Morons as artists


The allegations raised, indeed it is a widely reported and well documented crime, by actress is of serious nature (kidnapping and molestation). That this is happening in this age and time with impunity, that too of a public figure, is shocking. And then there are buffoons who speak as if nothing matters and that anything and everything can be manipulated, with money, power and entrenched patriarchy as alibi. Cases of such serious nature must be fast tracked. 

Kerala always shocks, it persistently makes earnest attempts to get in touch with primitive selves. It’s a failed society that was given all the opportunity the best of the world had to offer. While societies like Scandinavian countries, Japan, South Korea so on when given these high level of HDI, specifically opportunity to educate oneself, use healthy body to create healthy exciting mind to explore and innovate and use wealth to evolve into better selves, Kerala is a disgrace. There cannot be any hope, even bright youngsters will be trapped and soon be co-opted into putrid pit as has been happening for ages, and you exaggerate it to pan India level and you know that Indians really don’t measure up and as a society there is a foundational issue. It’s a society in moral vacuum and diseased with ego that has highest estimate of itself, a dubious narration that is being fed by popular medium, pseudo intellectuals and irresponsible cunning opinion makers. Swami Vivekananda, evolved hindu seer and an enlightened man, was correct in his estimate of Kerala. A madhouse.

In the sabarimala issue it was Castetva feudal force Congress that led the path for the fringe in Hindutva (the market driven section is being promoted by market media. The mainstream still is, to be fair, ambivalent and tried to acquaint with best of Hinduism, futile attempt as Castetva has struck the degradation point to spiral it down. Shrewd) and gave them strength by showcasing possibilities of devious narrow communal politics as they, as is the wont, sought to capitalise on opportunity. Meanwhile the zombie like people who have been selectively bred to cannibalise that they have started to eat themselves. It is a sorry sight. What kind of society is this? Most societies do have these problems but the core has some moral compass, value compassion and nurture excellence but Indians (like barren expanding land of monster mullahs) have no core to value, it is an assimilation of opportunists who create self righteous exaggerations as it suits. And so as Indians get literate, healthy, and acquire money and modern gadgets the blessing is set grow. They will seek the worst, and to validate they will scrap the bottom of other societies. It is in the degraded ecosystem that they thrive. Indians must be critically evaluated.

Mark the scoundrels


These are Congress (INC) leaders in Kerala displaying their cunning self to capitalise on people’s misery as the hapless people try to negotiate the primitiveness and discriminatory nature of sites, posturing as faith, through judiciary. They have, as is the insidious nature, calculated political gain here, as they have in last many decades aligning with extreme muslim organisations (playing minority, wherein in Kerala muslims don’t really fit in the tag of minority. Arguably one of the richest sections these organisations regressively work on religion as political power, therefore communalising and dividing the society while severely marginalised people facing caste atrocities and discriminations, as also tribes, have suffered untold misery and exploitations). They are protesting against egalitarian attempts of society to civilise sites of religion that is known for its horrendous past and moral dubiousness, and have over the decades trapped people into a zombie like state wherein literacy and nutrition haven’t really produced better humans. Kerala is case study on limitations of Indians, and their incapacity to be better humans despite all the possible opportunities. They are programmed to drivel to the basest. Casteist and primitive Hindus match and align quite easily with racist white Christians and monster mullahs, Islamists. As they fatten and are exposed to modern amenities they bring in the worst, and persistently try to force others into the putrid pit in the garb of faith, and if that is questioned on the ground of basic idea of justice then they will cleverly, without any irony, use avenues provided by democracy and egalitarian frameworks to squeeze in their debauched values -hence attitudes, that works to undermine basic principles of democracy and in time these degrade institutions meanwhile leading to backlash from common people, thus reactive forces gain grounds. Therefore, it is very important that principle of justice is upheld that keeps in mind the most vulnerable and exploited. Any discrimination based on the identities of race, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientations is injustice and violation of basic human rights. These are objective realities of a human, that he or she is born with. Religion is NOT an objective reality. Humans are not born with or into a religion. These are human construct. Nation too is a human construct but it has to be adhered for administrative reasons. Religion therefore is a choice, is an idea to negotiate life. It is not an identity one is born with, and any attempt to push this as such will be strongly resisted. Religious fundamentalists (monster mullah see blasphemy in leaving islam which is to be dealt with death. Such is the inhuman values that they profess, also putting severe pressure on inter faith alliance thus a free thriving society), as also casteists (like Gandhi, thus against religion conversion as also caste as blessing), have been manoeuvring religion as an identity. These have been getting enthusiastic support from fattened fluffs in West, who having no connection with realities or context of common people negotiate with the feudal power brokers and pretenders. Religion if seen as an identity is a negation of being human, hence humanity.         
                
Coming back to depraved opportunistic congress leaders in Kerala they belong to a political party that has ruled the country and state for many decades. Apart from the regressive social context these leaders emerge from and thrive in they have, by the virtue of being in policy making positions, severely degraded the society in last many decades. They provided deviant ecosystem and nurtured values by extending patronages thus infecting society. This therefore gets reflected in art and culture too, in the mainstream dealings and is thus normalised. They have been known to perform untold atrocities during emergency in the state in 1970s. The leaders involved in mass killing (particularly of idealistic youths) and atrocities on common people (like the shrewd temple hopper Karunakaran), were not surprisingly sided and promoted. Congress leaders have been regressive force in Kerala, and like in the centre, were voice of feudals and casteists with a penchant for mullah feeding (at the expense of common muslims) that was choreographed to offset the crude values and debased selves. 
Congress, and its allies, in Kerala is known for some severely degraded people, feudal arrogance and egoistic entitlement, that will make you shudder. To further themselves they could go to any extend, even use innocent common people to score against rival within the party. Take the case of ISRO spy case wherein an innocent and highly dedicated talented scientist’s life was ruined. And it is because of his admirable uncommon tenacity that he was able to prove his innocence after twenty long years of soul depleting battle with tardy judicial system. Nation needs to recognise his sacrifice, and must be suitably awarded. There are hundreds and thousands like him who have been ‘taken care’ by these third-rate people posturing as leaders who also manipulate, misuse and politicize bureaucracy into their own reflection as warring corruption driven incompetence. Think of how, let’s say HAL, was purposely neglected while they amass millions through juicy arms deal. It’s a world of live and let live. You do your sh*t we do our sh*t, it makes a tolerant diversity, and when push comes to shove we go licking. If you delve into depths of these you will know how opportunism works and how blessed people sharpen their talent in nepotism, blatant corruption and wanton greed while posturing as pious god fearing gandhians and liberal secular stars meanwhile people slip further into misery.         

Post script: It was Communist who brought in land reforms and put pressure on feudal forces (the first elected communist government in the world was unjustly dismissed by casteist feudals at the centre). The egalitarian nature of policies made marginalised and exploited people assertive, that in turn created space for better schools, health services and attempted at vibrant society (its different matter that the society reckoned itself into stagnant pit). Meanwhile Congress at the centre was scuttling these matters, if not land reforms atleast stringent inheritance laws would have helped to balance amazingly iniquitous and unequal society. The problems we see in India, of low HDI and virulent casteism -inhuman value system, is the product of irresponsible ways over the decades. Hindutva is only a minor extension of Castetva.

Beleaguered society evaluates itself

This picture is that of women marching in small town of Deorala (in Rajasthan) in 1987 against sati crime as also religious rituals and celebration that followed wherein attempts were made to convert the site into temple as has been the tradition for centuries. Many of temples around here have such gory depraved foundations and traditions percolated as values. We needn’t elaborate on traditions and rituals associated with these sites of faith across the subcontinent, it’s been locations of amazing level of discriminations and debauchery. What is amazing in this picture is that most woman in this region are illiterate and face oppressive patriarchy add to it one of the lowest HDI index that makes it worst for women. But they understand what is wrong and stood to fight against it. Meanwhile men, the socalled rajput (a caste reference that was very much supported by post-colonial British angst -hence a source for credibility for Indian mediocre minions in the constant quest to salvage pride (arguably the only meaning in life for third rate people who unfortunately have usurped the narration), into some kind of carriers of bravery and valour. It happens only in this primitive society -these genetic transfer of human characteristics, that too for select few within the society!! No wonder it remains wasted pit, and has been an easy outing for invaders, not to forget few british merchants who sucked out for two centuries while mythical warriors scratched crotch and morphed into excellent masseurs of colonial masters meanwhile tightly holding on to fictions of fierce, that arguably exhibited itself through sterile sadistic pleasures on weaker -this ably facilitated by shloka spewing squatters delving deeper into moral vacuum of humanity. As is the case every reference of grandeur that one hallucinates falls flat in the face of reality. The spectre of delusions of omnipotence, fed and nurtured by deviant nature of social construct, that thrived after independence, is now producing its little chickens that are ready for cockfights in the fertile delusions of market media at the expense of common people and egalitarian values. 

That this society always scraps the bottom is clear from this picture of few hundred women protesting against verdict of SC to end discrimination of women in temple. They are beyond irony. In psychology when you identify with oppressor it is referred to as Stockholm syndrome. What do you do when you have large numbers identifying with discriminators?  It’s a failure of society. In contrast to Rajasthan this is Kerala where HDI is quite high and is proudly showcased as redemption in itself. Again proving that Indian society, unlike war torn regions around the world, is limited by its own limitations. It is almost impossible for literacy to become education, just a means to ensure easy earning. Surfeit nutrition needn’t produce healthy individuals but virile to breed. To mask their limitations, they dig themselves to deepest pits known to human societies, all the egalitarian values will be taken to its lowest possible limits for mediocres to evaluate themselves. Lacking compassion and any known talent these conspire to downgrade standards, and human values. Religion therefore will be moral vacuum devoid of compassion or understanding meanwhile safe pits for fragile egos to nurture into brutes. Sports will be stupid game of cricket with superficial anecdotes binding lack of skills. Art will be third rate movies that keeps digging, meanwhile churning icons of greed that set to trap people into buying as also market driven aspirational standards. Market charlatans tang with sycophantic leaders (in the last many decades these were airdropped onto hapless people, without any mass base except feudal atavistic connections) to severely undermine the democracy, while valued attitudes were selectively cultivated for patronages. Nepotism can be liberal as also socialistic suiting the heuristic of loot. 

In short you can do whatever but still home stretch to high moral grounds at your pace while people suffer. While they negotiated with colonial forces and awe struck with ideas of nonviolence it was common people who suffered, and now they negotiate globalised world for GDP its again common people who suffer while Ambani adds one more storey to Attila emblematising Indian mindset. It's on the cushion of bodies of millions of people that they have created their edifice of grandeur. Grand ancient temples are not benign space but source of power struggle and depravities, to segregate, to exploit and nurture depraved value system. For centuries these very forces denied common people entry to temple, and needed egalitarian compassionate narrations to break this sinister depraved sanctum semantics. If these were stringently dealt and these wasted squatters smoked out at the onset it wouldn't have putrefied to this, it's a sickness that has overwhelmed the society (picture herein of legendary Periyar leading temple entry movement in 1930s).    
  
More than two decades back I would write many exams. One of them had essay writing. I recall writing about a comparison between Rajasthan and Kerala, arguing that Kerala’s HDI hides sickness.  Rajasthan, I saw, had more potential and vibrancy than stagnant pit of Kerala (it was also the time when ISRO scientist -essentially replicators, participated in all humbleness in rituals to personally please gods for boychild miracles to enter their respective wife’s womb -imagine the horror if the blessing decide to enter neighbor's wife! Poor Radhakrishnan was only following hallowed traditions of Indian scientific mind, as also connecting to aspirational behaviour demanded by sycophants and primitives as political masters). But I guess I was naïve, eventhough stagnant pit is an ever-expanding reality as Indians negotiate literacy and become healthier, still one can but admire women in Rajasthan who came out to protest thirty years ago against what is essentially hopeless situation with overwhelming odds. This in contrast to these women in Kerala who negate their own reality. What can be more tragic than this? It’s an amazing failure of society, only points to deeper malaise that thrive as modern amenities land as if by miracle. Meanwhile the elephant dung in the room is misogynist world of monster mullah and modesty sacks transported by Saudi barbarians to across the world, that is now fed with much care by munchausen syndrome by proxy fattened fluffs in West (this surely cannot end well). With such low reference uncouth around the world have ready reference to fall back on, hence this belligerence that is by-product of competing zealous patriarchy unleashed by sinister nature of religion, isolated from the egalitarian roots of faith, and you can see this very soon playing out in Kerala ably assisted by market media and its insecure cunning power structures. One sincerely hopes these will not negate the ideas of equality and liberty that common marginalised people fought for to assert their rights, the ruffians at the door must be dealt with law and order. They make valiant attempts as market choice but truth must prevail. Faith cannot be conduit to exploitations, discriminations and prejudices. Instead of source of compassion, egalitarian values and open minded understanding anachronistic religions are becoming a nuisance.
