Transparency vs. Secrecy, Dysfunctional Politics

By Padmini Arhant

1. What is the idea behind secrecy?

When actions are unlawful and unethical, the wrongdoer/s have trepidation about exposure and consequences in dealing with unconscionable indulgence. The cloak and dagger is the preference over coming forward clean and accepting responsibility to alleviate burden on the soul.

2. Why is transparency shunned by those in public domain?

As much as they like glitz and glamor, those accountable for crimes in various aspects avoid transparency due to fear and lack of courage to face reality.  They are even embarrassed to admit the real age and hide behind superficial persona.

3. When is secrecy no longer sustainable?

When offenders continually engage in repeat blunders rendering them defunct in willful folly.

4. Is transparency anathema to those sworn to secrecy?

Absolutely. Similar to daylight unwelcome by darkness.

5. What are the elements associated with secrecy?

Dishonesty, deceit and deception leading to delusional aspirations.

6. Where is transparency ominously missing?

In politics and society activities involving public trust and taxpayer money.

7. How is corruption linked to secrecy?

Corruption is fundamental to secrecy. The corrupt mind prompts fraudulence along with urge to conceal facts and defy truth. The dilemma clouds judgment among individuals unheeding conscience and ethical standards in society.

8. Why is transparency rejected for secrecy?

The former is submission to morality and integrity while latter subscribes to malevolence in conjunction with evil attributes having no respect or remorse on counterproductive course.

9. How is secrecy maintained in the information age?

Propaganda, subversion and distortion serve as the means to deflect public attention from actual event and data with captive audience. The other tactics such as threat, intimidation, caricature and character defamation are also deployed to safeguard secrecy.

10. What is the biggest secret for those pledged to secrecy?

Mum is the word about the ones mummified.

Keeping the dead alive and denying death in dalliance with mortality.

Thank you.

DYSFUNCTIONAL POLITICS

By Padmini Arhant

What is wrong with Politics? 

The incognito forces wheeling power from behind are resistant to realistic change. They want to prolong status quo with executive, legislative and judiciary branch representing them not the electorate.

They want election to continue to be catharsis in order to maintain business as usual with special interests drafted legislations and foreign allies’ welfare prioritized over citizens’ rights on justice as terror victims in 9/11 inside collusion and operation. Similarly, the policy and strategy against national progress is preserved and pursued regardless of repeat failures and liability.

The pre-selected nominees in adherence to scripted role from campaign trail to entire term in office pledge allegiance to secret society reining control over system. In return these selected representatives are rewarded with lifetime luxury and immunity on crimes ranging from misuse of power and office, treason to complicity and direct involvement resulting in deaths of scores of innocent lives at home and abroad.

In politics loyalty adapts to chameleon trait to serve self-interest. The bipartisanship in enabling anti-republic affairs and pre-conceived agenda such as Project for New American Century (PNAC) to attack foreign nations at allies behest ignoring serious repercussions all around not barring compromise on safety and security of own citizens and the nation at large is regarded patriotic.

Terror and terrorism is the trend adopted to circumvent public protest to aggression deploying boots on the ground against nations posing no threat to United States and citizens at any time. The position is constant favoring foreign allies and hegemonic goals.

The multi-billion dollar financial and military aid to allies while denying own people economic opportunity is appreciated as fiscal responsibility. The government shut down to demonstrate congressional power is exercised as prerogative with salary during this period notwithstanding losses from suspending essential public services exacerbating national deficit and burden on taxpayer.

The extra judicial power assumed in the executive branch targeting individuals whether native or foreign without due process is commended as courageous decision. The license to kill at will in predator drone attacks chasing unarmed and defenseless children, women and men in the dark in poorest countries are praised as valiant demeanor.

The dragnet surveillance tracks law abiding citizens with false flag events and patsies to justify unconstitutional and undemocratic activities under the guise of national security.

Any information deserving public attention and scrutiny on national matter categorized as classified exempting entities liable for actions from accountability.

The members extending full cooperation in undermining sovereignty and republic status guaranteed secure political career and promoted for significant posts to protect current structure.

When electoral process is marred with Super PAC  bidding on candidacy granting bidders the political clout, the voters participation is nothing more than a formality to modify selection as election.

The dawn of democracy is made possible in rejecting unscrupulous means prevalent in power struggle for personal aspirations and delivery to campaign financiers voiding voters’ legitimacy.

Election in the present norm simplified as a ritual to legitimize illegitimacy and proclaimed as electoral mandate.

As usual betrayal and voters trust violation is the expected outcome in the stagnant pyramid setting.

The only hope is nothing meant to persist for eternity and  anything dysfunctional being unsustainable ultimately comes to conclusion.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Irony

By Padmini Arhant

Hi Folks!

Hope you are all doing good!

I want to focus on contemporary events.

There are jobs that involves the worker or employee to use their mind and in many fields that would be physical work like lifting, moving and transporting items and so on.

But then there are performers. They are not required to use their brains or exercise discretion, thoughts etc. Instead they follow the script provided by those hiring them. They simply adhere to customized template and paid million dollars or so if not some incredible amount.

You might be wondering what exactly they do to deserve such sum.  Well their job is – believe it or not – insult people and engage in mockery, parody of the hirer’s choice.

You ask them – what do you do for living?  They might say they are famous people involved in something very interesting and how much they love doing what they do without sharing details.

What exactly they do is disparage specific entity or person their employer wants them to do and these people are rewarded for that performance. The rewards comes as awards to them.

These people are made celebrities for appeasing the group appointing them with particular task and that is constant vilifications and denigration of whoever selected for their ridicule.

The culture is promoted vigorously not just in the name of entertainment but also persists in political arena.

Having originated in politics and buttressed on political platform, it has extended into other fields to cover the base. Those are communication media, press, shows and what have you in public domain.

In their caricature and political retribution, they call names such as Frankenstein, monster, terrorist, someone using technology to devour anything upon contact. They have other characterizations as well in this regard not barring backward, brute and characterless. The most preferred title for them is maid. 

The reference maid is yet another contradiction given their life revolving around hard working people attending to their basic to extravagant needs in return for condescendence from them not to mention own parasitic existence. 

They don’t stop here. They cry foul upon them being challenged about these colorful disposition simply for bringing facts on issues and events that they withhold from public knowledge while maintaining the stance on abusive and insulting conduct they regard as their prerogative.

The other things worth noting is – have you all wondered why politics is the way it is?

I have asked this question whether politics or the political players should be blamed for status quo?

Is it politics at fault or the ones in politics responsible for this field associated with negative connotation?

Mind you, politics is not necessarily run by those whom you see as so and so with typical designations like Congressman, Congresswoman, Senator, President, Prime Minister, Minister of Parliament (MP) and Minister besides various cabinet and administration positions. Although these members are operatives pledging allegiance to certain cause and agenda,

The political gamut is insular and quite secretive. Somehow the entities calling the shots on important issues varying from elections to economic opportunity and citizens freedom remain in the dark. They shun light and choose to be incognito.

Needless to say they are paranoid of any exposure about them and their enigma when they do not have any problems about their actions like massive surveillance on law abiding ordinary citizens and those who are transparent with nothing to hide from society.  

These individuals consider themselves the ultimate authority exempting them from any law and order including scrutiny while they expect others to comply with serious consequences for failure to do so. Something to bear in mind according to them.

Since they want to protect the false image, they deploy surrogates and agents on payroll to attack anyone seeking openness and candid response for conflicting situation.

The favorite terminology among them is terror. Who else would know better than them considering customary practice using terror and terrorism, their alter ego and that is the irony.

Cheers!

Thank you.

Clarity on Reality

By Padmini Arhant

Hello Everyone,

How are you all doing? 

I would like to clarify for the record that as author and presenter on the website padminiarhant.com and representative divine mission statements from me in publications are not fabricated and exaggerated or full details withheld as claimed by my ardent critics to defend their indefensible system with rules and regulations not necessarily applied across the spectrum.

The reaction from them is least surprising to me and symptomatic of thy reflection on actions with deliberate omission and selection of material in public domain.

When I cite incidents like the one mentioned in my recent article with a segment on Travel about the tan, brown and darker traveler frisked and questioned more often was stated not out of imagination.  In fact, this has been a routine experience for my family including myself during travel despite following rules to the code.

When anybody dismiss or discount others experience in life related to any form of prejudice not limited to race and gender simply because they have not had any such incidents to account for, they either represent those involved or consider the treatment objectionable only when it happens to them or someone known to them. 

Accordingly, the selective profiling that targets specific segments in society not regarded an issue with victims of bias expected to tolerate and accept the discriminatory practice as the way of life.

The belief premised strictly on personal encounter in any situation otherwise slighted whether serious illness or disability not barring violation of individual rights fits the definition of narcissism.

Injustice like everything else nowadays is categorized as inappropriate depending on the individual at the receiving end.

Society is constantly misled with propaganda having become the means for survival to sustain the unsustainable tradition.

As for my introduction, the political figures reference to me that I am not speaking in first person is nothing more than them confirming the flip flop position typical in politics. In my earlier days when I started with self-identity in the normal sense, I had to deal with clamor to refrain from using the terms I, me, or myself.

Now they seem to have a problem with me not having said so and speaking as a third person characterizing the manner arrogant even though initially suggested by them and customized with creation of proxies and many thousand different names and unsavory characters not barring personalities associated with notoriety  nuanced at me. The unconventional and unprecedented distortion in an attempt to invalidate my existence and identity exemplify desperate tactic.

Evidently the convenient memory loss in politics seesawing on various issues is due to confusion and false perception about the policy and strategy proved counterproductive further exacerbated with the state of denial.

Democracy is bargained for exclusivity in retaining power and prosperity at the expense of vast majority.

Once again – My Profile. I am who I am and remain so irrespective of any opinion otherwise.

Name – Padmini Achintya Arhant.

Gender – Female, Religion – Hindu.

Representation – Divine Mission.

Philosophy – Peace, Pious and Progress possible with secular, fair and equal opportunity for all humanity.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Rhapsody on Parody Part II

By Padmini Arhant

In my earlier segment I briefed on Parody.

The resistance to change to status quo is experimented with viral attacks on the public medium using all outlets at their disposal like movie, television and talk shows…anything and everything in print, visual and audio media through parody resulting in self-caricature.

The political theater is run at taxpayers’ expense with political opportunists wasting citizens’ money on theatrical charade.

Those who indulge in indignation of others in disagreement to any constructive proposals are obstructionists to progress. The operatives involved in different capacity are instrumental in this process. The inability to deal with reality arouse irrational thoughts and insipid performance from them.

Additionally, the customary tactics are also deployed with blatant threats such as reference to second amendment in the United States Bill of Rights once again revealing the real intent to keep constitution and the Bill of Rights as play book subverting the code and purpose.

There could be no denying that politics is dirty, ugly and downright brutal exemplified long ago going back to Roman days by Brutus and hence the term brutal in vernacular. The political players preach and practice violence. Corruption is the acceptable culture fostering criminality with no accountability.

Politics is the art of deception in superficial setting with courtesy and pleasantry displayed to beguile audience besides promises to move voters to the polls and the rest is history.

The saboteurs of change maintain the tradition to disparage and demonize entity committed towards development and peaceful existence benefitting all not the selective few represented in the establishment.

The trend is assassination and elimination of peace makers and peaceful resolutions to world problems.  War and mechanisms facilitating warfare such as terrorism in the present time is the preference among these forces unwilling to relent to peace and freedom.

These anti-humanity and anti-environment crusaders exist only for now sparing no thoughts about future. They believe in arming the world notwithstanding nuclear proliferation amongst key nuclear powers amid saber rattling on territorial disputes to establish supremacy.

The world has never been more dangerous than before with free access to weapons that includes nuclear components attributed to irresponsible politics and failed policy in the hope of end justifying the means that describes the prevalent mindset.

Money and ammunitions in human possession has weakened them undermining basic elements and values contrary to the belief that wealth and weapons means empowerment. Despite nuclear status and massive control on lives and livelihoods, they are insecure and fearful.

The hunger for power is intensified with fraudulent practice evident in elections that legitimize illegitimacy and unscrupulousness leading the way.

Could there be dawn to dispel darkness?

Never a time anything destructive could prolong with repeat failures and fractured system.

Thank you.

Immunity – War Crimes and Abuse of Power

By Padmini Arhant

Terror and terrorism emanating from profiteers of violence with agenda to prolong status quo is the twenty first century war against peace and unity.

Politics seeped in corruption and criminality justified as the means to remain in power through elections that legitimize illegitimacy is the norm that fuels chaos and turmoil in the tumultuous era.

The institutions, private organizations and secret society run governments poised as champions of democracy while unseating democratically elected choices for proxies representing the ideology and dogma prevalent much to self-detriment.

The success through ballots in the so-called democracies is largely based on campaign finance and unscrupulous strategy allowing the undesirable and establishment nominees to acquire power. 

The electoral process is a platform misguiding the hungry and hopeless electorate in search for hope and change in life with the elected ultimately serving the campaign sponsors and economic stakeholders interest.

The incognito rule directing policies with representatives and agents in politics, economic sector, communication media and entertainment industry…not barring religious domain exemplify the state of affairs.

Any investigations and inquiry on wars clearly identifying the authorities misuse of power and cavalier approach would be effective and meaningful upon universal application of international law rather than selective incarceration and judgments witnessed time and again against Eastern Europe and African members targeted to convince the world on International Court of Justice role as UN body.

Furthermore, the nations proclaimed as democratic conducting probe on such matter utilizing tax payer funds could demonstrate serious commitment in advancing the inquest into indictments setting precedence to curb abuse of power and discretionary actions by the government claimed to represent the people.

Instead, the former and present chief executives are provided opportunity through media and surrogacy to self-exonerate on crimes against humanity rendering the independent or appointed committees’ arduous exercise futile to reinforce business as usual practice.

In any society that values democratic principles would hold every citizen accountable regardless of status for violation of laws and human rights reversing the paradoxical system.

The tradition granting immunity to political figures and celebrities on activities that would otherwise have legal repercussions for ordinary citizens is a vindication of crimes and criminal behavior adding insult to injury to victims and families in the apparent civil society.

The powerful forces aggression against powerless misinterpreting political mandate and operating without checks and balances in the increasingly cooperative and tolerant setting to blatant breach of electoral trust and sovereign integrity promotes carte blanche authority.

Unless the severity of damages in enabling counterproductive course and indulgence is addressed through mass consciousness predominantly affecting them, the path to destruction would continue under the pretext of pervasive benefit despite reality.

The mind invasions in the name of art and entertainment as well as every possible medium that attracts public attention are engaged for propaganda and illusive portrayal. 

Although the nuances are intended to tarnish images with the efforts in vain, the disclaimers conveniently used in defense to absolve them of possible legal consequence on character defamation and mendacity.

Again the noble and righteous would introspect and refrain from being part and parcel of contemptuous dealing.

The world’s progress is sustainable with law and order made applicable from top to bottom without exception rejecting exclusive privilege based on political and economic position.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Political Setbacks on Social Issues

By Padmini Arhant

Political twists and maneuvers to prolong status quo is nothing more than a desperate strategy.

The pre-selected candidacies perform the scripted role to satisfy requirement aimed at rejecting pre-ordained purpose behind humanitarian tasks and planet survival.

United States Presidential race in 2008 ignored candidates’ gaffes, excess baggage and their respective affiliations with church, controversial figures and speeches as faux pas while condescending remarks notwithstanding devious insinuations viz. witchcraft, sorcery against divine mission dominated election.

In 2012, the focus was religious denomination – Mormonism in particular nuanced confirming the establishment and members’ identity.

Additionally, there was a mockery of this website for recommendations on legitimate governance with effective and meaningful economic plan and taxation laws leading to fair income distribution. The willful participants posing as progressives and populists engaged in denigrating ideas and solutions to problems created by supremacy oriented agenda.

Under the guise of entertainment, the satire promoted in this context highlight impropriety and distortion besides active plagiarism and copyright infringement on material, style and theme.

Not surprisingly, the 2016 election embarked on caricature and flagrant disposition on race, religion, gender and life orientation reflect the ruling cadre mindset and prejudice.

Obsession with power, fame and fortune corrupts individuals and political class deteriorating in civility and disregard for ethical standard that are not without repercussions as the wheels inevitably turn against those indulging in covetousness.

The discriminatory practice, segregation and isolation is the hallmark of colonialism judiciously adhered by loyalists today in the so-called democracy with little or no semblance to democratic principle.

Politics conforming to deception and false dissemination resist genuine concepts due to delusional aspirations and dismissal of repeat failures experienced thus far.  Social issues are exploited to the maximum for political gains and goals to benefit self and vested interests in the diminishing era of dominance.

Elsewhere, the policy retaining reservations and quotas patronize segments with caste connotations in the pledge of allegiance to feudalism denying society equality and disavow hierarchy system.

The common plight between marginalized demography and the rest among mainstream are poverty, unemployment and economic disparity. 

The sensible and rational approach in elevating economic and social conditions would be to eliminate plutocracy premised on nepotism and cronyism with impunity on corruption and criminal involvement.

Unless the nation recognizes all citizens with equal rights and opportunity implementing measures that abandon obsolete archaic traditions posing impediments, progress will remain a political rhetoric.

Social and economic justice is made possible in sowing the seeds of prospects and productivity barring undue preference and privileges to compete in a level playing field and showcase skills and ingenuity.

The regression on social evolution is a major setback despite society taking pride in modern aspects as cultural revolution.

Political decisions are primarily responsible in preventing positive changes in societal behavior.  The affluent groups and influential sources like entertainment and communication media are also used in protecting duality and duplicity.

The concerted efforts in undermining peace and harmony justified as political expediency is best declined along with manufactured events providing fodder for forces capitalizing on polarization and acrimony.

Fabrication and fiction as unscrupulous means do not necessarily become the fact regardless of publicity delineating reality from make-believe enactment.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

India – Celebrity Worship And Ostentation Ad Nauseam

By Padmini Arhant

Recently the High Court in Mumbai – the city where Indian film industry (Bollywood) is represented delivered a verdict in the high profile criminal case. 

The hit and run case with Bollywood actor Salman Khan faced charges on manslaughter and four others severely injured in the incident that occurred in 2002.

The driver under the influence of alcohol having lost control rammed over people on the curb side leaving one person dead and four seriously hurt in the incident.

The drunken driver identified as the Bollywood actor Salman Khan at that time by eyewitnesses including the actor’s personal bodyguard in the initial police complaint set the stage for long legal battle between two sides – the victims –  the unknown and poor individuals vs. celebrity with net worth over $200 million.

In the thirteen years of legal wrangling and circumventions by the accused notwithstanding witnesses deaths having provided sworn testimony before the magistrate, the court drama in typical Bollywood style was brought to an end favoring none other than the defendant.

The defendant was acquitted of all charges and hailed victorious in Indian tinsel town. The film fraternity and admirers along with fans apparently rejoicing the outcome.

Yet another Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan aka SRK contemporarily dealing with investigations on financial transactions contributing to INR 100 crore rupees i.e. $10 million loss to Indian ex-checker or treasury welcomed the decision in the criminal case of his counterpart Salman Khan claiming the conclusion positive for the silver screen performer.

Just two months ago, the Bollywood actress turned politician currently representing the ruling BJP and NDA government – Hema Malini’s car collision with another vehicle near the national highway in Northern region resulted in the death of a four years old child and her family sustaining life threatening injury.

As per the family’s account – the passerby (a doctor!) having witnessed the horrific incident escorted the celebrity with minor abrasions while neglecting the family including the child that was in need of emergency treatment.

The celebrity Hema Malini received top notch medical attention in private facility compared with the ordinary family left on the highway for more than two to three hours without any sign of rescue attributed to the child’s tragic loss of life.

The actress cum politician Hema Malini held the distressed family responsible for the fatal scene.

Celebrities in Indian society – entertainment domain predominantly film industry and sports arena besides the powerful entities in politics and economic sector held above the law.

Celebrity worship ad nauseam promotes social inequality deepening economic disparity.

Celebrities entering politics upon diminishing stardom is not uncommon.  Actors turning politicians and vice versa is the tradition.

The movie and sports personalities are major attractions for political parties aimed at complicity to policy not necessarily in public interest.  The tasks of mobilizing disenchanted electorate made easier with glamor and glitz distraction.

Unfortunately for the average citizens – the segment in the lowest economic strata looking for opportunity to drift away from continuous struggles, cinema is the means for escapism.

When people in the poorest socio economic background make nobody into somebody evolving as celebrity, the source behind celebrities’ fame and success not only forgotten but also taken for granted in the ever increasing frenzy over superficial display.

The rich, famous and influential ability to wheel justice in their direction slighting evidence based facts in criminal cases made possible by corruption culture and undue fanfare to celebrity status.

Film stars are the creation of collective contributions beginning with make-up artists, costume designers, choreographers and multitude expertise as behind the scenes operatives not to mention the lyricists, screen play writers, musicians and technology oriented techniques under capable director that leads to the final product.

The glory assigned to main characters ignoring the crucial team in movie making and subsequent hype is distortion.

Above all, the show without audience would be zero despite overestimated hero.

Unless bias and adulation set aside with civic funded institutions across the spectrum such as judiciary, police, prosecution and forensics immunity to incentives compromising fair trial, the victims would be denied justice in the real world.

Perhaps the people especially the poorer sections in society facilitating empowerment of those trampling on their rights to fairness and equality awakening to reality would balance the scales in the court of law.

My condolence to families and survivors affected in the society’s intoxication to ostentation prevalent in the form of entertainment.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Face The Truth – Press, Communication Media and Entertainment Sector

 

By Padmini Arhant

The contemporary trend is mind control with propaganda, lies and unsubstantiated allegations to subvert truth deflecting attention from reality.

Additionally, the platform facilitates hate mongering, prejudice and polarization in society.

The communication media and entertainment industry widely used for this purpose.  The degenerative political, economic and social environment is a reflection of forces at the helm reining power incognito.

Despite repeat failures in the so called war on terror through terrorism notwithstanding major electoral debacles by their proxies in government, the declining supremacy evidently nothing more than a fantasy with history serving as testimony until today.

Since desperate times seeks desperate measures, the dimming powerhouse reliance on misinformation and denigration via paid representatives in the literary and artistic fields incentivized with undeserving awards and titles to parrot prompters message further confirms decaying process.

As a result, the entertainment along with press and other communication outlets are extensively deployed in mass manipulation.

In this segment, I pose the following questions to Media, Entertainment and literary body for complicity to abuse of power.

1. Is the press reporting news events factually or induce politically motivated characterization?

The latter is the preferred practice misleading public and to curb challengers at bay.

2. Are communication media and broadcasting networks transformed into state media and proprietary interests rather than stalwarts in holding authority and celebrity accountable for misusing self proclaimed privileged status?

Political establishment owned television networks and communication channels primarily set up to cover up scandals involving them and target genuine opposition delineated from political affiliation.  The media syndicate diversion and distortion promote vested agenda leaving the captive audience in the dark.

The various media including television are convenient mediums for slander and malicious rumors besides masquerading criminality and corrupt regimes in power.

3. How come the entertainment industry profiteering from unauthorized theme and content not pursuing real events with forces behind crimes against humanity?

The entertainment industry – television and theaters controlled and maneuvered for mind invasion with fabrication and falsehood prevent discovery of facts and truthful exposure leading to real perpetrators in disguise.

4. Why can’t the entertainment industry exercise diligence and discernment over cashing in on trashing and bashing natural phenomenon?

The entertainment industry engaged in impersonation fraudulently claimed as emulation and satire somehow only fixated with entity standing up to roots of all evil clarifying the negative influence to maintain status quo.

5. Does this mean the entertainment sector infiltrated by elements against positive developments?

Yes. The unsavory factions’ dominance exemplify decadence.

6. Where does the press stand in terms of divulgence?

The press is heavily politicized and patronize enemy of duplicity.

7. Is there an independent and investigative journalism?

The rare existence is increasingly threatened arising from zero tolerance to fair presentation and analysis.

8. Are there pseudonyms to smear authentic expose?

The tradition continues to self-detriment for anything counterproductive is an apparent disaster.

9. What is the impetus for performers in the mind numbing orchestra?

Monetary benefits and publicity are the attractions with little or no concern for unconscionable actions.

10. What is the future for press, media and entertainment under delusional clique?

In doldrums unless creativity and journalistic standards not compromised with unethical and divisive indulgence.

Finally, Intellect and talent best demonstrated in courage and integrity withstanding test of time and tide.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

India – Celebrity Worship And Political Circus

By Padmini Arhant

The celebrity worship in India is unprecedented and to a large extent foments megalomania.

Politics and controlled communication media share a deep bond with entertainment sector in the country.

The political parties are constantly vying with each other in bringing people from film and sports industry (cricket in particular) to represent them.

The commonality is the hunger for power, fame and fortune forming the basis for mutual attraction.

Celebrities are held above law in any issue extending into embezzlements from kickbacks and backdoor deals in government venture.

Those involved in accidents resulting in loss of ordinary citizens life from drunken driving and in other scenario contributing to excess speed limit on the less developed highway are protected from appropriate action.

The two incidents – directly related to Bollywood actors had victims and their families blamed for the untimely deaths and deprived of prompt medical assistance.

In this regard politics turning a blind eye to celebrities faith whether from natural birth or apostasy that is otherwise contentious in all affairs proves the political priority to stardom transcending religion, ethnicity and other background.

The latest one with the incumbent party BJP MP (the member of Parliament) supposedly representing the poor constituency of the economically disadvantaged Uttar Pradesh state riding in Mercedes as the official vehicle for personal trip crashed into oncoming automobile causing the death of a four year old child and leaving other passengers seriously injured in the car.

Besides the factors behind the accident, the preferential treatment provided to the celebrity turned political party representative deserves mentioning in humanitarian context.

The passerby, a doctor had taken the celebrity with minor wound in his car ignoring the remaining victims and the Hippocratic oath to rescue anyone especially the most vulnerable of all in need of emergency care.  

The doctor going to film star’s aid  leaving others behind – the four year old girl and five year old boy suffering massive injury is a failure in professional judgment. 

Accordingly the celebrity received top-notch attention in the best medical facility.

Meanwhile the critically injured passengers i.e. non-celebrities in the other car were abandoned to their fate for half hour in the accident scene.

According to the victims personal and eyewitness accounts they had to ride in an auto rickshaw (the three wheeler scooter) to reach the nearby government hospital. The four year old girl (Sonam) succumbed to her wounds on her mother’s lap on the way to the medical center.

The celebrity was fussed over with comprehensive procedures and the family with life threatening injuries became relevant only after the glaring gross negligence brought to public focus by the grieving father.

The mournful family also expressed their disappointment with the Bollywood actor turned MP not reaching out to them despite the fateful experience with the loss of their child.

To make matter worse, the celebrity accused the father for not having followed the traffic rules holding him responsible for the tragedy.

In this instance, the celebrity as the serving political representative could care less about the civil duty to inquire after the family and other members affected in the traumatic event clarifying human life matters only when the entity is a celebrity.

The apathy to mainstream problems is the underlying feature in the deteriorating human character.

I hope for the speedy recovery of the family hurt in the unfortunate collision with strength to bear the painful moment in life.

On the contrary, the ongoing political storm in New Delhi attributed to the present foreign minister intervention to assist the controversial IPL (Indian Premier League – Cricket Sport) founder dubbed the fugitive to travel within Europe for medical purpose concerning the family is asserted as the humanitarian call and lauded amongst the political class.

The IPL chief confronted with allegations and charges refuting through twitter social media dragging the polity into spotlight.

These developments confirm the so-called world’s largest democracy also renowned for the biggest political circus on earth.

Indian political establishment is the epicenter of corruption and criminality notwithstanding treason evident in explosive scandals across political parties alternating term in office.

The political class and bourgeois subservience to appease the unscrupulous external forces is second to none.

The election is a fraud with extensive bribery of electorate using counterfeit notes and black money from various channels near and far including the underworld and nefarious elements subscription to candidacies for vested interests.

Even the pretentious common man party (AAP) staged as anti-corruption faction encouraged Delhi voters to accept money from the other political parties – BJP, NDA and Congress and cast the vote for AAP. 

Cash for votes is not limited to campaign trail and the tradition carried over in Parliament and state assembly to sway opinion on legislation usually favoring domestic and foreign oligarchy and stifle anti-graft law.

Politics using religion is the trend sowing the seeds of discord – the trait inherited from imperial divide and conquer strategy. The irony is the political members lineage to Islam with ancestry not recollected in selective memory.  

The former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi was married to a muslim Feroz (Gandhi) making the descendents part Muslims in origin. 

The political members i.e. the Prime Minister Narinder Modi and the Patriarch of the ruling party L.K.Advani as well as the former chief minister of the state as chief trustees of temples viz. Somnath (God Shiva) temple in Gujarat recently barred entry to non-Hindus viz. Muslims and Christians citing the entrants to seek permission from the temple administration prior to visit.

The reason for the ordinance is apparently in response to Islam mosques and Christian chapels not allowing visitors from different sect.

Such conduct is reflective of using God as political pawn to impose fundamentalism in society.

Any religion restricting access to people of any other faith or non-believers to the place of worship cannot be true followers of the religion and ownership on God as the sole entity of a specific domain is ignorance prohibiting acceptance.

The prevalent religious dogma is contradictory to major religions claim as monotheist i.e. One God as the universal power.

Monotheism would encompass secularism without reservations upon the religion being established with blessings from God – the Supreme divine power behind creations for constructive evolution.

The isolation of religion premised on orthodox belief and largely political gains highlight indoctrination substituting spirituality.

Condescendence and discrimination widely practiced conforming to foreign authorities influence over politics and other sections in society.

Nature is bestowed with facts and knowledge since the dawn of life on earth leading to the existing information age in digital format.

Regardless the aptitude exemplified in positive attitude accompanied with gratitude delineate the genuinely knowledgeable, the authentic from platitude due to magnitude, fortitude and plenitude defying servitude to uplift the spirit of the multitude at any altitude.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
