress External Affairs minister
delivered a letter to a foreign body to deny evidence and
cooperation to an Indian investigating agency. Years later,
a whole bunch of Congress members and their cronies used
the letterhead of the Indian Parliament to petition the USA
to not issue a visa to Narendra Modi, the man who would
become Prime Minister. It is these bunch of ass lickers
that I want to hang or burn over a slow fire.

The Congress has a clear obsession with white people and a
need to constantly please them. When Hillary Clinton asked
India to wean itself off Iranian oil, the Congress
government promptly obliged, even though Iran and India
have been close friends for a long time. No surprise then
that pasta aunty from Italy is their supremo. Think she
would have got the same respect if she had been a Nigerian
black woman? I don't think so. That's how deeply ingrained
the slave mentality is in the ranks of the Congress.

It is the loot of India's pride, dignity, dynamism and die
hard spirit that bothers me much much more than the loot of
wealth. This country produced enough wealth to support the
British Empire for 200 dyears. It can easily produce much
more to ensure prosperity, health and well being for its
own people. This is an abundant, powerful country, that has
been prevented from being a developed, forward thinking,
awesome nation that could by now have been an example for
the world.

If India has been a weak, apologetic nation for so long,
it's precisely because of the Congress. Why do we have to
put up with these weasels and the fools who are aligning
with them? I could even tolerate a ruthless, despotic,
dictatorial mindset. It is this slimy, backstabbing, self
serving Lutyens mindset that really irks me. I would give
anything to destroy this smugness, decimate it, and put it
firmly behind us.

The economic loot is nothing compared to this, but we will
bloody well make them pay for all of it
