India – Introspection and Reform

Padmini Arhant

Indian politics, media variety and the controversial contentious film industry, the three combined engaged in incessant virulent personal attacks and bizarre innuendoes is a wanton venture.

Instead, the three fields predominantly responsible for status quo in economy, social, political and national security crises beginning with introspection and necessary reform is the urgent need of the hour.

The trio funded with illegal money ranging from tax evasions, embezzlement, drug money to sex and flesh trade, human trafficking, extortions of all kinds are the norm. The corruption and criminality in politics, media and entertainment being real and not confined to cinematic versions suffice self-indignation and incrimination with the rich, famous and powerful exploiting others with political and social immunity.

The burning desire to be the news however might be the order. The trio focus on relevant responsibilities and tasks would rather benefit the field and the victims – i.e. the public forced to endure the cheap stunts and theatrics as the only survival and sustenance further confirm the precipitous decline within and overall.

The material starved politics, entertainment and media have plenty to dig into own inventory on corruption scandals and scathing profiles of the (in)famous and powerful in power whether past or present.

The world might be familiar with material theft such as cash, jewelry, property, land and grand larceny. The intellectual property, patents and creative arts piracy and plagiarism are yet another kind for the desperate and parasitic legions declaring incompetence devoid of originality and talent.

The contemporary practice to steal somebody’s life and unpaid hard work claiming proprietorship for power, fame and fortune mimicking the gestures and lifestyle is unprecedented and beneath human value. 

Interestingly, the ravenous participation is prevalent among those regarded the powerful, influential and prominent members in their field and public domain.

Imitation for personal interests might be flattery and the imitation without due credit is forgery.  

Nonetheless, imitation will always remain the artificial and superficial never matching or comparable to the genuine and bona fide. 

The trend hijacking the target’s personal life and unauthorized unethical swap with whomsoever is not without consequence. The ongoing blowbacks in such insolent indulgence with serious karmic effects realized by many in fatal obsession is a poignant lesson.

Besides, the involvement is aimed at tarnishing the target and varnishing the embarrassing image and legacy of those assuming the alter ego albeit in vain. The message is applicable to activities in the newly invented tradition in the past thirteen years or so.

Lastly, the trio insisting this site only discuss about them and nothing else or none other to dominate publicity is unfortunate and unwelcome. The plethora of issues and topics world wide merit attention and due recognition that are significant to this site and commitments in fair coverage of events and current affairs.

The presumptuous extraordinary and privileged following the so-called ordinary and average in society to live own life with self-respect, dignity and authenticity regardless might serve the purposeful existence.

There is a distinction in newsworthiness for positive or negative reasons. Needless to say the former is the best choice and paradigm especially in setting precedence in the present and future.

India and China – Alter Ego Authoritarians

June 5, 2020

Authoritarians

Alter Ego 

Padmini Arhant

The two most populous nations on earth, China and India under diverse authoritarian rule, one in direct form as Communism i.e. China under Xi Jinping while the other most dangerous, the so-called democracy in disguise totalitarian leadership combined with potent fundamentalist radicalism headed by Narendra Modi are essentially alter ego to one another.

The heads of the largest nations in South and South East Asia are sinister secret society backed in their respective activities far from legitimate governance.

China’s Xi Jinping and India’s Narendra Modi share common traits and problems with a mutual response reflected in the current skirmishes in the Himalayan region.

To begin with mendacity, mistrust and malfeasance are primary attributes in their respective meteoric rise in political career. They both deploy and hopelessly rely on propaganda and mass deception through shoddy journalism hired locally with questionable credentials linked to London further adding to tarnished reputation.

Xi Jinping in China and Narendra Modi in India have miserably failed in their handling of the corona virus, the pandemic dealt with secrecy and draconian measures leaving the relevant victims to fend for themselves.

Narendra Modi government’s colossal failures in many frontiers evident in status quo. Similarly Xi Jinping’s communist hard line policy proved disaster in the domestic and international front prompting undesirable actions exacerbating personal and political recovery.

Though projected as strong leaders through their heavily invested misinformation campaign using press and various media platform, the proof of the pudding is in the failed economies and brewing storm within the country directly affecting their rocky position in the political party and system they are and should be deeply concerned about considering their consistent flaws and fractured performance.

Narendra Modi devised Pulwama attack strategy in Kashmir using Indian Defense security personnel as sacrificial lambs found resourceful in the campaign trail rhetoric in sheer violation of electoral rules and democratic norms during national election in May 2019 claiming fraudulent victory.

The counterpart Xi Jinping in hot waters in the wake of incontrovertible revelations on the corona virus i.e. manufacturing the engineered virus and spreading the deadly pathogen worldwide is a mere tip of the iceberg.

China’s economy, credibility and enchilada in terms of Beijing’s impulsive response to Hong Kong introducing controversial national security law triggered worldwide condemnation.

Additionally, legitimate global frustration on the betrayal over corona virus saga are enough to stimulate egregious actions from Chinese leadership facing enormous pressure and opposition within communist politburo and 1.45 billion oppressed citizens in the misleading People Republic of China.

Regardless of the situations in both nations, the leaderships’ devious maneuver to deflect angry disillusioned population attention from domestic woes and calamities are anticipated reactions.

The warfare in the Himalayan region that has consumed 32 Indian soldiers’ lives and casualties on Chinese side as well that are not officially reported in line with lack of transparency on all issues especially deaths among defense forces is least surprising.

There is no justification whatsoever for China’s aggression towards neighbors near and far in the absence of clear effective resolutions to the crises originated from China.

Likewise, Narendra Modi government acknowledgment on recklessness prevalent in all matter not barring ignoring security warnings from intelligence agencies and open threat from the enemy next door i.e. China’s leadership on the rampant aggression along the Himalayan border leading to unnecessary and preventable loss of lives among Indian soldiers in the past few days is minimum expected from the recalcitrant administration.

China’s Xi Jinping and India’s Narendra Modi bolstered by illegal secret society are at the crossroads of their political challenges that requires humility, honesty and harmony in their approach not haste destructive demeanor.

Finally, no street hawker journalist monetarily incentivized with few rupees using unscrupulous criminal tactics such as  superimposition on images in the articles without stating the picture source can possibly rescue Narendra Modi from the indefensible and irreparable damage, albeit self inflicted due to detrimental indulgence and mindless pursuits.

Nonetheless, China’s Xi Jinping and India’s Narendra Modi experience beginning of the end in their political journey. The imminent process delivering hope for the dawn of peace and progress in the region.

Thank you.
