Letter 7: Undemocratic: the story of radical Left's war on democracy in India

Letters from the basement

02-07-2021 • 28 mins

When Manmohan Singh was pretending to be the Prime Minister of India  but Sonia Gandhi was actually taking all decisions, the government  policy was decided not by the cabinet but by Mrs Gandhi's kitchen  cabinet called the NAC, the national advisory council, filled with  leftist activists like Aruna Roy, Yogendra Yadav, Jeane Dreze, Harsh  Mander, etc. After 2014, when that corrupt and inept government got  kicked out, it should have been the end of this activist gang's ability  to dictate our lives. But that was not to be. When they lost government  power, they took over the streets and continued tormenting the country  for denying them power. Since 2014, when Narendra Modi was elected Prime Minister of India,  the country has suffered a constant assault of agitations and riots  orchestrated by the radical Left activists. Leftists resorting to these  kinds of tactics to undermine the outcome of the democratic process is  not at all surprising; that’s what they have been doing in our country  and across the world whenever they lost control over the government. In this podcast, I take a look at how the radical left has been  subverting democracy in India through use of violence and has been  attempting to deny us, the people of this country, the right to  determine government policies. Watch to understand their tactics and  methods. My vlog on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA): https://lettersfrombasement.in/2020/01/19/the-citizenship-amendment-act/
