Castetva forces and Hindutva forces, on a death spiral

          Almost every issue nowadays seems to be aspiring for high moral grounds, and this is something too common when unhinging with reality has a tradition to it. And when it is matter of wrangling for the narration to advantage so as to creep into power and licks these becomes vicious. Meanwhile as they go for jugular these doesn’t seem to interest common people –busy as they are in their own drudgery, an exploitative system that is nurtured by the same warring forces. People are trapped in lackadaisical ways and apathy that thrive on nepotism, corruption and all the moral disgrace that is transferred from sanctum as entitlement and attitude. Castetva forces are clearly the subset of Hindutva forces, this embarrassing reality they are acutely aware, that common link to sanctum moral vacuum. Some even claim to be atheist, like for instance this fellow Guha –who ticks all the boxes of degradation from Gandhi to cricket to amazing turn of sentence in English that tickles the right spot to grab our history, hence deviously claim an authority of our narration. For the same reason he is nurtured, taken care, fed and fattened. Atheist is a laughable irony, if a fellow with Nazi symbol on his head claim to be pacifist it will be scandalous as much as kukluxklan is not the benign “other side”(Trump). But somehow shockingly castetva forces are posited as benign, and this image is judiciously constructed for western gaze. Atheist Guha (an anachronism that will give “mahatma gandhi” run for money) is brave (‘sincere’ is a better word...to understand the context you need to double back two decades!!) to drive down the countryside, quite obviously noting the grandness of temples on the way and finally concluding that plastics are problem. I am told the fellow is an erudite enchanting raconteur among castetva posturing liberals, it adds the flavour in market attuned weekend get together.

Castetva forces in the last many decades, with ample boost from state might, infrastructure and money, have usurped the narration and have severely undermined all the progressive ideas coalesced over centuries that formed the soul of this society despite serious and persistent moral incursions from sanctum, they cleverly cleaved themselves into high moral grounds by working out English skills and miming western pointers as liberals, and significantly, to showcase their kindred side started patronising fundamentalist muslims (this dogmatic elite with extreme religious take is well fed and domesticated as a reference to bleeding heart), characteristically and as inhuman, the intense appeasement to the select furthered misery on common people. Vicious regressive muslim leaders were fed to keep the flock together and brutalize into patriarchy and segregation, so that it makes it easier to negotiate. Communalisation of society was not their concern, occasional praise from West (like for instance Bush) on domestication skills was seen as pat on the back while people suffered and the society spiralled down. As is the case with a section that traditionally lacked qualities of empathy and are incapacitated on compassion actions were always calculated to keep the power and narration under control. This degradation is taken to such an extreme extend so as to serve their purpose of keeping the divisiveness crude and boiling.

Divisiveness, and keeping people segregated, is where they truly thrive, whether Casteism –in all its sanctum crudeness replicating that into modern frames, or through selectively promoting and nurturing sickening patriarchy and higher claims in religion, particularly Islam. This is attitudinal trait of people who are incapable to see humans as humans, and are severely incapacitated to see humanity. They nurture divisiveness to hold on to power and use the state machinery to exploit. If science had not progressed this far and societies not scrutinised critically these scoundrels would have even classified “dalits” as some different species, and shown liberal attributes of awe inspiring keenness to adopt and feed. Divisiveness is a consistent attempt towards degradation, and degraded world is what castetva forces look forward to as it hides their incompetence, in the melee of high moral positioning for suffering masses all kind of dubious people with minimum skills, insulated from stakes in the fate, stampede in. Amazingly crude patriarchal ways were nurtured as minority (this narration of religious identity as minority has severely degraded the society), cruder forms of personal laws at the expense of common people were supported by the state that was run over by castetva brutes looking for credibility. Predominantly muslim region of Kashmir was patronised by giving special status, at the expense of Indian people as also beleaguered innocent people in Kashmir as they suffer the consequences of ghettoization and radicalisation, as also making it extremely risky for the security personnel –who mostly come from poorer sections.  While the state could use its might to capture Goa, why were such measures not initiated even when Indian defence force had upper hand? The leaders of nation are duty bound to protect the strategic interests of the nation. That they weren’t able to and the future generation are facing the consequences speaks of keenness of positioning over national interests. That they could play around with security and strategic needs of the nation so as to appear kindred is scandalous. What is a deeper malaise is the characteristic desultory mindset of taking common people for granted. The audacity is such that the ‘islamic’ nation (that has horrendous blasphemy law, and a tenuous connection with democracy where non-state actors –fanatic mongrels, are fed and nurtured) in the neighbourhood instead of dealing with extreme caution are seen as scoring point for secularism among these hideous positioners (brutes like Aiyer takes it to next level). Having cultural and sporting link is a different matter but this kind of positioning by political leaders as was also seen during dictator Mushraf's visit is sickening. One wonders if terrorist attacks in Mumbai had occurred in Lahore or New York how people would have reacted? It is matter of serious concern that the mastermind is not brought to justice yet.

As is the case these apathy to the plight happens on daily basis in this society, the system is nurtured in such a manner that it puts least premium on Indian life, it is cheapest and negotiable.The entitled arrogance is such that they expect common people to take all kinds of nonsense. While people suffer atrocities, violence and an apathetic state (that is reflected in skewed social indices, as lackadaisical system thrives) the elite section settles into higher and unreachable moral grounds. Meanwhile as they dwell in higher and higher moral grounds constantly awe striking the West their vicinity is kept purified and insulated from reality, as has been the case inside the sanctum. Though common people face violence and violations on daily basis any incursions into their space is seen as a threat to the nation. The pursuit for purity is such that it leaves one flabbergasted, and wondering, whether this is emerging from this society. It surely is a mirage, if not anything else. Take the recent case of privacy issue by SC, it is hailed internationally as highest moral grounds possible by humans to achieve. Evidently everyone is wonderstruck. While Indian media seeks the eye watering nuances of son’s redemption, the hereditary legacy is, we are told, in safe hands. These are the sentimental craps where Indians sparkle, indeed another of degradation that elite sections constantly peruse to keep common people trapped in the pit. It subdues appropriate emotions and sedates rational thoughts, therefore good hunting ground for manipulations. The glaring fact is that the Indian judiciary is one of the least competent and suffers from horrendous apathy which is legendry. Justice delayed is justice denied, but this one even tries to redefine ‘delayed’. Judges enjoy exaggerated status and opulent facilities at the expense of a society that is essentially poor with amazing level of disparities. That they are ensconced in castetva primitiveness is given sometimes shifting from liberal mask to hindutva as the situation demands, while some even moving to ridiculous and appalling worldview. System nurtures and promotes these while competence as always is an exception.  Meanwhile lawyers grow richer and richer, disgustingly a nonagenarian lawyer charges lakhs of rupees as services counted on hourly basis, put that in context to amazing level of poverty and disparity in this country as also what is the real value of “service” that he is providing? It is as if gems falls from his mouth, reality being he is a loud mouthed buffoon with high placed contacts, that he can, with his nepotistic skills, influence is the obvious reason (thankfully the fellow recently decided to retire!). Same is the case for almost all Delhi based high profile manipulative lawyers who drop in as union ministers cunningly using their powerful people privy as an advantage and negotiation lever. What kind of world is this? Why no action taken on this obvious clash of interest, as also no ceiling on earning by these legal luminaries in what is amazingly incompetent and tardy system? Coming to the issue of privacy these exists for elite section to score points and use to their advantage while for common people these are interesting theories that they have no time for.      

     

Meanwhile castetva forces, in a case of liberal atonement, have been allowing barbarians to pump in petrodollars and vicious form of religion from Saudi, in the last many decades the coastal region, specifically around Mangalore and Kerala, as also many parts of country has seen intense radicalisation that has left local population within and outside the religion terribly concerned. Number of religious structures sprouts everywhere, while people lack basic infrastructure.  Patronising by castetva forces has provided an easy opening for hindutva forces who are able to tap on people’s fear and insecurities. Apart from keeping people tied up in their misery they are divided through brutal conceptions that constantly suck away humanity from otherwise decent people. Even as egalitarian as a measure ‘reservation’, suggested to ameliorate the status of marginalised, has been cleverly used to keep people trapped in primitive conception that can be milked rather than an elevating humanistic measure that democracy occasioned. Casteist feudals masquerading as freedom fighters, essentially negotiating power at the expense of common people (who paid a very terrible price through partition), controlled the government machinery for so many decades but judiciously maintained the same exploitative structure but with added apathy. Crucial issues like land reforms (that would have surely revolutionised into equitable and empowered society) and other egalitarian measures, that sought to reduce disparities or negate brutal encroachments by casteist forces, were actively resisted. Last many decades castetva forces had a free rein as they controlled every aspect of life from birth to death, the degradation was complete. Casteist leapfrogging from sanctum replicated the same crudeness, sanctum deity was replaced with powerful family, this mindset mimed down with hierarchy as each powerful person posturing as incarnate hence expecting ego pampering. While for those masquerading liberal secularism mata became the presiding deity, all the rituals were followed with characteristic rigour, people were incidental in the scheme. Sycophancy became defining character as it trickled down to the lowest level under strict hierarchy, and in absence of any decipherable competence matters of seniority was sternly adhered to. Meanwhile, as an indication of being blessed, and as divine messengers, they also ‘chose’ people for favour; dispensing patronage was turned into a fine art wherein democratic institutions were used with flourish. Casteist plugs were checked and cross checked as the infection spread through the society as feudal Indians measured and appropriated egalitarian institutions –essentially an alien idea for a primitive society, into their deceit.                  

These also kept common people in constant anguish and desperation, as also latent animosity towards created others that sprouted all across as euphemised “communities” thrived. Barbaric islamic fundamentalists were fed with impunity or fear of consequence while divisiveness was channelized and sold as diversity; it was about time that hindutva forces were able to capitalise on this anguish and anger, further fuelled by rampant corruption and nepotism under the guise of liberal secular posturing. Casteist icons like Gandhi was appropriated into hindutva fold with such desultory ease to the chagrin and intense embarrassment of castetva forces as they scrap into emptying reservoir of manipulation space. It is a home run, and there is a perfect DNA match. 
                        

Moral degradation emanating from sanctum creates a frame that works at two levels, firstly, supplication and sycophancy to power. Secondly, subjugation and barbaric treatment of weak or those below the pecking scale, it becomes sinister when fate as ingredient is added as blessing. This feudal way is ingrained as apathy and lack of compassion. Insidiously trapped desperate people emulate this in whatever scale or circumstance they find themselves in, this desperation becomes the moral heuristic, as they fervently aspire to climb by whatever means. Meanwhile squatter sanctums are open for business, money comes pouring in as miserable people in moral vacuum bribe and penance for blessing. Capitalism with its own line of degradation and opportunist exploitation standards finds a natural ally. And through this prism all the latest technology and innovation instead of becoming opportunities for better understanding of world becomes instrument of manipulation and further consolidation of degraded worldview.    

    

Acquiescing to power, position and riches, that maybe acquired through any dubious means, (considering how exceptional ideas nurturing talents is) through entitlements or exploitation of people or natural resources, irrespective of any ethical context, is ingrained as fate. So hereditary entitlements are blessing rather than something that should be curtailed, discouraged, feel embarrassed about even as one posture for higher egalitarian claims. Dynastic politics is minor matter, when you have dynastic judiciary, business, media….wherein all the nepotistic contacts and nuances (in the absence of any professional standards these becomes crucial in negotiations) are passed on as legacy and blessing. An attempt at egalitarian would consider measures like inheritance tax or other innovative methods to suit the society but in this devious world these fortunes have sanctum sanction that is meant to perpetuate a worldview. Far from any concerns, which seriously points to lacunae, with characteristic deviousness these were factored into democracy as diversity and awe striking uniqueness. As people adore more money and power as indication of blessing, good fortune, the moral vacuum keeps widening encompassing all institutions. In this vacuum corruption, nepotism and devious means is seen as natural extension of opportunity that god has granted, and with market the synergy of degradation acquires the veneer of professionalism. Multiplying money through exploitation of people and nature is therefore common with limited competence nurtured in overwhelming mediocre ways. You can experience this all around you.

PS: They will charge exponential fees, and take education as money spinning entrepreneurial venture but don’t you even expect basic standards, forget education not even basic standards of safety. While zombie parents, authorities, stake holders who are well aware of these glaring lacunas are sedated in the stories of fate and redemptions, the messy vein clogging red threads on the wrist and amulets around wherever is an immediate solution that is suggested, ofcourse that too is charged! Afterall where else in this universe a little piece of red thread can fetch you hundreds of rupees if bought in from sanctum deviousness, and has the capacity to divert fate to any desired direction. With such blessing school authorities can do whatever. We are safe. Life goes on. 

You can replicate this case into any frame across this country, apathy will repeat
