Tamil Civilization and Indian Casteism Origin

Tamil Civilization

and 

Indian Casteism Origin 

Padmini Arhant

India remaining the most invaded nation on earth, the  foreign invasion subverted indian modern civilization in place during Sangam period (3rd centuryBCE – 3rd century CE) in Tamil Nadu long before foreign invaders arrival in India.

The system prevalent at that time was not classified under caste. The casteism imposed in the last millennium until today in India is from overseas.

However, the religion Hinduism worshipping God as a particular deity was a custom in Indian ancient culture including the Tamil Sangam age in accordance with the deity representation correlating with nature.

Where and how the caste system originated in India?

The Persian Kings Cyrus and Darius were the first to invade India in 535 BCE and 518 BCE respectively. The Persian King Darius (522- 486 BCE) declaration of his origin as Aryan with Aryan lineage is verified and noted in rock inscription Naqsh-i Rustam.

The western Europe findings –  Germany and France in particular clarify Aryan is the ancient name of the people of Iran. In the 18th century Persian ancestry as the connection for western Europe is also widely acknowledged with western explorers fascination for Persia at that time.

The trend followed in the current false projection amongst those claiming to be the one that is appealing and interesting with desperate efforts in mimicking and adapting appearance, style, hairdo and manners…anything and everything as opportunists and wannabes is weird classic duplicity.

The practice  running away from them, their legacy and persona is the tradition. Obviously, their real identity is too embarrassing for them to accept prompting illicit engagement. Little they realize leopard changing spots to stripes do not become a tiger and neither a hyena feigning a fawn become as such.

Germany’s Adolf Hitler proudly claimed Aryan heritage in public speech and Nazi political rhetoric also echoed Aryan superiority premised on presumed superior physiological appearance and characteristics of own description.

Furthermore, the western Europe race theorists also classified themselves non-Semites in acceptance of Aryan descent. On the other hand Jews referring to themselves as Semites often cite remarks considered not favorable to them as anti-Semitic.

Upon configuration of the Aryan race origin in Persia now known as Iran and migration from Persia to Europe regarded Aryan extension in western Europe and Nordic region, Persian as German ancestry is more prominent.

At the same time – Germany’s Adolph Hitler and Nazi emphasis on Aryan identity with aversion for Jews demonstrated in the twentieth century is one aspect.

Moving forward, in the 20th and 21st century, the Jewish State of Israel in constant confrontation with Iran, the supposedly Persian ancestor of Germans is another dimension.

Iran, Germany and Israel triangle is evidenced in events in the previous and present century.

As for Indian Aryan patronage – the direct source is first former Persian invader Darius as stated above in 518 BCE.

The Persian religion Zoroastrian or Parsi religious text Avesta quoting Aryan and Arya along with the form of worship performing yagnas or  yagya – offerings in the fire in service to God adapted by Hindu Arya Samaj is a long held norm in all Hindu religious and cultural rituals.

The Indian specifically North Indian custom, tradition and cultural activities is conducted in adherence to Arya Samaj conventions. Indian weddings in North India are solemnized by Arya Samaj with fire in the pit known as Agni ( Tamil and Sanskrit term for fire) held witness to the event.

There are also corroborations on zoroastrian influence on Judaism and Christianity that are not limited to monotheistic belief.

Aryan and Arya in India as a race is not organic i.e. the source is foreign considering the Persian invasion nearly two thousand five hundred years ago with King Darius territorial expansive rule. There is affirmation that the Persian King Darius never enforced religion or cultural traits on other inhabitants of the captured or occupied territory. This feature explains the diminished phase of Zoroastrianism over a period of time.

The casteism in India is the invention of other settlers, explorers and intruders in India from the west contrary to current false paid propaganda suggesting Indian caste endorsement and ordinance originated from Srimad Bhagwat Gita by Lord Krishna who was not a brahmin and never favored hierarchy at any point in time. 

Lord Krishna opposed the idea of prejudice and discrimination based on creed, color and social or economic criteria. This characteristic of Lord Krishna is adequately elaborated in Mahabharata and in the previous epic Ramayana with Lord Vishnu incarnate Lord Ram during interaction with the so-called low caste or untouchable woman Sabari.

Then 7000 years ago Lord Ram abundantly clarified on the importance of character and not creed relevant in the assessment of human value. 

The 3rd century BCE and 3rd century CE – Sangam period in Tamil Nadu, South India was represented by Cheras, Cholas and Pandiyan dynasty known as Muchchangam. In Sangam age, there were no caste divisions or denominations as prevalent in the current modern India – the irony of all. 

There were four sects in society and were familiar as follows in Tamil language. 

Arasar – King, Anthanars – Scholars and Professionals in specific art and economic field. Vanigars as traders and merchants and Vellalars – the farming community. 

Arasar – King – The ruler of demarcated kingdoms in the region.

Anthanars – Skilled artisans and professionals in diverse fields and occupation.

Anthanars are mistakenly referred to as brahmins though the former were not part of caste orientation at the onset of this category. These individuals were from general society with skills and expertise in specific trade and accordingly earned respect and maintained professional status that were subject to identity theft in semblance with ongoing custom. 

The case in point as explained on this site earlier in this context – Anthanars – the male professionals wore a flower garland on their upper bare body with a white sarong like clothing that later adapted as veshti in Tamil and dhoti in Hindi that are common in India today synonymous to Indian women wearing a sari as the tradition.

Anthanars as skilled members in Tamil society during that time wearing a flower garland especially jasmine flowers on a white cotton thread was cultural trend.

There were many Anthanars as sculptors, goldsmiths, blacksmiths dealing with iron ore, precious metals etc, carpenters, architects and others worked with the garland on them. The Indian hot weather made the flowers wither by noon leaving only the white cotton thread on them. This white cotton  thread appropriately called in Tamil –  Punool  meaning flower threaded on the cotton thread.

The foreigners upon arrival in India – Tamil Nadu in particular observed the culture and owned Anthanars’ practice of wearing white thread on their torso and retained Tamil name Punool till today and reserved it only for brahmins – the newly created sect in the overt cultural invasion.

The foreigners subsequently designated real Anthanars of that time as inferior, unqualified and ineligible eventually branded as sub-castes, backward caste and unworthy of respect. Again consistent with convention in the past decade until now. The déjà vu scenario today.

Vanigars – Traders and merchants in commerce and economic activity. 

Vellalars – the agriculturists in farming and cattle raising community as chief contributors for survival of mankind. There were no sub-divisions and deeper classifications like the present time.

Women held equal merit and honor as the opposite male counterparts in society and not discarded as intelligence deficient and intellectually inept as practiced today at the so-called elite ruling class behest conforming to latter lacking in ethical standards and virtues. Above all intellect deficit disorder.

Tholkoppiam – the oldest Tamil literature preceding at least 3,000 years and before has rock inscriptions on Tamil civilization as pre-cursor for mankind development divided into the following categories.

Kurinji – Life began at the mountain top as hunters and gatherers.  The population worshipped Lord Murugan aka Tamil God. 

Lord Murugan denoted by the Star with six triangles is also associated with Lord Murugan’s six domains in Tamil Nadu as Aaru padai or Arupadai Veedu (house in six locations viz. Thirupparam Kundram in Madurai district, Thiruchendur, Pazhani, Thiruthani, Swami Malai and Pazha Mudir Czholai respectively.

The lord Murugan is also known as Arumugam (six-faces) which typically relates to the heavenly six angels as Krithikas raising the child Murugan – the son of God Shiva and Goddess Parvati.

The emulation of the star of Lord Murugan is noted in modern judaism using the star as the symbol cited as the Star of King David in Israel.

Mullai – Cattle raising on the valleys and green pasture of the hills – the deity worshipped in this instance was Mayon now known as Lord Vishnu. 

Marudam – The dense Forests were transformed into agriculture land – The deity worshipped here was Lord Indra. 

Neydal – The seas and oceans were explored with fishing and trade via sea voyage facilitating survival and prosperity – The deity worshipped was Varuna or Rain God – part of nature. 

Pallai – The life on desert was yet another human inhabitation. 

The Sangam age lauds female poets of that era. 

Women poets like Avvaiyar, Nachchellaiyar and Kakkaipadiniyar flourished in this period and contributed to Tamil literature.

The courage of women were also appreciated in many poems again unlike the present objectification, politicization, monetization and exploitation…of women normalized unfortunately with so-called women participation to denigrate womanhood for fake fame, fortune and publicity. 

Anytime history and events are subverted by politics, cinema, religion…tor economic and social engineering redefining and misinterpreting facts and originality, such indulgence emphasize impropriety and fraudulence amongst those behind misrepresentation. 

Indian casteism is not native to India rather imported and manifested much to social, economic and ethical violations. 

The Chola dynasty distorted depiction specifically the venerable brave Karikaalan Cholan in today Tamil cinema is a travesty and least surprising given Indian cinema decadence and desperation to rake fortune at the expense of their targets reflected in the precipitous death of Indian film industry.

The Famous Karikaalan Cholan – the older brother of the great King Raja Raja Cholan set precedence in valor, vigor and victory in battles is an icon.

The verifiable legacy of Karikaalan Cholan is praiseworthy.

The Chola King Karikaalan indelible mark in victorious battles, successful economic policy and public affairs management speaks volume as a remarkable ruler in his short lifespan.

“Pattinappalai written by Kadiyalur Uruttirangannanar depicts his life as well as military achievements.

Various Sangam poems mention the Battle of Venni where he defeated an alliance of the Cheras, Pandyas and 11 smaller chieftains.

Vahaipparandalai was another important battle fought by Karikala.

Trade and commerce prospered during his rule.

He also constructed irrigation tanks near river Kaveri to make available water for reclaimed land from the forest for farming.”

The Tamil Chola King Karikaalan’s baby brother due to vast age difference – King Raja Raja Cholan’s presence and prominence was widespread extending beyond South Asia into South East Asia – Singapore, Indonesia (Bali, Jakarta etc), Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, South Korea…familiarized with Tamil language, culture, religion etc.

The son of the King Raja Raja Cholan – Rajendra Cholan was also a renowned Tamil king of Chola dynasty – – the one who discovered and named the island nation Singapore – Tamil word meaning the Lion City expanding empire far and wide.

The UNESCO world heritage temple in Cambodia – Angkor Wat was built by the Chola  dynasty.

Similar to imposition of casteism on India and Indian society, the dravidian connotation on indigenous Tamils and Tamil population with Tamil lineage is a major political drive and a cultural deprivation on Tamilians in the past and present generation.

Tamil Nadu is fraudulently claimed as Dravida desam (state) by dravida political factions confronted with exposure on Dravida having no roots or connection with Tamil identity. None whatsoever.

However the dravidian politics inculcated by Periyar aka E.V. Ramasamy represented by dravida political dynasty DMK, ADMK and alike together with politics controlled film industry struggling to prolong the narrative in vain in Tamil Nadu.

Casteism in India as enunciated above is a wedge created to exert dominance of one segment over others leading to perpetual discord and communal divide in society. The strategy vastly benefitted the protagonists of hierarchy then proclaiming themselves as the chosen ones which was deceitfully established by displacing the original Anthanars at that time also called Parpannar – Tamil word meaning the one who oversee work involving goods and services – the modern lexicon being manager and senior management position in trade, arts and science.

Consequentially, the foreigners classified themselves as Anthanars who in original system were in second place following the ruler or King above at that time. Upon swift seizure of Anthanar category, the foreigners placed Anthanars as brahmins to draw close proximity with creator Brahman or the Supreme God which is not brahmin.

The foreigner then invented the term Shatriyas – meaning warrior – the one who fights the enemy – Shatru in Tamil, Sanskrit and Hindi language. They assigned the King and rulers under this category and called them the warrior class.

Basically the nomad foreigners in India assigned the title brahmins and certified themselves as the chosen ones by God and chose the occupation as priests being the easiest and least stressful with little or no physical labor requirement.

In placing priesthood with them as brahmins above the rest not barring the King and rulers in society, the status symbol alluded prestige and privilege. 

They also introduced a very shrewd calculated move adding whoever kills a brahmin i.e. anyone of them knowing there will be revolt against foreign subjugation and oppression of a once organized civilized society living in harmony until their intervention, the assassin or those attempting to hurt a brahmin will be dealt with severe consequences not only on earth but also in the Kingdom of God.

The foreigners stating themselves as brahmins equated themselves to Supreme entity Brahman and issued a decree that harming a brahmin is equivalent to assailing God and termed that as Brahm Hatya meaning kill or murder God. 

They also propagated that those engaged in Brahm Hatya or murder of any brahmin regardless of the latter crimes and various unlawful activities, the action is irredeemable sin and denied God’s mercy and forgiveness for ever. The presumptuousness in this regard is appalling at best. 

The bizarre rule from foreigners as brahmins was established then onwards and even observed in the assassination trial of the Chola King Karikaalan Cholan who was murdered by brahmins with evidence detailed in rock inscriptions in Sangam period with public awareness and knowledge long before the last century.

In reference to the 3rd category Vanigars (Tamil word) viz. Traders and merchants – the foreigners retained that as such in 3rd place and modified the name as Vaisya which in itself is a bit twisted terminology for the word Vaisya or Vaishya also refers to prostitution in Indian parlance.

In this category the foreigners as brahmins induced landowners typically the feudals that was excluded in the original Tamil civilized system for landownership was inalienable rights of all members in society prior to foreign induction. 

The foreigner’s caste system of 3rd category Vaisya had traders, merchants and feudals or landowners depriving others placed below them from land ownership. 

The 4th category – Vellalars comprising farmers, cattle raisers and multitude occupations providing essential goods and services as manufacturers, producers and technical fields were now grouped under foreigners’ new caste system as Sutras.

Sutras – the new classification specifying particular tasks defined by them as menial jobs and other areas of work like sanitary workers, sewage cleaners, cobblers i.e. in modern day shoe repairers, barbers likewise present day hairdressers, meat products sellers, textile weavers…anything and everything regarded beneath class 1 (brahmins), 2(King and rulers as Shatriyas) and 3 (Traders, Merchants and landowners, the feudals) were assigned to class 4 Sutras in society. 

The foreigners declared as brahmins and the chosen ones on tier 1 in hierarchy scheduled the once well respected and native population in society as backward caste, other backward caste, scheduled caste, scheduled tribes and the least of all the untouchables – Dalits in society. 

The so-called Dalits deemed untouchables till today in the supposedly independent modern progressing India face enormous discrimination, violence, exclusion and entry in public premise like temples – the common place of worship and several places despite India boasting Adi Vasi (indigenous / aborigine) and Dalit President,  the latter who in turn was declined entry into a temple citing his Dalithood while ignoring his formal official designation as President of India.

The entire caste system in India having become more fanatical than ever is a foreign manufactured societal indignation in the treatment of human beings as lesser than each other.

Notwithstanding the abhorrent prejudice and parochial culture as entitlement of one against another ignorantly justified in status quo. 

The political harvesting behind destructive social, economic and civilization regression is never ruled out and remain instrumental in fomenting and fostering polarization via caste, class, racial and religious tumult.

The topic will further unravel brahmins’ clan determination projected as Gotras or Gotram alienating themselves from the rest of society as exclusive with ancestry descended from sage and saints in possession of divine power.

Hate – Source and Catalysts Promoting Hatred

June 6, 2022

Hate – Source and Catalysts Promoting Hatred

Padmini Arhant

Idle mind is devil’s workshop. 

Power comes with responsibility. Any abuse of power by those using and exploiting authority invites reactions as such.

 

Respect is a two-way street. Never one way with a dead end. Anyone crossing the line whether once, twice or as a routine invariably experience the expected consequence.

The contemporary culture sowing, promoting and propagating hate, misogyny, animosity and diverse phobia are self- destructive course inevitably consuming the source and catalysts without a shadow of doubt.

Where does hate, misogyny and hostility emanate from?

Any and all of these characteristics stem from within largely due to ignorance and unwillingness to heed inner conscience against negative thoughts and actions.

Those who cultivate hate in the hope of harvesting from carcinogenic politics irrefutably succumb to the poison ivy they plant in and around them.

Hate and prejudice are outlets for those suffering from the dreadful terminal disease to vent own frustrations on their failures and overwhelming insecurity.

Importantly, hate represents void among those severely lacking in empathy, genuine care and compassion, tolerance and acceptance barring any and all form of discrimination.

The haters sadly reveal their state of mind saturated with apathy, bigotry, revenge and indignation. They waste their life obeying the demons inside them prompting narcissism and degenerative indulgence.

In the absence of self-esteem and integrity to introspect for necessary reform in their thought process and behavioral pattern, they prey on anyone and anything they regard a fair game.

Considering the correlation between hate and hell not only in semantics but also in application of end justifying the means, the hate mongers and haters unwisely transform their life into living hell and upon imminent demise.

Hate is a deadly parasite that ultimately affects the physical, mental and emotional well being of the host inviting internal and external conflicts in the otherwise troubled lives of those embarked on suicide mission.

Hate is the biggest tragedy for those harboring ill-feelings and malice against their targets despite the consequences of ignoring hatred delivering personal hurt and injury via shame, incrimination and purposeless life.

The politics seeding hate, hatred, discriminatory, derogatory and inflammatory policy typically yield results accordingly. Scapegoat anyone for own deliberate vindictive abusive conduct is asinine.

Besides, such theatrics is self-declaration in core criminality reeking contempt and cowardly sinister political ideology. Notwithstanding the routine conforming to radical fundamentalist dysfunctional performance on display.

The publicity starved personalities igniting sparks in public domain with reckless sensationalized sentiments via their political appointees and representatives on religion or prophets of any faith and other sensitive social issues, the desperation is conspicuously ominous for them and their hired stooges deployed for such provocation.

The true colors of the provocateurs and relevantly the mindset of the political leadership at the helm they represent surface at these times much to self-deprecation. These elements making themselves available for cheap exploitation by politics and political leaderships or any other influential entity is self-explanatory.

Then there are those claiming patent rights on intelligence with the cliché on artificial intelligence connotation are reminded to demonstrate their so-called organic intelligence evidently having miserably failed them in possession of any values except spreading hate and spewing venom as exclusive right and entitlement in semblance with their false persona.

What good is such prized intelligence they fraudulently take pride in when it is not reflected in human character – civility and dignity?

The downfall and disgrace following hate, misogyny and acrimony are the writings on the wall.

Western Selective Sanctions

March 2, 2022

Western Selective Sanctions

Padmini Arhant

When will the western sanctions be impartial and unbiased a reverse of selective sanctions tradition?

1. Is the west (EU and the United States) ever going to acknowledge the insurrection against then democratically elected government in Kiev’s Maidan Square in 2014 including installation of neo-nazi governments of their choice thereafter and accept full responsibility for Ukraine’s status quo? 

2. What about the partisan politics on abuse of power, corruption scandals and crimes against humanity differentiated among Presidential office bearers in the United States?

The case in point – the politically targeted serving President is subject to repeat impeachment proceedings while the predecessors misusing their power in office with abhorrent war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan to name a few among plethora of violations of lives and sovereignty worldwide are guaranteed and safeguarded with stealth political impunity.

Similarly, those conspicuously involved in heinous crimes not barring the creation of IS and ISIS terror networks, misleading America and the world on the alleged capture and killing of the deceased al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden and slew of scandalous operations affecting populations in many global regions are celebrated  and cherished as American exceptionalism. 

3. Importantly and relevantly, Will the west having been involved in the controversial gain of function research gambling with human health and life as greedy investors and reckless risk operatives holding science hostage to suit their whims and fancies till date, their consistent flip flopping on the origin to management of the deadly pathogen unleashed on humanity consuming millions of lives ever be sanctioned?

4. What about their partners in crime on the global pandemic accountability as facilitator in Wuhan lab, Wuhan Virology Institute, Hubei Province, China attracting western investments and participation in the western pioneered game of function research? 

If not, why is there such discriminatory practice on crimes from western engagement and direct indulgence never subject to same rule of law that the west reserves as the right to impose on others to justify western norm in crimes endangering life and environment thus far?

These legitimate questions merit explanation to clarify western democracy and principles in the world.

Human Nature

February 14, 2022

Human Nature

Padmini Arhant

Hate, prejudice, misogyny, body shaming (the latest trend in misogyny), questioning natural intelligence and all form of discrimination is unfortunately human nature. The difference being those harboring ill-feelings, jealousy and other negative traits express and exercise hatred excessively towards those whom they target and even obsessed with much to self-detriment.

When human life is wasted in such engagement, the result harm the source and origin drastically and sometimes to the point of no return.

Reiterating the fact, life is a learning center. The lessons throughout life journey is a reminder to change course accordingly. The negativities in human qualities are carcinogenic and virulent with adverse impact on the minds affecting the body and soul.

The human characteristics are drawn into likes and dislikes in many variations with the latter often transformed into extreme reaction prompting provocative and sometimes violent behavior.

These attributes emanate from ignorance and disinformation with propaganda serving the objectives to satisfy destructive thoughts and false perception.

The submission to hate, isolation and marginalization of others also stem from acute self-esteem evolving into deep insecurity raising impulsive assumptions about anyone or anything as threat in the absence of reason and rationale.

Individuals and collective forces abuse as entitlement is the tradition. The reversal educating and refining own belief and convictions with proper understanding of anyone or anything could dispel misconceptions and erroneous judgments. The process could also liberate own mindset from unnecessary inward turmoil leading to inner peace permeating outside.

The sense of powerful status while having no control over inner violations promoting harm and injury not necessarily restricted to physical attacks rather extended into denying fundamental rights and inalienable human liberty is self-contradictory.

Human form is an opportunity to rise and elevate internally developing ability to understand issues from perspective other than own that shape better relations overall. In doing so, the innate human consciousness allow positive values replacing dominant negative ones releasing the mind from captivity.

The counterproductive human nature is acquired and inherited from influence and indoctrination. The power and superiority complex intoxicate human mind driving the mental energy into spreading toxins in the environment.

In a nutshell, the power is best demonstrated not in external status as authority, affluence and prominence.  The power is well defined in maintaining the balance within averting deterioration of goodness and distinguishing right and wrong.

The biggest challenge for the stray mind is abandoning the lost cause and exploitative purpose.

The human nature adaptation to tolerance, acceptance and appreciation could make life a blessing for self and all around.

India – Republic Day 2022 Message in Hindi

February 5, 2022

India – Republic Day 2022

Message in Hindi

Padmini Arhant

India celebrating 75th anniversary of Independence from Colonial rule and oppression presumably until 1947.

Is India truly a free, democratic republic as touted to be in the present time?

The presentation in Hindi place current events, the political system ideology and agenda in perspective by

Author and Presenter – Padmini Arhant

It is not surprising to note the proxy representatives of foreign and domestic dominant forces in India denied the tableau of the valiant Queen Velu Nachchiar of Siva Ganga, Tamilnadu, India in the Reoublic Day parade on January 26th, 2022.

Who is Queen Velu Nachchiar?

 Queen Velu Nachchiar, SivaGanga, TamilNadu, India 

The Queen Velu Nachchiar means the chief and head of the Kingdom  – the not widely publicized on purpose by the foreign colonialists and traitors in her homeland yet she was the only Indian ruler – a female and empress in Indian history to stand up against colonialism at that time and successfully regained her kingdom from the colonial British. 

Queen Velu Nachchiar created the women army to boost women power alongside male recruits to fight against the colonialists in the 18th century.

She was the eighteenth century Queen of Sivaganga, Tamil Nadu, India.

Queen Velu Nachiyar, the 18th century queen from Sivagangai district of Tamil Nadu fought against the British and recaptured her kingdom. She is widely known as the first queen to put up a resistance against the colonial power, even before the Rani of Jhansi.

Queen Velu Nachchiar was the predecessor to Rani Lakshmi Bai, the Rajput Queen of Jhansi, Rajasthan, India. 

South India, Tamil Nadu – Then reining Queen of SivaGanga, Tamil Nadu’s Velu Nachchiar battle against the colonial rulers and abominable taxations imposed by the occupiers against the occupied posed a serious challenge for the natives  at that time.

Among them, the incident surrounding Queen Velu Nachchiar’s contingency opposed to colonial exploitation in land seizure and taxes were lined up by the colonial forces, who chopped of their right arm and left leg to cripple them for life rather than leaving them dead.

The valiant Queen Velu Nachchiar then rose against the invaders – the colonial British Raj and recaptured her kingdom. The 18th century Queen Velu Nachchiar from Tamil Nadu, India was the first and the only one to successfully defend her kingdom, people and the bastion from ruthless foreign aggression during her rule in that period.

Prejudice and Hate Crime

May 29, 2020

Prejudice and Hate Crime

Padmini Arhant

Today United States of America is protesting in some parts of the country on the tragic death of  a human being – George Floyd, an African American falling victim to hate crime by an individual whose duty was to protect all citizens from any harm as a law enforcement officer.  

Unfortunately, whenever these incidents occur those committing such violent crimes in their uniform fail to recognize the injury they inflict not only on their target which usually leads to fatality but also the law enforcement they represent to maintain law and order in society that are often violated by some members driven by prejudice against those whom they isolate for purposes other than defined by the state of law. 

Let there be no selective empathy as discrimination based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, economic, education and social background as well as differences in any manner are condemnable.

Hate crimes and violence against unarmed citizens are the norm with some gaining national attention leading to mass demonstrations while others barely known to the public especially when it involves authorities in the highest order granting them indefinite impunity on abuse of power and position in office.

George Floyd from Minneapolis, Minnesota experience is commonly shared by his fellow African Americans in particular and some Latino population throughout United States from time to time.

Laws applicable on all citizens not necessarily upheld exempting those in authority and power from misuse of  their designation. 

On October 3rd, 2013  unarmed young African American woman, Miriam Carey was mercilessly gunned down by White House Security Service Personnel and Capitol Police reportedly in the presence of then occupants the former President Barack Obama (Nobel Peace Prize Winner 2009) and  Michelle Obama in the premise at that time.

Miriam Carey, 34-year-old mother was riddled with thirty five bullets and her then 13 month old daughter witness to the horrific crime just outside the White House compound at  

1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500.

Miriam Carey apparently did not deserve any regrets or remorse from her assassins or those in the White House aware of the horrendous crime let alone any nationwide condemnation denouncing the abhorrent indifference to an unarmed citizen trying to protect her toddler child from the barrage of bullets aimed at her with the assailants showing no mercy at her or the toddler restrained in the car seat at the back on that fateful day. 

The events such as these continue to represent the dark history repeating itself and apathy from those in power transcending race in this context is the irony.

Selective justice and identity politics is the worst from of intolerance and bigotry in the so-called free society.

Thank you.

Concoction

August 29, 2016

By Padmini Arhant

The contemporary trend is concoction.  Concoction of lies, deception, deceit, fiction, fabrication extended into perversion to protect esoteric sanctuary.

The overwhelming majority in the world work for survival and to provide for their family. These people work very hard regardless of their profession and jobs to enable them and their loved ones a decent life.

Then there are others who dedicate their lives to harm anyone and engage in self-deprecating and destructive cause.  They hire agents and operatives to inflict damages and sabotage anything considered an obstruction to their counterproductive course. They have diverse representation to target anyone they regard an obstacle to their concoction.

The name of the game is prejudice. Although prejudice is injustice and in today’s society humans are conditioned to believe the practice as the source’s prerogative and expect victims to endure without any objection.

Prejudice is not limited to race and religion. There is gender bias with sub-classifications in this context. Then there is isolation, segregation with deliberate intentions to destroy image and character.

Ignorance plays a major role in this instance and presumptuousness is the predominant factor that diminish human rationale in the distinction between sane and unwise volition.

The traits of entities and contingency in such indulgence are a sign of desperation as desperate times seek desperate measures to maintain concoction.

When someone treads on a trail blindfolded they could be cautioned with the hope they would heed advice. However, what do you do with those blinded by their belief in doing something terribly wrong as absolutely right?  In this case some learn from experience while others insist on continuing on the path to self-detriment.

The latest strategy amongst the groups regarding them superior and privileged is to undermine and discredit anyone presumed to be a threat to status quo. All kinds of tactics and techniques are deployed using media as the propaganda medium under the guise of entertainment, information and discussion. The constant efforts to camouflage the obvious about them is the norm.

They shun two things – cleanliness and transparency.  Not surprisingly the parody on both are retained to deflect public attention.  The aversion to former emanates from the reactionaries’ contentment towards dirt and filth in inner self and outer surroundings while with the latter the dichotomy is ignored for convenience.

Transparency in provocative appearance with attire is defiantly adapted whereas disclosure on facts and events affecting humanity concealed as classified data.

The smoke screen prevents revelations for false impression about state of affairs.

The paid volunteers and performers not barring intruders on espionage and surveillance pledge their service in malice and wickedness to tarnish the directed target. Those with self-respect and esteem would normally distance from such intrusion and preoccupation notwithstanding the misconception about participation as sense of pride.

Needless to say the respectable ones would know to treat others the way they would like to be treated and refrain from impiety resulting in nothing other than self-incrimination.

No action is without consequence and accordingly the karmic burden weighs down with incessant suffering in the long run.

Inner peace is the treasure cove enhancing demeanor and personality reflected in exercising reasoning faculty prior to unpleasant disposition.

Live and let others live without reservations and pre-judgments with planet as the common habitat sharing endowments and human potential to benefit all and not the selective few.

Never too late to do right in life.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
