“PM Modi for India” and “Rajinikanth for Tamil Nadu” may have worked!
From 2017 to 2020, I defended Superstar Rajinikanth relentlessly because I was deeply fascinated by his concept of “Spiritual Politics”.
It sounded unique, refreshing, and the complete antithesis of the Dravidian brand of politics that has dominated Tamil Nadu since 1967.
It was never hero worship. It was ideology worship.
Because,
Spirituality is the very essence of Hindu Dharma.
Spirituality crushes ego.
Spirituality does not allow you to become corrupt.
Spirituality stops you from abusing others.
Spirituality acts as an impedance against anger, arrogance, and hatred.
Spirituality gradually transforms you into a better human being day by day.
For the very first time, I genuinely felt that Tamil Nadu perhaps deserved liberation from decades of corrupt and sordid political and societal brainwashing.
But in life, more often than not, we experience the agony of seeing good things come to an abrupt end.
Rajinikanth’s political journey too came to an abrupt end due to few reasons known to us and perhaps many more known only to him.
But one thing is certain.
Based on the kind of political success
@actorvijay has eventually enjoyed, had
@rajinikanth launched his party and contested the 2021 elections, he could very well have swept the polls.
Sadly, by the time he himself realized it was too late.
@narendramodi for India and
@rajinikanth for Tamil Nadu may have worked!
