Other societies have egalitarian
space in varying degree. In regions ruled by religions this space gets limited
as primitive norms tends to get precedence over humane. This barren land thrive
as religion tighten its control. Monster mullah and racist uncouth Christians create
dead souls who move around as zombies insulated from realities. It is however cannibal
caste Hindus who take it next level, a pernicious set up that deviously simulate
humane world. Whether it’s US or Iran there is always creative space that
brings out the best in humans despite soul numbing presence of religion and its binary poser -the market. A space for humanity and reality to work its magic. These
seek common values of humanity, and evolved space to thrive. Though one must
add these are being increasingly threatened. The Indian deep state though is a rot
that seeks to infect common people on every conceivable occasion. The Supreme
Court’s decision today to uphold rights of ex-royal (not “royal family” as is
being reported by market slave posing as media) over cash rich temple is deeply
disturbing and against egalitarian value system. It is an attack on foundation
of democracy and an assault on equality and liberty.
To start with Hindu temples were/are
horrendous space that nurture arguably one of the most dehumanizing form of
human dealing and meaningless hypocritical rituals that seeks to degrade. Like all
hideous religions that still survive through ancient and medieval times stalking
on human insecurities while capitalizing on miseries these have prevented
evolution of mind. In the garb of faith it’s a racket that seeks to converts
humans into sinister herds incapable to value human life. Temples are also
space for untold riches that were mercilessly sucked from people, and as the
people suffered and were dehumanized these spaces thrived by firmly aligning
with and authenticating nincompoop rulers (“royals”) who were easily defeated
and subjugated by invaders. With these deviant self-defeating systems, and herds emerging out, it is not at all surprising that the Indian contribution
to humanity remains embarrassingly limited. Ofcourse there is always a counter
narration conceived in putrid pit that showcase scientists and mahatmas walking
the earth and guiding the humanity thus assuring the herd riveted to narration of their
special place in universe. Even today there is always self usual congratulatory flourish in this
construct. The examples of posers heading Google or Microsoft are nothing but market
recruits. Creative ability, to think and conceptualize something evolved,
arises out of value system that cherish excellence in every aspect of life,
indeed even in what is considered as insignificant since there is nothing insignificant.
The primitive thoughts of classifying insignificance comes from mindset that
seeks hierarchy and categorization. Excellence is essentially deeply connected
to reality, it’s about being present, hence expresses in forms that inspires
evolved thoughts and nuanced expressions.
During medieval times heightened creative
expressions involved people who used religion as medium (and I am quite sure
there were much nuanced non/anti religious expressions that were silenced by
the power structure). Even during these period much subtlety were found in
non-religious expressions for the simple reason that excellence necessarily connects
deeply to reality. It helped in developing nuances that responded to the reality
that searched the deepest strands of life. These expresses in art, science and every
aspect of life. It’s a way of life that merges with all life form. Religion
denies these, and in the contemporary world the kind of awareness we have of
the world around us makes religion and its expressions as fantastical juvenilities
that can only be pitied, any other response is an insult on humanity and indeed basic sensibilities.
SC has erred badly to grant
temples to wasted feudal structure. Considering that this is a degraded
society, also that the source of degradation is very much emerging from sanctum
and wasted lives existing as blessed squatters without any hint of any morals. Diseased
mind that is greedy of gold, silver and money. The same they have inoculated
into the herd who too salivate for money and riches, and see these as good omen
and blessing. The deviance is much deeper. Charlatan gurus, sprout at every
street corner, to trick the herd minded and use these to accumulate wealth and
power. The buffoon at puttapurthi had room filled with gold and riches as he
serenaded the compliable powerful seeking herd controller. Such is the
despicable level to this society has fallen. Raiding temples for riches was the
easiest thing to do during medieval times. And they raided routinely while the
herd collected and deposited riches again to seek better blessing! Bunch of
nincompoops didn’t have any means or caliber to deal with the reality, and now
these are posited as characteristics of peace loving society! The same template
still thrives as the country languishes at worst end of HDI as also
contributing nothing substantial to world community with ever increasing
population that is essentially perpetually consuming carbon units readying to
be exploited.
Agreed that state is secular (as
also when communist are ruling) hence instead of handing it to state they could
have attempted to create association or group of stakeholders. By presenting it
to feudal remnants et al royal (whose reason for existence is d*ck/c*nt
arrangement parasiting on people, ofcourse as humble servant of god). It is a
failure of society and education, it is undoubtedly failure of legal system,
that produces and nurtures such judges at highest level. Those who lack
historical understanding and any awareness of contemporary reality least
humanist values. It’s the extension of values nurtured by castetva that
consolidates hindutva. The only redemption, as always, is to create fiction of narcissistic
grandness so as to keep the herds hinged so that they are happy in their
misery. This wretched society has array of fantastical fiction describing
itself, as “golden bird” to assuming moral authority of the world thus keep itself
in collective hallucination. I am sure such grandness is an affliction of most
societies around the world but atleast they have some space for excellence. The
uniqueness of this society is the complete insulation from any form of
excellence while striving its amazing inbred mediocrity into some likeness of
grand. It’s an embarrassing venture doomed from the word go. Dustbin case.
Post script: the other day I was out on a walk. While returning I
sat next to a shop that had its radio running. These are little charms of small
town: the loud radio and thatched shop reeking in musky wood. Ofcourse hot tea
and steaming savory would have worked well if it was not for the virus. The state
run AIR was blaring carnatic music, an unusual choice wherein most people
really don’t prefer these considering that these are not in local language
(Malayalam) makes it an imposition. Some herd member have got used to it hence
show signs of enjoyment. I, myself, find it tedious and devoid of any charm
(except few renditions that are agreeable). It probably is an expression of art
that doesn’t seem to touch my soul in any form. I must add the one in “Life of
pi” was right there, deeply moving, probably because it was removed from its
degrading context and raucous paraphernalia into something ethereal.
