The Gujarat Gavelkind: Being Parochial, Being Partisan?

Posted on 13th November, 2024 (GMT 11:57 hrs)

ABSTRACT

This blog post from OBMA critiques the BJP’s alleged “Gujarat-centric” favouritism, discussing the state’s influence in judicial and economic matters, especially in cases like the DHFL scam involving prominent Gujaratis in positions of judicial authority. It points to instances of Gujarat singlehandedly predominating the list of superrich Wilful Defaulters, Gujarati Companies donating astronomical figures through the opaque electoral bonds, tax benefits specific to Gujarat’s Hindu Undivided Families (HUF) system, and recent investment redirections that seems to prioritize Gujarat at the expense of other states. The post argues that these practices uses politically filtered terminologies such as “Gujarat Model” and “Gujarat Pride” to favour Gujarat’s elites, thereby aligning with BJP’s broader Hindutva and crony corporatist agendas, raising concerns over equitable and inclusive governance in India.

Introduction

While exploring the internet for seeking information on the hearings, proceedings, and arguments related to the ongoing DHFL Scam cases at the Supreme Court of India, we came to discover an intriguing, nearly peculiar pattern. Although it may not be entirely “peculiar,” it allows us to draw certain limited, premise-supported generalizations (rather than hasty oversimplifications) about a specific aspect of the operations of the current ruling party in India, the BJP.

This blog post of ours constitutes a somewhat unexpected turning point. The regular readers of our blog posts, reports, articles and paper-letters would never have expected something like the following from the likes of us!

Hence, before going into the subject-matter, there needs to be A NOTE OF CAUTION, I.E., A DISCLAIMER OF SORTS:

The paragraphs composed below in no way promote parochialism or narrow-minded chauvinism in any form. OBMA always stands for the partyless democracy that is free from all discriminatory considerations involving the imposed identities of economic class, national borders, statist formations, religious affiliations, caste, race/colour, creed, ethnicity, gender and so on.

  Dear Mr. Ajay Piramal, I Wanna Be Arrested! Dear Mr. Ajay Piramal, I Wanna Be Arrested! Posted on 28/11/2023 (GMT 17: 33 hrs) Dear Mr. Piramal, In continuation to two of my  earlier letters⤡   ⤡  to you, I am presenting the following open letter with you (yet again) being my addressee. The legal documents (see  appendix ) show that I have allegedly done something that has hampered your business and “goodwill”. However, I, along with nearly 2 lakh NCD and FD Holders of the DHFL, have lost our hard-earned money due to your “excellent” performance in the bidding of the DHFL. We have suffered a lot for your “ vaisnava -like performance”, being a perfect disciple of  Radhanath Swami⤡   ⤡ . Therefore, I, as a defamator and contemptor, personally wish to be arrested and fined for 2000 rupees. However, I do not need the “hygienic, well-organized” system in the “reformatory” as earlier desired by Mr. Vijay Mallya: Indian jails over-crowded with poor hygiene: Mallya’s defence VIEW HERE ⤡  (As
