New Delhi, May 19: “TERMITES: How the Left is Destroying the World through Subversion” A book by Abhijit Joag explores the destructive impact of leftist movements on society, particularly focusing on the perversion of social justice ideals and the subversion of cultural institutions.
It delves into the tactics of neo-Marxism, especially in its manifestation as Wokeism.
Sudhanshu Trivedi chief guest of the program said that leftism is not just like a termite but also like a drug that has addicted three generations. It remains trapped in its own world and refuses to come out. Our fight is against this ideology. Leftism is like a camouflage that has entrenched itself in the system since the 1970s.
It first instills self-deprecation in society, followed by dissent and rebellion. However, this illusion is now shattering, and the truth is coming out, as seen in cases like Ram Mandir and Ram Setu. Modern tools such as AI and other advanced equipment will prove to be effective weapons in this battle.
Suruchi Prakashan President Rajeev Tuli remarked that leftists often say that no matter who holds power, the system belongs to them. Even though they might not be in power now, they still hold a stronghold within the system.
Editor of Panchjanya, Hitesh Shankar, added that wherever this ideology has spread, it has devoured the host country like termites. It’s an ideology that speaks of democracy while simultaneously suppressing it through tyranny and glorifying violent histories.
Sunil Deodhar, former BJP National Secretary and founder of My Home India, today expressed deep concerns about the impact of leftist ideologies in India. He highlighted the history of leftism being filled with anarchy, exploitation, and oppression, citing states like West Bengal, Tripura, and Kerala as examples of the dark chapters of leftist rule.
“Leftist ideologies, despite their promise of social welfare and equality, have consistently led to chaos, corruption, and human rights abuses in states where they have been in power,” Deodhar said. “The people of India deserve better than the destructive policies and ideologies that have failed to deliver on their promises.”
Deodhar’s comments come amidst growing concerns about the influence of leftist ideologies in Indian politics and society. He emphasized the need for a nuanced discussion about the impact of these ideologies and the importance of promoting policies that prioritize development, stability, and individual freedoms.
The event served as a platform to discuss the persistent influence of leftist ideologies and the way forward to counteract their impact on society. With the book’s success, having sold out 10 editions of its Marathi version, the conversation is set to continue.
