Despite the coming to power of a ‘Nationalist’ government, India continues to be full of anti-nationals. Government is so much struggling to build nationalism, but to little effect. Anti-nationals are everywhere. But there is nothing to worry for the nationalist government. They have a new solution at their hands in the form of ‘Nationalism Glasses’.

CCTV recently came out with a short video titled ‘Nationalism Glasses’ on the occasion of the Republic day. In this film, the protagonist by wearing the ‘Nationalist glasses’ acquires the ability to see nationalism everywhere day in and day out, in-house and out-house. This is a wonder glass, which can be used to make all the anti-nationals into nationalists. By wearing this glass, one can find ‘sanskar’ everywhere. Nationalism will be seen everywhere.

By wearing this glass – the acts which will appear nationalist would include: –

· Worshipping a cow

· Glorifying the Prime Minister – shouting Modi, Modi for everything

· Believing fake new without verifying

· Renaming streets with historical Muslim names with Hindu names

· Making hatred speeches

· Trolling a critic of the government and using abusing words

· Shouting slogans such as jai shriram and go to Pakistan

· Abusing an opposition leader

· Painting saffron color to all residential and official places

· Placing tanks in universities

· Giving hatred speeches against certain communities

· Forcibly marrying off those seen together on valentine’s day

· Attacking those consuming beef – either perceived or real

· Carrying out mass murders of minorities

· Glorifying schemes such as demonetization and GST without critically analyzing

· Making people to stand in long ATM que comparing them with solider in the border

· Forcing one to say Vandemataram and Bharat Mata ki jai and Pakistan murdabad

· Forcing people to believe that all Muslims are terrorists and all Christians are converters

· Making people believe that RSS terrorism is equivalent to nationalism

· Being a part of fake news spreading machinery

· Joining saffron IT cell

· Wearing khaki chaddi

· Believing stories of Hindu victimization and

· Trusting pseudo-science as miracles of cow urine and pushpaka viman.

Wearing a nationalist glass will make all these acts appear national. Not only this, the wonder glass can also help you identify an anti-national. It would identify anti-nationals involved in the following acts: –

· Criticizing the prime-minister
