Another sterling example of
nonsense called judicial system in India. It is a joke that after almost 30
years (try believing that!!), when thousands of people were massacred in the
streets of capital city of India, the scoundrels have again found that there is
a case against Mister Tytler. Really that surely is news to us. We are excited.
The judges have become a system
onto themselves, indeed even after retirement they continue sucking by getting
into some commissions with never ending time frame, it is also clear that they
succumb to political pressure. Mylords
have a charming life while people suffer in one of the callous archaic judicial
system that seems to be maintained as a tribute to colonialism. In the
meanwhile their genes get into Harvard and Oxford or other pretentious
places/profiles and emerge as foot soldiers of freedom of expression and
harbinger of liberal thoughts. These ofcourse we know by now are cleverly
placed euphemism for market friendly world. Americans have made it a
beautifully inter changeable world. Indeed they are so viscously predating
through TV channels that increasing sections of Indians have their souls
permanently in US of A, they have seceded. There are too many white men, too
much red meat, baking and guns….It is the easiest capitulation that has
happened. So much so the West doesn’t really have much respect for Indians, we
are easy suckers.
In the meanwhile, as Indians surf
TV channels imbibing American garbage, the elite as is the tradition have
abdicated their responsibility. Indeed they have taken up the role akin to
brown sahibs they performed so well for many centuries under colonial rule.
They are now facilitators, investor friendly you may, service industry you can.
National political parties like Congress and BJP are easily controlled
therefore our immediate redemption would be smaller parties -the chaos, is our
only option that will delay this. In the last few decades markets tentacles
have become firm. It is no wonder market media is carefully playing Congress Vs
BJP; it is a narration that helps. It is a perfect American/British model that
helps the Indian elite to be an alibi for West. They call it development, the
reality being everything and anything is degraded, while the material benefits
accrued by few. The obvious literal implication is that the land is cut and
exported. No wonders we have so many, indeed most, millionaires and
billionaires who haven’t ever heard terms like innovations or R&D (Corporate R&D investment in India is one of the lowest in the world). Knowledge is reduced to an equipment that help suck, unlike era of colonialism
things have become sophisticated. Some people call it neo-colonialism.
In context of things Indian
judiciary is only extending tradition of mediocrity that comes embellished with
qualities of general apathy and complete lack of empathy. Only economists seem to have the amazing
ability to stare at this and rue the decreasing GDP.
Condolence: Chinua Achebe was a
great writer and humanist
