AAP is bet on future…

 Stupendous no doubt, and remarkable that it has comeback from setback, many had even written them off. Without falling into exaggerators and manipulators AAP if it understands its limitations and strengths can do amazingly well in big cities like Mumbai/Bengaluru/Pune, as also smaller states like Haryana, Punjab…It is an alternative that people wants, but it shouldn’t be influenced by market media exaggerations and shouldn’t be in a hurry. It will have to be very careful about manipulators sniffing around who have amazing ability to morph into any requirements that assures lick. They fatten themselves by eating from inside. It is high deception game that pretentious elite Indians have unique ability, common people know their ways (indeed given a chance they will emulate! it is a social mobility framework that Indians are trapped in). Congress party has fed these people and paid for it, they now cannot live without power and clout. They are touts of power, nepotism and cronyism their weapons. They have their tentacles spread across. AAP should be very careful, and I am sure they have learned from the mistakes and have necessarily sobered. However that doesn’t mean AAP start playing safe and morph into another political party. They can surely take up and work on issues that resonates with people, genuine cause that is not manipulation (unlike the blunders committed earlier, repeat will not be forgiven).

The entrenched elites who control the narration and suck on the big licks know the game, and will ransack on any opportune moment. They will eat from inside with nice sweet liberal sounding decibels. I am told likes of Crude woman has already start to sniff the trail, most likely she is raising her stakes among the manipulator community (the side show aiming for big lick continues!).  

 BJP does a Congress: Swagger of arrogant Congress leaders has started to infect the BJP, I guess it is power framework. Nice talk and profligate ways cannot go together, it is called hypocrisy. I really cannot understand how does someone wear dress with his name?!!, the cost of which has become a folklore, very difficult to remove that from public memory. The leaders tend to become like the erstwhile rulers, small time maharajas. Further, parachuting ‘leaders’ and imposing it on party workers, taking committed cadre and followers for granted is something that smacks of traditional arrogance. These manipulations cannot work, particularly in city states like Delhi where they have options. Further, a person who spent decades of her/his life in uniform cannot be normal, though popular medium may celebrate these people but they are unsuitable. Insulated uniformed world cocoons them into self-importance (‘I didn’t fail but the party failed’!!). Kiran Bedi is didactic in her ways and her school teacher sounding sermons has strong limitations. She is also a compulsive attention seeker (indeed hobnobbing with ZK&Co and other manipulators at one point, influence is obvious). They have unique combination of blabber talks, lacking contemplation, pathetically arrogant, assured of invincibility, makes them obnoxiously pushy. 

BJP must protect and nurture its core interest groups, and shouldn’t fall into the trap of ‘liberal’ elite –their squatter modern seeking cousins (a vicious self-serving variety that has parked itself in power centres, these mediocre people have severely undermined institutions). Though this blogger doesn’t have much expectation from BJP, since they are mostly from traditional elite, firmly entrenched in squatter’s, the other side of the coin as Congress. Arun Jaitely could easily pass of as a mix of Mani Shanker and Digvijay, with extra dose of cunningness. You must have seen the way he handled the black money revelation at HSBC, such routine matter, patronising tone. Surely AAP will take them on black money. Farce talk of entrenched Delhi elite like Jaitely is something that AAP should be break in with straight talk that will surely resonate with people. 

This blogger though will prefer BJP to be a significant presence, as the necessary balance is needed. Atleast in the later part of its rule BJP must bring in UCC and also remove Art. 370, reform archaic laws and bring in credibility to the institutions. Swift action against erring politicised bureaucrats is welcomed.  These degradation and lack of reforms has caused immense misery to common people. Clearly Congress had also degraded awards and state largesse to cronies, and this blogger doesn’t expect BJP to take ethical grounds on these matter (ideally the state must award people who really matter, since they are so degraded that is not going to happen), it will work against its interests. There are people who have staked themselves for the success of BJP (includes popular names who should be given their due, those who have been ignored by manipulators of Congress) ignoring their base and trying to nurture pretentions will be stupid and will surely backfire. 

This blogger finds nothing wrong in ghar wapsi (something stupid that can be ignored, and yes they are within their rights), but the way mediocre squatter entrenched liberal masquerading elites have reacted has peeved me. Clearly decades of being fed power and clout has created a section that mistakes itself to be safe guarders of society, and would like firm control over narration and sway it as they wish. They also have international clout and give the impression of spokespersons of Indian goodness. Nothing could be far from the reality. BJP must nurture people to counter these, there are people who are good in perception play. In the end one can be sure common people will have rough deal. …well atleast AAP will be constant presence!!  
       
Thus spake Pope …

Pope started with such big expectation, as also right intent added to the fact that he is from ‘third world’.  But unfortunately he is just a religious leader, and that is what he is. It is amazing the kind of things this influential man has been saying recently. Latest being ‘not having children is selfish’!! These will reciprocate in primitive god hugging societies, indeed irrespective of any religion. Numbers increase the clout, and therefore power. Does Pope Francis realise that the most pressing problem is population. It has severely undermined everything, every progress and has put immense pressure on planet and resources (at a personal level high population has severely degraded my standard of life, I face population pressure all the time). Indeed in the context of things having children is a selfish act, and the way they are brought up in narrow walls of religions, family, nations so on further trivializes the matter. Indeed Pope will find resonance with the market, European economists are suggesting that baby boom will kick start the economies!! Economists and Pope are the latest market friendly happiness disseminating zombies. I am hugely disappointed with Pope Francis, we had such high hopes on him. 


This blogger understands that evolved societies don’t have priorities on family or progenies nor do they prefer religion. This blogger for one, understand and associate with such people and conceptions. These structures, that human create to control and divide, and yes feel secure, has outlived its significance. Must add, has become an oppressive nuisance. That is what is happening in Europe, probably that is Pope's cause of concern, concomitantly immigrants have started to change the nature of societies. There is a sense of insecurities among the inhabitants.  Indeed the egalitarian values are sought to modified and fit into the sensibilities of unegalitarian worldview, and numbers matter. Some religion with its primitive worldview and arrogant nature of its followers has the tendency to degrade societies. To begin with why do followers of some religions refers others as infidels and unbelievers. I find basic flaw, indeed indecency, in the terms of engagement with others. Its squatter’s world of entitled self importance over others, seeking worth by degrading others is nothing new in this part of the world, but when it is associated with religious freedom then it is shocking.

A case of kettle calling…




The above picture is of Dalai Lama leaving White house, through the back door, and what you see is garbage around. This should put in perspective on high moral ground some are taking. Most Indians remain tolerant, though more tolerant than what is needed. They many time lack the intent to protest, as the cunning elite obfuscate the reality and take advantage of the confusion. India should be judged in relation to deteriorating situation around the world, clearly it cannot be isolated from the surrounding. Indians don't live in pristine perfect world. Little skirmishes happening vis a vis Christian (in Delhi) should be dealt accordingly, though loony left (with some gargantuan hedonistic appetite) and some mischief makers who want to corner Union government on the matters is ridiculous to say the least. Just because evangelical groups have lots of clout in US shouldn’t be reason why PM should ‘break his silence’. He has better things to do, and yes, like US President, PM Modi has his constituency/interests to worry about. He must work accordingly. Some localised stone throwing/break ins cannot be exaggerated. These are law and order problems. In the precedence of problems Indians face these are nothing.   
  
Most importantly, the reason why Christian missionaries/groups are holding some prime properties in cities (quite disproportionate to its population) is because of colonial power legacy. As and when India got independence these should have been taken by the government (except the church) and converted into what was considered important for nation (In Mysore many of the erstwhile royal structures have been converted into government institutions). Though must add here that Christian missionaries have done tremendous work in the field of education as also giving strength/moral support to marginalised. Freedom fighters firmly entrenched in squatter’s wanted to show themselves as modern and egalitarian therefore they associated themselves to colonial remnant. Christian missionaries were direct beneficiaries of colonial incursions. They were assured of the spoils. It is also becoming clear that in West Christian missionaries were quite aware of genocide on Jews, they may have even actively connived with fascist. With mullahs getting funded through petrodollars, and missionaries enjoying the benefits of colonialism as also cash rich west, it is but natural that ghar wapsi will gain credence. Hindu rightist groups should have their space, and nobody should have problems with these. It is hypocrisy of highest order if they find any problem with these, and that is precisely what squatter masquerading modern are hinging on. The hypocrisy is obvious. It is arrogance of the mediocre elite that they can dictate terms of engagement as it suits them. Clearly things have changed, and they are tugging on international strings to gain credence. The nation-state will respond if it feels that its internal affairs are being unwarrantedly prodded on and exaggerated by interest groups. Balance is necessary. In the meanwhile…PM Modi should break his silence on pertinent issues like for instance why are Anglo-Indians nominated to Rajya Sabha. What is so special about them? Indeed on what basis was such provision granted?

There are some mischief makers sucking under the garb of conscientious NGO, they delve in cities sucking and cannibalising on genuine NGOs who are doing tremendous work at the grassroot level. These therefore try to gain credence at the international level with their manipulation and decibel sweetness. The one at Sirifort learned lessons by understanding about lice (ridiculous), a clear case of person being planted (hence reaping the benefits) than one is genuinely involved. It is a Gandhian moment. Gandhi wouldn’t have known about discrimination if he wasn’t pushed out of plush compartment in South Africa, which he had comfortably ensconced as part of entitlement. The ordained world he carried from India. Amazing is it not!! That he spent all his life in India without realizing discrimination is truly impressive. If he was born little later I would have speculated that he lived in the lovely world of Malgudi!! More than ‘Gandhi would be shocked’ (Obama), I am finding more reasons to be ‘shocked by Gandhi’, indeed Gandhians truly amazes me. Always do. As the learned Judge pontificates ‘Hinduism is way of life’. Ghar wapsi is absolute nonsense but those highbrow high angst types protesting against are what makes it groovy. Truly homecoming of scoundrel squatters.
 
O dear O dear. Take it easy Mister Rushdie

Bhalchandra Nemade is a respected writer, who is recently awarded the highest literary award in the country, he has his views, and is mostly right on. Clearly English is a killer language, it is a well-documented fact. English writer, despite low readership and quality, gets more share because of market, and in Indian context some amazingly mediocre English writers are exaggerated because of this very reason.Though I consider Naipaul writer of highest order, as also brilliantly incisive. Rushdie should take it easy, it was coming his way for some time now. Wasn’t he who a decade or two back grandly condemned Indian non English writers (protest were dismissed as ‘sprightly’). Obviously chickens are coming home to roost, the tap from Aunt Elzi is of no help. Dear me, dear me, what thou has cometh to thee world!!! More than Nemade not reading Rushdie it is whether Rushdie has read Nemade? Bravo Mr Nemade we would like to hear more from you.

Uncouth India exhibits itself at the highest level



Someone send across this picture the other day. He was very angry. The anger was on expected jingoistic framework of ‘respect the martyr’s wife’ so on. I have nothing against these, after all a nation state is duty bound to take care of its martyr. Jingoism is part of democracy in primitive societies. In countries like USA it’s on the sleeves, as the market dominated crude society just has veneer of sophistication as most don’t put premium on knowledge but on acquisition while sensibilities are outsourced to faith running rackets. It has an amazingly horrendous variety of irresponsible middle class that increasingly belligerent, uncouth and mediocre Indians have taken it as reference of everything modern.

It is therefore quite appropriate that USA President is also in the framework of this amazing travesty that one can observe in the picture. It is an occasion of highest level of prestige for the nation but look how the Indians have performed. I cannot blame the present government as they are only following the ‘tradition’. It goes back to India’s freedom fighters and the framework they put across for the modern nation, well supported by tail wagging writers, thinkers and dutifully reported by intellectually challenged journalists. It is the squatter’s framework that strives to strike balance the heftiness of modernity. Mukherjee (the temple hopper with inbuilt jee) is engrossed in his duty to the nation, so are others. The umbrella bearers are seen giving the masters respite from vicissitudes of nature so that they can concentrate on bigger matters (does their job profile mentions about umbrella holding?). That this doesn’t extend to the ‘martyr’s wife’ –a young woman arguably facing intense personal turmoil. Normal people/system would have seen to ease her discomfort.  Mukherjee who was all the while seeing rain drizzle on her could have taken the umbrella, and given her some comfort, or atleast he could have asked someone, or even snapped his little finger. That he couldn’t, that nobody could is what defines Indians. The nonviolent barbarians. It is a zombie moment at the highest level.

Now let’s come to other detail which is part of hallowed tradition. Look at the size of chair, apparently the host has bigger (ornated, oversized) chair compared to ‘chief guest’. How wonderful!! Even the most impoverished families when entertaining a guest would extend the best that is there to offer, sometimes at their own acute discomfort. They may not know much about attithi devo bhava but they understand propriety. Temple hopping Mukherjee will see nothing amiss, he is in the world of entitlements, bigger chair is ordained by higher forces which he has no control over. Its squatter’s framework modified, to show thyself the centre of the world, that our freedom fighting elitist leaders and disgusting bureaucrats have put in place.

Last month I was travelling in Delhi metro, and as it happens sometimes you have some ‘nutcase’ talk loudly. This elderly man was talking to everyone who cares to listen, one or two people responded. He raised some relevant questions and one of them being why is the President of India staying in ‘500acres house’ (I didn’t cross check, I don’t want to) while most people don’t even have place to stay. Quite relevant thought. Clearly the scoundrels who were the leaders (indeed masquerading freedom fighters but aiming at lick from the transfer of power) wanted to replicate British model, despite the apology of freedom. President was to be compared to the monarch. The so called leaders from Nehrus to Patels to Radhakrishnans didn’t see anything amiss. That the elected leader i.e. PM will be seen as subservient to someone who stands for pomp and grandeur, essentially was to put the elected leader in his ‘lowly’ place.  I am underlining it because this is what Indians are good at. Maybe the idea of President as an essential continuity from electoral matters is understandable but as expected they messed up on pomp. It is disgraceful that a poor nation has ‘not much to do’ and ‘unelected’ head displaying the degrading pomp, a feudal reminisce. It’s amazing that they just couldn’t hide their admiration for British monarchy, essentially a self-justification for their entitled degrading squatter’s thoughts. This is replicated in every state in the name of Governor, a wasteful specie, a regret hoisted on state government.   

Rastrapathi Bhavan should be a museum, displaying best of India, also a part can be reserved to host foreign heads by the PM. President should be given a small two room set where he can undertake constitutional function when called upon to without much pomp. I know these are wishful thinking, nor have any President so far refused to stay at Rashtrapathi Bhavan, referring to colossal waste hoisted on people.  

Now to the matter of displaying military might. These are done by insecure societies, and have much pride of place in primitive societies, indeed their constant cultural references hang around these. This blogger finds people who wear fancy dress (also referred to as uniform) and trained to kill others, and in the process getting killed as extremely saddening. There are many who are ready to fight and die for the geographical region called nation, and it is duty of the nation to compensate and respect these martyrs. Considering that mullah indoctrinated rabid dogs are on constant itch across the border. But this blogger is against increased militarisation of society, soldiers needn’t be celebrated (primitive market like USA are good at these, they mainstream these through gun hugging movies). A soldier singing war mongering song to young child is not poignant moment, I think it borders to child abuse. Anachronism cannot be celebrated. A soldier is essentially someone who has to follow orders and lay his life when asked to, it needs an exceptionally low intellect human to be trained to do these. Amazingly in the construct of nation-state, feudal egos, prestige and chauvinisms these are much easier than what is assumed. There are millions who will queue up to give lives away. EU has done away with borders, a remarkable achievement. But societies across the world haven’t changed much in centuries despite modern gadgets. For instance, in India every other movie is about some low brow fellow in uniform as saviour. Art becomes degradation, freedom an apology. But I really cannot blame since the surroundings are becoming increasingly insecure, societies are not enlightening.  


Coming to the speech made by Obama at Sirifort, the market media had their pick, indeed it all was frenzy. For people these overenthusiasms, that Indian media are prone to, are an embarrassment. Pretentious one’s looking to embarrass the government with its agenda, Obama gave the bytes that could be interpreted anyway you could. Clever fellow. This blogger though expresses his protest in his strongest terms on something market media missed. ‘Caste’ is not expression of ‘diversity’. Mr Obama should be careful with the kind of bleeding hearts from whom he gets his brief in India. These are disgraceful people. Casteism is racism. He better know it and should be careful with Indians, they know how to camouflage their nastiness.
The other day I was watching Shekhar Gupta, a senior journalist. In Indian it means they may not have much insight into Indian society or any association to their problem, but would know how to associate with power structure and further their career. Guptaji is battle hardened, meaning he understands the minds of devious politicians and political parties. How much is that an achievement I wouldn’t know but yes he has the power and clout. What else you need!! Now our man was interviewing Bhagwati, the economist. I am quite convinced now that economists are quite dumb people. They have not much understanding of social context, and try their best to fit in their economics theories. There is nothing original about these obnoxious people. Bhagwati seems to have issues with Sen, and does crosses lines of decency. I am not a fan of pretentious names dropper like Sen (though I like some of his writings) but Bhagwati was vicious. Never mind why get into two economists, who seems like equally dumb (with Sen having found greatness in Sanskrit. The necessary balance that he avoids makes him amazingly puerile. In the context of things this man should apologise). Bhagwati exhibited his lack of intellect by claiming his casteist reference ‘I am a bania, like Gandhi’. Guptaji too chucked in ‘I too am bania’. Its called camaraderie, senior journalists worth his salt are known to play these. Its an upward mobile password. It’s like referring Martin Luther King as ‘Negro’. Though caste reference is worse than racism but the funny thing is King would be appalled being referred to as Negro, Gandhi wouldn’t have any problem being referred to as Bania. It’s called tolerance, unity in diversity. Likes of Shekhar Gupta should be in fringes of civilised society, the fact that he sashay as senior journalist is what this society is all about.
