The Blind Men and The Indian Politics

It was six men of great repute To learning much inclined, Who went to see the roots of India (Though all of them were blind), That each by observation Might satisfy his mind. The First approached the nation, And happening to strand But guided by its broad and sturdy side, At once begins to understand: "God bless me!- the ethos of the country Is very like a Hand!" The Second, feeling the pain of peasants, Cried: "Ho!- what have we bred So very oppressive and bland and dark? Grows hence my sense of dread This colour of the mystic land Is very like a shade of Red!" The Third approached the wild spirit, And in a manner very elegant Awoke the collectivity of outcastes, Which he found relevant "I see," quoth he, "Indianness Is very like an Elephant!" The Fourth reached out his eager hand, And found the other claims bogus "What most this wondrous civilisation is like Has come to my notice; 'T is clear enou...

Buying steroids for debates

It is impressive, bigger and better than what I imagined it to be. It is situated in the heart of Delhi but remains hidden. The market of ideological jargon is booming and is filled with teeming buyers for the most part of the day. There is something for everyone here. Much inspired by the penchant of Trump for good deals, my right-wing friend who accompanied me got a great deal himself. The shopkeeper gave him a complimentary list of Islamic countries where people could be asked to go when he purchased a bottle of nationalism. I was amazed and kept looking around. My eyes soon fixated on a big store. I took leave from my friend who by then had taken a dose to test the efficacy of the potion. While I was wandering around the store, I managed to catch hold of a salesperson (no, not salesman! I bought tablets of political correctness myself). He was helpful and gave me a detailed account of this hidden market. I remember a part of the conversation which I have jotted down for yo...

To be liberal or not to be

Image
"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." This quote is the focal point of liberalism which is based on the ideas of equality and liberty. There are different variants and schools of liberalism but the forementioned two ideas are more or less common to all, though to different degrees. Not anymore. Liberalism has taken a turn where ideas have to stick to the conformity of the boundaries laid by the upper echelons of liberals. The central ideas which seem to be approved are open world, no boundaries, no discrimination, appeasing minorities (religious, linguistic, sexual, racial amongst others). There is no room left for discussion, nor is any allowed. Take this for example. A recent incident in India involving Ms. Gurmehar Kaur stormed the nation. There were two sets of people, one presumably liberals who supported her call for peace and end of warmongering, and the other set which opposed her ideas. Both sides...

Uniform Civil Code: The dilemma

Much has been discussed and debated recently about Uniform Civil Code with Central Government being asked by the apex court of its response on Shayara Bano's petition. Petitioner Bano challenged the constitutionality of Section 2 of the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937, in so far as it seeks to recognise and validate polygamy, triple talaq and 'nikah halala'. The Union government told the Supreme Court that 'triple talaq', 'nikaah halaal' and polygamy, as practised by the Muslims in India, were not "integral to the practices of Islam or essential religious practices". This has brought the topic of Uniform Civil Code into foreground again. While a large majority approves of UCC, the critics of UCC come mainly from Islamist groups who claim this would be a violation of their Right to practice their religion. Interestingly, apart from the aforementioned fundamental right, Constitution also says that "The State shall endeav...

How to visit Pakistan in 5 easy steps!

Hello Folks, Have you always wanted to visit Pakistan but couldn't, due to reasons like Visa issues? Now, here is a tutorial on how you can achieve your goal. 1. Log in to your Social Media Account, either Facebook or Twitter. I recommend Facebook, because if you reading this post, I don't think you have many followers over Twitter.  2. Scrabble something on intolerance. Don't forget to add that this has risen during Modi regime. 3. Now, if you have pro BJP or Hindu extremists in your friend list, the job has been done. Also, this would make you the eye candy of all the Seculars/Muslim extremists/AAP fanboys you have in your friend list. *Don't expect me to include the fictitious tribe of Congress supporters.*  4. If you don't have such friends, no worries; we have a way out. Go to the Facebook page of any BJP leader and comment on a post there, about intolerance. This should serve the purpose. 5. Voila, your trip to Pakistan has been sponso...

Modi and India

Mr. Narendra Modi, the person whose name needs no introduction, is in the centre of the dais now. No more debates over AAP vs BJP, no more discussions over the Gujarat development model, all we are looking forward to, is for him to deliver, to rise to the occasion and fulfil all his promises. The elections have given "him" a clean majority, the people of India gave their mandate solely on the merits of Narendra Modi. The general elections 2014, might in fact be arguably remembered as the elections when a person rose above everyone to garner the popular support. To date, it has been almost 30 days for Modi ji since he took in charge of the Prime Minister Office. This period has seen a lot of hustle and bustle in the PMO. Many decisions have been taken, some of which received a positive response while some have been criticized heavily. Modi sarkar received a warm welcome from the market which showed tremendous growth as soon as the results were out. People could see th...
