An interesting development

UttarPradesh (UP) is largest state in India and with a population of more than 200million people –if UP was a separate country it would be 5th largest country in the world, with a population that is more than that of Pakistan. These statistics are mindboggling, and when it comes to numbers any statistics is mindboggling in Indian context. That this blogger is just one of the 1.3billon people i.e. 16% of world population, in 2.5% of land area of the world, located at somewhat lower end of teeming millions in varying degree of miseries viciously competing in overcrowded spaces should also put things in perspective when people see Indians as just another one. And to be elected leader, from this overcrowded exploited context, of a mega state like UP at a relatively young age, that too from an ordinary background with no relatives/contacts at high places or nepotism and money power at work but by sheer grit, hardwork and commitment is amazing. What makes it worth mentioning is that he is also religious head i.e. temple priest, of a well-known temple, not because of hereditary incompetent reasons but achieved by crossing primitive casteist barriers in a society that is notoriously nurtured by despicable elites on casteist lines to ooze benefits when so desired. It is amazing and refreshing that he is able to cross these, also a reflection that given an option people would like to civilize themselves and remove these degraded shackles, unlike the effete elite pupating in power centres sucking on to the ease of nepotism driven camaraderie. Though this blogger is stridently against religious practices without any egalitarian frame or enlightened ways but considering contemporary degraded realities of this nation this is an amazing achievement, remarkable feat indeed. Therefore I congratulate the framework that has support these egalitarian ways and traditions, atleast in its limited sense in what is still largely a primitive society.   

   

Yogi Adityanath is unique happening in a nepotism driven corrupt society, and that he was unanimously supported by more than 300elected representatives is truly incredible. It has –as a common person, put my faith in democracy to some extent, and that these things are possible in degraded society like India without any caste or money power other nepotistic affiliations. Meanwhile look at INC winning in Punjab, and who do we have? An erstwhile ‘royal’ sucking on to power and working on status quo fault lines, in clear camaraderie with exaggerated lutyen’s vermins wallowing in its own muck. Clearly people have been trapped in a status quo, and that is what these people are good at trapping people in their misery and benefitting from it. That it is still happening in a relatively egalitarian society like Punjab (thanks largely to Sikhism) is shocking. And who is the other Congress ‘star’? A cricketer (that in itself is a degradation, showcasing manipulation and least of sporting skills), party hopper with no moral bearing but opportunism and not the least to note the fellow is fixture in a comedy show (and since refuse to quit it despite being appointment as a Minister. The utmost contempt is not really baffling, its a trait that is nurtured in feudal frame). But I must add in all fairness the fellow is a genius when it comes to talking non stop, truly. This is what democracy, nurtured and sustained by elite driven Congress, have been producing all these decades. Clearly people are not having options, it is also shocking that unlike many region around the country no credible regional powers have emerged to challenge these ‘national’ vestiges and wasted people. 

That large numbers of common people have voted against the religious stranglehold of mullahs in UP need to be noted. Machiavellians and clever feudal casteist based in power controlled comforts have been dividing people in whatever ways possible. It helps these pretentious when the society is kept degraded, as it benefits their devious ways to control, and most significantly it helps in thriving of irresponsible and mediocre ways both these aids in wanton corruption without any discernable talent or claim whatsoever (look at arrogant trash like Aiyerji or Digvijayji, even after having done significant damage they are retained showcases amazing lack of leadership, or very likely, knowing this section, a plain contempt for common people…that miserable Indians will realise their mistake and come back to the open arms of casteist feudals for security. It’s a frame they ardently hope will work but surely should not. Punjab has shown that beleaguered people have no options). Common people, specifically the poor and marginalised muslims, are tired of these religion driven arbitrators who are keeping them in tight control, while casteist centrist and elite feudals have been feeding mullahs to keep common people as vote bank flock, meanwhile concomitantly encouraging them to be in extreme ways to slot as distinct identity. Clearly these are having significant polarising effect over the decades. Despite these risks people have in large numbers shown inclinations to break this self-defeating mould is significant. It is now the duty of elected leaders to respect these, particularly the plight of marginalised muslims in their fight against exploitative regressive mullah –who were nurtured and fed by casteist centrist and nepotistic communal feudals. Like the caste exploited and marginalized hindus the plight of poor muslims is also truly heart breaking. These are the sections that are being kept under control by vicious elite, and not very ironically in the lowest of human living standards, significantly contributing to India’s place in the lowest of pile in HDI. It is a hell that is maintained for benefit of elite section with a strong international kindred link like BBC/TheGuardian, they posture to the world their ever rising high moral grounds. BBC needs to apologise for providing space to casteist scoundrels like Vinod Sharma, he masquerades as ‘senior’ journalist. This fellow was caught saying in RS TV that caste is important identity that decides the “aukath” of a person (his words). HT promoted by Congress sycophants with Gandhian hooligan tradition bearing Birla litters at the helm have nurtured this ecosystem for these to pupate, in a strange irony this scoundrel is also appointed member of NCM, beat that!...and now aims for RS and Padma awards, that is the trajectory of these parasites while they suck on the free goodies, quid quo pros and nudge n wink camaraderie as they degrade institutions posturing bearers of higher values! Meanwhile ayatollahs at BBC are also conducting a debate on “What is appropriate punishment for blasphemy?” Such a bunch of fluffs. 

Yogi Adityanath is a significant happening and by no small means an achievement of Indian democracy in all its lacunas, and these lacunas will try to showcase itself as extreme hindu right exploiting the grassroot awakening and backlash of neglect and perceived appeasement tries to wrest the narration from casteist centrist and nepotism driven feudal machiavellians ruling the roost for last many decades. It is a sign of degraded society that positives will take time to establish, very likely will never ever even get a chance in competing regressive narration and subterfuge skills. Nevertheless India is changing despite strong tug from the past.     

No special relation with truth, not at all

To start with not all religions are same but all religions are expressions of power. Aim of democratic society is to negate this power structure and liberate individuals. But unfortunately varying degree of inegalitarian ways has prevented these, and regressive trends and insecurities have seen to that people are hoarded in the name of religion. Fiction based identities that are increasingly taking individuals away from humanity while religion driven arbitrators haggle for pound of flesh. This is now being claimed as human right. It is being suggested that religion has some special relation with truth. Probably in the beginning there were sincere attempts by some enlightened souls but now, in the contemporary dangerously polarising world, it doesn’t. It really doesn’t and the line will have to be drawn, vehemently so, and should be the immediate concern. Lots of hard won egalitarian ideas and humanitarian spaces are being lost in this religion driven balderdash. Religion is just a structure that is being passed hereditarily to coalesce people into collective amnesia and cruder ways, and is very clearly constricting the individual, very dearly the expressions that make him or her an individual. The absences of humans in the name of faith and tradition as also the collective presence as subservient follower is having a detrimental impact in the matters that gravely concern society and the world. It has crossed from being a nuisance and is now source of serious ramification.

If faith is based on questioning, contemplation and attempting to connect with surrounding that exude empathy and concern then it makes positive contribution to the society, meanwhile expressions of these deeply connected ways are how diversity makes it presence. Something that is followed as strictures negates this at the outset itself. Degraded ways are not how diversity is understood and if it is not protested then the intrusion into egalitarian ways happens. Religions, with its varying degree of ludicrous ways, some in amazing level of primitiveness while others atleast make some sincere attempts (the influential Pope comes to mind but he is very much restricted by the very religion), is making this world dangerous place to live in, and critically doesn’t hold any promise whatsoever to challenges that face the world and has very clearly killed all possibilities as an individual. It is route to fatalism and assured mythical end. A mind nurtured under religious myths and fantastic fictions will necessarily be insular, narrow minded, lacking any inquisitiveness and unconnected to reality while passion is wasted in searching rationale to miracle driven texts and narrations. There is no future here, and if ever, it cannot be something to savour and at some point will go vicious. It is in the nature of myths when faced with reality, it can only be fatalist. Undue respect to oppressive authority, inability to critically question devious elders, incapacitated to lambast chicaneries and decipher ethical absences herein is ingrained as appreciable mindset and tradition achieved through heavy tempering by degraded religions and appalling crude ways. 

While religion gnaw into humanity there is another deceit going on with some claiming as atheist, quite assuredly humanists, who go about scouting religious tolerance by siding, and with ham handed self-assured arrogance that comes with fluff –no skin in the game, the worst of the kind of religious expressions. Cleverly placing themselves as protector of underdogs whilst rightly questioning the majority bigots in the regions they are placed. The concerns of wide populace get diluted into the hands of these increasingly influential bigots and xenophobes who are spreading to most of the part of the world that carries much of our hope for future. While those posturing as humanitarians refuse in their native arrogance to even conduct basic ethical scrutiny to what is being supported as religion as this is none of their concern and does spoil the narration. This arrogant section, some posturing as intellectuals, pegs its high humanitarian concerns into the inhuman. Thus it reels into varied kind of degradations fiercely competing for space. In the melee the issues that matters get relegated. The loss is of humanity and irretrievable hard fought ways of expressing life in all its completeness and concern is becoming unbearable. What is also being lost is inquisitive fresh ways of looking at and understanding things, rational logical ways of dealing with matters. Religion is increasingly capturing the angst driven narrations of being discriminated while furiously maintaining and intimidating with counter narration that negates all that is rational about our understanding of world. Religion as the defining identity of human is worst of the outcome. People who should be living unobtrusively with other and welcoming to the needy have become threatening and cruel in a way that only religion can achieve and reason. Fictions and myths have started to severely intrude the reality. Systematic ways of enquiry and critical thinking is curtailed for total obedience into constructed realities that claims to be true since it is specially handed over from some supreme mythical power. There is nothing to offer except misery and fantastically irresponsible conceptions, of other world fictions at the expense of this world. They take the life out of living and convert them into scripture driven zombies with absolutely no connection with nature but an exalted place for themselves in the universe. Such ignorance was laughable sometime back but now these are seriously impacting us. What religion (particularly the miracle driven egotists) needs to get into its bloated head is that human beings never had any entitlement for anything on earth nor does its self-conceived god figure in grand scheme of life. They are too insignificant in the face of truth.    

 Religions must be dealt severely and kept in constant check in its corner. There is, and there never was, any connection of religion with truth. Each religious person must be scrutinised, claims cannot be hid under the guise of faith or capricious traditions. If it is discriminatory, creates segregation and dehumanise humans then it must be dealt strictly as if the whole of humanity depends on it. It really does. Few centuries ago, with limited understanding of mystery filled world, religion had encompassing role, and yes also created much misery as is the case with any fiction –it can be manipulated by powerful. Ignorance is the easiest to manipulate. Religion did had an element of spiritualism as also compassion filled practical aspects to it as it was not much centralised hence easily complement common people’s lives away from the hold. It had strong element of common place common sense unless ofcourse the power structures were established and control were created by vested interests over people. But now as the understanding of the world has exploded exponentially therefore to hold on to ways that contradicts evidences, or even basic practical things, cannot be seen in the egalitarian frame of choices. It is not ignorance it is denying of knowledge and understanding. It is a violation of human values that undoubtedly has control and play of brutal power in it that masquerades as tradition, indeed many a times it is an expression of plain arrogance that expects world to be treated in a special way. It causes dissension and accepting these in the monolith of faith gives space for regressive ways. It is like a poison being introduced in the system, as the little dose spreads it creates reaction and excites reactionary revivalist forces. The outcome is rarely positive and ends up expressions of sick minds competing for space as hapless people seek security in stable or seek sense of control through nostalgic utopia. There is no hope or possibilities here, it is barren world that seeks to push miserable people into its cold grip. It will have to be resisted.      

It is also not surprising that when a person takes religion seriously, becomes pious, there is a sense of unease and lack of jubilation indeed there is a dread. Clearly it is not syncing with the contemporary understanding of the world. It is a retrograde step that ends up in serious mental health issues and depending on nature of religions on offer could range from sense of grandeur to hallucination about after life. If you negate the contemporary reality and insights in the quest for world through religious doctrines or traditions then it is persistence on superstition and choosing to be dumb. It is a disconnect to the world, indeed to one’s own mental faculties, a psychopathic quest that in its collective form and established doctrines has dangerous consequences. Providing space for these degradations in the name of diversity is negating the humanity in each one of us.

 Psst....Casteist centralist effete indian elite have been playing local guardian for some time now. Without any understanding of socialism or secularism these rear end plugged casteists showcase themselves as kindred souls and awestruck the world with liberal thoughts and bleeding diversity (they do exchange their smelly plugs if that is how you could tell). Meanwhile hopefully some of these are evicted from RS TV at the earliest. They shouldn’t be given public expense refuges. Need to earn it boy, the days of manipulations and pandering to delhi based sycophantic unconnected-to-people-connected-to-family leaders are over…
