What
an amazingly primitive and degraded cultured society. That you roll over
somebody’s leftover food to get blessing and to cure skin disease is how tradition
comes to be defined in this part of the world. And what is heinous is that this
leftover food is the one partaken by the squatters aka ‘brahmin’. Let me remind that this is circa 2014, in case some may
wonder whether we have not slipped through a time-space continuum from some medieval caves. Generously
being provided by the modern amenities as if by some miracle or divine interventions, what is essentially
products of research, technology, innovations...while Indians roll on in muck, as
part of tradition and unique culture. The younger orangutans are growing up to be part of
demographic dividend. This is where Indians negotiate their ideas of world, and their special place herein. You may think this is isolated incident, you are in for a shock, much greater variant exists in each and every place around this country. They call it diversity. The space of enlightened understanding has always been a subaltern engagement. As you see in the picture the cops are there
to keep the order. That is the role of the state in democracy.
This primitive degradation has all the hallmark of what learned judges of High Court referred to as ‘ritual in its traditional
form’ and therefore allowed till they decide further on subtleties and modalities. This is the
caliber of Indian judiciary. Morons and regressive scoundrels as judges, in the
meanwhile the learned judges of SC are busy saving the spirit of cricket, a
business mistaken for sports with all kind of clever manipulators vying for lick
with bunch of mediocre players. This template is something very common in Indian tradition.
How
did they define these squatters as Brahmin I would like to know? Maybe scoundrels masquerading as ‘leading
liberal journalist’ Saliva Sardesai, who also moon walks as some kind of expert
on these matters could educate us. If not our self rectifying learner Gandhian Guhaji,
who shares dais and promotes Sardesaiji’s book (indeed all of them are also
writers, indeed Sardesaiji can even swing his fist and cuss when and where the situation
demands. His words Iss hamam meh sab
nange hai is immortalized in annals of, whatever can be called as, Indian journalism)
should enlighten. Mishraji promotes Desaiji in an international column, so poor
me is sucked into Desaiji (a heartrending peddler columnist, market’s claim on
social thinking and reflection), Desaiji in turn is quick to defend Sardesaiji
(which should be obvious in the complicated primitively subtle world, SarDesai is
more than Desai, it is an all encompassing access to inner world that Desai
will have to come in terms with!). He writes with much authority “…some recent tweets by Sardesaiji that had to
do with taking pride in the achievements of some people from his caste. The truth
is that most people have been brought up in the cradle of caste and to think of
caste purely as a social evil is to choose to be blind to the role it plays in
the lives of most Indians. A recent NCAER study tells us that only 5% of
marriages in India are of an inter-caste nature, and while this is a pointer to
a social problem, it underlines where we really are as a society. To pretend
otherwise is to deny ourselves answers that are appropriate for the Indian context”.
So here we go with the tradition of wordly dexterity, the art of packaging to
whosoever it may concern. That this fellow has done exceptionally well in
market is a testament to how squatters can easily ensconce to the world of pedaling.
Let’s analyze Desaiji’s statement. According to our man of market with conscience
of a saint, the ‘cradle of society’ is not entirely evil, where the line is
drawn is not explained. It is a different matter that he finds expression of evil
part as only a social ‘problem’. Sardesaiji’s taking pride, we assume, is on
the non evil part. That caste is the single most source of degradation is
subdued in this play of words and Gandhian diversity, it is nothing short of
racism. This when taken out of this primitive ‘cradle’ and drilled into western
reality becomes beacon of non violence and tolerance. It is time that
international community calls this bluff and clam on this degradation of humanity.
The audacity to call themselves as civilized is what baffles me. I have persistently
made the point of India should be declared as a racist country.
Some
high on liberalism (very likely fed by salivating Congress leftovers, who haven’t
come in terms with loss of power) are quite concerned about PM Modi’s frequent
foreign visits, my concern is President Mukherjee (it’s disgusting and degrading
that even the first citizen of this country carries these references. Of course
being a Congressman these comes easy. I can but only blame likes of Gandhi, as these
were seen as normal, wherein if they were shamed in the beginning itself they wouldn’t
dare to carry these in civilized world) hopping from one temple to another. Clearly
President doesn’t seem to have much work nor our man is enlightened enough to dissociate
from these ritualistic symbols. It is no wonder that he was able cross party
lines as problem solver/negotiator before being elevated as President. We know
what was working.
That
these references extend to hereditary claims and degrading rituals should have
been clamped down by the legislature. But then looking at the kind of
politicians starting with President and down under we cannot expect much. The media
too is bunch controlled by mediocre market. Only respite was Judiciary, and
there look at the buffoons as HC judges who find these amazingly degrading rituals
wherein people roll the leftover of others as blessing, as tradition. While buffoons
at Supreme Court scores a big one by declaring the temple of Chidambaram as
squatter’s property. The Indian judiciary arguably is one of most mediocre
bunch with not much spine or understanding, not surprising as Desaiji mentions
“the cradle…it underlines where we really are as a society. To pretend
otherwise is to deny ourselves answers that are appropriate for the Indian context”.
Now
that Mishraji has referred Desaiji, and Desaiji has defended Sardesaiji, and Sardesaiji
has got Guhaji’s blessing. So what will Guhaji do? Well he is going to go back
to Gandhi, to extract meanings from the little world…and some clever words that
when taken out of Indian reality becomes beacon of hope for humanity. Nice set
up. As Sardesaiji pouts 'Iss hamam meh sab nange hai'. Truly.
