For those who cannot see the rot and lies in the entire governing system in India, in Modi's BJP and Godhra, in Sonia Gandhi's Congress and the 1984 pogroms against Sikhs(and Baranagore Cossipore before) and the Bhattacharya/Basu's CPIM and Marichjhapi/Nandigram/Netai massacres----- there must be some worshipful neo-or proto- nazi state of mind in play ( a large number of Indians have always had an admiration for the likes of Hitler). For in saluting what is touted as the world"largest"democracy, in believing that somehow India will prevail, despite itself, because of its huge faith in the growing mall rat class (.2% of the population) who are distributing amongst themselves the 8% "growth", there must be no conscience left.
None of these 3 major political parties in India reflect an iota of decency, due process, a sense of real compassion for the majority poor of this country, nor for minorities---they laugh and jeer at the poor behind their backs, they kill and rape lower castes everyday, they send their goon para-military after the nation's aboriginal inhabitants, her forests, her rivers, her mountains to extract resources for foreign entities...Is it not ironic that Indians and their expatriate friends have to seek justice in the courts of the United States, whose government is the largest and practically only goon force in the world! And this is very simply because the Indian judicial system has collapsed. It makes "favorable" decisions based on "public perception" , its judges pronounce judgements in favour of companies like Vedanta, because one of the presiding judges "has shares" in the company and so "they must be a good company." And then they commit Dr. Binayak Sen to a life in prison on evidence that even a tin pot dictatorship would blush to carry out. And so we must find "other" ways to glorify this India, some other deflectionary notions, like heritage, like the spirit of non-violence (another myth about the Indian body-politique) or the achievements in cricket perhaps?! And what do leftists and human rightists do? They write columns like this in obscure newsgroups, raving and ranting about definitions. At least the youth of North Africa do not waste time.
