So, an Indian origin fellow -the
link is tenuous as much as his link to Britain and the tribulations of common
people nevertheless it should keep the herd riveted since he is a exhibiting Hindu
and all the ridiculousness of religion that comes with it, is now ‘ruling’ (well
that’s what the mob here in India wants to believe) Britain. Excelling in manipulation among
the opportunist sociopaths in Conservative cabal he scratched and scrambled through,
not elected by people nor liked by them. His amazing level of incompetence was on display in the previous government. His lack of concern or empathy was
showcased during pandemic. The fellow was busy ticking boxes to please the
power that be, to be in their good books, while he upstages the incumbent sociopath
(who also displayed psychopathic tendencies). His appalling attempts at influencing
Tory sociopaths with ridiculous hackneyed cringeworthy ads didn’t work. That he
was defeated by another sociopath (trickle down dimwit) who couldn’t outlast a
lettuce is telling.
There is a stampede among castetva
and hindutva -in equal ferocious measure, here in India to claim him hence by implication
the untold ‘intelligance’ and ofcourse merit that the world is yet to understand.
One fellow -inbred in this ecosystem of exceptionalism, in social media claimed
in the melee that NASA scientists have learned sanskrit to understand the
hidden knowledge of nature of universe. Given half a chance primitive Indian society
has the template to take it to the next level of ridiculous. While Rishi Sunak
was ticking all the boxes of amassing wealth and influence, and working the nepotistic
hold through circle of influence and neo-liberal clique, seasoned Indians here in India easily valued
these as signs of blessing, indeed they would be aiming for the same goals given
half the chance! What the person is doing or has done (even a cursory glance at
this erstwhile hedge fund manager’s performance during pandemic is enough to
tick him off -and should never be allowed anywhere near influential positions), what is the
values he hold, is not at all a concern as long as wealth and influence is
working. Precisely what squatters at Tirupati recommends. Let the money talk. Let
us keep them mesmerized with our wealth and power. They will bow. They will
want blessing to improve their fate. They will want the share of power and wealth. Everything is
justified with power and wealth. Imagine the minds that think like this, and
then work to create sacredness around it. And yes, very soon Sunak will be paying
a visit (unless ofcourse common people in Britain revolt and general elections
are called). This is how ordained soul meet beholder of special power and conjurer
of mysterious forces in universe. The more you understand these people absurd
it gets. Also, unlike patronizing fattened fluffs who have taken the cudgel to
protect religion, these absurdities must be eviscerated and ridiculed. An intriguing
discussion in social media was about counting number of Indian origin leaders
who have trigger on nuclear bomb. Ofcourse ridiculing Pakistan is a constant endeavor
(not that this nation needs any help, corrupt feudal, exploited people, and yes Islam representing the idea of religions that holds worst
of possibilities for humanity -the audacity to declare Islamophobia by UN – I am
still seething. Religiophilia is an affliction of controllers. There isn’t anything
sacred about religion indeed it’s banal, anachronistic nuisance). The idea that
more Indian origins have power to destroy world many times over seems satisfying
thought to some, as also the implicit claims of superiority (one pretentious news
channel reported few months ago that US VP had nuclear button in her control for
hours, I couldn’t understand the significance, now I am getting it). What kind
of people are these?
This picture is doing the round
in social media to buttress all ridiculous claim by primitives here in India. This
need to be dealt. Consolidation of section of cult into hinduism (hinduism was,
and is being, consolidated and defined by the other) saw to it that cows become
sacred. For most hindus cows were never really sacred except maybe some small
sections in North India. Eating cow meat was quite a common practice, even find
mention in scriptures. Many rituals reminisce animal sacrifices even human sacrifices.
Buddhism presented frame of compassion though not in the degrading concept of purity.
Buddha’s last meal consist of pork is documented and explains the context of
compassion that caste cannibals were incapable to fathom. For some it was bulls that were sacred, for
some it was peacock, for others it was dog (readers of this blog will recall
Jejuri – and the unforgettable lines by Kolatkar -God is the word I know how to
read backwards!). During the socalled freedom struggle caste cannibals were
working furiously to control narration as also match with the needs of colonial
masters hence many ‘interpretations’ and ‘scholarly’ work on Gita to compare and
be par with the single holy book religion -read Bible. Bhagvad Gita is just one
of the holy books among hundreds of holy scriptures. How did this book gain prominence
like cow? Ofcourse colonial racist christian masters with the help of caste
cannibals created jokes on holy cow (something that you will not find in any Indian
region or language, clearly, it’s a conception of english). So, when you get photographed paying obeisance
to cow it’s carefully crafted to create exotic value to britishers. The otherness
that they have constant urge to patronize for their own redemption and to showcase
benign nature that hide colonial excesses. It’s seen that when normal decent
people migrate, or even spent some time, in West (specifically Britain or Canada)
they come back much insular dogmatic versions of religions, identifying with
regressive and revivalists. Quite clearly these are nurtured by white European elite working to
segregate and exoticize as also exhibit proprietorial control over common
people. Alien regressive values doesn’t add to society, it generally spread misery
-not only for common people but also for the majority vulnerable within the
exotic. There arises revulsion hence xenophobia which is
tapped by cunning opportunists to divide and create binary narrations to share
power. Praying holy cow and performatory exhibition of exotic faith ticks all
the boxes that pleases the West hence the urge to patronize, this later
consolidates into power. Back home these regressive performances are being
celebrated as hinduism’s mystical connections to universe and how it bestows
blessing on some. Ofcourse I am not against cows. When I was kid, we had a cow
in hometown and I would hug the calf -such a gentle adorable creature. Also,
cow meat is red meat hence bad for health. Ofcourse one must strive for veganism
as a choice but with meat diet once in a while. There is nothing patently
sacred about cows nor anything evil about buffaloes or pigs. Every life is
sacred. Indeed, every life is a miracle (I was reading about incredible ways by
which bats echolocate -it’s amazing. Bats are now topping my list of animals that
can be considered sacred!) This praying
to specific animals -since some herds do so, by those whom we assume to be ‘educated’
is dangerous. It is ticking the western cliché. Brownwashing is not
progressive. Nevertheless Britain will have to see whether he redeems himself? Most people have doubts.

Now check these three pictures
here. The common factor here is that they are all women of Indian origin who held/hold
powerful positions in West. What is also common is that they are nastiest of the
lot. To the extend you can call them embarrassments. But they are seen as representing
woman of color, vulnerabilities of migrants, exotic culture so on…but these are
all superficialities. They are superficial human being, sociopaths who would do
anything for money and power. And yes, there are lots like these in India too, so
when we talk of vulnerable women in India just be sure. The worst are always
lurking salivating for power and ready with PR agency for image change. It goes without saying that this is equally true
for men, just trying to point out that this primitive society is much
complicated, and that those who claim to represent are not really representing
nor can they represent. Even Gandhi was a shoddy attempt.
