Inheritors of a "refined and ancient civilisation"

We must stop comparing it to the Delhi gang rape because the similarities exist in their horrific death and not in the lives lead. We must acknowledge that our motivation at the comparison is to drag the Kerala woman’s life into a setting that we are comfortable in – urban, upper caste – and not confront the realities of caste violence across India…Instead of the comparisons, the victims will be better served if we started acknowledging the vicious effects of caste and start working against it; if we see that recent violence against Dalit people has come on the bodies of people trying to assert themselves and breaking free of caste shackles: a law student, a nursing student, a bright school student, a PhD student; if we admit caste is present everywhere in our lives.

It is rare to find these kind of lines in squatter saturated ‘bania’ promoted shubh laab ventures that posits as media. With god’s grace the technologies keep innovating and fall on their lap (minor miracles) to further promote their primitive ways and reach. Meanwhile the people who have morphed their primitiveness in social indices so as to be referred to as progressive are being questioned. Kerala is a putrefication that Indians will meet on the way –with rising literacy and income, as they progress negotiating market enlightenment with cruder culture and depraved traditions. These will get intense everytime they showcase their humble ways and simple nature. Some rue on memories of matriarchy! Matriarchy my foot. In an overwhelmingly primitive society (that left even Vivekananda baffled) these are earnest hallucination of grandeur, property transfer has much cunning reasons some may give impression of matriarchy. Clearly the socalled matriarchy followed all the primitiveness of patriarchy, nothing remotely enlightening as is being posited. This blogger has maintained that cunning elite women have been positioning themselves by exaggerating gender matters to usurp advantage, and have been making attempts to impress West by playing victim while the reality being they are firmly hinged to primitive world and are active participant of the structure that nurtures and thrives on misery. Indeed a just society will be based on gender equality. While the pertinent question here is the victim’s name can be revealed because poor people, that too the most marginalised and traditionally brutalised, are not expected to have privacy? The law is not meant to be applied in these cases, by the prejudiced police and disgraceful media. That caste is major pattern in these despicable shows is sought to be censored.

Meanwhile Pavan Verma, who has carefully calibrated his career on upward trajectory (nothing wrong in the arena of market driven ecstasy, as also it is a justification on ordained self, but when it is meant to assert the mainstream narrations and pander to power then we know the clever fellow is aiming big. Urdu connection with muslim elite gives him serious gravy points, and claims of much sought feudal refinity) is ruing the trolls. Trolls are generally aimed at the powerful by the mass (atleast the one who can use Net and can understand English, the numbers of which are increasing exponentially), there maybe some excesses but it is nothing compared to the nepotistic and irresponsible elite. Get used to it Vermaji, if you can vouch for freedom of expression for the market media (and whatever is served as infotainment) then you should have no problem with trolls. To be able to abuse is part of free expression, indeed that probably is only viable option of marginalised/powerless, and yes nothing is sacred. Not the least religion, this relentless march of ‘sentiment being hurt’ is curtailing the freedom. Blasphemy has no place in free world, you cannot freeze anything in timespace. The reason why enlightened societies/people should be worried of primitiveness encroaching in the name of religious expressions that seeks to bring in discriminations and prejudices in the name of faith. This blogger will not prefer provocation of faith for the sake of freedom, but if it is discriminatory and reduces the space then it will be resisted. Patronising Britain has always got it wrong, muslim london mayor (indeed his lack of decency towards Corbyn points to serious hedonistic tilt, that seem to define some who use muslim card as liberal) doesn’t help the case, they nurture and export the vilest kind of people. Worst of religious ways living in harmony is a truce not tolerance, and a degradation that constantly eats into ethical core. The result is never positive. It’s like inmates of jail, enforced and indeed menace to freedom. Societies don’t become syncretic in degradation, it is like Indianisation that will see harmonious thriving mediocrity, numbed to all kinds of nonsense and exploited in the name of faith. It doesn’t pass the scrutiny of logic and enlightened understanding. Religion seems to be having a free run and severely degrading all that is valued in free world. Verma claims, after much mainstream chicanery of greatness, to be “inheritors of a refined and ancient civilisation”. This is the kind of garbage that is being fed for too long now, and many have made career by acquiescing to these in well-orchestrated debauched connection that very effortlessly reinforces camaraderie. Thankfully internet has given voice to people, and yes these vicious responses are only tip of ever increasing iceberg. The reason why political/social/media elite are viciously targeted.

Meanwhile Raghuram Rajan has come out with a gem “It is because money has no odour, because it is the great equaliser, that so many people across history have been able to acquire resources and invested them to make the world we live in…Rather than prohibiting the use of money and wealth, let us think about increasing society’s tolerance for its use.”. There was a study done on careers with high level of psychopathic behaviour. CEOs, lawyers and mediapersons were on the top of the list, that includes everyone of Indian socio-political elite spectrum, then there are people who exist in buffer zone like market driven NGOs, writers, sellers…with potential to be successful CEOs err psychopaths. When someone at IIT shifts towards IIM that is a clear indication of psychopathic intentions, Rajan like any well-meaning ignorant economist is beyond redemption. Now the question here is will capitalist torchbearer Rajan play his sickular liberal card effectively and enthuse the camaraderie that pseudo commies Kasthuri&Sons desperately crave. All eyes on golden lords of tirupathi, only gods can understand these murky devious world, or atleast the squatters for god sake and matrimony!!  

Brutal murders are extreme but persistent realities of the traditionally marginalised sections ie dalit (this reference can only be used in context to discrimination any other attempt should be quelled, as it is clever attempt by the elite to normalise and gain credibility tethered to their primitive realities, also an attempt to liken it with Blacks in US so as to equate these degradations and gain as patronisers and conscience keeper) but there are brutal discriminations all the way along. It’s a ruthless society that tries to cover itself in high sounding nonsenses of ‘culture’ that Vermaji spews, and now ‘unity in diversity’ crap. Meanwhile market has taken the baton from the realities of primitiveness and very viciously trying to fit it into modernity. The technology and talent subservient to selling and buying, the exploitation and exploitative mindset incentivised.

There was a video circulating in media of a youngster being tied to the window of train bogie, that could have quite easily got him killed, and brutally beaten. The reason being his father drank water from their bottle, and yes they knew each other. Obviously you don't become community by staying together, Kasthuri&Sons will vouch for that. Why would anyone have such brutal response to something as innocuous as sharing water? Media will not explain these and they need not we Indians know it, westerners may do sudharshan kriya for world peace and turn a blind eye on the primitive realities that defines this society in meditative silence.

The brutal realities of caste will not vanish away, water being elemental part of squatter ensconced puke purity that is taught as part inheritors of a “refined and ancient civilisation” (Vermaji). That the ‘demographic dividends’ had problem with sharing water with elderly man, and in turn nearly killed his son, shows deeper malaise in society.  And yes they could have thrashed or broken bones, that banal act would never be reported. It is this impunity (as also presence of camera) that exhibits the audacity of depravity so common place in this land of mahatamas and pundits. The one that is justified and celebrated by the mediocre Indian elite, and here the fellow goes moist over trolls. If someone asks how to caricaturise Indian elite, I would put them as a hybrid of Trump and Kim (North Korea). Everything about them can be found here, the despicable in modern, the high sounding nonsense in ordained reality, the hereditary mediocrity in money and scientific achievements (read nuclear/missiles) in buffoonery. The scenario that entitled create as they dispense patronage.

Moron of Mediocre times

When the going was orgasmic fun the dubious fellow was celebrated as King of good times, as disgraceful elites stampede for the lick till it hurt. That he was only a façade for much cleverer people to grab is becoming clear. He was used thoroughly, and the attention seeker enjoyed the limelight, the habitual affliction became the catalyst for the downfall.

Vijay Mallya is a clear case of fall guy in a coterie working and furiously scratching each other and grabbing whatever they could lay their hands on while it lasts. The moment one of the primate is declared a fall guy they mob him to show and maintain a semblance of ethical concern and righteous placing, ofcourse law will take its own course while CJ will plead for more resource. Sycophantic leaders are easy to trap as they lack credibility or responsibility, they are ever enthusiastic for any deal for gain. The deal makers, manipulators, perception creators etc. have field day as the nefarious acts are carried with impunity while Indian democracy is celebrated in all its mythical glory. The so called Indian corporates (mostly high end dealers) thrive in this ecosystem, as money is handed, directed, distributed and patted with subtle business school jargons to give semblance of professionalism to what is essentially thuggery at colossal scale. The slaves in media are taken care with media management money sacks addressed carefully with pincode, hence miraculously thugs becomes movers of economy and generators of precious jobs   garlanding it as incredible India’s success story. Now that he is being mauled badly and it has become open for all Mallya tweets from his hideout "Let media bosses not forget help, favours, accommodation that I have provided over several years which are documented." Capitalism is bad enough but crony capitalism takes the life out of the society, it saps and degrades what already is of low credibility.

Mallya’s carefully crafted checklist for success is ticked in all possible squares of devious ways. Cash cow of business empire and property that he inherited and ofcourse much facilitated due to lack of any check on these transactions. Subsequent policy makers, clearly part of the patrilineal thriving ecosystem that perpetuates disparities, furiously flicked their tongue for social justice during election time as much celebrated Indian competence/merit chugs on into its graveyard. Wonder how lawyers do such wonderful job as finance minister? Mallya used his liquor empire to surrogate ad all that he could lay his hands on as mediocrity thriving game called cricket had men competing for different brands of liquor, and soulful singing the brand, cricket is just a ruse for transaction. This blogger holds the view that prohibition of liquor is not the way but be tough on surrogate ads and placing of these products. There are even awards named on liquor that depraved decorate each other with for all kind of achievements in this ever limited world, some use this occasion for wisdom. He also exhibited his deviant market media friendly patriotism by wanton fossil fuel guzzling and massive carbon footprint irresponsible juvenile events like Formula One.  

With big money and nepotistic delight Mallya went about soliciting the ever ready to sell the nation for money politicians, he was elected to RS not once but twice for whatever reason except that he was dripping in currency. The fellow, as expected, blatantly used the occasion to subvert highest body of Indian democracy as he went on promoting himself and his brand’s worth as charming marketer. He donated, indeed bricks of gold and even navigated his godforsaken airline’s first flight around the debauched temples (Even

donating a golden door (?!) to Kukke Subramanya temple, a temple known for such disgusting practices that it will sicken any sane person. A practice so heinous that it should be a case study for world community to understand this primitive society. To call this putrid pit a place of worship is a disgrace, in a civilized world this place would either be cleared of brutes or flattened. What was the motivation of this scoundrel to donate such huge amount of gold to these disgusts? Clearly these are the pits he is now going to knock, debauched blessing should create miracles. Meanwhile will the gold door be taken back or most appropriately shouldn't these disgraceful people return it?) Unfortunately the debauchery and camaraderie have short life cycle, squatter’s blessing is ineffectual when the venture needs high level of competence for running an airline. If it was based on perception and manipulation they would have easily pulled it off but sadly this venture needs high calibre hence it could nothing but fail, humble sycophancy withstanding. Meanwhile debauched blessing worked wonders as he set about multiplying his business and ofcourse ego. The coterie cleared the patch as banks were more than keen to extend loans. I read that public sector bank is another pit of nepotism and harbinger of crony capitalism. As everybody gets their cut the loans are approved by pliable heads of banks, indeed these attributes are the very reason why they are made the head of banks. This is how degraded the system is as they favour their own without any compunction millions and millions of people’s money are exchanged and pocketed. Even words like nepotism and crony capitalism needs redefining. That an employer is not paying the employee should in itself an apt case for arrest is a minor matter. There are so many breaches one wonders whether there are any laws applied for these people or is the law meant to control common people while they carry the loot.    

What spoiled the cosy deal was Mallya’s flamboyance, the arrogant attention seeker oddball with a penchant for buffoonery, and in the ecosystem of god fearing debauched blessed humble operators he was going to be in trouble sooner than later. And that is the reason for his fall, there are defaulters worse than him, there are people worse than him but he was marked out. If he had stayed and manipulated under the radar he would have quite easily escaped and even won the business icon of the year award from none other than the FM. Few months before the hell broke loose on him he celebrated his b’day in lavish style that made ‘prescient saint’ of a RBI head to blurt some saintly advice. That the policy makers were aware of the misdeeds of Mallya and action was not taken is ‘prescient’ in itself. The incompetence of it. While FM was found to be rather patronizing “it is good that media is focussing on this”!! So what exactly is his job? To be fair the exaggerated presence of some TV channels, mostly English media (that the PM so very rightly avoids) did try to underplay Mallya’s gargantuan fleece initially. It is only when the barrage were broken that too by some really persistent and committed few that the mob joined in, it is the same with the defence scam, they ignored, underplayed and then once it was going out of hand joined in for high moral ground. Media management fund cannot really guarantee fool proof silence (this blogger wants the list of people who were paid including the journalist knowing fully well that is not going to happen…this only much bigger scam while smaller one’s are being pocketed on daily basis under the euphemism of media management).

Postscript: It is clear that Mallya played it well to attract big lickers –the cunning sycophantic politicians, through them the pliable bureaucracy and banks, facilitated ably by creating debauched blessing as he donated loads of gold to squatter temples hence open the door wide for higher echelons of camaraderie. He even ticked the sickular box, hobnobbing with pretentious money sucking sickular, and took it to the next level with Tipu’s sword. The attention seeker was having it all, and with half naked calendars and furious hedonism he took the liberal values and modernity over the roof.  As Mallya face the music, the coterie who provided the service got ample cut remained low key and have since vanished with their bora bistra leaving no trace but you can see some footprint of these manipulative scoundrels who severely degraded the institutions. This blogger was able to trace one and the web of manipulation they work on. Wondering how a pedestrian award manipulating actor who is not at all popular, and not suited for the role of a Punjabi (wherein there are so many better options) could be considered for a movie led me to look at the producer. This fellow turned out to be a photographer. Now how is that a photographer able to make so much money was cleared by the revelation that this fellow worked for Mallya. One could therefore conclude that this was in some way returning the favour, that CrudeWoman must have played some part in the manipulation can be conjectured. It is not for no reason millions of rupees is extended as a loan, and then not asked to return. It is high profile web of deceit that is so cunning that you will never be able to pinpoint it. That is how these scoundrels work, always under the radar, leave no footprint. This pattern of camaraderie is something quite common among the cabal parked around the power centre. As ZK says jab madamze ki dukaan khuli thi tho hum log do ka do lakh karthe the, aaj sirf do ka dai kar pathe hai…mahol kharab ho gaya hai

Meanwhile there is an argument going on: ZK believes in choos choos ke khao while Crude Woman is adamant on niglo school of thought. As I left the con couple CrudeWoman looked at ZK’s gene, who was furiously noting the salient of the argument, and sympathised “muee bal kat kat ke naak kataake chali gayi”. ZK looked at the ceiling and muttered “Iconz logon ka dard sirf iconz log he samaj sakthe hai”       

The charm of defence spending

This blogger does not have much respect for the Defence forces though they are a necessity for the integrity of the Nation State. That patriotism becomes last refuge for the pretenders is clear but the exaggerations in the popular culture are a reflection that the societies have not evolved yet. The more Army personnel are seen or are part of mainstream discourse, and mandatory eulogising by the public, it indicates that we haven’t really moved up in the evolutionary scale. Nothing can be more tragic than to train people to be in uniform, segregated into ranks and grading to follow orders to kill and maim others for protecting what is demarcated on geography by bunch of homo sapiens is a colossal waste of human potential. It is also clear that countries that have more intervention by Armed forces in policy making have seen amazing levels of degradations, take Pakistan for instance. Organised religion and armed forces have embryonic relation, and in some way precursor to expansionist mindset that seek to subjugate and destroy. The illogic of religion fuels the barbarism of violence on others through brainwashed soldiers. The technological advancements may have replaced market hedonism in place of religion and gave a false hope of modernity but armed forces have remain a static presence. There can be umpteen arguments and dire necessity for these forces but it also is an indication that humans haven’t really attained the sophistication that is offered by the promise of universe and hopes of better world.

Few hundred years back, as the societies were primitive, there was impetus on soldiers but now these are becoming increasingly anachronistic. The societies that celebrate these ready to die hare-brained killers as brave and role models are looking at long treacherous road of destruction. That the world instead of becoming liberal and secure, as the possibilities increases with modern advancements in ideas and technology, is seeing more strife is an indication that majority are still primitive. The insecurity clearly is not confined to national borders but each individual seems to be in sense of despair. Religion and irrational ways are therefore consolidating its presence, the more organised get to capture the unthinking naive minds into downward spiral. The collectivism is not only failing the individual but is subjugating into irresponsible ways. Material surplus or immense possibilities of wealth doesn’t really open to fresh benign understanding and thoughts that matches the prospects of the time we live in is clear from the way USA is gathering into smaller minds with bigger mouths. As deviant norms of market spread and consolidate these are set to replicate across the world. An increasingly sinister form of religion will therefore be revived in these degraded values that seek to amalgamate market in prosperity and amazing levels of irresponsibility in self-contained and ever perpetuating faith. (The pit of state called literate Kerala has faithfuls celebrating the impoverishment of gold jewellery, the world seemed to have well passed the apocalypse for these wasted zombies. What kind of conscience they hold and what hope they seek?)

It is expected that as the artificial intelligence takes technology into next revolution (Revolution 4.0) the soldiers will be replaced by machines. Antiquated ways of life mistaken for bravery and patriotism will be things of the past. The question therefore is where does Indians find themselves in? Why is this nation not able to manufacture sophisticated defence equipments? Is helicopter a rocket science that they have to seek from Europe? Is manufacturing a sophisticated fighter aircraft difficult than sending a useless mission to mars or whatever? If Europe/Japan sent mission to Space they also manufacture best machinery and have high standards of HDI, and yes very essentially critical mass of rational people who understand the context of logical reasoning, scientific temper and clarity/priority of purpose. These are comprehensive ways of human progress, not to assuage egos ordained selves proving a point of superiority and debauched blessing to go with. While they celebrate (and ofcourse fervently pray) for irrelevant mars mission precious money is spent on defence spending/purchase at the expense of education and health or research. It is clear that cunning politicians and depraved elite see these defence purchases as avenues to make easy money. And you will see almost all these defence dealings, right from India's independence, are dubious and has created lots of multi-millionaires over the years, they then invest these ill-gotten money in all kind of exploitative businesses and help consolidate regressive religious practices as the Saudis and far right in US do and become constant source of misery. It is a common symptom of the ecstasy of easy mindless money, the thanksgiving and the gargantuan greed to multiply the blessing. Most in Indian corporate –that is behind India’s growth story, will easily fit into this pattern. The unearned income and providential lives, the crony capitalism and crooning coterie that seek to ensnare the very foundation of democracy, if there was one. If French army contingent was made fun for their tacky parade in the Indian republic day the joke is essentially on Indians. These fancy marches and bravado have no much space in advanced world when the focus is to improve technology. It is pertinent to note that India is the largest importer of arms (with enviable company of Saudi and Pakistan) while a small country like France is leading exporter. Get the drift you supplicants of Bharat mata?      

If it isn’t purple rain?

The going

There aren’t any secrets no more

The soaring sky closes in sudden

Traps the bird in its closing act

The air thick as the curdled blood

Light dims and the candle flickers

The barren metaphor

Not suited not any more 

Into an ever purifying world let the ego sink

I was listening to a lecture presentation by Baldev Raj, a prominent nuclear scientist; he is the former director of Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalapakkam and now serves as the Director of the National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore.  His talk focussed on renewable energy and so on. One thing that really struck me was his mention of space technology having achieved so much while we even lack basic technological advance in Renewable energy, taking the instance that India imports every part of Wind turbine. I found that admission astounding. Juxtaposing this with antics of space scientists led to a revelation. It need to be put into the context of the social reality of this society, the insight is significant. What is scientific achievement and how does it matter to whom?

It is becoming clear that money is being pumped for the sake of assuaging egos and showcase one’s superior bearing in international forums. It is known fact that most of Indian scientific/technological strides in Space and Nuclear were possible because of active help and support from Soviets/Russians. Indians were mostly replicators, and yes searching for cheaper substitutes. Indian scientists don’t seem to match up to the rigour and calibre. A society that lacks any scientific temper or understanding/connection with surrounding it is no surprise. The foundation from which these so called scientists/technologists emerge matters of rational and logic is peripheral thought the ordained soul’s entitled world search for providence and blessings. Some call it technology demonstrators but this blogger asks what was the need for Mars mission? There is no achievement here, just replication that, if provided sufficient money and knowhow, even the aboriginals in Papua New Guinea can perform with much ease. Incidentally PNG is one region that has amazing level of diversity, and yes it is not the kind of primitive conception that Indians celebrate there is a genuine diversity here and some amazing people. If they were the size of India they would easily represent all that is beautiful in the world to cherish.

Indian mediocre elite’s intentions were also quite clear as they celebrated primitive squatter world while damning the Buddha by crudely coding the nuclear explosion with Buddha smile, this sacrilege is astounding. That a soul as peaceful and evolved as Buddha could be connected to depraved and violent act is telling. Now though, as I get firm grip on these primitive people and their cunning ways, the choice of Buddha is no surprise. And as Courts are waking up to the discriminations and actively seeking to end atrocities in the name of squatter’s primitive take on Hinduism (that has been consistently strangulating this way of life) the entrenched power structure has start to squeak. Debauched blessed Mukherjeeji was quick to point out the judicial overreach; meanwhile squatter saturated media (the one that pretends itself to be caretakers of democracy) was using ingenious ways to underplay. Take note: in an amazing camaraderie Uttarakhand HC observation ‘President is not a king’ is actively censored (meanwhile they celebrate some Queen’s b’day!!). This is only a simple example to show how these scoundrels have been playing their game while actively thriving on benefits of primitive values and miseries. And yes women entering part of temples that is reserved for male squatters are only a sideshow. The elephant in the room: the caste –the worst form of discriminatory violence that humans could conceive, that even racism look benign, is trumpeting all the way. Who will smoke out the scoundrel squatters from sanctum sanctorum? The source of deviant ways and crude framework that gnaws at the conscience of the society, and that which keep replicating in all institutions while degrades democracy and morally corrupt people. 

Shiv Vishvanathan writes on the “Question of forgiveness” (ofcourse in space provided so gracefully by Kasthuri&Sons, debauched gracefulness is another of expertise, now they are aiming for blue and red mix et al Ambedkarities and Marxists. Now that “Dalits” have been suitably packaged as seeking redemption and a surplus of redemption givers to care) though the backdrop is of Sikhs in Canada and that too in early 20^th century he traces brief history of forgiveness, even the high moral ground mandatory Modi in Gujarat so on in all these instances he quotes he couldn’t see the heinous caste atrocities and that which is sustaining it right into the so called modern world. His usual dexterity with words (which ofcourse Kasturi&clans will appreciate) will conceive lines like “It was a sheer act of courage, responsibility and humility, a statement of a colossal mistake that needed redemption” could easily and effortlessly miss caste atrocities is telling. It is characteristic nature of those posturing intellectuals of this primitive society to take higher and rarefied moral grounds on all that is happening around the world, it is a constant strive towards mahatamahood that they bestow on each other and showcase as apostle of peace in what is essentially violent crude society which they so enigmatically pamper. I guess in all fairness to apologists like Shiv the question of forgiveness doesn’t even arise when the misery is on going and one is an active participant, so either you stamp it if not morph it, use cleverness to redefine words like community, syncretism, tolerance and grand illusion of unity in diversity that the world is suitably awestruck. The fellow even carries the same mainstream squatter hallucination of hindus as “Kashmiri pandits”. Well done fellow, should give him brownie points on sickularism. Meanwhile nobody is going to ask mediocre Indian elite “What would you have done?” since we know what they can do: Manipulate. Piggyback riding mahatamas and pundits they ransacked the unsuspecting world dripping in conscience and signs of compassion. It’s an amazing chicanery and characteristic humbleness of being to be able to pull this one off firmly entrenched in crudest of world.

 India’s souls reside in great saints and spiritual beings who firmly negated squatter’s primitive conceptions. In the last few decades many charlatans have emerged hinged tightly to squatter’s while trying to usurp the great spiritual traditions. They have been provided for by the moneybags who though entrenched in primitive conceptions and crude ways looked for solace, something that could explain their depraved world in soulful ways that rustic squatter and his godforsaken rituals couldn’t (that ofcourse was competing the grandness in building bigger and taller in an urge to take on spuriously spreading uglier semantic religious structures).  This urge to show themselves evolved was how these modern spiritual gurus –traders, took shape. It is clear that they remain as primitive from their action and intent as they too look for grander and bigger spectre to showcase with necessary modern pointers to attract the corporate driven and market excited. Sri Sri’s penchant for hundreds of musicians, the numbers, is not at all baffling. The so called spiritual leader is bewildered “why only one sitar player why not hundreds?!! Let’s have a celebration!!”. Yes you can celebrate but if connected to music then that is not how you propose to listen or celebrate. This is in the garb of music and celebration arrogance and exhibition of power. The super ego that is natural for a squatter ensconced guru. If he knows anything about music he will get it from that one string of baul singer that an enlightened Tagore could fathom.  

It is also telling that lack of any connection to life and myriad life forms makes them immune to realities of environment. Afterall when people paid obeisance to life giver tree/river/natural forces the cunning created a structure around it and then prescribed rituals, cordoned off and created a business of misery as they pushed out the Nature from the equation except maybe parroting shlokas as compensation that nobody cares but are ready to quote to showcase their high bearing. It is the same mindset Sri Sri of the world exhibit: the affliction to bigger and grander, the inflated ego that doesn’t even understand basic subtleties of life. What looks like barren river bank does hold myriad life that is threatened by human encroachment and that river has a system that actively includes its surrounding in an intricate web. In the competitive world of gurus and corporates these sublime ways are sought to be lost in arguments and perceptions.  It is the same muck that enthuse scoundrels to compete on massive and bigger firecracker to showcase competitions as part of temple festivals. With amazing crude values that has no respect for any lifeforms, humans beings figure much low in scale. Primitive traditions are now our right as democracy. Does this crude society even understand what it is to be living a responsible life in a free world? No it doesn’t. They are such habit driven insecure acquisitive lives that meanwhile seeks death as redemption. What kind of people are these?  

It is into this mucky water the depraved clever try to showcase their entitled worldviews to the world (West being a specific target) and attempt cement their evolved claims. So a squatter blessing a muslim woman is seen as flagpost of religious harmony. For Kasthuri&Sons these are eyewatering instances of tolerance that their depraved world so acutely cares. That humans are being divided into religions and fancy dress to accompany the division is not the matter, as we collectively decided (with mullah feeding enthusiasm) that religion can be the only and paramount identity, anything else is not worthwhile in the schemes of things indeed wasteful ways. Significantly, primitive squatter is being pushed to represent hindu, hence in a clever deal the crude world too pervades rather staunchly (this is how these are being pushed into hapless, now ofcourse the narration is representing syncretic wellbeing). Islam, though has incredible levels of absurdity that has since become source for wahabi happy jihadis, but one thing that is appreciable is impetus on human dignity and denial of mediators (though the uncouth mullah does come out with his deviant interpretations) it is a faith that has negated rituals and focused on almighty as a source of simple access to the faithful. Therefore the woman bending to squatter’s sacred whatever (which ofcourse only he has access to) is an insult on the idea of Islam. These kinds of practices are not representing syncretic ways on the contrary these are crudest practices that is being sought to be mainstreamed and celebrated in the name of religion. They should be curtailed by those who understand the evolved meaning of religion and what it represents. Squatter and their debauched blessing have no space in egalitarian society however hard mediocre elite may attempt. This nonsense has been stretched for too long.

And yes gender issues should not be allowed to hijack the fact that elite section is depraved lot, women included. I was reading this article “I Know Rohith’s Story Because It Could Have Been My Own” by Manisha Mashaal who belong to severely caste subjugated section (sane people shouldn’t fall for the use of ‘dalit’ or ‘community’ these are ruse) writes  “But, even as women – Dalit women’s politics are at odds with upper caste women. When Nirbhaya happened, I pointed out in class that these cases of sexual violence happen all the time to Dalit women and are never paid the kind of attention that Nirbhaya received. I referred the case of the young Dalit woman who was raped and killed in Jind, Haryana. The whole class and the professor began disagreeing with me vehemently, arguing that rape is a “gender issue” not a “caste issue”. I thought to myself that this was the rotten level of understanding in a Women’s Studies program. Being women did not mean much when they could not even empathise with the vulnerabilities of a Dalit woman who had succumbed to severe violence”.  

  How much havoc and misery depraved Indian elite have given to people is common knowledge and that these deviant ways have severely intruded into their innocent world into their very being that make them caste zombies. So more the hapless people express their faith more they seem to get trapped. It’s like an animal in a snare more it tries more it gets enmeshed. And cruder it gets. It becomes part of their attitude, psyche and being, the damage done is immense. While the depraved elite, benefiting from the misery, gets down to packaging as sickularism/tolerance and all that West find attractive, indeed tap dance to the requirements, creating illusion of wonderful peaceful world. So while squatter ensconced scientist –who haven’t ever dealt scientific temper or the mindset that comes with it, takes us to heights of achievements, that ofcourse finds nothing new (Indians have no business to be dealing with neutrinos or gravitational waves, this society doesn’t have the right for such esoteric indulgences. It should be dealt with societies with money and mindset. What is needed is impetus on crying essentials that needs serious technological input) but assuage their egos and establish as specially entitled souls and blessed beings (aka Ramanujam…poor fellow I feel sorry for him, any other society he would have done wonderfully well. Inhere it messed up his mind and was almost wasted thankfully before he was cannibalised he could contact West, a bit could be salvaged) while the so called intellectuals take it to another level of purity as they seek to provide humanitarian standards and values to killers and criminals. It is amazing detachment to social realities while trying to hook up and showcase to the world as kindred souls. In the most violent sort of society, that even targets the soul of individual through faith, the squatter ensconced is so eloquently preaching such higher human values makes the depravity furthermore astounding.                                                                      

Look at the rise in Temperature!!

A primitive society like India with high claims and entitlements will not be much concerned with these cataclysmic changes (so will the god fearing far right uncouth in US) -that will surely affect billions of people, as the mediocre elite hook up to fervently multiply their privileges, unearned incomes (also referred to as competence/merit, an important ingredient in development/progress, now morphing into startups) and replicate the monetary gains (also entrepreneurship modeled on Trumps of the world, indeed there are legions of Trump like role models in here), a framework ardently looked upon as model to emulate for the intense social climbing by scampering millions. The ground is slipping all the while for 18% of world’s population squeezed in 2.4% of land –that in itself should be seen as a crime on humanity, like sacrificial lamb they swagger with consummate self-worth. Surely with more automations and technological innovations (which ofcourse cannot be expected from this mediocre bunch, enmeshed as they are in their own depraved ways and entrenched crude bearings) the nuanced world will need less of humans, who can use their mind innovatively that which AI or intelligent machines cannot accomplish. So to start with the world is getting smarter and leaner, and yes evolved societies and responsible people are limiting their populations and reducing their footprint, that leaves Indian demographic dividend scrounging the dustbin. Not at all undesirable scenario, true value cannot be manipulated by perceptions nor can it alter the objective realities that knock the door. Indians are the worst of the lot is becoming amply clear, fig leaf of low capita emission will not diminish the celebratory regressiveness that degrade the delicate ways of life. Cannibalism is inbuilt nature of this society that will keep gnawing all that is precious in the world. 

This is changing everything

The global surface temperatures across land and ocean in February were 1.35C warmer than the average temperature for the month, smashing previous monthly records by an unprecedented amount, according to Nasa data, sparking warnings of a climate emergency.

Only purifying contexts, no Right or Left or Whatever

There is a consistent attempt to see the events from the spectrum of Rightist or Leftist ways, and this persistence by the leftist groups. A clever attempt to get into the position of right wing adversary hence aspire for benefits. They are even able to muster international names to embolden their dubious claims, it is an effort at conscience building we are made to understand. Common people know these chicanery, it is expected that these international conscience mercenaries should atleast show minimum understanding of the context of this society. In these divisive melee, where ideologies make least of sense, the constant strive is to differentiate hence obfuscate the realities and tribulations of common people for bigger agenda. Conscience mercenaries like Chomsky shows these extreme tendencies wherein people become pawns, and are expected to sacrifice for bigger and brighter nether. Well Indian leftist don’t measure up to it, these are small time elitist manipulators (except some in Kerala) with dexterity of tongue, and in the Indian context the only groups that really are sensitive can but become violent to face the machiavellian leaders and ruthless State force. The Naxals are probably the one who understand the brutal nature of social reality, the uniquely primitive world that Indians inhabit, and the State nexus with exploitative corporate to uproot the marginalised for their gargantuan greed in the name of national development. Statistics will confirm that while diggers became billionaires (even settling abroad, all for nationalistic cause surely) people rot lacking even basic amenity. Gandhian market media with a sickular vocal cord are known to be on the chaipani list of these earth mowing misery spreading billionaires. Indian security force personnel who get killed in Naxal areas are martyrs of the gross mistakes of insular people at the helm of affair, and they are the same unfortunate section that always braves the brunt of violent realities, whether at the border, or in jungles or farmers. This has been happening with much impunity for last decades in the garb of peace loving ever purifying nonviolence. You rarely see Iyerjis in dying as security personnels or suiciding farmers but these machiavellians can be seen with their big mouth and long diarrheic views everywhere espousing ever purifying humanitarian values and ever ready kriyakaram for universal peace. The lopsided development indicators and the extremely distressing social indices are testaments to the intent.    

Indian Communists, based in comforts of Delhi and putrid pits of Kolkata, are disgrace and should not be allowed anywhere near the power in all earnest. They have really used the misery indicators of common people to work on their social status. In this primitive world less money doesn’t matter if status is intact (indeed career is meant for money from wherever doing whatever and ultimately to enhance status) the reason some may look and live quite a simple life but disgrace nevertheless, there was one fellow who even went about half naked, ostensibly to connect with common people meanwhile kept primitive squatter pit intact and crude conscience keepers all along with supremely charming attributes that since have become role models and conscience enhancers. They thought they saw mahatma, and since been clinging to this with ever increasing gusto. Even great compassionate souls like Guru Nanakji never thought to be a Mahatma, nor is referred to as. These things don’t come cheap. Meanwhile I want to ask the Sikhs who visit Haridwar, on what basis they participate in water related rituals? Why can’t they see and respect water/river for what it is, as compassionate souls like Nanakji could and indeed asserted, rather than taking it just as a mean for their personal aggrandisements in the name of god, and leave the river filthy and people degraded. This kind of tolerant amalgamation is mortifying. Guru Granth Sahib is one of the most evolved texts please don’t degrade it. I like to go to temple towns because it is always vibrantly crazy and you could see the remnants (indeed the ‘spirit’ to some extend) of what the vicious nature of squatter couldn’t subjugate. It is that I seek. In the last seven decades as they consolidate power in the garb of democracy this syncretic culture is what is being destroyed. Mukherjeeji is the latest automated fossil in this game. In a stricter understanding of nationalism, the fellow could easily be classified as anti-national for the kind of money wasted and misuse of State machinery for his private degraded pleasures. Since we love discussing in binaries, not endowed with social intelligence or contexts, how about comparing the money spent on Mukherjeeji’s temple hopping and amount of money for which farmers suicide. It is a compelling comparison that squatter ensconced market driven media will not dare. It will disturb the applecart. Indeed BJP is nothing but an extended version of Congress, that has been pupating all the time in the heart and big bellies of most Congress leaders. Clever squatter working on western pointers know the subtle art of taking it to the edge of abyss and leaving it there, these machiavellians knows with rich experience that rest will take care of itself meanwhile they give the impression of heaven, unfortunately non-western squatters don’t care for such subtleties, they are upfront and know how to make issues into pride factor, therein lies the difference hence the chest beating for intolerance. Further, to prove that they are god ordained pristine they also have the unique ability to degrade others, instead of looking for middle ground or compromise for the sake of people. This vicious attacks and counter attacks is nothing but part of immaculate conception of vad samvad parampara that has nothing remotely to do with common people.      

 Kanhaiya Kumar (JNU student’s union president arrested under draconian sedition charges, that indeed was preserved by Congress retainers. Now it emerges that the videos were doctored) is amazingly prescient to social issues and realities –that indeed many in JNU are exposed to with the knowledge driven inquisitive ecosystem and acute awareness of constant threat of exploitative market, and his (as well as other JNU students) concerns are quite grounded. These cannot be tutored and has strong element of awareness. JNU is sought to be tarnished but this blogger asserts that it is like an oasis of understanding in what is necessarily an uncouth material driven philistine city. Though I must admit that issues raised by contemporary JNU students are in pleasant contrast to almost two decades back when elitism was in fore, during college elections outsiders were active with issues that had nothing to do with social realities of this nation or the campus. I distinctly recall Suhasini Ali ranting about Palestine that I, stuck in the drudgery of Karolbagh, found disgraceful and insensitive opportunism. First, no political leaders should be allowed in the campus. There should be strict rules on these matters. Secondly, likes of Ms. Ali is a regret, carrying as she is, a surname that surely is an insult on gender understanding though the left driven mullah pointer compulsion is understood (it is also not shocking that she nurtures herself in the company of market manipulating CrudeWoman). Nothing is personal when the ramifications are social, and yes when part of identity is that we are forced to acknowledge. A spectre of disgust against hedonist comrade rise!! And yes Mr. Kumar should be careful of the likes of Yechuries who are conniving to use him for elections. To start with he should ask the question why was the former JNU student’s union president kicked out from the party for taking a stand against supporting Mukherjeeji for President’s post? What is so compelling about Mukherjeeji that comrades in Bengal and fetid elite in Delhi are besotted to if not camaraderie? Mukherjeeji’s role during Emergency was not very positive (indeed it is shocking that not a single leader was punished for these wanton killing and untold misery, nor supine EC or SC debarred or arrested these leaders. Surely many were fit case for ‘rarest of rare’. The progenies of media who ‘scrawled when asked to bend’ rule the roost now and inherit these underhand dealings and unethical nudges). Mukherjeeji may, with his characteristic cleverness, blame it on SS Ray (it is ridiculous to suggest that all powerful Indira Gandhi was taken in by a lone leader, also what about the aftermath?) he also makes valiant effort to protect Indira Gandhi (as part of duty ofcourse) who indeed should have been dealt much severely by SC. Imposing Emergency for no reason, killing and maiming people, wanton misuse of State machinery, is treason. Mukherjeeji’s attempts also fails to cut because he was quite close to SS Ray, indeed some way a mentor. There was grapevine in higher echelons ‘wherever Ray went Pranab was sure to go!!”. And yes once it is forgiven, second time this much is enough, next time this fellow does temple hopping in front of this blogger then…Please spare this poor nation Sirji, please settle inside a sanctum sanctorum, cling to disgraceful squatters if you like but please do it after retirement, meanwhile spare us we already have many serious problems, don’t misuse our money. Kuch tho sharm karo.  Regrettably the thing about this primitive society is that I cannot even say he is setting a wrong precedence. Sycophantic leaders are happy confluence of camaraderie, debauched blessing and mystical providence that common people are not meant to understand. The quality is showing, and unfortunately it has seeped into society as desired attribute. This immense humbleness towards miracles that they seek is leading to gargantuan appetite for blessing and shortcuts.               

Communists are the one who ruined Bengal, after three decades of Left rule not even basic social development, except some self-engrossed chatteratti, indeed it remained a squatter ensconced elitist blackhole with high pretension that modelled itself on Leftists in Europe. Even in rich countries like Britain and USA leaders like Corbyns and Sanders are gaining traction among the aware whose numbers are steadily rising. Though Sander maynot win but he has definitely raised the bar that the elitist comfort seeking Left finds difficult to swallow. The godforsaken Indian Leftist leaders are regrettable bunch (except some in Kerala that includes Gowriamma and Achuthanandan, that they are popular and active even though they have well past 90 years is incredible) and have high estimate about themselves, are prone to illusions of grandeur as ordained agents of world savers. That they lack understanding of Indian realities or even exposure to grassroot was recouped with alacrity by emulating the Europeans with extensive reading and coffee table discussions. Unfortunately Indian reality has rare commonality with the West, and their search for class conflict died a premature death. That these readings didn’t remotely affect them nor their squatter ensconced world is a startling insight. They remained feudal patriarchs comfortably ensconced in squatter’s world, indeed benefitting quite grandly from these degradations as they set out to change the world. Disgraceful. Meanwhile a clever breed self-evolved in this depraved ecosystem: The leftist inclined intellectuals, who judiciously hung themselves on lusciously low branches for sycophantic Congress leaders to pluck. Sycophantic congress leaders, essentially family retainers, have low credibility and intellectual gravitas, worst they don’t even have mass support to brag, this vacuum is what they seek to fill by supporting these so called leftist intellectuals who are seen as least threatening. Indeed these leftist types scrawling around the power centre clearly pattern themselves to the requirement. Anything for easy power and money, that too in a country of more than a billion. That explains how CrudeWoman could tight hug Ms. Ali while having clear access to the highest level: The Madam, hence all the goodies and power (even call backs we are informed). It is telling on the Congress leadership that they couldn’t nurture their own followers or party members for these patronages, and indeed help consolidate itself. It shows amazing lack of trust for its own. Even elitist candidates are parachuted for elections undermining the local leadership and party workers. It’s an remarkable travesty, and what takes it to stratospheric level is insular arrogance and entitled invincibility of the leadership.

Thankfully BJP rarely does this hoisting business and impose it on people. This blogger is not against popular figures and amazingly talented people being appreciated but is against these manipulators and fair weather operators, who consistently work to impress the powerful and extract benefits at the expense of people, undermining propriety and degrading institutions. Meanwhile NDA will have to answer what is nationalism and anti-nationalism they espouse. You cannot dismiss an MP or MLA as fringe element when they declare to cut tongues or other violence. Why BJP doesn’t keep these nutcases in tight lease? Why don’t the coalition partners express concern? And yes why have the police not registered a case and arrested the muck mongers and rabble-rousers? Oh I forget the police is politicised and despite many reform commissions recommendations the Congress sycophants were too incompetent to take note or initiate reforms.    

Chakiyarkooth: it couldn’t get better

I am a big fan of Chakiyarkooth, it’s an extremely nuanced artform and a fun to watch in live audience. Chakiyarkooth is story telling by an artist to live audience; it differs from Katha prasangam (literally ‘story telling’) in that in Chakiyarkooth the story teller has an elaborate makeup and costume, he also moves around the stage. Chakiyarkooth is much nuanced than Katha prasangam. It consists of storytelling, mostly from hindu mythology, the story teller quite adeptly includes contemporary happenings particularly politics (that keralites are quite involved in, though much degraded and lacks any calibre as democracy) as part of the story. The references are subtle and so the story is from Ramayana, the Mukhyan (Chief) is undoubtedly a local king in the narration but the indication towards the CM is not missed nor is the snide or metaphor in passing. Audience understands and knows when and where the subtle indications are meant to be. Another compelling aspect of Chakiyarkooth is that the story teller also involves audience in his narration, he may shout at someone who is readying to get up or has just entered or any personal remark that he fancies, cleverly the harassment is pointed or addressed to the member in the audience but that is not to be, he is only telling the story, this admonishment is not to the person but a protagonist in the story he is narrating! This many times creates incredibly hilarious situations, with everyone kept wondering who could be his next target?!

I really don’t think an artform like this exist anywhere else, atleast not in India. Unfortunately primitive india is not far behind and has classified this artform as being performed by certain community!! Anybody with requisite talent can perform anything is not an uncommon thought in the world but then uncouth indians will wallow in its uncouthness. And yes something similar to this is tried by many comedy driven narrators in Malayalam TV.

Doesn’t measure up to represent syncretic ways

Temple hopper Mukherjeeji (self-assured arrogance of inbuilt ji is not accepted hence one more ji. Ridiculous) is incorrigible as ever. So again the fellow crossed my path at Guruvayur, thankfully this time I was at home. This fellow is temple hopping at the expense of the state, tax payer’s money. The state machinery is being misused and millions of rupees wasted with impunity and the audacity of wishing the crowd, thankfully he didn’t wave. The police force are stretched for no reason; indeed they started their security drill days earlier, compounding the amazing travesty. Livelihood of small shopkeepers and roadside vendors were affected and confiscated; the temple hopper should know how these losses matter. Meanwhile, pilgrims were hauled and bounded, and many left stranded in this festival season. In an amazing travesty it was reported that Mukherjeeji insisted on paying for gold locket that were offered to him. He should also be made to pay for the expense that the State incurred for his misuse and wasteful ways. Temple hopping is not an official duty, clearly our man is on a look out for second term. Camaraderie is known to settle trickiest of situations, and yes miracles happens all the time the reason why it gains credibility over common people. More than anything else it is the deviance that is being consolidated with power structure, and ensuing degradation of the society, that is the concern here.

President Mukherjee was quoted as saying “…magnificent heritage of our land where people of different religions, castes and languages live in harmony. …our history is one of assimilation, mutual respect and celebration of our differences, respecting each other’s beliefs and values...”. Caste as harmony?!! Yes so much sickening harmony, and ofcourse unique self-defeating nonviolence. Indeed Kerala is a case study on regressive society, and in many ways possibilities and limitations of Indian society as a whole. Kerala’s excellent social indices are much celebrated, that achieved standards of advanced societies by 1980s. It has been hailed as model of development. An outcome of egalitarian ruling of relatively benign royalty (this may not be exaggerated as they were ensconced in squatter’s world hence caretakers of crude values), communism (that reached saturation and turned regressive), social movements (cleverly hijacked by political expediency and degradations) and Christian educational institutions (used by rich and elite, though they remain glimmer of hope for underprivileged to a large extend). Like an individual trapped in regressive mindset societies too reach saturation, no amount of possibilities can unshackle them. Kerala had all the potentials by 1970s-80s, it had enviable social indices and standard of living. Literate, aware individuals and grass root movements that acted as positive binding. Unfortunately these couldn’t unshackle the limitation under which the society’s foundation was functioning. Individuals were only part of the framework and learned to live in these unacceptable regressive traditions and norms. Literacy never could reach the potential of education and remained a means of social pride and ego driven ventures. Exploitative market utilised the opportunity to capitalise on these regression, the consumerism unleashed the insatiable desires of self-esteem, that closely emulated squatter ways. Rarely was tradition contradicting consumerism while market introduced pointers of modernity herein. It’s a dangerous mix, hence the collective hallucination for gold and glitter, the degenerating family units and deteriorating mental health. Different religions exist in this regressive communion. Food habits, language and entertainment they share show the similarity, faith therefore is an enforced diversity while regressive ways natural outcome of this degraded ecosystem. The best will find its baser self to amalgamate, hence the society slips into worse ways.  There is nothing positive here, and the youngsters are just representations and carriers of these degradations. This society had all the potential and opportunity to capitalise on modern values but they couldn’t, they cannot. Hence collapsed in it’s own weight of degrading traditions and exaggerated assessments.

 ‘God’s own Country’ is the reflection of this arrogance, this self-assured place in world –majority of whom will not even know where kerala is, and a tacit acknowledgement from superior forces, which ofcourse they are intimately in contact. As more and more nauseating temples, mosques, churches so on prop at every corner, pushing out the egalitarian ways that existed time immemorial with intimate understanding of Nature, meanwhile competing regression and nonsense gives the impression of democratic discourse and open society. It is not surprising that despite high levels of social indices (also health/education facilities), that are comparable to most advanced nations, Kerala is incapable to produce people of calibre or competence. The average fellow is generally a egoistic buffoon with quite high estimate of himself, readied to work as a replicator and sniff for higher earnings with an ardent and persist aim to establish social status in traditionally transferred pointers. Market has only made it visceral, ripping out the seemingly considerate nuanced ways, that did existed from ancient times, and replacing it with terrible ways that is asserted as free modern stands. Democratic decibel only adds to noise and counter noise, there are no ideas or thoughts but personal attacks and counter attacks. Literacy is reduced to trashy film/tv related nonsense that has firmly established itself as mainstream narrations. Technology is but only as a means to celebrate and appropriate for the burgeoning greed and to raise esteem in society. Esteem and status being constant fixture and consistent motivator. Further degradation is insisted as blabbermouth mediocre market artists take centre stage, sometimes, even as moral authority and thought generators. This was unthinkable few decades back, but that is the miracle of technology as it bumps into mediocre society. It’s an astounding degradation and a firm reminder to where the Indian society will be moving. As social indices of India rise (which ofcourse is stuck with the most poor sub Saharan part of the world, thanks to camaraderie at the higher places and misplaced policy making. Mukherjeeji is only consolidation of these) don’t expect people to develop/responsible, the social mobility framework is utterly degraded. This society is seriously deviant and is incapable to understand or capitalise the immense potential the world has to offer. It thrives in its pits, regurgitating traditions to its progenies and multiplies in as ordained selves. Indians therefore saturates as replicators to the world, the society lacks the basic values to produce normal compassionate people that are the foundation of inquisitive and thriving ways, an ecosystem needed to produce insight to the problems and foresight to the solutions. It blunders from one way to another with all its misplaced esteem intact, meanwhile exploited and abused by the powerful as they cunningly facilitates to cannibalise itself. This role of facilitators is the most sought after, the bewitching acts to besotted world.

Mukherjeejis of the world has no business to elucidate about syncretic culture nor does he measure up to represent it. Far from it the squatter ensconced are serious threat and in the last many decades (when scoundrel CR moved in with his shudikaran of Presidential house after Mountbatten) have severely degraded the Indian society as they spread by gripping on to the power and ruse of democracy. I have a home at Guruvayur and have roamed the place hundreds of times but never went inside the temple. At the gate it is mentioned ‘non-hindus not allowed’, and never could understand that, ofcourse I do have serious problem with squatters inside and the legitimacy of these claims. Unfortunately Indian judiciary, market media or social elite are too incompetent to question these, indeed they are not only complicit but major benefactor. I really want to know who are the ‘hindus’ and who are ‘non hindus’. These squatter ensconced scoundrels expertise in ‘who should be allowed and not allowed’, this nonsense has a long horrendous tradition and still remains the  basis of the faith discourse in this primitive setting, and indeed forms the cultural value of this godforsaken people. According to my understanding of Hinduism Mukherjeeji doesn’t measure up as a Hindu nor the scoundrels inside the temples qualified to speak about Hinduism and decide who should enter.

In a civilised society people like Mukherjeeji would never be coming anywhere near democratic power structure. They are of the same calibre as gun hugging bible proud right wing republicans in US. These nonviolent advocating vegetarian espousing caste hugging souls may act liberal and look harmless but these are the most despicable type of humans who have constantly degraded and diminished the egalitarian nature of the Indian society.

Post script: the degradation is such that when the best of the world visit India they go disgrace while indians clap all the way. Incidentally they rarely visit when they are at the peak of their career. So Usain Bolt never intends his running skills when in India but plays cricket, Maradona lands to sponsor godforsaken gold jewelry in Kerala, recently Wimbledon tennis 2013 grand slam winner Bartoli was here not to promote or showcase tennis but as a fashion designer!! So fixers can fix for easy money as skills goes downhill, mediocre Indians are quite tolerant suckers. I am told the best part of the stupid game cricket (it is a stretch to call it a sport) happens during practice sessions, the mediocre come carefully prepared for brand positioning while so-called journalist go heavens reporting this ground breaking event

Let more ‘communities’ come home to roost

It is when the primitive society negotiates the realities of egalitarian values and modern setting that the gaps are seen in these compelling sights. And yes let each and every ‘community’ come out on the street and vandalise to show their strength and fight for more clout and pride. Squatter ensconced mediocre elite and those playing intellectuals (includes godforsaken sociologists) bargained, ofcourse in their entitled ways, that these puss filled festers will be scratched and licked in private pleasure and will only be showcased as amazing diversity when summoned. But alas, this is something that was not factored and they cringe in their respective ‘community’ pits wondering what has come to the world. Why are people such brutes, and yes what happened to Gandhi apostling peace that we are so world famous for? A wonderful conception where people peacefully come out of their putrid pits and hug the passerby with nonviolence seeping the street and gandhian values filling the air, and then dutifully go back to their pits and day dream. Well clearly it is not really happening that way. The stench of putrid pit fills the street. In such a discriminatory and amazingly prejudiced and stratified society egalitarian framework like democracy creates existential confusion and angst that civilised people may find difficult to understand. Let more and more ‘communities’ come out in each and every street and fight it out. Nonviolence in this primitive world is an act of assertive deviance as much as non-vegetarianism is a progressive step when faced with excruciatingly regressive vegetarianism. When it comes to India conventional wisdom and liberal contexts needs to be re-evaluated. The elite sections attempt to align with semantics of the civilized world falls well short, the hypocrisy is telling.    

Pests in Delhi: This is a chapter in Mr. Kutty’s autobiography (that I mentioned in my previous blog), it is wonderfully insightful hence I thought of quoting. The readers will see strong contemporary resonance, well it is but expected afterall it’s the duty of devious elders to pass on their artform to progenies as matter of tradition; inbreeding sharpens it to a level that ordinary mortals are never equipped to fathom the nuances of this deeply degraded ways.

After independence, three ways of Pests (each of different kind) invaded Delhi. They were the Gandhians, in the early years, followed by Public Relation people –born during the ‘Permit-Quota-License period’ –and then the Left intellectuals.

The Gandhians acquired bad reputation, long before Gandhiji died. Gandhiji was aware of this. The group included gang of unscrupulous people out to earn quick buck, using that great man’s name. There were Pure Gandhians who claimed they are vegetarian, but ate even beef privately; believed in truth only, but never told one. There were other Gandhians who propagated prohibition, but they themselves drank and enjoyed scotch. All sorts were there. They included criminals, crooks, conmen, and even common thieves. They all had gone jail ofcourse –but they never clarified for what. They were the most insincere and untrustworthy people around. Many of them managed to secure ‘tamrapatras’, and pensions, claiming they were freedom fighters.

A conversation between GV Tendulkar (a great photographer and writer, who had written the definitive biography of Gandhiji, in several volumes) and Gandhiji was reported to us when he visited Shankar at his office…When Gandhiji expressed some doubts about a project Tendulkar had proposed, the latter retorted “Bapu you can trust me. I am NOT a Gandhian”. Gandhiji had a good laugh…

After a time, the Gandhians had to give way to the next group who were active when all business, trade and commerce came under strict government control –the public relation fellows. These guys were ready to do anything to get favour for their clients from the bureaucrats and politicians. Some of them were freelancers. Most of them were attached to big business houses. They had heavy Expense Account purses, with no restrictions whatsoever. These people continued to operate for quite sometime. They managed to displace the Gandhians. Some of them had been operating previously as Gandhians, though!

After them came Left intellectuals who dominated this scene for a long period. They were mostly people with some academic qualification, professors, so-called researchers, journalists, actors, painters, and fellows claiming to be writers and thinkers. The common link that kept them all together was the Scotch, supplied by various Communist Embassies in New Delhi. These fellows had communist leanings but did not have the desire to join the party, lest it interfere with business, which was making money quick, because the party insist on share of your income for itself, from its members.

They were intelligent fellows who had discovered that Communism was easiest way to ‘Accumulate Capital.’

Their heyday was during the Indira regime, when one of the top Communist Party leaders, Mr Mohan Kumaramangalam left that Party, and joined the Indira cabinet! I knew a lot of journalist in this group. When the pay commission for the journalists came, one could know the salary of any one of them. But nobody could fathom their income!!

This group was, unlike the Public Relations crowd, able to make money without spending any. Indira’s advisers belong to this group. Occasionally you could spot some of these ‘Left Intellectuals’ in the ‘Right reactionary’ crowd, probably exploring possibilities here.

People who went to the American embassy for any business, or even to the US Information Service Library, were branded as ‘Right reactionaries’, even ‘CIA agent’ by these fellows! The rouble for these people was holy, the dollar ‘dirty’, though if they had the chance to get it, they themselves preferred the dollar. The collapse of Communist regimes in Europe left these chaps at a loose end! Soon they dispersed and formed their own individual lobbies for various politicians.

It’s an insight that will help you understand all kind of fixers, manipulators and pretenders around the power centres.  Their task becomes much easier when the sycophants are elevated into cabinet positions, indeed they lobby for these incompetent and unelectable geezers. Sometimes carefully position these as matter of pride, while the family surrounded by sycophants live in exaggeration and invincibility, these attribute expertly exploited by manipulators to hyperbole the hurt and victims readied to be fed. Elevation of amazingly incompetent people like Salman Kurshid and Ambika Soni can be explained from this framework, latter’s role in emergency atrocities made her particularly vulnerable hence easily manipulated by vested interests. How much of national interest was compromised and privacy of individuals intruded, for personal aggrandizement and private reasons, nobody will ever know.
