We must stop comparing it to the Delhi gang rape because the
similarities exist in their horrific death and not in the lives lead. We must
acknowledge that our motivation at the comparison is to drag the Kerala woman’s
life into a setting that we are comfortable in – urban, upper caste – and not
confront the realities of caste violence across India…Instead of the
comparisons, the victims will be better served if we started acknowledging the
vicious effects of caste and start working against it; if we see that recent
violence against Dalit people has come on the bodies of people trying to assert
themselves and breaking free of caste shackles: a law student, a nursing
student, a bright school student, a PhD student; if we admit caste is present
everywhere in our lives.
It is rare to find these kind of
lines in squatter saturated ‘bania’ promoted shubh laab ventures that posits as media. With god’s grace the technologies keep
innovating and fall on their lap (minor miracles) to further promote their primitive
ways and reach. Meanwhile the people who have morphed their primitiveness in
social indices so as to be referred to as progressive are being questioned. Kerala
is a putrefication that Indians will meet on the way –with rising literacy and
income, as they progress negotiating market enlightenment with cruder culture
and depraved traditions. These will get intense everytime they showcase their humble
ways and simple nature. Some rue on memories of matriarchy! Matriarchy my foot.
In an overwhelmingly primitive society (that left even Vivekananda baffled)
these are earnest hallucination of grandeur, property transfer has much cunning
reasons some may give impression of matriarchy. Clearly the socalled matriarchy
followed all the primitiveness of patriarchy, nothing remotely enlightening as
is being posited. This blogger has maintained that cunning elite women have
been positioning themselves by exaggerating gender matters to usurp advantage,
and have been making attempts to impress West by playing victim while the reality
being they are firmly hinged to primitive world and are active participant of the
structure that nurtures and thrives on misery. Indeed a just society will be
based on gender equality. While the pertinent question here is the victim’s
name can be revealed because poor people, that too the most marginalised and traditionally
brutalised, are not expected to have privacy? The law is not meant to be applied
in these cases, by the prejudiced police and disgraceful media. That caste is
major pattern in these despicable shows is sought to be censored.
Meanwhile Pavan Verma, who has
carefully calibrated his career on upward trajectory (nothing wrong in the
arena of market driven ecstasy, as also it is a justification on ordained self,
but when it is meant to assert the mainstream narrations and pander to power
then we know the clever fellow is aiming big. Urdu connection with muslim elite
gives him serious gravy points, and claims of much sought feudal refinity) is
ruing the trolls. Trolls are generally aimed at the powerful by the mass
(atleast the one who can use Net and can understand English, the numbers of
which are increasing exponentially), there maybe some excesses but it is
nothing compared to the nepotistic and irresponsible elite. Get used to it
Vermaji, if you can vouch for freedom of expression for the market media (and
whatever is served as infotainment) then you should have no problem with
trolls. To be able to abuse is part of free expression, indeed that probably is
only viable option of marginalised/powerless, and yes nothing is sacred. Not the
least religion, this relentless march of ‘sentiment being hurt’ is curtailing
the freedom. Blasphemy has no place in free world, you cannot freeze anything in
timespace. The reason why enlightened societies/people should be worried of primitiveness
encroaching in the name of religious expressions that seeks to bring in
discriminations and prejudices in the name of faith. This blogger will not
prefer provocation of faith for the sake of freedom, but if it is discriminatory
and reduces the space then it will be resisted. Patronising Britain has always
got it wrong, muslim london mayor (indeed his lack of decency towards Corbyn points
to serious hedonistic tilt, that seem to define some who use muslim card as
liberal) doesn’t help the case, they nurture and export the vilest kind of
people. Worst of religious ways living in harmony is a truce not tolerance, and
a degradation that constantly eats into ethical core. The result is never positive.
It’s like inmates of jail, enforced and indeed menace to freedom. Societies don’t
become syncretic in degradation, it is like Indianisation that will see harmonious
thriving mediocrity, numbed to all kinds of nonsense and exploited in the name
of faith. It doesn’t pass the scrutiny of logic and enlightened
understanding. Religion seems to be having a free run and severely degrading all
that is valued in free world. Verma claims, after much mainstream chicanery of greatness,
to be “inheritors of a refined and ancient civilisation”. This is the kind of garbage
that is being fed for too long now, and many have made career by acquiescing to
these in well-orchestrated debauched connection that very effortlessly reinforces
camaraderie. Thankfully internet has given voice to people, and yes these vicious
responses are only tip of ever increasing iceberg. The reason why political/social/media
elite are viciously targeted.
Meanwhile Raghuram Rajan has come
out with a gem “It is because money has no odour, because it is the great
equaliser, that so many people across history have been able to acquire
resources and invested them to make the world we live in…Rather than
prohibiting the use of money and wealth, let us think about increasing
society’s tolerance for its use.”. There was a study done on careers with high
level of psychopathic behaviour. CEOs, lawyers and mediapersons were on the top of the
list, that includes everyone of Indian socio-political elite spectrum, then there
are people who exist in buffer zone like market driven NGOs, writers, sellers…with
potential to be successful CEOs err psychopaths. When someone at IIT shifts towards
IIM that is a clear indication of psychopathic intentions, Rajan like any well-meaning
ignorant economist is beyond redemption. Now the question here is will capitalist
torchbearer Rajan play his sickular liberal card effectively and enthuse the camaraderie
that pseudo commies Kasthuri&Sons desperately crave. All eyes on golden
lords of tirupathi, only gods can understand these murky devious world, or
atleast the squatters for god sake and matrimony!!
Brutal murders are extreme but
persistent realities of the traditionally marginalised sections ie dalit (this
reference can only be used in context to discrimination any other attempt
should be quelled, as it is clever attempt by the elite to normalise and gain
credibility tethered to their primitive realities, also an attempt to liken it
with Blacks in US so as to equate these degradations and gain as patronisers
and conscience keeper) but there are brutal discriminations all the way along.
It’s a ruthless society that tries to cover itself in high sounding nonsenses of
‘culture’ that Vermaji spews, and now ‘unity in diversity’ crap. Meanwhile market
has taken the baton from the realities of primitiveness and very viciously trying
to fit it into modernity. The technology and talent subservient to selling and
buying, the exploitation and exploitative mindset incentivised.
There was a
video circulating in media of a youngster being tied to the window of train
bogie, that could have quite easily got him killed, and brutally beaten. The
reason being his father drank water from their bottle, and yes they knew each
other. Obviously you don't become community by staying together, Kasthuri&Sons will vouch for that. Why would anyone have such brutal response to something as innocuous as sharing water? Media
will not explain these and they need not we Indians know it, westerners may do sudharshan kriya for world peace and turn a blind eye on the primitive realities
that defines this society in meditative silence.
The brutal realities of caste
will not vanish away, water being elemental part of squatter ensconced puke purity
that is taught as part inheritors of a “refined and ancient civilisation” (Vermaji).
That the ‘demographic dividends’ had problem with sharing water with elderly
man, and in turn nearly killed his son, shows deeper malaise in society. And yes they could have thrashed or broken bones, that banal act would never be reported. It is this impunity (as also presence of camera) that exhibits the audacity of depravity so common place in this land of mahatamas and pundits. The one that is justified and celebrated by the mediocre Indian elite, and here the fellow goes moist over trolls. If someone
asks how to caricaturise Indian elite, I would put them as a hybrid of Trump
and Kim (North Korea). Everything about them can be found here, the despicable in
modern, the high sounding nonsense in ordained reality, the hereditary mediocrity
in money and scientific achievements (read nuclear/missiles) in buffoonery. The scenario that entitled create as they dispense patronage.
