Well guys, I just spent the last hour sifting through loads of news videos and videos of political leaders screaming their lungs out about how they think the Hindu culture and people are like Gods who may just wither and die like a flower if exposed to anything “impure”. Frankly, the serious connotations and intense discussions where my earphones were filled with the incoherent babble of “babus”, “netas” and “babas” who wanted to show their immense love for their country, filled me with a myriad of sensations. The pattern which these sensations or feelings followed were along these lines: curiosity, interest, enthusiasm, ridicule, laughter, more laughter, uncontrollable laughter (tears coming out of my eyes at this point), a rising feeling of disgust, repulsion, feeling sick to my stomach and finally, pity. I had to then go through an intense deconditioning program which involved me watching several videos of Bill Maher, George Carlin, and Bill Burr so that I could get back to my place on Earth. Yes, it is pretty bad, people.
So, what I found is that the people who are running this country are living in a serious sense of timeline dissonance, in a reality which is not at all coherent with the pace at which our civilization is moving ahead at this point of time in history. The people at the elite levels of our society are living in a world of their own, where the “Hindu” culture is the name of the game and anything foreign to this culture is like a plague or virus which threatens the very existence of humanity (read Indians) itself. Well, I have come to respect other peoples’ inner fantasies and virtual realities, because frankly, I harbor quite a few of them as well. And, I don’t think there is anything wrong with harboring these inner virtual realities, given that you have the balls to carry on and make new virtual realities when they are popped like a balloon. On the other hand, what really gets me going is when someone forces their virtual reality on others, completely regardless of the perceptual spaces of others. Now imagine when a guy with a noticeably flawed, inherently stupid and narrow-minded virtual reality projects it onto a whole nation of people with diverse ways of life and outlooks. Well, that is why the nation is slowly going to the dogs, folks!
This is an age where megalomaniacs and fanatics have been given the reins to this country, which they are basically treating like their “bitch”. Yeah, that’s right. “India is my bitch and she will do what I tell her to do!” Well, the first thing they do is inject the country with so much fear, so much that a heroin addict might actually wisen up and say, “Yo, that’s a lot of needle use bro!”. The fear is injected in the way of saying stuff like, “You write or say anything against the culture of this country and you are an enemy and a considerable threat to the nation.” This fat and old elite crust of society represents the least aware group of people there is! Their only way of getting things done is to suppress the very will of the people and beat them into submission through tactics which make you rethink every single aspect of your life if you are not aware of the programming that is being meted out to you on a daily basis. If you give into their ways of thinking and perception you may soon be afraid of everything from porn sites to food items, to Muslims and tampons!
Let’s use this week to voice our opinions and aim the arrow of dissent at some of the major paranoid breakdowns that the government of India has had in recent times:
