It is the rust within which kills the iron.
Has BigTech become too big for Trump to manage. What if they revolt ?
Iran war will not end in a hurry because America was never a true democracy. It is a rigged democracy with the President as a puppet of the deep state. It doesn’t matter who is the President. Or if they have one at all.
The same is true of American large corporations. The so-called CEO is titular. Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella etc are kind of toothless sacrificial dispensibles whose job is face regulators and humour investors. They don’t actually run anything.
The Jews run America and most of the Global North. So Israel is not an American colony. More the other way around.
India in the other hand will never have a long drawn war. Because it is a true democracy without any deep state controlling the government.
Most political scientists believed democracy could not survive in a poor, diverse, post-colonial country. India proved them wrong.
In Dharma Democracy, sociologist Salvatore Babones makes a provocative argument: India is the greatest democratic success story of the post-colonial world.
Since 1947, while many newly independent nations slipped into military rule or one-party states, India maintained competitive elections, peaceful transfers of power, and a functioning constitutional system.
India’s democracy did not survive because it copied Western liberal models. It survived because it was rooted in a much older civilisational idea — dharma.
Dharma is not about rights.
It is about duty, responsibility, and right conduct.
In Babones’ view, Indian democracy works because citizens, leaders, and institutions are embedded in a culture that emphasises obligation to society and nation.
Western analysts often try to judge India using frameworks built for Europe and America. Similarly the Americans try to judge the Shias from an American lens. These don’t work/
But India may represent a different model of democracy altogether — one where civilisational values sustain political institutions. And inspite of trying very hard, no other country could emulate it right. Not even UK. UK could not even continue to be independent and got reduced to being an American colony.
The real question is not whether India fits Western definitions of democracy. Democracy is dead in the Western world.
The real question is whether the world needs to start understanding democracy through the Indian lens. And implementing it in their home country.
They think they will save the world.
When the real need is to save themselves.
From the devil within.
And from their own BigTech which is now too big to even bother about them. For example after Anthropic asked the U.S. Govt to take a walk, OpenAI’s robotics chief just quit. Kalinowski’s departure highlights the growing friction within the tech industry regarding the rapid integration of advanced AI into U.S. military operations.
What if BigTech were to revolt ???
