Woke

 A poor man in no ones relative whereas a rich is everyone's family member. It was exactly several decades before India gained its independence from British after a bitter partition with neighboring Pakistan. No right wing especially RSS participated in the freedom struggle. For that matter till 90s they had reservations with national flag as bhagwa dwaj was dearer to them.

When India gained Independence in 1947 its population numbered about 340 million. The literacy level then was 12% or about 41 million people. At the time of Independence India accounted for only 3% of the world’s GDP or about Rs 2.7 lakh-crore.When drought families would think twice to even drink water owing to the scarcity of the resource but when there are decent rains and prosperity around the same people would expect coconut water to wash their back.

Till 90s Indian majority had no reservation with sharing the power circle with the minority and there was togetherness within country as the real enemies of poverty and hunger was to be defeated and collective effort was expected in unison. As a result in 2017, India’s population scaled 1.34 billion and literacy level reached 74% or about one billion. In 2017, India accounts for 8.5% of WGDP (source IMF) or about Rs 135 lakh-crore.Source: https://www.hindustantimes.com/opinion/india-at-70-the-good-and-bad-of-india-s-growth-story/story-Y2aLsMN1nbQVr8mmI4kPON.html

 

 

 As and when India due to its futuristic leadership was able get out of vicious circle of poverty and hunger by adopting popular technologies by signing treaties with developed countries suddenly Indian majority population woke demanding the special status to their religion before the eyes of the constitution. To top it Indian leadership has been adding fuel to the fire to the age old enmity with the minority.
