Shortcomings of assertive nationalists What were the disadvantages of assertive nationalists
Answers
Assertive nationalism is nothing but a expression of our inbuilt inferiority complex towards our surrounding which includes people of other faith, class, creed, caste , it masquerades itself as PRIDE towards national symbols including Armed forces, Ancient history, a way of life and tries to forcefully impose this thoughts on others and to prove its correctness it creates or invents enemies and names and shames them.
In last 100 years the worst example of Assertive Nationalists is NAZI GERMANY where the above doctrine was executed in such ruthlessness that it is blot on face of humanity for all time to come.
Then there was something called McCarthyism practiced in US after the Soviet Union successfully tested an Atom Bomb, it was insinuated and which was proved later that some american citizen shared the technology with soviets, this episode was exploited to such an extent that for nearly 10 years every US citizen was under RADAR and was supposed to be agent of soviets, Kangaroo courts were established and people were put on trials for minutest of suspicion.
Then there is concept called Muslim Ummah which roughly means that all Muslims globally are ONE NATION and under it west, democracy, women rights, scientific education, research , nation states , Christianity, Judaism etc etc have been created as enemies a dated concept of Sharia has been declared as benchmark against which every present day issue and idea is to be tested and proved correct to be followed by Muslims globally; concept of celebrating death and rewards of heaven have been institutionalized which has wrecked Muslim communities across the globe, it has encouraged concept of opposition to secular authorities; Stone Pelting, suicide Bombing, killing of the innocents has become new normal; divisions within society between different schools have Crystallized and Solidified which is being seen in form of ISIS and war in Syria, Yemen and destruction mongering between Saudi Arabia and Iran, destabalising societies in Libya, Tunicia, Algeria, Nigeria, etc Afghanistan is on Brink, Iraq is effectively divided into Sunni and Shia, and Muslims are looked down everywhere…
Then BREXIT happened which was nothing but a LOUD EXPRESSION OF FAITH in favor of ASSERTIVE NATIONALISM, a political party BNP created and exploited enemies in immigrants and those migrants were not Muslims but SLAVS from Balkans and East Europe , large number of whom made UK their home after the fall of Soviet empire and disintegration of Yugoslavia along with came issues of Mafia, Crime, Human Trafficking, Drug Pedaling, Prostitution , Job losses, decrease in income, competition, these immigrants become majority in some unforeseen future, controlling economy and job market was exploited to the hilt, The campaign of mainstream political parties both Labor and Conservative on positives of remaining with European Union and long term benefits and reaping dividends of investments in European Union did not cut ice with majority which voted for Brexit. On analysis of Results it was found that Urban areas Like London, Manchester, Scotland which have integrated well voted against but Rural and small towns voted in Favor of BREXIT.
The learning from BREXIT and campaign model of BNP has been very well adopted in India since the run up to last general election and have become more aggressive after 2014, a enemy was invented in name of corrupt congress, appeasements, development etc and charges were drummed up with Nationalistic Fervor thrown in in big dollops an impression has been created if you are with congress you are anti national, against development, believe in appeasement of minorities and castiest. Responsibility as fixed and DECISION articulated where Congress was held responsible for everything that AILS the nation….A report-card in 2018 on promises and charges made will be an eye opener : No corruption Charges have been proved, No corruption charges proved in 3G case , Nobody speaks of Commonwealth game ; Nobody speaks about mines allocation; No leader or Family member who were named and shamed have been jailed, Robert Vadera, Sheila Dixit, Suresh Kalmadi are few who were named and shamed; LOKPAL is still not appointed, AADHAR has become more draconian than what was planned , MGNAREGA continues, FARMER SUICIDE continues, FARM distress, Farm Loan waver continuous, Fuel prices are at all time high..etc
