Hopefully this time around they better work it out!!

When constructed reality takes precedence over objective reality

Climate change is an objective reality. It is happening and based on increasing and substantial scientific evidence, it is therefore a fact. This reality affects the planet directly hence to the species, biodiversity and ecosystem that sustains. It has debilitating effect on human being. It is acutely felt by the marginalised and vulnerable, hence they are the one who will feel the urgency. Ironically these deteriorations are mainly due to profligate lifestyle and irresponsible ways of the affluent section as is evident from the huge gaps in carbon footprint. India has low per capita carbon footprint but one can be quite sure that the affluent class has carbon footprint that could be one of the largest in the world considering that a large section of Indians live in abject conditions and lack access to even basic needs. On a personal note this blogger is using Rajdhani ac trains more than frequently and that has left me rather guilty, to travel in ac in October when the weather outside is comfortable, knowing that eighty percentage of power goes to maintain these. As also consuming food that comes in plastic sachets that too things like milk whitener that could easily be avoided as most Indians are not used to/prefer these (why not serve simple tea?).

Constructed reality is something that is developed by human beings as part of evolution as societies, that which help us develop sophistication and abstraction, hence benefit us in our dealings and has demarcated us as remarkable species. Ideas, concepts, theories, myths, faiths, constructs so on has evolved societies into intricate evolutionary achievements that is nothing short of incredible. The foundation and connection with objective reality is essential, sometimes in the labyrinth of complexity and dextrous ways humans tend to lose touch with the surroundings, that which sustains and nurtures is lost/discounted in the abstract nature of dealing. We therefore lose connection with the objective reality. Therefore climate change as anthropogenic reason finds difficulty meanwhile constructed realities, in particular religion, gain prominence and sensitivities related to this given predominance. Therefore again we have the irony of religious myths/fictions that fails the objective reality or logic that search the basis. It is not that religion lacks objective, indeed many aspects of faith has direct connection to the materiel surrounding/nature but it is when the system consolidates and power structure asserts that the primal connection loses and fiction sets in. Therefore becomes manipulative instrument in the hands of powerful, it is not at all surprising that in India the elite section is immune to these challenges of climate change that will have (and has) debilitating effect on millions of vulnerable Indians while they engross in freedom of fictional realities of religion and economy. It is also not surprise that fictional reality of Islamist sought to overshadow the objective reality of climate change in Paris. It is the success of humanity that fiction was pushed out and reality was brought in. The reality on which the future of humanity is hinged on. 

      

 When economy takes precedence over nature in clear objective reality terms it means money becomes priority over dwelling, meaning this home called earth that is fragile and very likely the only place in the whole universe. Objective reality is that the human beings are too small part in the scheme of things called universe but fictional reality places humans as grand. Houston we have a problem.

Strongly condemn state machinery using regressive references

Nehru’s birth anniversary was celebrated by Union Culture Ministry with an advertisement that had ‘Pundit’ as a reference. This is shocking, and that this casteist reference is used with impunity and is accepted without anyone squirm is what makes it compelling about this deviant society and its ways. This is also something the regurgitators, self-appointed conscience keepers, sniffers of intolerance, who seems to be taking ever higher moral grounds, have missed. It is a common habit in a society that developed in ethical vacuum and doesn’t seem to have much civilised references. They constantly try to fill this vacuum by creating occasions that keeps their dubious values and unethical contexts herein out of the way meanwhile conjure narrations that showcases them as kindred souls. Enter Mullahs as harbinger for minority rights.  The stampede to be saviour is fought with all the viciousness. They scratch, they gnarl and create impressions of compassion driven souls fighting for righteous world. Indeed from this putrid pit some even see themselves as jagath guru, the masters of universe, compassionate guides to the beleaguered world that the world will have to bow down one day. It has to come out of the squatter’s pits, the conception of universal being is ordained by forces of nature, entitled, blessed and sent across through vaginal superways (especially helped by likes of Kasturi&Sons…they now have new conception for caste: social groups!!). In these competing world issues concerning common people are shuttled around.   

         

Jawaharlal Nehru, in the context of things, was quite a towering leader. He was ofcourse man of circumstances and who didn’t quite live upto the expectations of the people. He succumbed to the overwhelming mediocre uncouth ‘leaders’ who formed the ruling class, mostly (indeed almost all) blatant casteist patriarchs. These brutes assumed themselves to be masters of India’s destiny and assigned themselves greater roles. These shoddy leaders jostled as the primitive society was pushed into tryst with modern and egalitarian ways. “When the world sleeps India awakens” is a poetic line and quite appropriate way of describing the nation that celebrates its independence. Undoubtedly Nehru was an orator. But as the nation awakens the primitive society was and is in slumber, enmeshed in cruder ways. The glitter of modern technology and ways (Indian’s contributions to these are amazingly limited) cannot hide the putrid pits that this society exists in. Indian democracy is much of a joke, though celebrated as a miracle, it has only consolidated primitive ways and pushed the society into further crudeness while giving the semblance of freedom as market ransack with choices. It has become a systematic means of exploitation. The clever ways of feudal patriarchs are polished to the exigencies of the time as they come in the garb of saviours and leaders of pride filled  democracy.  Meanwhile feudal patriarchs of other faiths, most significantly the mullahs and his ways, are taken as the minority, hence feeding them is preened as presentation on secularism and a tenuous connection to egalitarian values is built. Squatter liberals find these quite exciting opening to present themselves to modern liberal ways. Meanwhile corruption, nepotism and all kind of crudeness is burdened on common people as competing forces save the world for us. Encouraging primitiveness of other religions/societies as culture and viciously seeking to protect these help cement the narration of amazingly tolerant humble souls. The vigilant bleeding hearts who cares and will fight for democratic rights of the oppressed (it is a different matter that feudal lords are rarely oppressed). Indeed they also position themselves as role model to west. See how peacefully we live. If Indians were to decide the course of human race we will be still in caves tolerating “social groups” and other primitive practises. It’s a mediocre society that is craving for its god ordained entitlements and as spokesperson of these deceits many pirouette across the world with claims of some exotic clairvoyance, squatter’s as liberal seculars, as spiritual humbugs. Reality is much humbling.     

      

Ever wondered why despite the kind of freedom enjoyed by the people (that ofcourse is because  of egalitarian humanistic traditions -constantly threatened and diminished by squatters), Indians never really rise to the expectations? They almost always fall short; the best is never good enough and good is stamped out in all earnestness. It is a self-defeating society that puts premium on entitlements and dispensing patronage, while individuals grope in fatalism and opportunism.  Rare exceptions are despite this vice like grip of this crude society. Ways of modernity are shoddy replications while democracy is a means to consolidate deviant values. It is a dead society that is putrefying, latest gadgets cannot change the ways, glitter cannot hide the stink. The world must bypass Indians they are not really worth it, nothing much can be expected from this burgeoning pit. Non-violently dangerous and sanctimoniously pedantic there is nothing exciting here. Even the promise of ‘demographic dividend’ (increasing population by grace of gods) are youths who come out of these pits all tagged and entitled for world to accept. The Indian family unit is a mediocrity sustaining selfish unit, that create individuals slavishly dependent on it, fed on pathologically deviant traditions and cultures. Hence we have success as money and population multipliers. With ego, status, constant urges that keeps them bonded, meanwhile enjoying amazingly mediocre fares as entertainment, sports included. There isn’t any standard or propriety, everything is made negotiable. Hence negotiators (pimps the right word here), emerging from the traditions of otherworldly arbitrations, equipped for the deal as the society spirals down. People suffer as values of equality and fraternity is reduced to legal jargons and lawyer luminaries.  The worst of the world have space in India while they ransack Indians with ideas of market choices, mediocre elite showcase these as vibrant ways. The society with rich tradition of art/music gawks on stupid American fares, a region with amazing biodiversity ogles at godforsaken crocodile catchers. It is as if this society is made completely incapable. It lacks talent, passion or calibre. Something quite natural, and expected in a society, that is on deviant foundation and labours forward with nepotism, corruption and sleight. Providence becomes the landmark, myth making explanations for inconvenient disruption. They now pupate in democratic institutions seeking redemptions. This maybe true for other societies too, but the difference here is in other societies (like US, Europe, Japan, Korea) have excellence thriving. There is sheer brilliance. Here the squatter initiated world has sinisterly ransacked everything and anything into amazing level of mediocrity and crudeness. Now they shed for ‘rising intolerance’. Get off. 

Lament of Gandhi’s grandson: Dadajis favourite is out to protect family legacy. It also helps that protecting family fortunes/legacies also takes oneself into rarefied space, that ofcourse is beyond the reach of common people. Forget common people even Netaji’s or Babasaheb’s grandchildren cannot match this rub, this moral authority that seem to be intact through generations (Kasturi&Sons even point to afterlife vaginal super highway route!! Vagina being marg for penis to move, genes to find ordained life, you may take it literally but Kasturi&Sons or for that matter Gandhi&Sons are known to position themselves in the realm of metaphors and otherworldly attributes as they negotiate liberal ways and mullah feeding realities to atone their moral gaps). So much so he doesn’t even refer the name Gandhi it seems Mahatma will suffice, indeed the trust on brand recall is amazing while Ambedkar and sundry don’t even deserve Mr. or Shri (later he ofcourse condescend to use Dr. for Ambedkar probably as an afterthought, no such luck for others. Common decency demands that if you use term of respect for one then it should be extended to others too or don’t use it). It’s an amazing lack but his bhakti to Gandhi –essentially clan arrogance, gets easily suffused in supposedly Gandhian ideals that he claims to represent. You can quite effortlessly place this arrogance in squatter’s frame, the narcissism of it, the ungraciousness of it, the crassness of it. It is the ethical blind spot of Indian elite that they constantly stare but are incapable to see, as they negotiate crude selves in the garb of humble ways  and semantic dexterity.    

    

Gopalkrishna Gandhi has a charmed life, the kind you will rarely see in the career of an IAS officer (that even questions his selection process to the civil service. Did his family name help the matter? Most likely. Afterall mahatmas are no small matter, though it maybe a small world), from high commissioner to governor to chairpersons of reputed institutions. God has been graceful, humbleness therefore is a natural attribute (as ZK says humblenezz tho hona hi tha!!). Our man has been positioning himself as wise man, and yes this blogger had taken him seriously few years back (even made effort to listen to his speech, I recall at IISC), now the situation has shifted drastically. With shrinking of Gandhi, his grandson’s grandness doesn’t really help the matter. 

If Ben Kingsley can have a space in front of British parliament then what prevents Mamootty? Oh how I forget, when it comes to statue building and naming roads gandhians always had an upperhand. Respect doesn’t come by imposing nor does wisdom by patronising. It is shocking to gandhians that no one wants to be referred to as harijans. This disconnect is symptomatic and is no doubt representation of high patronising intent of elite and response from the people. Without jans where is the hari, I say!! 

Our man has been writing, sometimes audacious open letters to nobody less than the prime minister. In his recent contribution he starts by including us too “We are nation of pantheons…we have, rather uniquely, pantheons of caste heroes…” Really ‘caste heroes’ is this fellow for real, celebrating this oxymoron obnoxiousness as ‘unique’ can only be conjured by someone who understands Gandhi, indeed I am told studied deeply. Like any cheapskate sociologist with limited intellect they only see the reality that serves their purpose, not to understand or to be aware of the context or ethical consideration. They sinisterly give authenticity to discrimination as some form of esoteric tradition, which is then humbly explained to West who in turn unthinkingly lap it on as some eastern mysticism. Since they had complete control of narration these nonsense are part of mainstream.  It is easy to infer that from the context of things Gandhi could well be only a ‘caste hero’.  Chota gandhis and mota gandhis should learn to live with it.

Again, Gandhi was a great man, and admirable in many ways, but this insistence of mahatma is unacceptable nor appropriation by family/clan is tolerated. This blogger has read enough, hence understands the import and significance of mahatma. Mahatmas come from traditions that stridently oppose squatter, and were compassionate souls with egalitarian intent. It is a tradition that traces itself to Buddhas and Nanaks. It is the machiavellian gandhians and conniving congressmen who have brought much disrepute.

I was reading VS Naipaul, Literary Occasions Essays, bought on discount rate at Rishikesh, it is an autographical writings and here it is a reference to Naipaul’s aunt i.e. his father’s sister, a lady on her death bed. It is a telling paragraph that I think needs to be quoted to put things in context. Her father was a pundit, she said. And he was fussy; he didn’t like having too much to do with the low. And here –since her face was too old to be moulded into any expression save one of great wariness–   the old lady used her shrivelled little hand to make gesture of disdain. The disdain was for low Hindus. My father’s sister had spent all her life in Trinidad; but in her caste vision no other community mattered or properly existed. She took the story back to her father’s mother. This was as far as her memory went. And for me it was far enough… She wanted me to know now, before the knowledge vanished with her, what she –and my father– had come from. She wanted me to know that the blood was good.                              

Being human is enough

Support France.

Progress of humans into civilised being is hinged on certain societies. France undoubtedly is one of them. There is history of atrocities through colonialism, machiavellian elitist leaders supporting despots so on but the best of France is the best of human civilisation. It truly defines human liberty, not bound by religion or any faith or any identity. Being human is enough, and a good starting point for better ways. Religion, whatever the counter claims, if seen as identity is divisive, if seeks to divide is dangerous. That precisely is happening in the garb of secularism. France has been quite clear in not allowing any expression of discriminatory/degrading religious identity in public space, they have clearly recognised religion as a private matter. Religion as an expression in public space is discriminatory on our identity as human being. It seeks to subjugate values of human identity, and initiates primitive ways of dealing in society. Most importantly the pernicious wahabi/salafi sect –that has been degrading societies across world, they use amazingly cruder ways to express themselves severely putting stress on others and surrounding. They create situations that provoke negative reactions. They can only spread misery, and are indeed threat to Islam itself and chief instigator of islamophobia. Local population cannot be held entirely at fault nor ‘it is not about religion’ going to solve the matter. If these are not addressed then silent sane majority will go against and innocent people will be harmed. Political correctness is a way to be accommodative but if it is increasingly seen as attempts at hiding the elephant in the room, pandering to insensitive section then the balance tips. What goes against humanity cannot be included as multiculture. Anti social ways, includes full cover dresses which apart from being brutally patriarchal is meant to discourage social exchange (even basic courtesy), creates dissonance. Wahabis are not known for subtle ways nor graciousness their strong point as they showcase themselves to be superior –specially blessed by a god that is greater than everything or any other god, this asserted in every aspect of dealing hence others are seen as wanting, compassion  mostly patronising. It is the beginning of domination, of violence. By giving them space society is degrading itself, and is taking leap backward in trying to accommodate these primitive ways. It is a poison that spreads, there is nothing good or compassionate in its presence. This conception will produce deviant individuals who will always find themselves discriminated, and worse in their grossly patriarchal chauvinist ways, that is veiled in the nonsense of modesty, finds difficulty in dealing with outside world, ill-equipped as they are they choose the easiest, indeed narrow religious sanctioned, path of violence and brutalities. They will always be victims.  

Attack on Paris is a dangerous phase of horror that was initiated by mischief of Bush-Blair (initiating action against them will assuage in small way it though will be a good belated beginning) but it will be a terrible mistake not to recognise pernicious nature of Islam, the wahabi/salafi cult, that seeks to subjugate every other ways. They have brutally destroyed quaint Islamic traditions, variant culture and faith across the world. Their contribution to humanity is nothing but misery. This is definitely about primitive ways that is being allowed to be spread in the name of religious rights. France is one of the very few sane places in the world. Attack on Paris is an attack on sanity. It is an attack on equality and liberty, human being as one fraternity.      

PM must ask Britain to be intolerant towards monarchy

British monarchy has created clones in India; it is used to cement privileges of the elite not only as a way of life but as entitlements by pushing them into the realm of democracy hence easily classified as civilised ways. President is carefully miming the trapping of the british monarchy, so does the Governors… the amount of money and resources spent on these nonsenses are astounding. I am told they are safeguarding some revered traditions. Really whose tradition, which tradition?  And as it seeps down into echelons of democracy you encounter minor monarchies all the way down. Everyone fawning to the powerful while subjugating the lower, no wonder democracy has seeped so well into Indian reality without being effectual or enlightening, it has only consolidated primitiveness. Meanwhile every sort of entitled barbarity is sought to be pushed into modernity as choices. Scoundrels with casteist references, and entitlements herein, roam around as liberal arbitrators, mullah feeding seem to give them sense of atonement as they subjugate and demean. This blogger calls upon people who are awarded by the President (who has casteist reference) to return awards as a protest against these primitive ways. Meanwhile Britain needs to answer why it is carrying the burden of monarchy? The ‘monarchy’ meanwhile needs to explain why it is carrying on with these kinds of entitlements, why cannot they abdicate gracefully and open to egalitarian ways? Monarchy anywhere is bad example to the world.   

Market initiated intolerance and irresponsible ways

Ban works when applied judiciously, unlike what ban happy insecure conservative elites and ban abstinence happy market liberal arbitrators may propose.  A car ad in Europe was banned for the following reason “We considered that the handling capability of the vehicle had not been communicated in a clear context of safety, which was a requirement of the code. Because the ad implicitly challenged the viewer to drive at speed… we considered that it had also encouraged irresponsible and potentially dangerous driving…It ruled that the ad must not appear in its current form again…to ensure that future ads must not demonstrate the handling characteristic of a vehicle except in a clear context of safety, and that reference to this must not suggest excitement, aggression or competitiveness.” It is inconceivable in primitive society increasingly attuned to market to even understand such nuanced ways, they will immediately cry foul and position for maximum lick. These are the habitual ways of clever that holds the society at its nefarious will. Changing the frame as it suits.       

    

It is becoming quite clear that market driven hedonism has unleashed amazing level of social (and environmental) degradation in last two decades, couched in pointers of modernity and choices, they sought to drivel in libertine angst through laissez-faire market. Hence market acquires the role of local guardians, as they set out to create manipulateable icons from trivialities of cricket and bollywood who cement these cravings as choices. It’s an amazing travesty as they further degrade with these demeaning benchmarks. These self-serving cheapskates and obnoxious icons are now hoisted as our ethical barometer, it helps that most of these are semiliterate with simplistic take on life. It also makes the job of market media easy as some workout their way as journalists.  It is no wonder that in these exigencies of greed, the manipulations and exaggerations pushes the society into ethical vacuum, it severely impinges on value frameworks of young, who already are enmeshed in primitive ways as tradition and now groomed on market created liberals. It is no surprise that, with rare exceptions, majority of youngsters come out us deviant beings with disgust as traditions and an urge to grab. The best of this society is seen in IIT-IIM stupidity!!. What a degraded society.  

The ridiculous nonsense of “intolerance” is another one hoisted by these machiavellian masquerading higher values and intent. They work with their hold on political power and from easy money through market manipulations hence create the base for their debauched ways. With political power gone they are now encashing their clout and entitlements, regurgitating  what they sucked in for over decades with unbridled political power, nepotism and corruption. They severely degraded institutions as they dispensed privileges and established clout.  It is no surprise that when it comes to environmental issues, in particular the issue of carbon footprint, these market deviants are major culprits.

In the meanwhile I was reading something amazing.  In Mexico Vicente Fox became the country’s first democratically elected president in 2000, he had earlier been president of Coca-Cola Mexico and then head of the company’s Latin American operations. Clearly coca cola pepsi is not confined to india in creating icons!! That Mexico is a poor corruption ridden country immensely help the matter. Not very coincidentally Mexico has by far the world’s highest death rate from chronic diseases caused by consumption of sugary drinks. National Survey of Health and Nutrition revealed that diabetes – the country’s leading cause of death – had doubled since 2000. Between 1999 and 2006, the average waist size among women of childbearing age increased by nearly 11cm. And during the same period, obesity among children aged five to 11 rose by 40%.The soda industry’s contention that activity can protect us from obesity and diabetes is not borne out by research, which has shown again and again that diet is a far more important factor in obesity than exercise. And over the last two decades, the Mexican diet has been transformed. Consumption of beans dropped by half. In the last 14 years, consumption of fruit and vegetables dropped by 30% – largely replaced by processed food and sugar-sweetened beverages. So the new President in 2013 decided to put soda tax. Will such initiatives ever happen in India which faces the same kind of exploitators? Not a chance as the amazingly compromised elite comes out with new nautanki every week to be in brand reckoning. These attempts at benevolent guardians are rather trite, we should be beware of these people.  

Post script: a study on Crude Woman & ZK will be worthwhile in these matters. This con couple cannot live without political clout and market traction, the latter being slinky slime very much dependent on former since they lack popularity hence compensated these with their political clout. They were the first one to change colour and play puppy as the government changed in the centre. They made valiant efforts to land some children oriented low profile space very much intending to drivel way up, but to their chagrin even these were denied. All the purring amounted to nothing. As the decades of assiduously feeding market was also slipping, the perception creation being a very significant part of their crude ways, they are now clawing high moral ground act and positioning as saviours. As Crude woman has gone on offense (very much gained from resurgent congress sickularism after 1984 and Shah Bano, ideally these awards should be taken back from this mediocre manipulative woman. These people have degraded these awards) ZK has detached to play wise. You never know where the lick is!
