Hello, social media warriors. It’s time someone said it straight: Enough with the Modi-bashing. narendra modi is not your local backbencher or a mere politician you can ridicule at will. He is the Prime Minister of India—the democratically elected face of 1.4 billion people. Mocking him isn't edgy; it’s a reckless display of ignorance and entitlement.
Under Article 19(2) of the indian Constitution, your right to free speech ends where public order and national integrity begin. Criticizing leadership is one thing—but mocking and vilifying the highest office in the land during national crises isn't just undignified—it borders on sedition.
After every terrorist attack, some indians take to social media to hurl blame at Modi. Tell me, what exactly are YOU doing for national security apart from hashtags and whatsapp forwards? Do you even respect your own religion, your own culture? Or is virtue-signaling the new patriotism?
When a Muslim community leader publicly frames a terror act as “religious retaliation,” where is the outrage? Where are the voices of unity? Have the rest of us gone deaf and dumb just because speaking up might not be “politically correct”?
Modi is a Hindu. So what? Does that make him guilty every time a terrorist strikes? Are we now blaming a leader’s religion for our national tragedies? If so, shame on us.
Let’s be clear: Blame the terrorists. Blame the handlers. Blame the security lapses if any. But don’t you dare weaponize faith or leadership to fit your narrative.
This is not just about Modi. It’s about what we’re becoming as a nation. A country that tears down its own leadership when it should be standing tall and united. Critique is democratic. Mockery, hate, and selective outrage are not.
Wake up, India.
