Conspiracy against Indian state



Though this blogger isn’t terribly concerned about state as an entity but does realise when there is something amiss as also being located I have stakes. I was reading one of the reputed international British newspapers online sometime back, media frenzy over rape of an elderly nun in West Bengal (however shocking this is one wonders what makes it a ‘national’ news in a country where women and children of marginalized sections are systematically abused and heinous crime perpetrated on them on a daily basis). It was also around the same time that there was an attack on church in Pakistan killing dozens of people. Intriguingly the news from India was prioritized over horrendous happening in Pakistan in this British newspaper. This glaring lack of proportion got me thinking (to add to it the communal angle to rape was quite flimsy and a mischievous attempt on sensationalisation). There seem to be concerted effort being made in recent times to malign Indian state -in effect against Modi government. Clearly some well-orchestrated attempts are being made to degrade the government in international forums. They are working on ‘minorities in siege’ narration. This is undoubtedly the work of people who were fed over last many decades, they are showing their international clout to discredit the government. Having lost power, and not quite used to this lose, they have shifted to international forums. There is an intense power struggle going on as some stare into oblivion. It is amazing the absurd level people can stoop to. Hopefully the Indian government is keeping a tag and taking appropriate actions within the ambit of democracy.

Ironically there are some serious issues that need international attention, and quite understandably these will be ignored since it will show the hypocrisy of elite sections, and this is where international community needs to toughen against India. At the end of the day the warring elite (fighting for common people sake is a honored tradition, it also carries otherworldly brownie points and entitlements) belong to the same framework, this is a fratricidal war where common people have no significance. Two specific case needs immediate international attention: First is the issue of climate change as also exploitation of natural resources. Second, attempts to equate caste with race. In both case you will see warring elite sections closing ranks as they are completely entrenched and have cunningly manipulated these in their favour. They have been quite viciously sucking on common people. Serious issue of climate change rarely get discussed as farmers are paying a heavy price negotiating the vagaries of nature, rising price hits the poorest. In the international forum Indian government (i.e. the cunning bureaucrats ably goaded by exploitative corporates masquerading agents of development) have played on low per capita carbon emission. A society with so many disparities you can be very sure that elite sections carbon emissions could be one of the highest in the world. They have Americans as role models, indeed they have made all attempts to push American wasteful ways through daily tv, as exploitative corporates march in for easy picking. Some even locate liberal values herein, and feel assured of their superiority over common people. Recently TATAs even arranged truck race. The depravity of it. The true meaning of vasudevakutumbakam would be if the world is taken as one entity in determining carbon emission. We cannot carry the burden of the wasteful elite, their gargantuan consumption and hedonistic ways. Organisations like Greenpeace will have to activate more vigorously at international forums against the exploitations of natural resources in poorer corrupt societies like India. They will face the heat in India as sponsors of election funds ask for quid pro quo. Exploitation of natural resources and the benefits herein, also rent seeking feudal benefits, is how Indian elite make a living. English skills, service industry and emulating others bring up the competence angle.

The issue of caste and the devious attempts to compare with race has been elaborated quite extensively by this blogger. It needs international intervention, as powerful entrenched forces are ready to scuttle. Barbarian nonviolence will have to stop. PM Modi’s assertion of India as land of peace is a well-intentioned bad joke. This blogger again call upon international community to declare caste as against humanity. India’s claim to UN permanent seat is untenable. A country with primitive conceptions cannot and should not be allowed to take its position at international high table. Though countries like China too have serious human rights issues but India’s case is damning as primitive mindset is part of squatter’s tradition that is inflicted on common people, while mediocre elite gain sustenance from it. Indians will have to be scrutinized quite strictly, apparently they are falling quite short of civilized ways. 


Communal Judge should be kicked out: Recently in an attempt to exaggerate ‘minority in siege’ narration a Judge of SC showed his communal manipulation. It is clear that he has been goaded into it. It is ironical that this fellow thought of wanting a holiday as point of protest considering how common people are suffering because of tardy judiciary. Further, he needs to understand that every Sunday is weekly holiday for Christian reasons. He must look at neighboring countries to know the significance. Also, since our man is from Kerala he needs to understand that most important festivals like Onam is not a holiday in north India. People learn to adjust and work accordingly. It is this pernicious nature of asserting right that becomes problem (arrogant Britain is learning) and there are some who manipulate these as minority rights, in a limited understanding of religion as only identity. Christians are richest section in Kerala and I don’t think this fellow has ever faced any discrimination or deprivation that most Indians face on daily basis. The audacious nature of his protest was fueled by cunning squatters masquerading liberal, who see these as definitive reference for showcasing their pretentious self. Clearly this self-obsessed judge (not at all uncommon in judiciary) doesn’t understand the syncretic nature of society he lives in nor has any empathy hence is not suited to be a judge at the highest court of the land. 

If Christians truly holds egalitarian values, then they should stop hobnobbing with deceitful Indian elite, they need to follow the tradition of seeking the marginalized. For the same reason they must take steps to restrict entry for progenies with caste references into the educational institutions. They must take a stand on this. Knowing the history of church in European context as also recent stand by churches in kerala over Gadgil it becomes clear where Christian elite stand. This makes the task of Machiavellian liberal masquerading squatters easy.
