Indians, as is the wont, have gone
overboard, the fragile egos of elitizens seems to have shattered. They are terming
it as ‘national outrage’. The blogger for one doesn’t want to belong to this conception
of nation. The fringe groups too have
joined in for the cause of ‘bharath ki
beti’, the embedded patriarchy makes the narration compelling, easily
fitting in the insult. That the domestic help, who is alleged to have been
exploited, is also an Indian is conveniently put under carpet. Senior ministers
and out of work bureaucrats are stampeding popular media calling for revenge ‘if
they outrage one of our women we will deal with three of their’ (that was
former Ambassador Parthasarthy). The outraged elitizens want to find out how much
the Americans pay Indians in India? Is there a common standard, they scream in
unison. Ofcourse not love. That is why Indians are cheap labour, remember that is our investment advantage. Also whether
Americans pay Indian help enough money is easily taken care by the fact that
this nation doesn’t have minimum standards for anything including payments to domestic
helps. Elitizens have conveniently bypassed the ILO agreements; these are never
discussed, while the fools argue GDPs so on. Clearly Americans in India cannot violate
any laws because there aren’t laws!! Further
it is a standard procedure to frisk people in airports, the VIP culture of
elitizens doesn’t make sense anywhere else. What is the problem here?
Substantive issues like FBI
snooping onto Indians was dealt in most cozy manner, the fake elite charm
sometimes is handy. They are now left
with bulldozing minor barricades, which incidentally could have been moved with
hands!! The privileges which they have extended to Americans are surely in contravention
to the laws, clearly the decision makers must have got something in return, privileges
come with quid quo pro. The families and friends do visit America and then children’s
future too have to be taken care of (bachon
ka settlement bhi tho karna hai. Mediocre lyricist ZK Bozz says genes hai tho
jahan hai). It is common knowledge that Indians can be bought cheap, the
reason that Americans didn’t snoop much on Indian leaders. You snap you fingers
they are on the knees (this nuance is described as movement from sanskritisation
to westernization), such amazingly malleable people. This blogger request US
not to back down by this manufactured ‘outrage’, the law must take its own
course. There should be thorough investigation. Vienna convention shouldn’t be any
obstacle. In the meanwhile the supple government owes an explanation as to what
safeguards they have in place for protection of domestic helps. Indian elitizens
seems to have god ordained right over people. The quintessential Ramukaka of khandani ghars has been exploited enough,
he needs to be paid. These traditional entitlements and hold cannot hide any longer.
The shame is out. Emerging superpower is a kitten who is mistaking itself for a
lion. Not that I have anything against kittens.
