⚠️ THE CONTRADICTION THAT EXPOSES EVERYTHING
Nationalism is supposed to be moral.
Principled.
Consistent.
But what happens when nationalism is enforced on cricketers, while billion-dollar corporations quietly do business with the very country being “boycotted”?
That contradiction sits at the heart of the BJP’s latest performance — where symbolic punishment is loud, profitable silence is convenient, and Hindu suffering becomes a political prop rather than a policy concern.
1️⃣ SYMBOLIC PUNISHMENT: MUSTAFIZUR AND THE IPL MESSAGE
The bjp ecosystem cheered when Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman was kept out of the IPL, projecting it as retaliation for the alleged persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh.
The message was clear and emotionally charged:
“We will punish Bangladesh.”
But punishment, it turns out, has clear class limits.
2️⃣ THE OTHER REALITY: adani POWERING BANGLADESH
While outrage dominated social media, something far more consequential was happening quietly.
Adani Power — part of the Adani Group — supplied around 10% of Bangladesh’s electricity in january 2026, a record high.
Let that sit for a moment.
Cricketers are banned
Hashtags trend
Moral lectures are delivered
Meanwhile, a Modi-aligned conglomerate is literally powering Bangladesh’s economy.
3️⃣ SO NATIONALISM IS ONLY FOR TWEETS?
This raises the question the government refuses to answer:
If bangladesh is an enemy nation,
Why are corporate contracts untouched?
Why is electricity flowing uninterrupted?
Why is profit immune to patriotism?
Apparently:
Nationalism applies to culture
Nationalism applies to sport
Nationalism applies to poor individuals
But never to billion-dollar business interests.
4️⃣ HINDU SUFFERING AS A POLITICAL TOOL
According to reported figures, since August:
23 Hindus killed
152 temples attacked in Bangladesh
These are serious, horrifying numbers.
But look at how they are used:
Not to push diplomatic pressure
Not to impose economic consequences
Not to suspend corporate ties
Instead, they are weaponised for:
Electoral messaging
Social media outrage
Television theatrics
Justice is absent.
Action is selective.
5️⃣ TRANSACTIONAL OPPORTUNISM IN SAFFRON
This is not ideological nationalism.
This is transactional opportunism wearing a saffron mask.
The formula is simple:
Moral outrage when there’s no money involved
Strategic silence when profits are at stake
Cricketers can be sacrificed.
Corporations cannot.
That’s not patriotism.
That’s corporate risk management.
6️⃣ MODI’S government AND THE MORAL CONTRADICTION
Under Narendra Modi, Hindu identity is repeatedly invoked as sacred and non-negotiable.
Yet when Hindu lives are allegedly endangered across the border:
No corporate boycott
No power cutoff
No economic retaliation
Instead, business continues — smoothly, profitably, quietly.
Which leads to an unavoidable conclusion:
Hindu lives are emotionally valuable, but not economically decisive.
7️⃣ THE QUESTION THAT BREAKS THE NARRATIVE
Here’s the question no bjp spokesperson will answer honestly:
If bangladesh is truly the enemy, why is a Modi-aligned conglomerate powering its economy?
You cannot have:
Moral absolutism for votes
Moral flexibility for profits
At least, not without being exposed.
🧨 FINAL VERDICT: NATIONALISM WITH A PRICE TAG
This isn’t foreign policy.
This isn’t moral leadership.
This is a two-tier nationalism:
One for public consumption
One for corporate boardrooms
Hindu suffering becomes a slogan.
Corporate profit becomes policy.
And the price of this nationalism?
It’s not written in blood or belief.
It’s written in Adani’s profit margins.
