How can an Indian be an outsider in India?

After an orchestrated hate campaign against Hindus by the media, the BJP has been trounced in Bihar state elections. As is usual in India people voted for handouts and caste, rather than for development. The Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar is overjoyed at his victory because of his personal hatred for Prime Minister Modi. Having sold himself for victory at any cost is there a hint of fear in the dark recesses of his mind about the pounds of flesh Mr Lalu Yadav will demand for engineering his victory? But maybe the people of Bihar will have to pay a higher cost. Nitish Kumar's racist attack on Modi, when he urged the people to vote for him, a Bihari (a native of Bihar), rather than Modi, a Bahari (an outsider), may return to haunt him. Since there are no jobs in Bihar, which has the highest fertility rate in India, they migrate to other states in India, looking for jobs. There have been violence against them in various states in the past. When the late Bal Thackeray, chief of Shiv Sena, wrote," One Bihari equals a hundred diseases, two Biharis mean preparing for a fight, three Biharis mean a train hijack and five Biharis will try to take over the ruling government," an enraged Nitish Kumar asked the then Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh to take action. If Modi from Gujarat is an outsider in Bihar then all Biharis are outsiders in other states, and the Chief Minister has made them fair game. After claiming to be a Bihari will Nitish Kumar be able to improve the image of Biharis in the rest of India where 'Bihari' is used as a word of abuse? As for the BJP, the party should not use the Prime Minister to campaign for state elections because he can only talk in terms of development and cannot bribe voters with money, televisions and bicycles, like local politicians can. Such is the hared against Hindus in India among the pseudo-secular politicians and the media that the RSS has been painted as a terrorist organisation. The same people have no problem in inviting Pakistanis to India despite constant terrorist attacks on India by that nation of fanatics. The RSS should learn from the missionaries who are never in the news, conducting their nefarious conversions in silence. They have built schools where they bring children from poor families and train them only in theology so that they will continue with conversions once they leave. With massive money from abroad they have targets for conversions. The RSS must reconvert the converted. It must embrace the lower castes, build schools for them and help them to get started in the job market. And finally, the RSS must establish a think-tank which will research how other countries treat their own minorities so that when the US or the EU lectures us on intolerance we can lecture them back. Else the pseudo-secular hordes will exterminate all Hindus, what the Moguls and the British failed to do. Learn, or else.
