Do you mean, "
he is famous, so the Brahma Kumaris must be true ... and Destruction must happen!!!" The Brahma Kumaris have been rolling out that one for decades. It is their technique.
In my opinion, the BK sponsorship of political parties and political individuals gives their followers a thrill and makes them feel as if they are doing something important and ... the all important ... "powerful". An excitement based on their own personal inability to ever meet someone so "famous" ... a real VIP. It is one of the reason they give to the "Politico-Religious movement" Lekhraj Kirpalani claimed the BKWSU was.
The Missile Man is, of course, APJ Abdul Kalam. The Former President of India. The position of President of India is for the titular head of state but it has few actual powers. Dr Kalam had no political experience and was seen by many as an odd choice. It was, of course, a highly political and provocative choice.
Kalam's public faces were a devotion to militarism, and his image as a Muslim.
Very Brahma Kumaris ...By appointing him, the Vajpayee government appealed to crass militarism and nationalism to advance its political interests.
Very Brahma Kumaris ... Kalam interests were in the destructive end of science; nuclear missiles, biological weapons and mind-control technologies. He ardently advocates investing in the Military-Industrial Complex as the key to "development". The ethical questions posed by mass-destruction technologies do not bother him.
Very Brahma Kumaris ...It is worth noting for such a peaceful, spiritual nation, Mr Kalam was awarded the "Bharat Ratna" award many years before Nobel Prize winning Amartya Sen, known for his liberal and anti-militaristic views, received it. He was an engineer not a scientist. Kalam's PhD was 'honorary' not earned. Under him the Defence Research Department spent almost $1 billion annually without producing any decent results, the accounts hidden from the public.
Very Brahma Kumaris ...As a Muslim, he served to whitewash the BJP after the massacre of Muslims in Gujarat which investigation found were not a spontaneous swelling of anger but a planned genocide carried out by leading individuals with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, the Bajrang Dal and the state authorities with The Knowledge and sanction of Chief Minister
Narendra Modi... another Brahma Kumari VIP contact (did not they sucked up to, provide 'whitewash', and got land off the local government?).
In Gujerat, 100,000 people were displaced by the violence in which even foot soldiers, who actually raped, killed and looted. So, Kalam could turn a blind eye to abuse and quote short extracts from the Vedas. Modi was held directly responsible by the judges of the Tribunal afterwards.
Very Brahma Kumaris ...But what do I know about Indian politics ?
