Work will not set you free


Perception managers have only one use of reality and that is to manipulate it to their advantage. In a degraded beleaguered society with well-established cannibalistic value system these get heart wrenching. So they insist and orchestrate as work will set you free. Don’t worry about outcomes just keep working. God is watching, so you will no doubt get your dues in next life. Meanwhile charlatans and devious frog leap from sanctum ethical moral vacuum to cosy entitlements as foreseer and arbitrators. There are also constant celebrations of higher possibilities that is ofcourse limited by their own limitations. They also, with riveting purpose, emulate liberal values from west, hinting also at modernity. It’s a compelling charade if you catch the nuance. Meanwhile keep the common people occupied in their misery, drivel into them their fate that is so tenuously hinged to largesse extended. Also, constantly degrade since they blossom in muck. Standards are therefore always kept low (check mediocre movies exalted as art and stupid game cricket as sport) while entry carefully calibrated. Enterer is constantly kept in check by reminders of fate, that could easily be turned into deep shit. Low standards create manipulative space hence are potent weapon for reiterating and perpetuating the sanctum sanctioned morally dubious value system, that works as the deep nature of state. Every society has marketeers but in here they are the core to which politics, business, media etc. coalesce to perpetuate the deep nature of society. The worst of capitalism without any innovation or competence is the model here. Crony capitalism produced millionaires, little trumps, in every conceivable disgusting indianised ways while millions go without basic needs. It’s a camaraderie racket that constantly faults facts, eschew social data and avoid complexities of the society. Patronising elitism with sanctum entitlement is the safest bubble from which critical issues are arbitrated. They also recruit and nurture role models as distraction to keep common people occupied in their misery while firmly tied to fate that could ofcourse be improved substantially by vigorous penance and being fleeced from their meagre living in the alter of sanctum. It’s a devious conception and there surely is no escape, atleast not in this life. These are carefully drivelled in as modern gadgets are accrued as god given good fortunes to further these primitive ways. It is no surprise that Indians value themselves as facilitators, hence whatever educational qualification or skill one may have it need to be evaluated through money and power, hence managers/MBA and bureaucracy/IAS/IPS (?!) as pinnacle of life’s ambition, also valuated as excellence and ofcourse the great mediocre Indian self-asserting urge for merit. It’s a constant strive, ofcourse passed through primitive family value system in each home, that gets it succour from sacred sanctum, to be seen as controllers of other’s fate, as someone working over others. The more people under you (or crucially, dependent on you) better the fate, definite sign of blessing. There seems to be no understanding of knowing yourself and surrounding, to create life affirming value and worth. No wonder this is a vassal state for worst kind of marketeers from across the world, and every now and then little Trumps gives thumbs up sign as success story for market media to chew on so as to redefine blessing in modern times and people to gawk at.       


Work will not set you free. No amount of meaningless dehumanising rotating of charkha will change any reality. These symbols were carefully calculated (despite valiant intellectualisation by devious gandhians) to trap common people into submitting to their divine duty, their fate, while being readied to exploit their body and slowly deliberately extinguish their souls. “By doing the same thing day after day mechanical skill may be acquired; but the mind like a mill-turning bullock will be kept going round and round a narrow range of habit. That is why, in every country man has looked down on work which involves this kind of mechanical repetition” (Rabindranath Tagore, "The Cult of the Charka"). There is no pride in degrading jobs. There is no life when body is just an instrument for extraction of profit. Hopefully automations will reduce these dehumanising jobs. Government meanwhile must initiate targeted basic income to vulnerable people, specifically marginalised women (now that many have bank accounts, as also women’s empowerment), so that people (significantly children) feel sense of security and can get some respite from dehumanising money making drudgery and institutionalized exploitation, hence can thrive to their potential as humans and not cog in machine for devious to exploit. Chatter box will chatter about where will the money come from (as if the money these market created dubious jobs get them is what their value is!), quite ironically since almost all are entitled rent seekers and sanctum blessed with minimum of skills. The elected representatives are duty bound to provide basic income to vulnerable. Money can come from natural resources (nature has not conceived billions of years of its resources to be fed to fattened ambanis and aggrawals, and to increase their blessings) or through innovative ways like income from data, inheritance tax so on. Even at international level there is a need to create fund for climate change adaptation, as the millions of vulnerable people with arguably least carbon footprint pay the price. About time to tax international financial as well as data transactions, akin to much touted Tobin tax.  

Much to the man is undue

Where honours are due


There is absolutely no reason why the highest honour of the land is not extended to Shivakumara Swamiji. Belonging to lingayat tradition, part of rich legacy of bhakti movement, initiated by saint Basava that strived for egalitarian society, stridently against caste and value system that degraded the society while working within Hinduism to remove these dehumanizing structures that squatters worked from sanctum control. Unfortunately, in recent times these have been co-opted by primitive nature of society that seeks to appropriate egalitarian values into caste fold through state institutions and power. As also these are now being beaten into divisive political agenda, and become part of cunning political dealings that reduced it to caste groups with uncouth haggling as leaders. Its despicable, this society seems to be fine-tuned to reduce everything into worst possible references and bleakest outcomes, very much orchestrated by devious people nurtured by deep state. Meanwhile there is absolutely no reason why anti-caste movement like Lingayats are not separate religion and given minority status so that these subtle thoughts and ideas are protected from crude nature of society, this has support of common people. These situations and demands becomes painfully ridiculous when put in context to members of stupid game (read cricket) who were honoured by state (disgracefully the market nominee in amalgam with deep nature of state was seen promoting products despite the highest honour. In a crude ecosystem you cannot expect finesse, at the most well calibrated humbleness. Such is the greed and degraded nature of society that nurture these).

Swamiji, who passed away two days back at the age of 111, was a part of rich legacy that constantly worked for betterment of humanity, these have been instrumental in providing quality education and primary health care for millions of desperate people who were discriminated by society and state institutions -its carefully worked out lopsided nature of development that failed to care for vulnerable, marginalised and exploited. By honouring Shivkumara Swamiji the government is not only honouring a remarkable individual but a tradition that traces its roots that thrived from Buddha to Bhakti movement to Nanak despite primitive caste feudals constantly intruding through clever semantics, state power and money.   

Casteless economic criterion for affirmative action: Though it is political move this blogger would like to congratulate the government for taking steps towards much saner form of affirmative action. Unfortunately, the primitive nature of society, controlled by entrenched power brokers, will make it difficult. They thrive in degraded ecosystem, where manipulating and controlling common people is easier while stampeding for representing their angst, as also easy template for playing liberal. Further anti-caste measures need to be taken that makes it difficult for casteist to work their devious ways. Meanwhile the most marginalised and systemically exploited needs continuous attention and support. Massive investment is needed in primary education and health at grassroot level, unlike trickled down by mediocre caste feudals and their pious interventions that was the norm for last many decades.

Ever expanding claims of low calibers


When entitled mediocres of a blessed society wallowing in its putrid pit encounters the subtler world they are baffled. It’s a mixture of exaggerated self-worth grandeur surveying the scene for indications of higher blessing (as has been predicted and guaranteed by intricacies of foretelling future, a ‘vidya’, specially gifted from abode that humanity is yet to understand, such is the extent of BS nurtured by the degraded society) while with limited intellect, to get traction for elevated self its assured place in brahmand. With it the eternal burden of rectifying the misunderstanding the world suffers about grandness of blessed Indians -that has already been authenticated from unknowable energies of universe. As much as Indian scientist is a joke, indeed an oxymoron if put in its blessed context, Indian Science Congress is a laughter to set the tone for the year for a beleaguered society. These are not something happening in last few years, nor these socalled scientist aberrations, it’s a legacy that has been viciously nurtured by castetva forces (with characteristic cunningness to keep people divided and trapped while licking the gravy and passing it on to exploitative feudals from islam and market to get the frame of secular and diversity. Such is the liberal ruse to awe the world). Castetva has already solidified the frame for Hindutva to work on. The deep nature of society -that is fed by castetva forces over the decades, nurtures these worldviews and place them in significant positions and responsibility –replicating the devious nature of sanctum (Pranab is one of the examples that was taken to the highest position without any discernible skills except high level cunningness and camaraderie. Collect the return gift from Ghana!), very much intended to be an aspiration for beleaguered common people as also an assurance to any threat to its worldview. These blessings are easily taken in by common people, hence the views and actions get credibility since blessing authenticate. Thus there is no right or wrong only blessedness, and there are some who even capitalise these miseries into high philosophy. This is how things were being orchestrated by depraved debauched posturing as leaders. Having lost the lick they are viciously conniving, and becoming blatant with caste degradations. And with persistent perceptions created by third rate market media –in its ever simplifying mandate, they posit that common people have nothing but caste to vote for and then cleverly wrangle the narration to gravy filled end for orgy of views and counterviews, judiciously playing sanctum immoral pointers to hunt the insecure politicians into caste paradise.

For hierarchical minded Indians life is about high and low, high is about sanctum characterized submissive subservience -beggar's mindset, that is ready to lick at the shortest hint while low is open to inhuman exploitations, being acutely sensitive of world scrutiny these morph as patronizing pointers as also values of diversity that must be preserved (similar to the one by primitives in sabarimala). For the same reason there is an eternal struggle to get the tag that would elevate them, ofcourse all these within the pit (that they are born into while ardently seeking to die in bigger pit). The reason for “senior”, hence senior lawyers, senior journalists, senior politicians…even senior scientists. VC of Andhra university was nurtured by deep state into senior scientist, and the onus was now on him to convert the senior blessing into bigger opportunity. Since they have highest estimate of themselves within fictitious frame it's but natural to extend the omnipotent fiction. Newton, Einstein, Darwin…nothing but the topmost is their target. This has the effect of catapulting themselves and sanctum blessing into highest level of reckoning. Taking on the popular also sanctifies the blessing with much easiness among common people -herd. Semantics and humbleness is judiciously mixed with cunning dexterity. It works with audience, while peer review and serious scrutiny is not effected by charlatan’s devious ways. So we are extolled to have open mind, “our mind should be like parachutes” exults the VC to audience as he elaborates on ancient Indian grandness wherein stem cell research was common as much as test tube babies while aircrafts flew around. It’s a different matter that too much open mind gets filled with bullshit, and for blessed entitled with low calibre these are easy matter. Gandhi by quote can be fit into any occasion. The arrogance and amazing level of self-assuredness while asserting these nonsense is what defines and needs special attention if one were to get into mindset of caste feudal blessed Indians. It’s the same frame that seeks itself as jagathgurus, as secular liberals patiently humbly waiting to awestrike the world with highest worldviews and carefully arranged kindred selves. Gandhi was a sample.

I also had the misfortune of visiting All India Sociological Conference few weeks back. Although sociology is an interesting subject but when it comes to Indians it is the usual bullshit vendors in varying degree of mediocrity sucking on to get grants and positions. So I was here at about 10.30am as mentioned in the schedule. Everything was, as expected, badly arranged, nobody seems to be bothered, and when it started at 11.10am they had customary apology ready, that too nobody was bothered. Meanwhile I went about the stalls that were arranged (interestingly Oxford publication was making valiant attempts at positioning Gandhi as anti-caste. Hilarious and pitiable). Random photos of the books arranged will give you the glimpse of castetva control over narration. It’s disgusting, and I pity the younger generations who are fed on these nonsenses. Meanwhile back to the talk, a VC (self-proclaimed dalit) shows characteristics that got him the position. He was virulently casteist, mentioning “people are unfortunately moving away from caste identity while voting”, ofcourse to the intense delight of all the caste cannibals masquerading as intellectuals. There is a term in US “house niger”, it is quite suited here. Castetva forces have created such wonders to offset their primitiveness. Jagjivan ram was a prominent example. His daughter though competent had to give way to cunning Pranab, and was later summoned after BJP's candidate choice (there was intense revulsion among Delhi based chatterati as they had put their money on gandhi’s litter –who was judiciously nurtured). Later 'Dr.Shastri' spoke on ‘caste and elections’, and exhibited high competence by focusing on ‘dalit votebank’. The high decibel crude fellow was introduced as having visited 50countries (it was not mentioned as to for what reason –I pictured him in bermudas at Miami beach, but nevertheless it showcased his blessedness that cannot be denied hence authority) and was thanked for finding time from busy schedule. We were told that he was regular on TV discussions, and has written 100 op eds. Surely the fellow has found gainful employment from nothing! What he had to say was again the extension of BS that need no mention but it kept the sociologically inclined intellectually challenged audience riveted. High sounding sentences like “for your considerations” “interesting trends” “interesting observations” “stray observation” “I don’t have answer to it but it’s an important question” “take cue from my talk”…were liberally used whenever they were short on ideas. All the while the screen next to the dais was showing the pictures of hotels where the dignitaries were staying (pic herein). These ridiculous situations arise because these are not connected to the ground realities. They just float to blab and then move out, everything need to be arranged for them, the onus is not on them to even look around. So the computer technician takes the decision that effects all, nobody seemed embarrassed they carried on as if it is fated. Ideally the talker must be made to make all electric fitting, and all aspects of power point. Most of these people do not even have the competence to switch on the mike. I also observed many spelling mistakes in important communications.


At about 12.30pm, as discussion on the dais was heating up, I decided it was wasteful for me. It was while I was moving out that I found the audience had mostly vanished.  Lunch was being served, and all those whom I found riveted to the discussion had unhinged and riveted to stampede for lunch. It’s a remarkable attribute to shift attention so effortlessly that too in middle of discussions to lunch. They didn’t give any impression of having taken part in any sociology discussion only moments back as I listened to them exchanging travelling plans while stuffing their mouth. Indian sociologists are disgraceful bunch.  Hopefully these aren’t paid by the government.
