தமிழ் நாடு மற்றும் அகில இந்தியாவின் நலம்

தமிழ் நாடு மற்றும் அகில இந்தியாவின் நலம்
பத்மினி அர்ஹந்த்
இந்தியா மற்றும் தமிழ் நாட்டின் நலன் இந்த மூன்று செயல்களில் பெறலாம்.
முதலாவது – மது பானம் துறக்க வேண்டும். மது விற்பனை அரசாங்கத்திற்கு மிக பெரிய வருமானம்.
அதே சமயத்தில் இந்த மது குடி பழக்கம் ஏழை மற்றும் எளிய மக்களின் துன்பம் தாழ்த்தப் பட்ட நிலையின் பல காரணங்களில் முக்கியமானதாகும்.
அதனால் மதுவை இளைஞர்களும் தவிர்ப்பது நல்லது. மேற்கொண்டு அரசாங்கம் இந்த மதுவின் வருமானத்தை மக்களுக்கு தெளிவாக வெளிப்படுத்துவதில்லை.
அதோடு இந்த மது வருமானம் மற்றும் பொது மக்களின் வரியினால் வரும் மற்ற வருமானத்தை அரசாங்கம் அவரவர்கள் தன் சொந்த அயல் நாட்டு வங்கிகளில் சேர்த்து அந்த கல்ல பணத்தைக் குமித்து வைக்கிறார்கள்.
இந்த நிலமை ஏழை எளியவர்கள் மற்றும் இளைய சமுதாயத்தை பெரும் அளவில் பாதிக்கிறது. இந்த நிலயை நிராகரிப்பது நலனாகும்.
இரண்டாவதாக – திரையுலகம் இக்கால கட்டத்தில் அரசியல் மற்றும் அயல் நாட்டு அந்நியர்கள் விஷத்தைக் கக்கும் பிரச்சார கருவி.
இதனின் மூலம் சமுதாயத்தின் மத்தியில் வேண்டுமென்றே பிரிவுகள், பிளவு, பகை, வெறுப்பு, கசப்பு, காழ்ப்புணர்ச்சி, வன்முறை, குழப்பம் இப்படி பலவகை அனாவசிய வேறுபாடுகளை படம் என்ற பெயரில் உருவாக்கி, தீமையை எதிர்ப்பவர்களை தாக்கும் தீய சாதனமாக மாற்றி விட்டார்கள்.
அதனால் நல்ல பண்பாடு, நடை முறைகள், கலாச்சாரம் ஆகியவை அகற்றப் பட்டு, அதற்க்கு பதில் திரையுலகம் திரைப்படம் எடுக்கும் அவரவர் சுய நோக்கத்தையும், யார் மீது இவர்களுக்கு எதிர்ப்பு இருக்கிறதோ அவரை குறி வைத்து படமென்ற சாக்கில் தாக்குவது இவர்களின் முதல் குறிக்கோள் தவிற ஆசையாகும்.
திரைப்படம் கல்லம் கறுப்புப் பணத்தில் அதிக தொகையில் தயாரிப்பதால், அறம், நீதிநெறி இவர்கள் யாரை குறி வைத்து தாக்குகிறார்களோ அவர்களின் சுய உரிமை ஆகியவைகளை பொருட் படுத்துவ்வ்தில்லை.
இவர்களின் கொள்கையை ஆதரிக்காதவர்களை தன் விருப்பம் படி அவமதிப்பது இவர்களின் சுதந்திரமென்று இக்கால தவறான நடைமுறை ஆகிவிட்டது.
தமிழ் சினிமா குடி பழக்கத்தை தீவிரமாக பிரபல படுத்தி, அதன் எதிர் மறையான விளைவுகளை உதறி தள்ளி, தமிழ் நாட்டின் கோடி கணக்கான குடும்பங்கள் இந்த குடியைக் கெடுக்கும் குடியினால் சீரழிவதை கண்டு கொள்வதில்லை.
தமிழகத்தின் அரசியல் சினிமா துறையிலிருந்து
உருவானதால், இந்நாள் வரை தமிழ் திரையுலகம் அரசியலின் கட்டுப்பாட்டில் இருப்பது ஆச்சரிய தக்கதில்லை.
தமிழ் சினிமா அரசியலாகவும், அரசியல் சினிமாவை போலி பிரச்சார ஆயுதமாகவும் பயன் படுகிறது. மேலும் அரசியல் மற்றும் சினிமாவின் கல்ல கறுப்பு பணம் சலவைக்கு இரண்டுமே உபயோகமாகிறது.
இதில் பாதிக்கப் படுபவர்கள் சாதாரண பொது மக்களே. அவர்கள் தான் அவதியும் அல்லல்களுக்கும் ஆளாகிறார்கள்.
இதை பற்றி அரசாங்க்ம், அரசியல் கட்டுப்பாட்டில் செயல் படும் திரையுலகம் மற்றும் ஊடங்களுக்கு வருத்தம் அல்லது அக்கறை இல்லை.
பொழுது போக்கை கையாளுவது சகல உறுபின்னர்களையும் தன் கைவசப் படுத்தும் செயல்பாடு. அதனால் ஊடகங்கள், திரை படம் இவர்களுக்கு இவ்வகையில் மிகவும் உதவும் ஆயுதம்.
மக்களுக்கு நல்லது செய்ய வருபவர்களை ஊடகம், திரைப்படம் வழியே விமர்சனம் செய்து மான பங்கம் பண்றதில் மும்மரமாக இருப்பது மக்கள் மற்றபடி சமுதாயத்திற்குத்தான் சேதம்.
ஆனால் நல்லவரை எப்பொழுதும் பாதிப்பதில்லை.
இக்காரணத்தினால், இத்தகைய கதை, முரண்பாடான விதத்தில் சித்தரிக்கும் படங்களை முழுதும் புறக்கணிப்பது புத்திசாலி தனமாகும்.
மூன்றாவதாக – எந்த அரசியல் கட்சிக்கும் வாக்கை அதாவது தன் வோட்டை அல்லி வழங்கல் கூடாது. அப்படி செய்வதில் எந்த கட்சி ஆட்சி புரிகிறதோ, அவர்கள் மக்கள் வாக்கின் மூலம் பெற்ற அதிகாரத்தை சர்வாதிகாரமாக செயல் படுவதில் சிறிதும் தயங்குவதில்லை.
ஆகையால் எதிர் கட்சி, ஆளும் கட்சி மற்றும் சுதந்திர கட்சி ஆகியோர்களுக்கு சட்ட சபையில் மற்றும் பாராளு மன்றத்தில் சரிசமமாக வாக்கை அளித்து யாரும் அராஜகம் பண்ண முடியாத படி ஒருவரை ஒருவர் கட்டுப்படுத்தி மக்கள், மாநிலம், அகில தேச நன்மை நலனிற்காக சேவை செய்யும் கட்டயாத்தை உருவாக்க மக்களுக்கு வாய்ப்பு வரும்.
இதை மூன்றும் இப்பவே செய்தால், தமிழ் நாடு மற்றும் ஒட்டு மொத்த இந்தியாவும் அரசியலை அராஜகத்திலிருந்து மீட்டி ஜன நாயக வழியில் செலுத்த வாய்ப்பு உள்ளது.
முக்கியமாக வாக்காளர்களின் வாக்கை பெரும்பாலான ஆளும் கட்சி அலட்சியம் செய்யும் தருணம் இயலாது.
இதில் சிறிதும் தயங்கி பயந்து கொண்டு இவ்வாறு செய்ய தவறினால், அராஜகம் குடியரசை விரைவில் அகற்றி தன் சுய ராஜ்யத்தை நிலைப்பார்கள்.
தமிழ் திராவிடமில்லை. அதே போல் திராவிடம் தமிழ் அல்ல. அப்படி தமிழ் திராவிடமாக இருந்தால், தமிழரை தவிற தெலுங்கு, மலயாளி, கன்னடம் மூன்றுமே தமிழ் நாட்டை இந்நாள் வரை ஆள மாட்டார்கள்.
அதற்க்கு எதிர் மாறாக உண்மையிலேயே திராவிடமான ஆந்திரா, தெலுங்கானா, கன்னடா மற்றும் கேரளா மாநிலங்களை எந்த தமிழரும் ஆளுவது மற்றுமில்லை, அங்குள்ள அரசியலில் தமிழர் அடியார்களோ அல்லது தொண்டர்களாக கூட இருப்பது சாத்தியமில்லை.
இன்னொரு பிம்பம் என்னவென்றால் – பெரியார் திணிப்பு. அது ஏன் தமிழர் தான் இழிச்ச வாய் ஏமாந்த சோணகிரி என்ற நிரந்திர பட்டத்தை சூட்டி, வெளியிலிருந்து வந்தவர்கள் பச்சை தமிழர்கள் என்ற பச்சை பொய்யை சொல்வதில் சிறிதும் தயக்கமில்லை.
அதே சமயத்தில் தமிழ் நாட்டில் பூர்விகம் கொண்டு கடைசி மூச்சு வரையில் (1975) தமிழ் நாட்டின் சிவகங்கையைச் சேர்ந்த திருப்பாச்சேத்தியில் நிலம் புலம், தோப்பு பண்ணை வைத்து தனியாக விவசாயியாக இருந்த பெண்மணியின் பேத்தி நான் வந்தேறியாம்?
பார்க்க போனால் கர்நாடகாவில் பிறந்த தெலுங்கரான பெரியாரை திராவிடமே ஆதி நாளிலிருந்து இந்நாள் வரை ஓரம் கட்டி தலை முழுகி விட்டு, கோட்ஸே சாவர்க்கர் கும்பலுக்கு கும்பிடு போட்டுக் கொண்டிருப்பது தான் உண்மை நிலவரம்.
இதிலிருந்து என்ன தெரிகிறது என்றால் பெரியார் போலி கொள்கைகள் நேர் மாறான பெரியாரின் வாழ்க்கை பெரியாரின் பிம்பத்தையும், திராவிடம் மற்றும் பெரியார் கோஷம் போடும் பொய்யான நாடகம் அம்பலப் படுகிறது.

அரசியல் அதிகாரத்தின் அல்ப புத்தி

அரசியல் அதிகாரத்தின் அல்ப புத்தி
பத்மினி அர்ஹந்த்
அதிகாரம் தன்னிடம் இருப்பதை அகோரமாக பயன் படுத்துவது அரசியலின் அல்பத்தனமாகும்.
அல்ப புத்தியுள்ள அதிகாரம் தன்னை மீறி எதுவுமில்லை என்ற அல்ப சிந்தனை பல தடவை தவிடுபொடி ஆகியது இன் நாள் வரை நடக்கும் நிகழ்ச்சி.
அப்படி இருக்கையில், இறைவனை ஆழம் பார்ப்பது அதிகாரத்தின் பிம்பத்தைத்தான் பிரதிபலிக்கிறது.
அரசியல் என்ற ஜம்பத்திற்க்கு இவ்வளவு அகம்பாவம் இருந்தால்,
பிரபஞ்சத்தையும் படைத்து, காப்பது, தீமையை அழிப்பது என்ற பல்வேறு ஈடு பாடுகளில் செயல் படும் இறைவன்,
அதோடு ஆகாயம், அனல், மணல், நீர், காற்று ஐம்புலன்கள் ஆகிய பஞ்ச பூதத்தை தன் ஜடாயுதத்தில் அடக்கி வைத்திருக்கும் அந்த ஆதிபகவன் இந்த அல்ப அரசியலின் அதிகார பிம்பத்தை தகர்க்க முடியாது என்ற தப்பு கணக்கு எவ்வளவு பெரிய முட்டாள் தனமாகும்.
அரசன் அன்று கேட்டால் தெய்வம் நின்று கேட்க்கும்.

India – Sedition and Separatism
October 1, 2022
India – Sedition and Separatism
Padmini Arhant
Sedition is an accusation by politics to alternative perspective. The politics’ contempt and zero tolerance to constructive criticism is an affirmation.
Never mind the politics own excess baggage in this regard is hardly a concern. The politics’ activities exceeding beyond sedition and separatism on their part beckon focus.
For instance, the head of the nation – the Prime Minister of India in public rally instigated the mob crowd representing own fundamentalist political party brought in trucks and buses to the campaign ground. The Indian PM speech incited the radical elements to target citizens i.e. muslims in India based on their clothing and attire.
Immediately, the muslim students in Delhi University like Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU)…were attacked inside campus, classrooms and library that were witnessed by the world at large.
These violent events by any definition in a civilized culture is goon politics and exemplify militant aggression against own citizens regardless of religion and denominations. The chronology on RSS run BJP authorized and conducted hate crimes is a persistent trajectory.
The political incitement on violence is not unique to this national political party BJP in India. The once major national party Congress was engaged in similar incidents against Sikhs in 1984 following the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi assassination.
The regional parties on their part share own contributions in politics promoted caste, religion and communal unrest and divide leading to deaths and destruction of lives in their domain.
The politics playing politics for power is a well known fact and continued unabated until today.
However, the BJP government in New Delhi propaganda on alleged sedition claims against objective valid evaluation of government policy on public issues affecting millions of lives having consumed thousands and million or more lives in the politically hostile narcissist fascist setting speak volume on status quo.
Whenever the political establishment and shadow incognito power behind puppet governance are rattled from the exposure of stagnant contaminated politics, that is telling on their trepidation and acute discomfort to read the writing on the wall.
The radical fundamentalist central government in New Delhi, India moves and maneuvers since election of Gujarat’s former Chief Minister Narendra Modi in 2014 and incumbency today, the Prime Minister’s record amplify the dedication and undivided attention to oligarchy in general and two in particular Adani and Ambani brothers from the state of Gujarat.
There is no doubt about the devil in the details evidenced in Adani and Ambani owned bulk of Indian economic sector extended well and beyond the Indian sub-continent enormously aided and facilitated by PM Narendra Modi at the center at the vast average Indian population expense.
The two Indian oligarchs from the state of Gujarat – Adani and Ambani’s conglomerate have expansive political clout and influence on the government with national policy and planning customized exclusively to suit and benefit them. The Indian Prime Minister pledge in this context delivered in action is irrefutable.
In contrast, the Indian PM’s promise to credit every citizen’s bank account with Rs.15 lakhs or Rs.1.5 million to evade demonetization debacle and many alike in the past 8 years of term in office only serve as material for humor club.
PM Narendra Modi’s 24/7 service to Adani and Ambani empire causing and exacerbating economic woes for farmers, native land owners like Adi vasis whose land have been confiscated for Adani groups’ owned mining in Chattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh in Central India and more such incidents nationwide are merely the tip of the iceberg.
Now, the flamboyant unveiling of privileged rights on telecommunications with 5G mobile network service handed over to Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio estimated at Rs.2 Trillion transforming market economy into monopoly economy might just be a coincidence inheriting colonial trend in wealth amassment substituting the British so-called Royal with India’s Adani – Ambani tycoons.
The oligarchy monopolization in Indian economy is fast paced unprecedented politics enabled economic coup d’é·tat depriving market economy from entrepreneurial diversity and competitiveness – the essence of innovation and ingenuity.
The previously owned public sector undertakings from railways to airports and telecommunications, finance i.e. banking and insurance like the LIC, health and more…the last but not the least the Indian defense force recruitment is privatized under the government introduced controversial Agnipath policy.
As a result the selective oligarchy control on economy and national affairs is a direct subjugation of economic opportunity to majority population dealing with unemployment and underemployment despite relevant skills and higher qualifications amongst the educated youth in India.
The New Delhi government at the center with the foreign /external affairs Minister urging United States State department to expedite visa processing for thousands of skilled labor especially in the IT sector awaiting approval for arrival in the United States while the Indian government lacking investment programs in providing gainful employment to these individuals is contradictory to PM Narendra Modi’s much touted Atma-Nirbhar aka self-reliance slogan.
PM Narendra Modi national divestment predominantly to the state of Gujarat in infrastructure, industries, ports… clarify priority to PM’s native state.
Additionally, the national mega projects like the new Parliament building, Prime Minister’s lavish 15 acreage sprawling mansion i.e. the Central Vista and Sri Ram Mandir etc., are assigned to groups and architects in Gujarat.
National projects and investments all directed to Gujarat by the central government under PM Narendra Modi, a Gujarati by origin clearly indicative of bias and favoritism that is also suggestive of segregation of a state from the rest of the Union.
Notwithstanding the discriminatory discretions implying sedition and separatism from the principal authority recently monikered the PM of Gujarat rather than PM of the entire republic.
The head of the nation ignoring constitutional obligations on fairness and neutrality in all national matter is a conscientious rejection of due growth and development in other parts of the country.
Considering the incontrovertible reality, these accounts abundantly prove who is actually creating national discord and obvious economic, social and political disparity building and boosting investments in one state Gujarat amid denying progress and prosperity for the rest in the national union of India?

Political Reality

Political Reality
Padmini Arhant
Politics marred with apprehensions from within and outside evolving into great deal of insecurity regarding threats to the seat of power and position is no secret.
From Julius Caesar days and even earlier in any religion inception and until now politics is eclipsed in betrayal, treason, malfeasance and abuse of power…among myriad common political abnormality.
What is the worst fear in contemporary politics?
Truth, facts and real democracy.
The prevalent fake political era premised on falsehood, fabrication and fraudulence is a convenient setting to camouflage fiduciary feudalist system i.e. proxy representing oligarchy, monarchy, domestic and foreign agenda, religious ideology and lofty personal aspirations beyond reality.
The politics founded and rooted in the process of elimination for rise to power and dominance resigned to impropriety and unaccountability proliferate in crimes and criminal legacy.
As for corruption, politics is the host and the ghost with the most corrupt dealings in quid pro quo and illegal practice held above law while the latter applicable to law abiding citizenry in society to the fullest extent and opponent subject to political witch hunt at taxpayers’ expense.
The corruption in lucrative government contracts with economic sector and foreign governments along with politics as appointees of campaign financiers and lobbyists enable and facilitate wealth amassment for political members and the apparatus during the term in office.
Not surprisingly, politics is cash cow for political members from rank and file to rookie and others presenting themselves on campaign trails as people from humble modest economic background with student loans and credit card debts to the hilt transformed into millionaire, multi-millionaire and billionaire status almost overnight.
Not to mention them securing own retirement and long term future for them and their next generations including reservations in elite educational institutions for their children based on political class family rather than merit is part and parcel of political career.
These facilities are extended over a long period of time with lifetime perks and privileges as the norm with little or no concern over the financial burden on the ordinary serving the presumptuous extraordinary extravagance.
Juxtaposed the same members have no problems in passing laws stripping retirement savings and medical aid to defense force foot soldiers and front line men and women witnessed recently in the so-called world’s largest democracy or for that matter the western so-called democracy having health, finance and energy industry…to name a few in the economic sector – the primary political campaign donors exploit average consumers with company policy designed to benefit oligarchs’ mega profitability extracting maximum from mainstream work force and consumers at the bottom.
Politics essentially in service to safeguard elitism enhancing and empowering personal and vested interests at the vast majority misery and generational suffering.
The political power trepidation is mainly related to losing authority and control.
Accordingly, adopting various tactics mostly unlawful methods from bribes to intimidation or incentives are deployed to lure opposition, judiciary and the rest to kowtow politics.
The political preparedness to remain in power as life long authority otherwise authoritarian rule begins with wiping opposition having organized media chorus not excluding the disguised so-called investigative journalism – the worst kind hired by authority for mass deception on press freedom.
The authority represented so-called non-mainstream media pleading public monetary support is actually engaged by politics to discredit authentic investigative and independent publications revealing information, incidents and events seeking explanations and openness from politics and incognito power declared a forbidden act.
Politics having little or no opposition in the political front with press and assortment media combined silenced by buying them outright, similar strategy on judiciary and prominent political affiliates in government and private sector guaranteed mutual conciliatory offers – the stage is set for politics to execute devious agenda.
Any exposure in this context is conveniently referred to as conspiracy theory despite knowing well there is no smoke without fire.
The general public left on their own to fight against politics’ complicity on all issues hurting citizens economically, financially and socially are usually handled with brute force and laws in reserve to curb genuine peaceful dissent.
Again politics rejecting the factor on law enforcement and courts paid for and provided by tax payers as consumers and labor community in return turned against them.
Who is left to challenge corrupt power?
The military in many countries toppling governments and assuming power as military junta is not uncommon. These activities are also promoted by foreign powers to destabilize nations that are contrarily used by despotic governance to justify undemocratic rule as well.
Nonetheless, the military indirect involvement via surrogate government is yet another form in the diverse pattern of governance.
In pseudo democracy, the political authority desirous of tenure position conforming to dictatorial regime address the potential military resistance to authoritarianism with tacit duplicity.
The manner in which politics address any possible scenario from military against the totalitarian political style especially in a waning democracy is by restructuring military institution.
For example, the tradition in a Parliamentarian democracy with Prime Minister on limited terms as the head of the executive branch in charge of government administration is accountable to people, the electorate represented Parliament and constitutional rule of law governing democracy.
On the other hand, the President in the same government dispensation though misconceived as mere ceremonial figure expected to preside over Parliamentary proceedings at the national level and state union affairs in the provincial political issues besides serving as the military commander-in-chief in the original concept.
However, this format and Presidential functionality superseded is noteworthy.
How this is subverted by the government executive branch in the present so-called democratic environment merit attention?
The Presidential election is an electoral college exercise. The political parties and members at the national and regional forum are easily swayed with rewards in cash and kind to vote for the ruling party Presidential nominee. The ruling power sponsored candidate prevailing over the name-sake contender from the opposition parties for Presidential post in Parliamentary set up is the regular outcome.
The President rather than being the stabilizing power and the authority to maintain checks and balances is typically appointed to the office as the ruling political party envoy carrying out the executive branch orders.
Lately, in Indian system the Presidential function as the military commander-in-chief is disposed with the creation of the chief of defense staff (CDS) post manning entire defense force with army, naval and air force brought under the CDS ambit reporting to the Prime Minister and not the President.
The Prime Minister is now the head of the military through the installation of Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) in the overt transfer of power.
What does this mean in a democracy?
The notion of separation of power for legitimate reasons to avert concentration of power in government body is systematically rendered obsolete.
The Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) appointee is expected to meet the criteria i.e. falling in line by voicing support or echoing sentiments in agreement with Prime Minister’s controversial and contentious policy on national issues regardless of adverse consequences with the probability affecting unity and uniformity in defense force.
The picture is clear having brought military under executive branch viz. Prime Minister oversight through CDS authorizing attractive defense ventures like the explosive Indo-French Rafale defense scandal to arbitrary military decisions not barring military strikes and interventions embedded in the supreme command title.
The Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) directly reporting to the Prime Minister office fortify the executive branch with absolute power leaving no opportunity or possibility of endangerment to politics’ transition from democracy to autocracy.
The political authority absorbing power in every aspect with democracy displaced in the systemic omission of constitutional rights paralyzing democratic values is a serious devolution of fragile pluralist society led into majoritarian fundamentalist mobocracy.
When oligarchy and various sources (?) funded politics is hopelessly relying on massive propaganda and indoctrination for survival, that kind of politics is indicative of precipitous decline and dissipation. The desperate times prompting desperate actions. The monetized accolades contradictory to actuality is nothing more than megalomania frenzy.
Poignantly, where will politics be without cronyism and sycophancy ad nauseam?
In the dumpster for sure gutter and goon politics in particular living up to its reputation in anything and everything.
As such, transparency and ethics oxymoron to politics, plutocracy reining supremacy is paradoxical political factuality.
Anything destructive and counterproductive is unsustainable and politics is experienced and seasoned in imminent fall due to misguided misinterpretation of power.

History Lessons on Warfare

History Lessons on Warfare
Padmini Arhant
Since world creation, humanity has been subject to numerous trials and tribulations. The wars, health calamity in epidemic and pandemic, natural disasters, food crisis and different kinds until now.
The lessons from war in particular is poignant defining the battle fought for interests other than defending sovereignty, territorial integrity, individual freedom and civil liberty as invariably fait accompli.
Despite military prowess, nuclear might, superior defense systems and technology compared to their targets, the military engagement yield major setbacks for the aggressors often leading to economic drain and massive human casualties ending in quagmire.
The ravaging war with serious economic costs including the irreversible ones in loss of civilian and military personnel lives are proved counterproductive.
The reasons being misplaced aspirations and miscalculated strategy for the militarily advantaged unwilling and unrelenting in the face of ground reality.
History is testament to this effect – Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen…to name a few among several war zones and lately the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
It is hard to comprehend the lack of recognition and acknowledgment in the leadership, strategists and think tanks behind protracted warfare to ceasefire and mitigate further catastrophe. Instead the extended war is pursued more for prestige against practicality.
Again the war waged for territorial annexation and dominance is a lost cause designed to be a failure with permanent damage proven time and time again.
The nation led towards military confrontation for strategic goals, economic gains and individual legacy at the expense of own citizens’ lives and future are self-explanatory experiencing inevitable defeat.
The world war 2 with global conquest in mind and similar ones before or in the present to establish superpower status produced negative outcome for aspirants exposing their vulnerability and inadequacy in specific contexts.
The confrontational military means with more weapons and ground forces by no measure guaranteed to reverse events in the battle ground for the invader considering the will of the attacked to defend national independence from any foreign occupation near and far outweigh the former abnormal wishes to rein control.
Accordingly, heeding lessons from global events in history with respect to warfare, the ceasefire accompanied by solemn commitment translated into action ending bloodshed, violence, deaths and destruction is the only saving grace and pragmatic approach to conclusion of hostility and enmity.
When decisions are made ignoring consequences, it is also incumbent upon decision makers to realize the aftermath and reverse course to the path of peaceful negotiations and dispute settlement.
The real leadership power rest in saving not claiming lives and avert situations heading towards the point of no return.
War is not the choice in exerting authority and superiority. They are ultimately tried and exhausted bringing the conflict to conclusion as nothing is meant to go on forever.
Russian war in Ukraine is no different and would rather benefit in renouncing the current policy of shelling and decimation exacerbating resources besides testing citizens’ patience and trust reflected in street protests against war and mobilization.

Israel – War and Aggression over Peace
September 17, 2022
Israel – War and Aggression over Peace
Padmini Arhant
Israel latest bombing of Syria and ongoing occupation with oppression and persecution of Palestinians is proved counterproductive.
The nuclear Israel claimed the only democratic state in the Middle East hopelessly relying on aggression and violence to exert political stance delivered nothing but tensions and hostility.
Citing historic events going back several thousands of years in relentless propaganda in justification of the present Israeli acrimony is futile. Furthermore no nation or society based on race, religion and any convenient denominations could impose malevolence over current population who are not responsible for the past humanitarian crimes against any particular sect or demography.
Unfortunately, the trend not unique to Israel alone.
As a matter of fact the position prevalent in the so-called world’s largest democracy Indian ruling government preaching peace but not practicing in reality is the irony. The grudge against specific segment i.e. muslims in India over centuries old Mughal invasion and aftermath serve ideological discriminatory agenda driven towards a majoritarian statehood.
Similarly Indian government foreign policy monetizing Russian invasion from cheap oil imports essentially boosting Russian carnage of Ukraine with thousands of lives violated while sporting peace badge is an insult to injury for the victims in the prolonged warfare.
Again the western Europe viz. Germany, Austria, Finland…prominently and eastern Europe EU member Hungary defiance in energy dependence on Russia economically finance Russia’s war on Ukraine.
The western Europe strategy ignore own security stake in the complex trade and military engagement with and against Russia at Ukraine’s expense. Notwithstanding the security volatility for the rest of Europe.
The political catharsis expose self and vested interests in the make- believe public disposition.
Likewise Israel favoring Russian invasion of Ukraine rejecting Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s televised plea to Israeli Kenesseth mocked upon the reference the final solution the Nazis sought to enforce on the Jews paralleled to Russia’s ambitions for Ukraine.
Israel’s defense contrarily the offense foreign policy as major weapons supplier to war zones arming brutal regimes earlier in Sri Lanka in 2009 against unarmed Tamil civilians or the indefinite bloodshed in Yemen with United States and Israel as key military arsenal providers to Saudi Arabia and coalition extending the never ending Yemen turmoil are not mere defense trade involvement.
Israel funding, weaponizing and facilitating medical treatment to terror outfits with synonymous accusations on Iran and Turkey in the onslaught on Syria is anything but peace seeking democratic norm.
Syrians and the population in the middle east including Israelis in Israel are forced to endure militarized environment in the continuous bombing and shelling of the region.
Israel’s non-military yet direct human rights violation also brought to light in the sale and distribution of the controversial spyware Pegasus and alike to governments and desperate despots anywhere.
The cyber weapons procurement under the guise of espionage activities against terror groups widely deployed targeting civilians like journalists, authors and political critics bear evidence in the anti-humanitarian and anti-democratic values of the state of Israel and the so-called democratic patrons.
In the strange political dynamics, Israeli politics forging alliance with Arab political factions to gain political majority in Kenesseth somehow not pursued in Israeli – Palestinian peace process. The political will to mend ties and form coalition for position of power and authority not necessarily desired in the art of peace and freedom for all as basic human right.
The pragmatic approach to live and let others live in peace for collective progress and prosperity in the meager lifetime of all human beings is ominously missing in politics and policy-making fueling death and destruction as the only means of survival and dominance.
Such principle against conventional wisdom eye for an eye turning the world blind apparently not even a concern amongst those confusing mirage for oasis in the desert.
Reiterating earlier statement elaborated in Israel-Palestine Peace Treaty on this website, Israel’s peace, security and stability lies on recognition of Palestinian statehood with sovereignty and independence to Palestinians in the over seven decades of occupation and repression denying civil rights and dignified existence.
Upon peace-making with independent Palestine, Israel’s relation with neighbors especially Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq and others would normalize on the horizon.
Never too late to choose the path of peace and solidarity renouncing endless enmity and antipathy.

Western Democracy – Paradoxical Paradigm
September 10, 2022
Western Democracy
–
Paradoxical Paradigm
Padmini Arhant
Western so-called democracy is the world’s biggest irony ever. The monarchy and imperialism fleecing on the so-called commoners, the parasitic tradition continues with pompous pageantry in coronation of the so-called King having contributed nothing positive and productive in substance, values or otherwise is the comedy and tragedy for democracy.
Notwithstanding the self-proclaimed Royalty proved a major liability as colonial power is incontrovertible.
Not surprisingly there is no tolerance to real functioning democracy in any non-western world. They are toppled through western intervention reviving imperialistic dominance either directly or via proxy until today.
Is western democracy even democratic as constitutional monarchy reining authority and prominence in government?
The western democracy head of the executive branch is subject to monarch’s approval despite election to the public office.
“Today constitutional monarchies are mostly associated with Western European countries such as the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Luxembourg, Monaco, Liechtenstein and Sweden.”
In other regions like Asia – the two most populous constitutional monarchies are Japan and Thailand.
The western status quo imposing western democracy on other nations as the perfect model is the contrarian dynamic.
The monarchy, crown and throne in western or any democracy is a declaration of the dominion and not free republic i.e. allegiance to the crown unlike the flag of the nation representing the country and citizens nationwide.
The Royal governance undermine democracy and republic with election legitimizing illegitimacy.
The Western European democracy with Royal influence besides a parallel government European Union in Brussels prevalent in government affairs further pose questions on western democracy.
Yet another western state and the most favored western ally Israel touted the only democracy in the middle east never shy away from lewd crude espionage through controversial spyware viz. Pegasus and variety sold arbitrarily to governments regardless of the system ranging from authoritarianism to rogue regimes disguised as democracy violating individual and human rights, life and space without any care or concern for ethics and democratic principles or values they claim to champion in the world stage.
Any valid comments against Israel and western position including these violations is persona non grata (unwelcome) and slated the forbidden TRUTH even though the other way around plethora of nuanced false narratives, fabrications and insinuations using proxies, pawns and puppets from own inventory against their specific target i.e. myself – the SHE – bashing, caricature, the supposedly artificial intelligence as opposed to their self-proclaimed organic ones, character defamation, the so-called gang rape victim and endless eulogizing since my emergence is deemed the prerogative.
Of course the ones initiating and perpetuating misogyny, hatred and hostility conveniently forget their own actions necessitating reaction.
Personally my message to them and their operatives is when you engage in relentless self-destructive strategy aimed at destruction of me or anyone, expect the boomerang heading your way in adherence to the adage;
What goes around comes around.
Under these settings, western democracy is a paradoxical paradigm for the rest worldwide.

India (Nirbhaya) – Foreign Invasion and Occupation
Women Status in general and in India
Padmini Arhant
Black Money, Tax Evasions, Panama Gate and relation with Under World.
Indian politics, entertainment industry ( the two combined are rape obsessed and represented as rapists, sexists, flesh and sex traders) and others exploiting opportunity playing sacrosanct for personal gains. They are incumbent to surrender their illicit wealth in offshore tax havens, Swiss bank accounts, Singapore, Island nations, Panama gate and alike.
The members in politics and entertainment as well as anyone making a fortune with payments largely received in black money are obligatory to come forward with full disclosure on black money, tax evasions besides nefarious dealings to enhance wealth.
With such profile of politics and entertainment industry – the two prominent facilitators in money laundering and connections with under world, the audacious claim on holier than thou image is an insult to human intelligence. Notwithstanding violation of public trust in mass deception.
The black money transactions, tax fraud in wealth amassment and shady deals in business contracts…to name a few among plethora of illegal arrangements among dominant oligarchs in economic sector are no exception in this regard.

Women Status in Indian Social Citadel.
The women status in India since epic times until today merit focus.
The plight of Lord Ram’s consort Devi Sita is well known beginning with the ordeal in forest, abduction by then King Ravana of Lanka now Sri Lanka.
Thereafter Sita was once again banished to forest and this time permanently while an expectant mother. The verbatim trial held in the form of slur and defamation about Sita’s chastity by some in Indian society whose own morals were undoubtedly on display as gossip mongers and mud slingers at best in the otherwise undeterred unscrupulous legacy.
After the epic Ramayana, the societal behavior took the turn not for better rather worst towards women.
The case in point was depicted in the successive Indian epic Mahabharata. The female lead protagonist Devi Draupati – the Pandav Queen was made the spectacle in Pandav’s adversaries Duryodhana, Durshasan and their uncle Shakuni orchestrated sexual assault on Draupati in the open Royal court session.
From then and until today the Duryodhana, Durshasan and Shakuni characters persist having tasked themselves to taunt, humiliate and their favorite – rape women as their entitlement.
Kannagi – Yet another female to challenge Indian Royalty and Kingsley pride leading to blind justice from then King Pandiyan ruling the Goddess Meenakshi Temple famous city Madurai. Kannagi not only succeeded in proving the innocence of her unjustly executed husband Kovalan but also dethroned King Pandiyan dynasty.
Then onwards into the modern times the women struggle in societal indignation and moral vilifications have only proliferated with no end in sight. The ruling class dominance and upper hand as the privileged in the hierarchy continue to reek havoc abusing their position in society.
Not surprisingly, the politics have numerous embarrassing events and episodes linked to different regimes and their members in political establishment.
Whether it is Sukanya linked to Congress party Rahul Gandhi, or Jyoti Singh deliberately dubbed Nirbhaya – the Delhi rape incident in 2012 again involving then Congress regime in the unlawful unconstitutional intervention resulting in the preventable death of a societal and state sponsored murder of rape victim.
Or for that matter,
The current regime in New Delhi as the heads of the state in Gujarat in 2002 – Narendra Modi and Amit Shah authorized rape, murder and massacre in Godhra violence targeting majority muslims, the so-called Dalits and other members invalidated as sub-humans.
Neither of the targeted segments are spared until today. Their wounds are never allowed to heal and only exacerbated through acidic attack by present New Delhi regime in the release of then rapists convicted with life imprisonment in Bilkis Bano case.
The modern day Sukanya, Jyoti Singh deliberately renamed Nirbhaya by Congress regime much against Jyoti Singh and her parents will, the Bilkis Bano case again revived as political revenge by the ruling New Delhi regime Narendra Modi and Amit Shah and,
The muslim college student Muskan chased and harassed by Hindutva mob for her traditional clothing (burqa) in the outskirts of Bangalore earlier this year are classic examples of Indian ruling class criminal mafia mentality.
Not to mention their political party members various rape scandals, sexual harassment, terrorism and murder charges filed against them bear no significance as they proudly represent the 1.3 billion population in Parliament, state assembly as well as the preferred ambassadors of India.
Similarly the murder of own spouse implicating Congress MP from southern state Kerala Shashi Tharoor not having faintest smear or stumble in political career speaks volume on women’s life and womanhood in Indian concept of women’s liberation reflected to the contrary.
Entertainment industry – the treatment of women in itself is a major controversy with women viewed through the lens as monetizing material for voyeurism and sexual content as opposed to intellect, talent and positive contributions reserved exclusively as male attributes in the male oriented cinematic and societal indictment.
In fact even the concern over women issues and systemic abuse by male superiority narrated here in this and earlier articles on this site and subdomain are deceitfully propagated as male empathy and commitment for women emancipation.
In the persistent craving for homogenous setting, imagine creation and proliferation of life with only Y chromosome determining the male gender when that Y chromosome is not and could never be independent without pairing with X chromosome as XY.
Simultaneously, the X chromosome as XX identifying female gender is a combination of the same type in the male and female consummation.
The male and female possess unique and diverse characteristics to complement each other in respective ways without any aggression aimed at suppression or regression either way. Nonetheless, the societal hierarchy predisposed condescendence in this regard is a detrimental factor.
Cinema like media is heavily and massively politicized with political interjection in the script using film media as the platform to demonize, distort and caricature targets for presenting truths and facts against corrupt regimes and their dominant masters within and outside the society.
As a result of such trajectory, the rape incidents and denigration of women at every instance in the main street and all available formats is impulsive and carcinogenic.
No society can ever claim progress in the trending misogynist culture to appease decadent colonialism and malevolent domestic polity.

The contemporary politics in the past two decades obsessed with gang rape adapted from foreign supremacist conviction about targeted female is conspicuously male chauvinist misogynist and prejudiced perception.
However, the reference gang rape appropriately fits the profile of the nation with relevance to foreign invasion and occupation.
India – since ancient period to modern times by far ranks perhaps the most invaded country and factually remains so up until now.
What is the reason behind gang rape of India through foreign invasion and influence?
The traitors within India are predominantly and primarily responsible for gang rape aka Nirbhaya status of India.
Indian society then and today have long been subject to pawning and bargaining by those holding power, wealth and fame for personal empowerment and enrichment in kamikaze action.
No foreign intrusion or assertion is ever possible on any sovereign nation without internal treason and betrayal by key members at the helm and their crony clan.
That’s been the fate of Indian en masse population before and at present ever at foreign diktat disposal.
Indian treason is not limited to foreign subservience, servility and sycophancy, it is extended beyond that trend and repeatedly engaged in slaughter and slander of the real patriots and visionaries envied and slighted by foreign colonialists and domestic unruly mob impostors, wannabes, opportunists, conspirators and renegades as traders (Saudagars) of sovereignty since time immemorial.
Accordingly, the true and real intellectual minds are eliminated and designated to anonymity and instead substituted with undeserving riff-raffs, rag-tags and kiss a** surrendered to foreign supremacists and racists colonialists via India’s servitude league in politics, economy, entertainment, media and religion…desperately seeking personal glory and fortune.
The combination and collaboration between greedy envious discriminatory colonialists and India’s treasonous slavishly submissive and obsequiousness among the power, fame and treasure hunters contributes to India’s Nirbhaya gang rape status quo.
As mentioned above, the foreign presence and exertion of authority on India is sadly and unfortunately – the indefinite scenario.
The tradition lasting thousands of years having become more aggressive and sedative today. Again, none of these are without absolute complicity, capitulation and complacency from those reining control in position of power, authority and influential opportunity such as stardom in entertainment, economy and politics etc.
Here is the synopsis of India’s history as the most invaded, occupied and exploited nation in the world.
Sources – Public domain with public perspective from historians, chronologists, anthropologists, sociologists and diversity. Thank you.

Effects and Impact of Aryan Invasion
“The Aryan Invasion clearly had a lasting impact on Indian Culture. Some of it are listed below:
Aryans were the first people, who classified the population based on four major castes –
Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras.
The four major castes were further subdivided into many sub castes.
All the people who did not belong to any sub caste were called the untouchables. They were considered to be the lowest rank people in the society.
The caste of a person determined his occupation.
After the Aryan Invasion, most of the population spoke Sanskrit or other related languages.”
Per Quora – the online data. Thank you.

Needless to say, the gang rape victim Nirbhaya India as the country has always been up for grabs for enslavement and exploitation is the historic fact and never ending saga.
The tragedy and travesty entirely attributed to truth haters in cohort with foreign debauchery and duplicity as the only trait despite fait accompli from their arch nemesis and must be reviled rival for speaking the truth and standing up to tyranny, misogyny and vile hypocrisy.

India – Politics’ Formidable Contender
August 23, 2022
India – Politics’ Formidable Contender
Padmini Arhant
The regime in New Delhi is missing the core message. While creating pseudo contestants among own political establishment for flamboyant fake popularity and legitimacy, the real contenders in politics are overlooked in the myopic view to remain in power for eternity. The strategy letting weak political factions win in state elections and maintaining nefarious tactics in national election for power grab to silence speculations and skepticism on voting irregularities, electoral bonds aided victory in the national game and subsequently horse trading is the current modus operandi.
However, the real challengers for political leadership regardless of hyped publicity campaign and paid propaganda are the following;
The overwhelming educated skilled unemployed youth in different cross sections of society denied employment opportunity in prime time of their life. The segment response in electoral backlash was witnessed in the latest northern state Bihar election.
The exploited farmers forced to demonstrate on the streets upon being deprived of fair share of earnings in agriculture farming. The outcome led to the government withdrawal of the detrimental policy designed to benefit selective oligarchy interests.
The daily wage earners, street hawkers, shopkeepers and major percentage of retail businesses brought to lack of any income and financial assistance overnight to accommodate political class favored oligarchs mega retail chains and monopoly.
The soldiers in the defense force replaced with lucrative defense deals benefitting politics, specific oligarchs and deal makers leaving national security and defense force personnel entirely at the mercy of quid pro quo trend.
Although the minority are now officially declared disenfranchised with no voting rights or any form of representation in politics, the New Delhi regime focus on transforming the nation into a Hindu State or Hindu Rashtra ignoring the fact many Hindus are subject to worst form of discrimination, isolation and marginalization is a decadent ideology.
The latest violence against Kashmiri Hindu Pandits in Kashmir Valley is the product of brazen Hindutva polarization providing fodder for radical minds reacting to political cartography.
Ironically, the actual taxpayers in economy are the middle class, lower and lowest in the economic strata as the largest consumer base and members of the work force in different capacity in formal and informal economic sector. Nonetheless, the rich, wealthy and wealthiest enjoy the luxury of occupying plum positions in politics and private industry at the former expense and generational economic struggle.
Notwithstanding the latter beginning with political class and other 3% bourgeois’ tax evasions stashing illicit wealth in offshore tax havens, foreign bank accounts and various disguised investments depleting national treasury of the earnings and savings predominantly belonging to the overwhelming 97% in the country is a colossal loss to the economy.
Not to mention the politics loyalty and unwavering commitment catering to elites and presumptuous top tier in hierarchy in society result in disproportionate economic status leading to further deterioration in social equality.
Understandably, the frustration and dissatisfaction from the economically deprived population represent even bigger contention for politics running merely on divide and conquer strategy inherited from colonial past and present using religion, caste, creed and gender bias as the platform or alternatively enticing them with unrealistic undeliverable promises such as gas cylinder (empty with no refills), open ground hole toilets with no commode or water, Rs.1.5 million or Rs.15 lakhs in every citizen’s bank account etc., debunked later is the pattern having run its course and validity.
Politics reconciliation with reality and dealing effectively via democratic, ethical, positive and productive means in addressing all of the above and more concerning the people of the nation in entirety barring preferences, prejudice and priority is the immediate requirement to remain or sustain government in power.
The political maneuvering exercising abuse of power invariably terminate any regime’s authoritarian aspirations and style of governance against democratic norms and pervasive economic growth and development.
Accordingly, the regime need to look no further for strong opponents except pay attention to the public demand for efficient and transparent governance addressing pertinent economic, social, environment and national security matter with prevalent foreign invasion and occupation all around threatening national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The political leadership acknowledgment of the electorate as the formidable contestant in the political arena holding key to power is the fundamental recognition for contenders to public office.
Slighting the inherent power of the people eventually unseat any government and self-proclaimed political invincibility despite repeat electoral defeat as a reminder throughout elections during the term in office.

India – BJP Loss in Bihar State Election
August 22, 2022
India – BJP New Delhi Loss in Bihar State Election
Padmini Arhant
The BJP government in New Delhi abysmal performance in Bihar state election in August 2022 securing mere 36 seats out of 196 assembly seats is a serious setback for the national government under incumbent leadership despite falsely hyped popularity ratings and alleged rising evidently reflected otherwise in the election result.
Bihar, once regarded the Hindutva government’s strong Hindi and Hindu belt serving as the fertile ground for the national government and major political party BJP to carry out religious sacrilege by cow vigilantes and RSS promoted hate crimes in the northern state.
The dismal outcome in Bihar is the aftermath of New Delhi’s controversial and detrimental military defense policy Agnipath (the path of fire) literally proved highly inflammable via electoral backlash for the presumptuous leadership and political party at the state and national level.
New Delhi preoccupied in toppling state governments through unlawful unscrupulous horse trading has suffered severe Agnipath blowback in Bihar.
The horse trading normalized under BJP and the regime chief in New Delhi routinely engage in open bribery with illegal cash and black money buying opposition MP’s and MLA’s in the national and state assembly.
Failing that, the political opposition members are selectively subject to central government agency financial raid and other form of blackmail and even loss of life.
These atrocities are subverted and promoted as pluralism and capitalism in society.
Nonetheless, the proof is in the pudding i.e. the electoral whip in Bihar is the beginning of the end of decadence and pseudo nationalism.
The disillusioned unemployed youth in Bihar warned about the inevitable electoral defeat for BJP and New Delhi regime’s head in the wake of Agnipath defense recruitment denying the potential recruits any retirement or medical benefits besides diminishing job prospects contracted to five year term with no employment guarantee.
Politics is now forced to deal with electorate will as witnessed in Sri Lanka, Bihar – India or anywhere.
The time is not far when politics will be replaced with suitable and effective technology based system appropriate in the prevalent contactless era deemed ideal for military operation and management of national defense force.
The politics becoming a thing of the past might also save tax payers money from huge taxes by and large squandered and unaccounted for as political tradition.
Not to mention the politics elimination sparing the society and country from corruption and treason.
The right to self-determination is a matter of recognition and experience for citizens across the spectrum in society barring politics instigated divisiveness and polarization.
