Hindutva hooligans at the fore

 

What to expect from a primitive society? The mainstream nonsense is becoming unbearable. With castetva forces degrading the society and institutionalizing regressive values, expectedly lacking personal probity (nepotistic corrupt sycophantic charlatans working on eloquence and hedonistic ways as liberal) in the last many decades, it was but expected. Entertainment in this part of the world was always substandard (with very rare exceptions -necessarily against the norm. As mentioned earlier music and colors -mainly through folk art, are two aspects of expression that worked for me from this depressingly degraded part of the world), an excruciating experience. With modern technology it can only go to worst of details. To expect something enlightening from regressive foundation is foolishness, hence we have to tolerate, this therefore becomes defining moment for freedom of expression and arbitration of possibilities that democracy and modern technologies provides.     

The mainstream media and inbred litters in social media, shifting from castetva cannibalism to hindutva hooliganism, are baying blood for a latest movie about some Ramayana references through Ravan, Sita so on (check the details in the picture herein. This is India's next generation creating sinister conceptions from mythical stories as marketeers -in the garb of moviemakers, journalists...feed on 'controversy'!). As it is these were quite insipid stories carefully working feudal patriarchy crass contexts for religious values to keep common people in leash. Juvenile stories that move from adolescent spectacles to bawdy crude fantastical were meant to provide moral values, and are still vociferously presented in this modern world as alternate reality. Since herd is riveted, market driven mediocre entertainers have been using these for easy money. In the last many decades mediocre entertainers had free run to manipulate these ‘moral’ symbols for money churning enterprise. In recent time with hindutva hooligans working the deal for herd the ‘hurt sentiment’ has cascaded into riotous hold. Marketeer turned film makers working for easy money with least talent or creative skills conceptualized Ravana -closely resembling mainstream conception of Islamist or jehadi nightmare, the quintessential monster mullah. Now this was clever work to mollycoddle the hindu herd into contemporary realities of hatemongering hence successful formulae for money making. They even had him riding a flying bat -most likely to tap on the corona scare where bats were proclaimed as bloodthirsty villains to the hounded populace (I feel very sorry for bats -one of the most diverse mammal species they play a very significant role in ecosystem, and if you study how they use echolocation it's absolutely brilliant), now this is served to otherworldly blessed section with ordained role as saviors of humanity, of jagath gurus and mahatmas ordered as needed, who strongly hold the view that blessed Indians, obviously intelligent (pundit=intelligence/holder of spectacular knowledge that common people can never be privy to, and now even western ‘civilization’ too have acknowledge it by including it in daily conversation), could fly much sophisticated things than mere aircrafts!  

These cacophonies of absurd surrounding the ‘discussion’ (within the mythical vad-samvad traditions of putrid society) gets excruciating by the day. For literacy to become education is a big deal, it is saddening that modern technologies and spectacular access these provides has made it immensely possible but what we get is pursuit of crass and crude. It is easy to blame castetva cannibals for consolidation of hindutva hooligans, though this is largely true, but we are seeing trends across the world (latest in Brazil) where the worst of the people are getting acceptance in large scale. It is about time to understand this dangerous shifting -wise and better equipped minds should explore this. Most importantly these clever binaries that were assiduously created, and now collapse with remarkable ease in common people’s estimation, is stark. Manipulating feudal structures and hedonism into liberal and freedom while carefully feeding regressive religions as symbolic sacred. These constructed binaries are meant to polarize for easy manipulation and consolidation of sinister forces. These degradation of egalitarian into words with ominous intents has reached a dead end, it is being thoroughly breached into desperations of common people. We need to reclaim words that defines egalitarian values and human progress that hinges the shared aspirations of humanity. These cannot be kept ossified into 20th century contexts and value system through narrative control of few. Modern world and its continuously emerging challenges need forceful semantics. Words holds meaning. Meanings are vibrant and constantly evolving.
