Bruyat Satyam Apriyam: Rewriting Inconvenient Narratives

The pattern has become unmistakably clear. So has the motive. The opposition, having tasted blood in Gujarat, now reeks of desperation. Their one-point agenda is to derail India’s growth story—no matter the cost. The British may have invented “Divide and Rule”, but the Congress turned it into an art form. While the country marches ahead under the leadership of Narendra Modi, the Congress ecosystem would rather pull us back into the darkness of casteism, communalism, and chaos. Their aim? To keep India fractured, resentful, and controllable.
The recent outburst of violence across Maharashtra is not a spontaneous protest but a meticulously crafted strategy. Aided by their media cronies and street-level stooges, the Congress party is weaponising fault lines, distorting history, and unleashing dangerous falsehoods. Their goal is neither justice nor upliftment; their sole objective is power—acquired not by progress, but by perpetuating division.
PREFACE – A Necessary Discomfort: Being born in an upper caste does still carry privilege. That is a truth no honest person will deny. But it is equally true that the misuse of historical oppression to fuel contemporary hate is not just dishonest—it’s destructive. There is a vast difference between acknowledging injustice and weaponising it.
It is written in our Shastras:
“Satyam bruyat, priyam bruyat, na bruyat satyam apriyam.”
“Speak the truth, speak the pleasant, but do not speak the unpleasant truth.”
But times have changed. Today, our survival as a united nation demands the unpleasant truth be spoken—loudly and unapologetically. It is time to reject feel-good lies and embrace uncomfortable facts. The truth may be bitter, but swallowing it is necessary. Silence in the face of distortion is complicity. Political correctness in the face of lies is cowardice.
This article is not an apology for the atrocities committed against Dalits in history. Nor is it a whitewash of present-day discrimination where it still exists. But what it refuses to accept is the cynical distortion of history and the hijacking of genuine grievances to advance a seditious political agenda.
APRIYAM SATYAM – The Politics of Manufactured Myths: India suffers from a chronic illness—historical amnesia. We forget too easily. And this forgetfulness becomes fertile ground for the propagation of lies. The intellectually bankrupt Congress party, the grievance-peddling NGOs, and their media lapdogs understand this well. And they exploit it masterfully.
Take the Bhima-Koregaon episode. It is now paraded as a Dalit uprising against upper caste oppression. But was it really? A closer, honest look tells a different story. The soldiers on both sides fought for their respective masters—Peshwas on one side, British on the other. There was no ideological war. No anti-caste movement. No revolution.
And yet, the Congress and its pet intellectuals have repackaged it into a symbol of resistance. Why? Because myths are useful. Myths energize mobs. Myths can be twisted to ignite outrage. And outrage, when channelled properly, can deliver political dividends.
Dr. Ambedkar may have interpreted the battle as a symbolic struggle, but in the hands of today’s caste-war profiteers, that symbol has become a weapon to incite violence. It is not history they are preserving—it is hate they are cultivating.
The so-called Dalit resurgence being celebrated around Bhima-Koregaon is not about empowerment. It is about revenge. It is not about equality. It is about political blackmail. And this poisonous myth-building is not only intellectually dishonest—it is a threat to the very fabric of national unity.
ELGAAR PARISHAD – A Scripted Carnival of Sedition: In a country where the Left-liberal cabal controls the microphone, reality is what they say it is. The Elgaar Parishad was not an event. It was a performance. A cynical, well-funded, pre-planned performance designed to stir ancient resentments and package them as modern rebellion.
Hosted at Shaniwar Wada—a deliberate choice meant to provoke—this congregation of India-haters and caste merchants included names that are now depressingly familiar: Umar Khalid, the poster boy of sedition; Jignesh Mevani, the self-appointed messiah of Dalits; Soni Sori, whose activism reeks of Naxalite sympathies; and Vinay Ratan Singh of the Bhim Army. What brought them together? Not justice. Not reform. Certainly not love for India. What united them was a common contempt—for India’s unity, for Modi’s leadership, and for the idea of a rising, aspirational Bharat.
This wasn’t a protest. It was a war cry. And the violence that erupted shortly after in Bhima-Koregaon was not a coincidence—it was a consequence.
The real tragedy? These purveyors of division are not fringe anymore. They are the new face of the Congress party’s ground game. Where once it deployed slogans, today it deploys mobs. Where once it argued, today it incites. The Congress has outsourced its political muscle to caste-warriors, radical NGOs, and urban Naxals—while its media stooges cheer them on as freedom fighters.
THE GRAND STRATEGY – Divide by Caste, Win by Default: Let us not be naïve. What we are witnessing is not just caste mobilisation—it is a civil war in slow motion. From the Patidar agitation in Gujarat to the Jat protests in Haryana, from Lingayats in Karnataka to now Dalits in Maharashtra—this is not coincidence. This is a blueprint.
Every protest is engineered. Every identity conflict is inflamed. Every social fracture is turned into a political trench. The Congress, unable to take on Modi through ideas or performance, has resorted to the oldest and dirtiest trick in the book: divide the people, and loot the power. Their message is simple: if Modi unites, we will divide. If Modi builds, we will burn. If Modi strengthens the nation, we will bleed it from within. They don’t care if India burns—as long as Modi gets blamed for the smoke.
And this isn’t just speculation. As MoS Kiren Rijiju bluntly put it:
“निशाने पर न ब्राह्मण है, न मराठा है, न राजपूत है, न गुर्जर है, न दलित है, न पिछड़े है। जगह के हिसाब से जातियां बदलेगी, क्योंकि निशाने पर भारत है।”
(“Brahmin, Maratha, Rajput, Gujjar, Dalit, OBCs—these are not the real targets. The real target is India itself.”)
CONCLUSION – The Battle Ahead: Make no mistake. Social harmony does not fall from the sky. It must be forged, defended, and reaffirmed every day. The 2019 elections are not just about governance. They are a referendum on the idea of India. And that war is still on. The Congress and its parasitic allies—urban Naxals, caste warlords, fake intellectuals, and dishonest journalists—will continue to vomit lies. They will continue to claim moral superiority while indulging in political depravity. They will exploit every Dalit, every tribal, every minority community not to empower them—but to enslave them politically. Jignesh Mevani, Hardik Patel, Umar Khalid, Kanhaiya Kumar—these are not activists. They are hired guns. Mercenaries in an ideological war against Bharat. And the Congress party, too impotent to fight clean, has chosen to fight dirty—using these proxies to sow division and reap votes.
But India is not sleeping anymore.
A new India is rising—young, aspirational, impatient. It does not want caste labels. It wants jobs, growth, dignity, and national pride. It does not want to be manipulated by colonial-era tactics. It wants to move beyond the shackles of caste-based politics. The Congress may shout louder, lie harder, and incite deeper. But the tide is turning. Cynical identity politics is losing its appeal. The caste card is losing its magic.
Because the truth is this: India is done being blackmailed. And no matter how hard the Congress and its ecosystem try, they cannot stop an idea whose time has come. The India of tomorrow will not be divided. It will be united—by progress, not by prejudice. And until that India arrives, we must continue to speak—not just the truth, but the unpleasant truth. Because only when we dare to say “Bruyat Satyam Apriyam” can we hope to defeat the forces that wish to tear us apart.
