Indians therefore generally work well as status
quoists, safe keepers, charming mediators for the system. If ever, it is about
safe accretion or else as assurance of everlasting gains. Almost all the CEOs -international
or even national -taunted by some as civilizational success, are mostly those
who played it well for the system. It’s about working for years within the
system to gain confidence, about jockeying for position, about servility –
keenly aware of hierarchy and power matrix, about safe bet for the investors. Unless it has exciting new research or vibrant ideas or possibilities I cannot even think of
working in a system for more than few months. People who are trained to be
successful are most dangerous to humanity. They are infected to do things without
worrying about ramification or even the need. They do to gain, to please. This also
has essential element of blessing connected to it. Religion therefore deeply entrenches
these deviances. Power, money, position, so on becomes essential characteristics
of success which then is worked as fortuitous blessing if pleased sufficiently. It’s a degrading loop
that has kept this godforsaken wasted society busy. Imagine a religion that
instead of opening to immensity of life reduces to binary of success and
failure, and then cunningly positions as harbinger of perpetual gain. Imagine the
crassness of it, and now imagine the mindsets that emerge from these.
Education is about learning; it’s about knowing
and thinking on what you understand. Which in turn helps you to formulate your
own ideas, it’s an assertion of your unique presence, this then contributes to evolve humanity.
Societies that understand the value of education have produced better humans
and have contributed immensely to progress of humanity. They have helped assert
values of liberty and consolidate democratic institutions. Herds then appropriate
these to misuse, vandalize and degrade into worst possibilities.
Religion cannot be allowed to be expressed in
educational institutions: There is a reason why uniform attire is insisted on in educational institutions.
It’s an attempt at providing egalitarian space for children to explore and
learn. Hindu bindi, Sikh turban, Muslim hijab…as also caste reference or regressive markers
must be removed from child’s name during admission (I recall one class teacher
in a school in Sagar -MP, that I studied briefly, made egalitarian attempt to
remove caste references in names, it had funny outcomes though when students
had similar first names -which is quite common, so we had sunil one, sunil two…Thinking
back, this happening in impoverished, mostly illiterate caste exploited hellholes,
that too four decades back is amazing. Obviously that remarkable teacher must
been dumped. There is a heavy price paid by society to create gandhi) so on has no space in children’s life as a learner. Further, the
onus is on humanity to insist on secular progressive space. It also opens up
children to the realization that religion is not sacrosanct, and that there are
evolved spaces and humane options.
Ideally religion shouldn’t have any nurturing public
space but then we don’t live in ideal place hence we need to tolerate these transgressions
-this perversity has no reason to be celebrated as some multicultural
expression or diversity. But yes, full face cover is an assault on humanity and
a gangrene on soul. In a free society everybody has right but there are
consequences too. There is a reason why societies are getting radicalized. Why is
that normal people when they migrate to West (specifically UK) become radicalized? (the other day I was listening to ‘indian’ girl from Britain speaking rabid hinduism,
eloquently ofcourse -british accent is an advantage in a subcontinent where
people are scampering to learn English to showcase their merit). There are also
attempts made to normalize religion driven patriarchy. Caste cannibals are using
religion fault lines to position themselves as compassionate savior, at international
level they pout as liberal (it’s easy to play compromised monarchy patriots
looking for something to hinge for redemption). These segregatory values and dehumanization
attempts have created untold misery to common people as also diverting from existential
problems. Beware of herd controllers they degrade cherished values for immediate
gain to position as liberal. They prey to cannibalize soul of humanity.
Sinister attempt at ridiculous binary to create narration of religion.
