Negative Anarchy: the Cut Throat Politics of Ram Mandir, Adding Much to the BJP's Woes! Negative Anarchy: The Cut Throat Politics Of Ram Mandir, Adding Much To The BJP’s Woes! By Sabyasachi Biswal , January 22, 2019 For time immemorial, anarchy has struck into our chord a feeling of uneasiness, a state of chaos difficult to control without a central figure of power and have long been associated with the synonyms of disorder, disturbance, lawlessness and mayhem. But quite surprisingly the dictionary meaning and the one accepted in the political spheres of theorists and researchers claim anarchy as a concept having both positive and negative implications. On one hand it is described as a negative “lack of control” (Cambridge Dictionary n.d.) and on the other it is portrayed as a positive “utopia” where citizens enjoy complete freedom without the government’s intervention (Merriam Webster n.d.). Hence, it was no surprise that famous anarchist David Wieck in his famous article “The negativity of anarchism” mentioned anarchy as an idea of liberation, an end to overt or covert power structures that control movements of liberations as well as rejection of concept that dominates the society for dubious self-interest on grounds of hierarchical control. Though it sat well inside the ears, he also ended up describing it as highly anti-political and a system of inconceivable power calling out a greater question of who will decide and quite fearfully attached it to the dissolution of only stable political order – democracy (Wieck 1975). Anarchy has prevailed as the reason for some of the greatest revolutions, the pages of history has ever seen. The French Revolution of 1789 and the Tunisian Revolution in the early 2011 stands out as some of the most prominent revolutions arising out from positive anarchist ideas among others, threatening to topple the regimes of their respective countries by the likes of common men like Robespierre and Bouzazi if the demands of the ordinary citizens are not met to establish a democratic state if not socialist. Quite contrary to that, one such people’s uprising is currently brewing in the Hindi heartland of India which has shocked the walls of political analysis, creating a scene of dissent like no other we have witnessed in the near past in the albeit revolutionary history of this country. True to the roots of political theory, this particular revolution is indeed anarchical with hordes of common citizens taking out ideological rallies, marches, public meetings, threatening to topple the government formed by the Bharatiya Janata Party elected with popular votes in 2014 if the demands are not met before the General Elections in 2019. But what is more intimidating than the state of chaos is the demand itself, which at the same time threatens both the secular and judicial fabric of this country and was an integral part of BJP’s election mandate in 2014 and has been effectively used by BJP firebrands like Yogi Adityanath, Sambit Patra and Athawale among many others to win state and panchayat elections thereafter. A scenario of what we call negative anarchyto quote David Wieck, which in the place of bringing reforms will bring more chaos in the electoral politics of India on the lines of religion and community. The demand as we all would have guessed by now is that for a controversial Ram Mandir in Ayodha whose fate after the three judge Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court on September 2010 and Supreme Court Judgement on May 2011 has been sealed to be decided somewhere in the early to mid-2019 by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India (Rajgopal 2017). In the middle of the entire prospect however is the leash of BJP’s sustenance and its fate in the 2019 General Elections who seemed to have lost the charm against its supporters, clearly visible in the post assembly polls in Chattishgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan (their three main strong hold) where political analysts observed that the dissent among staunch Hindutva supporters over the inability of Modi led BJP government to fulfill its prospect to bring forth an ordinance over construction of Ram Temple in the controversial land of Ayodhya is the reason to blame rather than speculated anti- incumbency. Ram Mandir as an electoral prospect has long before in the past been a toxic agenda to pursue by political competitors, not to mention that BJP’s strongest opponent and the party to play the secular card, the Congress under Rajiv Gandhi pursued a similar agenda in 1989 in the then Faizabad surprisingly backed by VHP only to win 15 out of 85 seats compared to 82 in 1984 (Samanta 2018). Right now, quite similarly to the fate experienced by Congress in 1989 in Uttar Pradesh, the electoral prospect of a Ram Mandir which opened up a massive religious and caste vote bank based on Hindutva Ideology by dubiously portraying Hindus to be religiously and socially vulnerable in comparison to the Islam dominant history and culture in India for BJP in 2014 is acting as a suicidal guillotine for itself because of its non-competence in an ordinance. Not to forget that it was the same electoral promise that also played a massive role in cutting out Congress from the central helm in 2014. It is the French revolution re-incarnated as struggle for Ram Mandir where BJP has become Robespierre. The incident in Babri Masjid and Godhra riots claim to be the closest India can get to create a permanent division between Hindus and Muslims, in fact these sour events have created a bitterness among the two most dominant religion in this country leading to minor scuffle every now and then. Now the prospect of unrest among Hindu factions again to build a Ram Mandir threatens to open the similar scar and most fearfully by ignoring the order of law in this country. The call for action against BJP by Hindutva factions, self-styled Godmen and seers have time and again called for yet another march to Ayodhya to seize the land and harm anyone who comes their way, defying the Supreme Court is the most horrendous state of chaos we can expect. Added with the inability of a party to act against its vote bank for upholding the judiciary in the fear of getting out of power and is also the closest to negative anarchy India can get where the supporters of Hindutva ideology have taken ideological arms against a non-competent government but only to further burn the secular, judicial and constitutional fabric of this nation. At the end, it won’t be unsafe to preach that Indian politics right now sits on the biggest and the most sensitive religious rifts in a decade, ignored by the government and the opposition alike for the prospect of vote bank going against the rules mentioned in People’s Representation Bill (Amendment and Validation) Bill, 2013. The current declaration of no early ordinance for the temple by the Prime Minister, followed by delayed judgements of the Supreme Court combined with the hardcore un-replaceable Hindutva ideology preached by BJP since 2014 which has helped score hundreds of small scale riots, lynchings, vandalism of shared Indian history in the name of Islamophobia in recent times has been and will always be a problem to the ordinary citizens of India where some religiously motivated groups take up arms against each other and will ask for allegiance from their neutral brother under the ambit of soft power “If you are not with us, you are against us” to spread hate speech, atrocities and all for the name of a disputed temple. As once it was rightly said, the poll loss of BJP and the current ideology pursued by Congress in Gujarat is not a pathbreaking moment for Indian secularism, in fact it correctly points out that it is in danger due to lawlessness and falsified ideologies.

  • SHRI RAM COLLEGE of COMMERCE Sir Shri Ram (1884-1963)
    st Annual 91Report 2016-17 SHRI RAM COLLEGE OF COMMERCE Sir Shri Ram (1884-1963) “Education is the key which is going to unlock the door to our greatness...” Lala Shri Ram, the enigmatic visionary behind the institution, was born on April 27, 1884. The first son of Madan Mohan Lal and Chando Devi, Lala Shri Ram completed his education in Delhi. In 1909, the 25 years old Lala Shri Ram joined DCM. He possessed an analytical mind, an infinite capacity for work and a knack for human relations. During his life, Lala Shri Ram's main emphasis was on vocational, technical and women's education. As far back in 1920, he had decided to conduct the first experiment in vocation-oriented education by founding the Commercial Education Trust. The first school taken over by Commercial Education Trust was the Commercial High School. Commercial High School was raised in 1926 to the standard of an Intermediate College, in 1930 to a degree college and in 1934 to a post-graduate College. In 1942, Lala Shri Ram became the Chairman of the Governing Body of the College. By the year 1948, although comparatively young among the colleges of Delhi University, the Commercial College had the maximum enrolment possible under the University rules. In 1949, it was proposed to rename the College as 'Shri Ram College of Commerce' but it took two years to implement it due to the reticence of Lala Shri Ram. Lala Shri Ram's association with the College continued till 1962, when because of failing health, he resigned.
