CounterCurrents: Baba Ramdev Launches ‘Security’ Business: Should We Be Worried?




Dear Friend,

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, who once threatened to behead hundreds of thousands of Muslims, has announced that he will start a  'security' company.    His company officials has said that the security company will train employees in ‘Shastra and Shstra’ (religious and armed training) and they will be prepared to die for the country. These aims are beyond the scope of a mere security company. The statements coming from Baba Ramdev camp sounds like they are preparing to launch a parallel mercenary army. The signs are ominous. Incidentally, the Indian media is completely silent about this dangerous development. Either they don't understand the implications, or they are deliberately keeping silent. 

K.P Sasi's cartoon series "India Now" continues. 

In Solidarity

Would you like to see nationalistic, ‘patriotic’, militarily trained Parakram Surakshak’s guarding your businesses and housing complexes? I would be worried. To conclude, let me put a speculative question. How would these trained Parakram Surakshak’s behave in a communal riot, which is not infrequent in India?
