BHAKTI OR HERO WORSHIP IS A SURE ROAD TO DEGRADATION TO EVENTUAL DICTATORSHIP

"IN POLITICS BHAKTI OR HERO WORSHIP IS A SURE ROAD TO DEGRADATION TO EVENTUAL DICTATORSHIP " DR.B.R.AMBEDKAR .
"BHAKTI WAS A PART OF INDIAS' CULTURE AND RELIGION FOR ITS'CAPACITY TO BE THE ROAD TO SALVATION FOR MANY."
It was on November 25th ,1941 ,Dr.Bhim Rao AMBEDKAR sounded three warnings for the emergent Republic of India ,of which the second is most pertinent in the context being discussed in this brief.
He quoted John Stuart Mill arguing that lawmakers and people must not "lay their liberties at the feet of even a great man ,or to trust him with power which enables him to subvert their institutions ."
AMBEDKAR read out the words of another great patriot ,the Irish leader Daniel O'Connel:"No man can be grateful at the cost of his honour,no woman can be grateful at the cost of her chastity and no nation can be grateful at the cost of its
Liberty ."
He recalled that Bhakti was part of INDIAS' culture and religion for its capacity to be the road to salvation for many .In politic Bhakti or hero worship is a sure road to degradation and to eventful dictatorship.#BJP in general , it's' Modi ,Modi worshipers in parliament recently in particular ,may take note of this warning that they have foregone their liberty and honour.
The central Minister , scores of them have fallen in this trap.#BJP is now worst than any other party in India and its hero #Narendra Modi has truly become a genuine dictator.
