Is there any likeness or similarity between Nariendra Modi and Adolf Hitler? If you ask this question to Modi himself, you may get neither yes nor no. Therefore it will be better to twitter in the mind of Hitler and Modi and on the basis of their believes will analysis the facts and tries to come at any conclusion. Before Godhra incident persona and aura of Modi was not be very much significant in the arena of politics neither in Gujrat State nor in outside of the state Only after the Godhra incident N Modi emerged as Hindu massihia and recently he also declared himself as Hindu Nationalist in an interview given to Reuter. In social media and in electronic media Modi has come out as most charismatic and energetic individual as Adolf Hitler was in Germany in twentieth century’s.
In Hitler’s view, the Nation could be represented only as race, the pure breed of the people.The definition of the race according to Adolf Hitler was that what makes a people to be a race was not a language but blood. This word is repeated throughout “Mein Kampf” and in his view Nation is of a rigid closed ethnic nation formed around an ethnic core, in order to unite the nation against internal and external threats. For him the state is only instrument to preserve and promote the existence of race. Hitler believed that the state is to conserve and protect racial characteristics, and on basis of this he created a discourse of We and You an essential traits of ethnic nationalism. This form of nationalism was based upon bloodlines and race, and is therefore is seen as exclusive when contrasted to an inclusive form of civic nationalism that bases membership upon common values and beliefs. Could we find any difference between concept of Modi’s nationalism and Hitler’s nationalism when Modi says that I am Hindu nationalist? Definitely answer is No; both are the faces of same coin.
In forthcoming election of 2014 BJP party has given him responsibility for launching media campaign against Congress to win general elections. Now he is in charge of media wing of the party and his followers have great faith in him because they sense him a master in using craft of social and electronic media for propagandas as Hitler did in Germany.Hitler believed that by the skillful and sustained use of propaganda one could make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.Through propaganda Hitler succeeded in installing a heavy fear in German people that German nation was in decline and need a strong leader. In same fashion today Modi is accusing UPA governments for all problems and also abusing the present leadership as deaf and dumb. Last month’s he painted picture of India as a failure country before Poona’s young generation. He raised the slogan ‘Congress mukt Bharat Nirman.’ Modi has focused his campaign less on good governance and development and more on issues of nationality and communalism at every level.
Dr Bipan Chander, the renowned historian, has defined communalism as not a set of specific policies such as the building of a temple at Ayodhya or the enactment of a uniform civil code but for him communalism is basically an ideology, a belief system, a way of looking at society and polity." (Dr. Bipan Chandra: The BJP's Ideology) .If you read Golwalkar’s views, founder of RSS, on ethnic problem, he had firm believes that the non-Hindu people in Hindusthan so long, however, as they maintain their racial, religious and cultural differences, they could not but be only foreigners. There would only be two courses open to the foreign elements, either to merge themselves in the national race, or to live at its mercy so long as the national race may allow them to do so and to quit the country at the sweet will of the national race. Hitler’s views on Religious freedom which were mentioned in the 25-Point program; he demanded freedom for all religions "provided they do not threaten [the State's] existence nor offend the moral feelings of the Germanic race." RSS’s view is just carbon copy of Hitler’s view. Now you could guess about the real propaganda of BJP. If BJP succeed in 2014 they will impede not only communal harmony but they also will destroy the democracy like Hitler did in 1933 after he was elected democratically.
Hitler had no faith in Western democracy partially because of its slow pace. He believed that "The essence of leadership as conceived by the National Socialist State is the capacity to form rapid decisions." (Hitler, My New Order 228) Hitler’s intent was that the leader of the ruling party should dominate the nation: "The Furher is the supreme judge of the nation; there is no position in the area of constitutional law in the Third Reich, independent of this elemental will of the Furher." Modi is also blaming UPA government for non decisiveness and non effectiveness.
Aakar Patel, a writer and columnist expressed his view that “Modi has an image of himself that is messianic, and that is coupled with the fact that he has a large ego. Actually Modi loves himself. His most devoted fan can only be his number two fan, because Narendra Modi's number one fan will always be Narendra Modi”. It shows his dictatorship attitudes. In social media the words NaMo is used for Modi which came from his initials in Gujarati, but they also mean "to bow before". Being an old RSS pracharak Modi has strong faith in power of propaganda that according to Hitler it should be systemically, a one sided attitude towards every problem that has to be dealt with and propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively, in so far as it is favorable to its side. That’s why Nehru, our first prime minister has warned about consequences of propagandas. In his words “the quality of men who are selected by these modern democratic methods of adult franchise gradually deteriorates because of lack of thinking and noise of propagandas…..He(voter) reacts to sound and to the din, he reacts to repetition and he produces either a dictator or dumb politician who is insensitive Such a politician can stand all the din in word and still remain standing on his two feet and therefore he gets selected in the end because the other have collapsed because of the din”.
