Britain does it again !!

This irresponsible nation has done it again. They have provided a Hindu fellow to exhibit his “religious rights”. Now this fellow wants to be burn his body (after death of course) in open pyre. This he believes is how Hindus attain salivation (it is news to me, not that I am terribly concerned about what happens to me after my death…living itself is quite a challenge!). These kinds of crude expressions and irrational adamant behavior (which is a step away from fundamentalism) you will find in people once they reach Britain. Britain seems to be churning out crudest possible people. The problem here is prosperity does cushion the impact but poorer societies pay heavy price. Unfortunately Britain also happens to have embryonic link to pretentious elite of the subcontinent- who get framework from these societies.

The fellow who won his religious rights in Britain has put people in here in precarious situation. Electric crematorium is encouraged, it is environment friendly and people have adapted to it quite well despite earlier reservations. Also one need to understand in crowded cities it is not feasible to have open pyres, it troubles other. Most people in this part of world will know that it is not decent thing to do and would compromise so as to not cause trouble.

Now enter the vicious breed, market has already done enough ground work, having emboldened by “developed nation” they will create problem here. Fundamentalist have got one more weapon to work on sentiments. It is I am told asserting one’s rights (there is this fellow with funny white hair -who calls himself ‘Lord’-another British joke!- who also visits this country occasionally to tell us how we should live). They will now insist on cruder forms of religion as their right. It puts tremendous pressure on societies that has to live by sharing and adjusting.

Britain is a shame, their arrogance (or is it the guilt of their primitive ancestors who basically were into looting and wholesale massacring) will definitely take them down. Yes they have the money to have high quality surveillance but then societies don’t work on surveillance they work on cooperation and being responsible towards society and environment. These kinds of verdict fracture that bond. The high priests in British judiciary may not have experience to realize these. These are not found in books.

Post script: flip side is in India they are only responsible to family and friends. The reason why India is among the most corrupt countries in the world. It about loving the family.

So is the film a super hit? Not exactly super hit but a movie can be hit before even it is released. These miracles happen these days. They don’t even need audience!!. Isn’t that wonderful?. They do it by selling the rights and working out with ads and so on. As far as this movie is concerned they saved a fortune on marketing, it’s been free for a week in news channel and otherwise, it has also helped the TRP (it has good looking people and ready made masala, a hindi news anchor kept repeating dilchesp hota ja raha hai!!). That is great beginning. Everybody seems to be happy. Ideally this nonsense would have subsided just before the date of release with each party having worked out their profit/benefit agrees to back down. But our man for once is being egged on to play martyr…who are the people behind these could be quite a revelation. Anyway the mardon wali cream fellow is an unlikely martyr, he is quite shrewd for that. I guess the calculation would be: even though the movie may have problem in Mumbai that should be the reason why people around the world should watch it. They could spin it as- if you watch the movie you are supporting freedom!!. So much of possibilities and can win awards (it becomes our duty). His being a muslim has only helped the matter. The mute question here is how can state machinery used to protect a movie, how much it has cost the exchequer?. Whether common people in Mumbai also don’t need police protection?

Shiv Sena goons are clear winners (others haven’t lost-these are always framed to win –win), it is not difficult to see why people in maharashtra wouldn’t agree with them (however if they don’t temper they might loose it, but I guess they are not really looking for majority). They have used the media quite effectively (it could be a case study in management schools). The state governments over the years have fed the goons and now they have attained a size that if you do anything they could play victim card and gain sympathy. They have taken the city on ransom. Chief Minister with centre is working out how to utilize the situation, Union minister Sharad Pawar has done his small mischief (even crude woman turd is out of her hole to steady her brand, this a trump card to brandish her image as also ask for future favors from big banners). It is amazing is it not?.

Have you ever seen dog in front of butcher shop?. The kind of concentration, patience, ditto here everyone is working out their future with diligence. Also dog will snarl if they see their kind around ditto here they are snarling at each other. So who gets the meat?

Believe me none of these people are going to be of any help when reality strikes, although they each are equally responsible to deteriorate the situation. The common people will pay some heavy price. The elite section will not be in streets when killings happen. That is why you will not see Sunil Gavaskar screaming on the TV screen because he doesn’t have to position himself. And yes he will risk his life to save lives (and I am very certain woman like turd-or that joker moron would even roll down their car window in the same circumstance- I know what these people are all about). He is an amazing guy, a great sportsperson, a great human…if any sportsperson is ever considered for country’s top honor it has to be him.

We live in a world that is increasingly getting cynical the reason why I seem to be getting very demotivated in my blogs. I am definitely going to reduce my postings. I though am quite excited about my birds blog (writing short story with my kind of English is an arduous task, I like the challenge so would keep posting once in a while. Previously when words fly I chase it now when they settle down they become poems without me realizing it!!). I love that one, it gets exciting every time. Initially I was thinking on hundred birds but now I would like to cover about 1000 birds. That will take my life time I think!!. And as you can see I cannot really leave it on birds alone I do write about literature/poems so on. That’s double whammy. I guess I have just got started and there is so much to cover and read. One of my dream when I was kid was to visit as many countries as possible- I still spent lots of time on atlas, that is unlikely to happen but internet (and TV) has opened amazing opportunities…you can visit countries with click of button. It is incredible.
