Valluvar , Vallalar and our national Poet Bharathiyar were in a sense terrorist of noblest variety: Let's imbibe their spirit of Righteous Anger

In an age and environment  where information  is flooding  like torrential  rain it's  debatable  to what extent  we are  gathering  knowledge  and making  use of it for personal  gain or rendering  public good.

 Understanding is deeper than knowledge.At seventy I sincerely feel that education has not given me either understanding of myself or the knowledge of my subject.

Foolishly I had thought that age has mellowed me down and the angry man in me has vanished into thin air and that and I keep my eyes wide open and watch what  I am doing.

The absurdity and uncertainty of life including its unpredictability always remind me that unless there's grace from above and distilled essence of wisdom flowering from within one could be  a slave to anger ,that is the most dangerous virus which will paralyse your limbs and stupify the mind putting pressure on the heart and the entire constitution of the body.

Here more than the receiver , the giver ie the author and architect of anger suffers more.This is an interesting role reversal ...

This does not imply that ànger doesn't have any role to play.

Indeed poet Bharathi had always asked us to cultivate righteous and reasoned anger.That is what I have internalized right from my appointment as Assistant professor in 1970.Two decades later this trait gave me the title Academic Terrorist..

Benevolent Terrorism like benevolent dictatorship is very much the need of the hour all over the globe  as rightists in power have been  unleashing  violence  and suffering  on the disadvantaged  by fully exploiting  the pathetic  pandemic  situation. 

Nearer home intellectuals with dissenting voices  have been  hunted and the much worrisome  factor  is that both the media and the judiciary  have not bothered to collar the wrong  doers.

These  law abiding  citizens  are frustratingly  irritated  with the fast deteriorating economic  and social  situation  and its attendant consequences  for the livelihood  issues of the most dispossessed and disadvantaged.

 The intellectuals  who care for the sanity of the system operate with pen and tongue and not gun and hatred.Here blood does not spill but ideas clash and spark fire and that destroys all the evils and ills and help create a new society.

Viewed from this perspective valluvar, vallalar , Vivekananda and Bharathi are  great humanists  and benevolent terrorists of finest variety who couldn't tolerate injustice and discrimination of all kinds.

At a time when non issues  become  main issues and real economic  issues get relegated  to the background  we need the reasoned  and righteous  anger of Poet Bharathi. 

If the educated  and the elite and the vast middle  class get fooled and seduced by the call of the consolidation  of Hindu unity and Hindutva  victory  then  a time will come  when they will be annihilated  by the Tsunami  of Nature.. 

 We the people  of India  need to draw limits  to the mischief  indulged in by the rulers  in the name of language  politics  and  pseudo  religious  sentiment. The moral universe of these power  mongering  unprincipled  politicians  has shrunk  and  become almost  nonexistent. 

This is the time to internalize  the righteous  anger of Poet Bharathi  and  Valluvar  to put the economy  back on the rails.

Dear PM when will you become a lover of truth

Sir ever since  the days of  your stupid  misplaced political  measure namely demonetisation  but launched in the guise of Economic reform  which later your supporters have preferred to call as a regime  of policy change  to cull out black money and stamp out  the cult of corruption  ...you have been  telling  lies..

Without  having sufficient  new money you fooled the people :in 50 days the problem  will be solved.

Again  you thundered:black money holders are losing  sleep  ....like soldiers people  must come forward  to sacrifice  life..God  knows how the crooked and wicked made more money  during  this period. 

When  growth  faltered and unemployment  escalated  you called the critics as anti Indians. 

What's  the economic  rationale  for your anger against  Muslims?

Does your  RSS background  and training  warrant  that you must remain slave for your  ideology  even  while it's  destructive  of  the social  fibre of the nation.

You were critical  of Aadhar , GST , petrol  price hike , and many  other  things when you were chief minister in Gujarat.

After sitting  on the driver's  seat as PM you took  an U turn.

Touch your conscience  and tell me how you could be that ignorant  , of the dominant  role played by Nehru in building  modern  india and  strengthening  the basic social  and economic  infrastructure  and  laying  the foundation  for sustained scientific  and technological  progress.  .

Now you're  selling  the assets built by your predecessors  and  you blame them shamelessly. 

You think that you can maintain  stoic silence and use your office  to do full time  politics  and convert India into Gujarat  Raj..and favor  your friends...

Truth is known  to the entire  solar system. Be it chinese occupation  of our region, your degree certificates  or the prevailing  fragile  fiscal  situation  you tell lies.

While  RBI warns about the worst  economic  scenario  in the recorded  history , you mesmerize the  nation  like a magician  that the country  is poised for Mars.

When  are you going  to behave  like a sensible  and responsible  PM? 

There's  a saying: 

Truth  is like surgery.  It hurts but cures.Lie is like a pain killer. It  gives instant  relief  but has side effects  for ever.

The problem  today is all  your lies are generating  huge side effects  and corana  is laughing  at you. 

Again  you ask the poor to sacrifice. You're  the only PM in the entire  solar system  to give large concessions  to corporates  and squeeze the maximum  from the ordinary  even  in a pandemic  situation. 

And also have time for photo  shoot  and that is also  relished by vested interests. 

You have  not lived in truth  and honesty

Your lies will backfire  one day 

But the nation  is hurt enough  .

This was written last September at Adelaide..This was the time when other nations were preparing for the second wave and augmenting their medical infrastructure and busy  with vaccinations process...

Here what you and your health minister told ,I must rmind now and international media is tearing into pieces.

Your carefully built image ,the brand   is just collapsing and also wrcking ruin and causing havoc throughout the country

The nation cries: I can't breathe...

We don't mind if he goes, many  including your admirers say.

Arundhati Roy has already written to you to step down

Many put posters in anger.

I know you  will be the last person to feel the pain and seek  apology for your lapses and lack of foresight.That was evident during demonetization crisis.

In terms of the scale duration and depth of the crisis the current health emergency is so devastating that  we will become a nuisance and threat to international community too.They will not remain quiet like a pussy cat.

This is what Arundhati Roy was hinting at and now The Washington Post underlines it thus:

India is not a far away problem. In pandemic time and distance every place is near by .
