The Hindutva right-wing groups ( BJP, RSS etc ) in India and their many supporters in the visual and print media, on Twitter and on various websites are fond of assigning the phrase "anti-national" and so demonizing certain groups who either revolt against the right-wingers or don't fit into the category of Indians as understood by the Hindutvadis. Such groups include Muslims, Dalits, Christians, Socialists / Communists, Liberals, Centrists and recently the Sikh and other farmers protesting in Delhi.

But who is the real anti-national ? Is it the micro-finance company and the mahajan who force the farmer to commit suicide ? Is it the hospital which allowed the actor Ashiesh Roy to die of kidney ailment because he couldn't pay the treatment fees they demanded ? Is it the coaching center in Kota and the college which force students to commit suicide ? Is it the Maneka Gandhi adoring woman in my neighborhood who used to daily prepare special rice for the stray dogs and deliver it to them on her scooter while millions of humans in the country go hungry ? Is it Mukesh Ambani who built an obscene 27-storey for his family of four while millions are homeless or live in slums ? Is it Yogi Adityanath and Sadhvi Pragya who quote fondly from the Manusmriti and want to make it the Constitution ? Is it the Tablighi Jamaatis in IBM-India who instead of agitating for an employee union for the benefit of all employees instead agitate selfishly for prayer place and time within the office ? Is it some self-styled moral police who prevent inter-faith marriages from happening ? Is it the film maker Ashoke Pandit who makes films against the Naxalites without thinking of the unjust feudalism in Naxalbari which led to the Naxal uprising ? Is it various aalims and babas who spread superstition and child sacrifice in the society in 2021 instead of the country having a settlement on Mars given its big industrial base and supposedly talented engineers ? Is it the "defense" minister who has made the Indian military to become the second-largest importer of armaments in the world while millions of civilians lead a miserable life because of lack of money ? Is it some idiot at the top who spends resources on needless purchases and projects while millions of citizens lack money and so lead a miserable life ? is it the maintainers of the entire political, social and economic system of India which allows these wrong things ? So who is the anti-national ?

As long as we continue seeing things in black and white we will continue having this debate without making much headway.

For me a nation is a social entity first. A political machinery is required to administer it, but it is not what defines the nation.

People who lie are anti-nationals. If you distort history, no matter if you are a sanghi, a congressi, communist or liberal, you are a traitor. People need to know the truth. All the time. No matter how uncomfortable it is. Everyone has this responsibility, but more so those who have the most ability to influence.

Corrupt people are anti-national. Of any religion or race.

People who jeopardise sovereignty of their citizens are anti-national. Of any religion or race. Without a sovereign state there is no freedom for the people and without freedom there is no life.

People who incite violence against fellow citizens, casually or actively, are anti-nationals. Of any religion or race. Because people are the nation.

People who commit serious offences (such as murder, rape, robbery, even white collar crimes) are anti nationals. Of any religion or race. Because every time the law is broken, someone else's right is taken away. People who take away a fellow citizen's rights are anti-nationals.

A natural question is who decides on all the above? A strong judicial system is the most important part of a society that wants to call itself free. In India often justice is suspended or arrives too late. Regardless, its failures do not mean that the institution itself is meaningless.

So does it mean that every judgement of a court will henceforth pronounce 'patriot' or 'traitor' instead of 'guilty' or 'not guilty'? No. When there are so many elements that go into defining what a nation is, how can anti national be a narrow definition?

My point is that there are many things that make a nation weak. The lowest hanging fruit is obviously on the 'sleeping with the enemy' branch and gets the most attention. External threats are the easiest to identify. But who will identify the termites that are eating away at the core.

Muslims are 100% anti national and seculars are 50% anti national.
