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.
