Congress Always Plays the Emotional Card; Because We Value Our Sacrifices.

Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.

Since, I become old enough to join the multitude of specialist political commentary where it matters i.e not in the TV studio, I have heard friends saying, Congress wins by masterful plucking of the emotional chord of the Gullible Indian Citizens.  

Yes, their charge is that the martyrdom of Mahatma, Indira and Rajeev are actually JUSTIFIABLE events as the CONSEQUENCE of their DEED. So, they do not have the right to be called as Martyrs. 

That is the basis of the claim that, "Congress Always Plays the Emotional Card."

But, they forget, that EMOTION doe not flow and wet in a vacuum. It needs those feel it. It operates if there are real people involved. 

Can anybody deny in their right sense of mind that a real human being called Godse killed a real Mahatma? 

No. So, there is bound to be a play of emotion who thinks the killing was the MOST heinous attempt of Violence over the APOSTLE of Non-Violence. 

Clearly, Violent force has no human emotion to deal with as it operated against the fundamentals of Humanity, for me it is, Natural Continuity of LIFE. 

But the killer and his growing supporters has many JUSTIFICATIONS too. Because, they killed or they want to kill more. :)  

Can anybody deny in their right sense of mind that two real human beings deployed to Guard the PM of INDIA killed a real PM i.e. Indira? 

No, so there is bound to be a surge of emotion among those who believes in Constitution rather than Religious ANARCHY. Because it is a democracy, we could test the emotional quotient time and time again. A nationalist is supposed to be emotional about the UNITY & Integrity of its nation and that is natural. 

But, the Violent force could not understand what is important; an emotion of a NATION or the emotion few hundred Terrorists hiding behind RELIGION? They have a narrow definition of EMOTIONAL bond; for them NATION emerges from RELIGION. India has too many RELIGIONS to practice that; here INDIA as a NATION embraces tens of RELIGIONS. 

Can anybody deny in their right sense of mind that an LTTE teen suicide bomber, a real human being, killed another real Ex-PM i.e. Rajeev? 

These killings of PM or Ex-PM while safeguarding the national mission statement of preserving its unity and integrity at any cost do affects real Nationalists. And it is Emotion. 

If nation ca not EMOTIONALLY detach such EVENETS, how can their near and dear ones who have the KNOWLEDGE of what these FALLEN HEROS have done, and so DESIRE to chart their path; the path of NATIONALISTIC thinking. 

We EMOTIONAL do not call ourselves HINDU NATIONALIST or MUSLIM NATIONALIST; we are NATIONALISTS. WE draw our emotional inspiration from the countless sacrifices since 1857 till today. We know RSS and its affiliates have no SACRIFICE to make to feel emotional about anything. 

So, do not deride this Emotional bond with our motherland, because we believe without emotion there is no life.
