I have been a defender of Bharat for 3 decades (& Narendra Modi since 2002). I am also known to be a staunch defender of Hindus, a wonderful people, the holders of the last Knowldge on this Planet: "who am I, why am I born again and again, what is atma, karma, what is dharma, how God, He or She, reincarnates Himself or Herself at different times, using different names & Scriptures I have too repeatedly said that India is the next world superpower, economic, political, nuclear etc. I have emphasized that contrary to China, India is a vibrant democracy, with a liberal, western loving people & that the black karma (of killing one million Tibetans & 3 million of their own people) will catch up with Chinese sooner or later; & the good krama of India (having never invaded another country to impose its religion) will help overtake the Chinese Dragon (sooner than later)...
But Sportswise? India at Paris 2024 Olympics tally - 5 medals, 4 bronze & one silver; China tally: 73, out of which 39 are Gold. What are the lessons in that?
That it's a pathetic pathetic result for nation of 1,4 billion
That what is even more pathetic is that everyone has a good excuse (100grms overweight, groin injury, hostile referee etc)
That Indians are good losers: they rush to their opponents, like Chopra to the Paki to congratulate them
That Indians don't work hard, prepare themselves thoroughly, reach methodically their peak at the right time, etc
That as long as Indians have this colnial obsession with cricket, all other sports will be stifled and all Media, sponsorship, adds, attention, will be vampirized by these 12 spoilt brats who travel first class and stay in 5 stars - but note that in these Olympics for the first time, India's big corporate houses did a major effort to promote, sponsor and broadcast the efforts of the Indian contingent (thank you Mr & Mrs Ambani, whatever is said about you, we are grateful for your efforts and hope you will not be discouraged by the failure of Indian sportsmen
That the political leadershio of India, namely the BJP Govt, instead of doing some hard soul searching on why this massive failure and how to make a drastic effort at the Govt level (make sport compulsory from kndergarden onwards, pick up early young talent, nurture and sponsor them, increase massively the sport budget, stop having political nominees as sports ministers), felicitates not only those who settled for the smaller spoils, but also those who failed completely (the famous 'heartbreak' 4th placed) and dishes out accolades and disproportionate money to the few who succeeded.
So how does this compare to what's happening in Bangladesh? Well we must speak here about the Hindu mindset, because most of the sportsmen and women in Olympics are Hindus and it is Hindus who are getting butchered in Bangladesh and a Hindu leadership is at the helm of India since 11 years (remember that most of the BJP leadership comes from the RSS, which, though it doesn't say it openly today, was created to defend Hindus). Lessons:
Hindus have a colonized mind, that is they never fight back and do not defend themselves, as seen in Kashmir, when 350.000 Hindus fled without firing a shot. We also witness in Bangladesh that they are like cattle waiting to be slaughtered. Here we must say that the Mahatma Gandhi's ahimsa influence, whatever his other qualities, has had a disastrous influence on Hindus (added to the Buddhist one, based on the fact that emperor Ashoka is supposed to have given up violence seeing the carnage of the Kalinga battle - which is absolutely wrong - he converted to Buddhism to counter the strong political influence of the Jains then). In short, like in the Olympics, Hindus do not have the rage or even the eagerness to win. In French we says "La rage de vaincre"
In turn the Hindu leadership in India, is toothless when its own brothers & sisters, the Hindus of Bangladesh or Leicester, or Kashmir are slaughtered. A few goody-goody words do not win a battle Again, I am a defender of Hindus, I have known Mr Advani and MM Joshi, whom I call my friends, snce long, but the BJP reaction to the killing of Hindus in Bangladesh is as pathetic as the results of the Indian contingent in Paris and shows the same characteritics - lack of determination, indecisiveness, no rage to win, no courage. Whatever you say about islam, Muslims never fear death when it comes to defending their Prophet or their brothers and sisters in Palestine.
Also, Indian politicians are good losers like Chopra, they felicitate Mohamed Yunus, who is probably at heart a hardcore Muslim, is in the hands of the bangladeshi army and knows very well what is happening to the Hindus, Christians & ahmadis of his country.
A word about China: the Chinese show the same dedication and ruthlessness in politics that they displayed in their Olympics with 73 medals. They always have the better of India, because they know that the Hindus will rather talk and be duped, than stand with force ( I am talking about political leadership, not soldiers, who retain the last of the kshatriya spirit in India)
In conclusion, the Hindu mind is still colonized except for a few individuals, Hindus will not fight and have forgotten the message of the Bhagavad Gita: that force and violence are dharmic, when your people are killed, your women raped, your temples burnt, your houses destroyed, your borders threatened. Ultimately #Hindulivesdontmatter to non-Hindus, Hindus, & Hindu political leadership... You are In Sports as you are in Life. This must change and it can change. India must aim 25 medals at next Olympics and resolve to stand for Hindus the world over, with force and determnation. François Gautier
