Bollywood actress Nushrat Bharucha is being brutally trolled for a video she posted on her social media accounts. It’s a fairly normal video in which she talks about her harrowing experience as she got stuck in her hotel room during the war in Israel and had to take shelter in underground bunkers. She then says that once she got back to Bharat and woke up in her own room and could hear no sounds of bombs, she realized how fortunate she was to be living in a country like India.
Nushrat Bharucha then thanks the government of Bharat for ensuring her safety during such turbulent times, and she also thanks the government of Israel and the Israeli officials. Finally, she extends her prayers and wishes to people still stuck in the war and hopes for a peaceful resolution of the conflict soon.
This seems like a fairly usual video posted by someone who has just escaped a war zone and they are thankful to be alive. At best, one would expect that any comments to this video would be of her fans or ordinary Indian citizens expressing happiness that she came home safe, and would extend their good wishes. Why would Nushrat Bharucha be trolled for posting a heartfelt video where she talks about her personal experience of coming home safely after being stranded in a war zone? But the social media trolls are running another narrative altogether. Members of a certain community can be seen writing comments like just see the plight of Palestinian people, you should have spoken something on that too.
“What about innocent Muslim there… they helped you out because you are Indian n celebrity”, “ She didn’t utter a word of condolence for those dead in the war or even a prayer for the people who are living in the war torn Palestine”, “ Free Palestine”, “ We are only with the Muslims of Palestine”, I’m sorry for every day every years that I was your fans but today I see your real face and I unfollow you, FREE PALESTINE”, “Your country is doing the same in Kashmir. That’s why you feel sympathy for Israel.
Israel killing innocent people isn’t okay. Please have a little decency to condemn war crimes at both sides”, these are just a few hateful comments that the Bollywood actress received on her insta account. These are just a few examples. Her insta timeline is full of such and even worse comments shaming her for not talking about the supposed rights of Palestinian people and threatening to unfollow her. Nushrat Bharucha’s X account also has the same video and you can see the same kind of hateful comments there as well. She has also put out a written post that sums up in text whatever she said in the video. The post is also receiving brutal comments from trolls.
Since when did it become a crime to praise your own government and thank them for getting your safe back home from a war zone? But in woke land, everything is possible. Just because Nushrat Bharucha belongs to a Muslim community, the fanatics, and the woke lobby expect her to repeat the woke script like a zombie, talk about the rights of Palestinians, call Hamas an activist, blame Israel for the sufferings of Palestinians, justify the way Hamas treated innocent Israelis, and finally bitch about the Indian government.
But Nushrat Bharucha didn’t adhere to the woke script and that’s why the woke lobby and the fanatics are attacking her. What is even more shocking is that one cannot see a single well-known Bollywood celebrity coming to Nushrat Bharucha’s rescue and countering the trolls.
The woke Bollywood brigade is either silent or busy shedding tears for activist Hamas. A cursory look at Swara Bhaskar’s X account would tell you that all she has been doing for the past couple of days is putting out posts trying to justify Hamas and shame Israel and the Bharatiya government. Her timeline is full of shameless and desperate posts trying to justify the barbaric behavior of Hamas by talking about the “historical injustices” and all.
If someone who doesn’t know that she is a Bollywood actress scrolls through her timeline, they would surely think Swara Bhaskar does activism for a career. Contrast this with someone like Nushrat Bharucha who is not an actress activist. She quietly does her work and is apolitical. When she makes a heartfelt video about her sufferings while she was stuck in Israel and thanks her country for coming to her rescue, the woke lobby can’t digest that. Nushrat Bharucha is a Muslim and a Muslim singing paeans of praise for Prime Minister Modi can’t be possible. It would upset the narrative. Therefore, she needs to be admonished and silenced.
For all the trolls that accuse Nushrat Bharucha of being insensitive and not talking about the sufferings of the Palestinian people, she does say in the video that she is praying for all those who are suffering and wishes peaceful resolution of this conflict soon. But the trolls are not impressed. It’s not enough that she wants all suffering to end, she should have specifically asked for the suffering of Palestinian people to end because they are Muslims and shamed the people of Israel because they are not Muslims. Such is the logic of wokes and fanatics.
While international celebrities like Gal Gadot, Natalie Portman, Mark Ruffalo, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Madonna have condemned the deadly attacks and gruesome violence inflicted by Hamas on innocent Israeli citizens, Swara Bhaskar not only glorifies Hamas but also trolls people who are shocked at Hamas attacks. According to her social media posts, she thinks that the shock and horror of people at Hamas’ attacks on Israel seems a bit hypocritical. In a scenario like this, condemning all kinds of violence would be the obvious response for someone who doesn’t want to categorically support Israel. But trolling people who have spoken against gruesome attacks on Israel in which innocent children have been burnt alive and beheaded calls for another level of shamelessness altogether.
It’s ironic that while both Christian and Islamic extremists are anti-semitic and the far—left joins their propaganda, it’s the Hindus who are slandered for apparently being “pro-Nazi” through fake Swastika association. The Nazi use of Swastika is just coincidental but the far left has ceased on this to create vicious propaganda against Hindus and to showcase apparent parallels between Hindu nationalism and the hateful Nazi ideology.
Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, second sarsanghchalak ( the main guide of an association ) of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh(RSS) from 1940 to 1973 has been branded as an admirer and follower of Adolf Hitler by the leftish lobby. The allegations of the far left against Golwalkar are solely based on a couple of lines from his first book, We.
Our Nationhood Defined, two quotations to be precise where he talks about the need for the creation of a Hindu nation where others may stay in the country, “wholly subordinated to the Hindu Nation, claiming nothing, deserving no privileges”.
In the other controversial quote from this book, Golwalkar talks about to what extreme extent did Germany go to preserve “the purity of the Race and its culture” and then he goes on to say that Bharat could learn a lesson from Germany. Now these two quotations, while certainly open to criticism, are by no means asking for the annihilation of minorities or suggesting that Bharat should exterminate minorities like Germany exterminated Jews.
To single out these two quotes from an entire book and use them out of context to create propaganda against RSS is anything but good scholarship. A writer’s ideology has to be looked at in the context of their entire life trajectory. The huge corpus of Golwalkar’s writings, interview transcripts, and public statements during his position as the Head of the RSS gives us absolutely no inkling of his apparent sympathies for Hitler.
But then this is the typical tendency of the left-liberal cabal – to build fictitious narratives around the Bharatiya nationalist leaders while they themselves openly indulge in anti-Semitism and Hindu hatred.
