This is Modi's election. And in that, this election is a battle for Indians to wrestle back their identities that have been assaulted and demonized. In order to facilitate colonial structures that perpetuate slavery. This Indian election is an exercise in freedom.
The Case against Patanjali by Indian Medical Association and the tone of Judiciary is alarming. We need to look into its historical and global context to fully grasp its ramification.
Why do seemingly normal people commit atrocities and genocides? More importantly, why do millions other go along with these crimes as participants? We explore the Perpetration-Induced Trauma and its impact on the societies.
India has an old visitor from Pakistan. Although he seems ordinary, he is anything but. He shared a bench in school with the Indian Prime Minister in his village school in Gah a village in Pakistan. He has some special soveniers for him:
– Soil and water of the village. – Manmohan Singh’s school certificates from Class I to Class IV (wonder how he got those jobs without complete school certificates?!) – Photographs of Gah village and Katasraj temple – Punjabi tillae wali jutti.
He is unaware if he will need to take an appointment with the PM and remarks in a very simple and uncomplicated way when asked about the appointment –
Oh lae lengae, uske ghar chalae jayangae, bhabhi hain, bachae hain. Daftar ka nahin koi shauk mujhe, mujhae to woh 11-12 saal wali umar ka pyar pata hai (We will take the appointment, or we will go straight to his house, his wife and kids are there. I am not keen on meeting him in his office, I just want to see my childhood friend)
Just that his friend’s house is one of the highest security building in the country! 🙂 I am sure Dr. Singh will meet his friend but I doubt his gifts to his childhood friends will be as valuable as theirs were for him? There is rarely anything that trumps love!
