Indian Pseudointellectualism

In August 2014, a particular college in Kerala withdrew an item from their students cultural program because the protagonist in the item said "namaste".  Another 150 year old school had its emblem reworked, because it had a lamp in it, which a particular community suddenly felt offensive.  A teacher was suspended for singing a Hindu prayer, though the school regularly prayed christian prayers.

This college or community is not run by the RSS nor do they belong to Hindus.  Yet why did it happen in secular kerala, yet why no fuss?  Yet again, Indian intellectuals were not heard yelping either, why this blink?

This blink is the foundation of what is called Indian Pseudointellectualism and its carriers suffer from Indian Pseudointellectual Blink Syndrome (IPBS).

I am an ardent follower of Hinduism, but I dont go to temples or pray at idols regularly, nor do I permit myself to be restrained by casteism.  Then what kind of Hindu am I?

The Vedas does not prescribe temple worship or idol worship. It says everyone should do pancha maha yagnam.  So when temples and idol worship was not there, there was no room for priests. The majority were agriculturalists who farmed to feed themselves. There was no system of trade or competition. It was a barter system, so there were no vysyas. Everyone bartered. Warfare was not much developed in those times, so the need for a large army or kshathriyas did not exist. There was no wealth accumulation or multiplying system, so there must have not been any shudras to serve the wealthy.

So, the fact that when the vast majority of Indians was largely into farming, and when there was no temple/idol worship, it is illogical to think that priests/brahmins were dominant or controlling, because priests/bramhins did not exist then.

India is still a nation whose economy is dependent on agricultural output.  So obviously, agriculture itself was the mainstay of Hindu economy.  This again validates the argument that vast majority of Hindus were into farming.

The plurality of Hinduism is equally uncomprehendable to western intellectuals and so is to western educated desi intellectuals.  Because the westerns only wanted you to copy and paste, never think.  The plurality is unthinkable.

You need to have some basic knowledge of Sanskrit to know the meaning of chathurvarnyam.  It is about categorization of the inherent taste/quality of a person.  Therefore the mention of danger of mixing of caste, would be like what the job portal Monster.Com ad in TV shows, of a man in cricket jersey doing a washermans job or a danseuse in an airport helping park a plane, or an industrial worker trying a dentists job.

If you are intellectual, what you may do is ponder how history evolved and permitted this to become caste system determined by color of skin or occupation of family. For this, Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma is not to blame.  Would you blame Hinduism for potbelly of Indians, for Indians eating with their hands, open defecation, washing the butts with hand and water rather than using tissue papers, alcoholism, vegetarianism, etc?  How did you become an intellectual without having the capacity to differentiate between a social evil and a religious evil?  You can, if you suffer from IPBS.

Again, these righteous politically correct saints would find America or the Europe as the standard for equality and liberty.

This original postcard from the early 1900's depicts a Black man tied to a whipping post in Delaware. Whipping posts were used for punishment by public humiliation and physical abuse, sometimes lethal. These punishments generally lasted for hours
	The most famous slave ship was named Jesus.  Slaves from Africa were stacked per diagram for maximum space utilization, tied and immobile for weeks.  Dead and weak ones were thrown to the sea before the ship reached the Auction harbor.

 

They would tell you how US and UK are the picture perfect paradise for blacks and Asians.  They would never agree or debate about the abominable gory history of slavery that has its scar on the lives of Negros and red Indians even today.  We are told everything is hunky dory there and that we need to learn from the Americans about how to treat everyone as equals.

We lampoon our historical figures, their writings, speeches, thinking, or actions today.  For those of whom Mahathma Gandhi is the apple in the eyes, you criticize Godse and Savarkar, without attempting to feel the gist of emotions and events that charged the people of those times, what we do is not intellectual.  It is only pseudo intellectual; literary attempts by bored people to get some attention or keep a part time job, copy and paste emotions and ideas.  A case of cheapjacks, too many, out for a party.  The mouthings are often intellectually convenient or else conveniently intellectual that display their pedantries.

For those of whom Mahathma Gandhi is the apple in the eyes, you must know that Mahathma Gandhi is being disrobed for his folly of approaching the British to favour Indians against Negros. Today, Indians are being asked to quit South Africa for his folly.  A new hate song by a Zulu a pop singer is hot debate there.

Why, now a days all attempts are being made to resurrect another Mahathma in India, by demonizing Gandhi, by the very people for whom Gandhi stood for.

Now if you are going to argue that Gandhi may be excused as he could have been carried away by the "gist of emotions and events that charged the people of those times" in Africa, then how come you deny the same excuse for Savarkar and Godse?

Those who still attempt to resurrect Mahathma Gandhis assassination as a tool against the Sangh Parivar are base men who have no passion for history, who have neither studied Mahathma Gandhi or Godse.  Nor are they doing so out of love for Gandhi, nor do they respect democracy or secularism, for the supreme court has very specifically, repeatedly, aired its views on this matter.  How many who blame Godse ever read the letter he had in his hand when he killed Gandhi?

I say base men, because they are not people who have thought about things a bit.  They have been carried away by propaganda of vested interests or are knowingly or unknowingly the foot soldiers of vested interest.  Why? Because we have not seen even a single "intellectual" ever seen raking his/head over what made the brahmin/farmer majority country to become a shudra/vysha majority country that we are today?  As to why it is simply impossible for a bunch of coward brahmins to coerce well built and physically strong dalits or shudras into submission.  To claim that they did so by brain power/manipulation is a blatant accusation that dalits are brainless.  Neither are dalits brainless, nor they the saints of peaceful living to just be coerced by a bunch of bell ringing brahmins.  How have we failed to notice this aspect of things?  ..... IPBS again.

Ghar wapsi is abominable, but Joshua Project and Thessalonica Project are adorable ...  blink blink !!

Ever counted the number of armies that invaded India over the last 1000 and more years?  Ever turned the pages of history books to check what the invading armies did to Indians?  What effects these wars had on the economy and society of ancient agrarian India?

There are no takers for research on this crucial twist, because if you do, you expose the ugly truths on which secularism of Indias today rests.  See symptoms of IPBS there?

So now we say Sati is a Hindu evil, you dont talk what actually forced mass Sati and how it became rampant.  You say Sikh warriors protected Hindu women, you dont talk what actually happened to the Hindu warriors and Hindu men.  You say Shudras were oppressed, you dont talk how the Shudras were ex-Brahmins until a few centuries ago.

Listed next are a few names who were censured by the supreme court, over the years, for making inglorious utterances - EMS Namboothripad, Paloli Muhammad Kutty, VK Singh, Biman Bose, P Shivasankar, VS Achuthananthan, K Pankajakshan, Arundati Roy, MV Jayarajan.  The common denominator is that most of them have the same political orientation.  We must have 1000s of other utterances which the Supreme Court did not bother to snap, but the poison that these loose intellectuals have injected into the minds of their foot soldiers would surely have someway damaged the fabric of our society.

Love Jihad is being publicized as the brain child of Sangh Parivar in Kerala.  The intellectuals never tell you that the christian community in kerala is also equally worried.  We are given a feeling that Love Jihad is a menace that afflicts only Indians.  The intellectuals seems to not know that it is a world wide menace because it is called sex grooming in other parts of the world and affects both Christians and Sikhs communities even in Britain.  The blink again.

Casteism is blamed on the mechanization of the evil Brahmins, fine.  So it means the rest are all equals, are they?  Kshathriyas are as Brahmins for the vysyas, the vysyas are as Brahmins for the shudras.  Shudras are the epitome of pity, sorrow, and sympathy, is it?  Have you heard of the athi-shudras?  So we know the Shudras are not saints either, for they are the Brahmins for athi-shudras.  Now, that is the oops moment for Indias caste-specialist intellectuals, ..a yet another Do-Not-Talk-About-It subject.  Another of IPBS again.

Attempts are being made by many a pseudo-intellectuals (read disillusioned ex-coomies) to picture Vedic life or Vedic religion as something too complex and extra-terrestrial.  Every Hindu home practices a diluted version of the Vedic rituals, oblivious of the original ritual.  In fact, in India, xtians and xlums, have adopted many diluted version of the Vedic life.  You have not heard of Shodasha Samskara, but you follow many of those rituals under a different name and yet you insist that Vedic life has been elusive.

How do Indian Intellectuals manage to distort Indian mythology uniformly?  How come they blink when it comes to crucial facts, ... again uniformly? ..... err IPBS.

 

We have resigned to the notion that the poverty that India is known for is the cake baked by Indians.  We now have not even a faint idea, of the many who invaded Hindustan, who plundered our riches and left.  Today, we know not who they were.  Today, we know not where those riches are.  The nations and palaces that rose from the looted riches have fallen, but Hindustan still stands.  Hindustan, you know now, holds the promise to take over.

Nationalism was in blood of every Indian during the time of the British Raj.  Because the Raj, wore the mask of a civilizing agent, became a threat to the very existence of the most tolerant civilization on the face of the earth.  Nationalism purged the Raj, after which nationalism receded.

Indian pseudo-intellectuals desperately want to be heard.  They have nothing to lose.  Rendered fatherless by winds of time, finding themselves lost and inconsequential after all the brouhaha, in despair like a postmenopausal whore cursing the world around her lamenting of the glorious past, looking towards a hopeless future.  IPs have perched high up the branches of cynicism to sneer upon their own brethren on the ground.  They read English authors whose names are tongue twisters, and quote reams of them.  For them, everything Indian is risible.  They feel righteous if they lampoon India and Indians.  They love to identify themselves with the graduates from the universities of Europe or America, American films, rock bands, black&whites.  They see India today with the same derision that Lord Macaulay viewed Indians during the raj.  Their intelligence is rated by the ability to be verbose and cynical of every thing Indian and in their ability to be linked with someone or something Western.  Cynicism is their best virtue.  They surprisingly have not heard of nihilism either.

Mouthings of typical Indian psudointellectuals in secular India

This is the price the nation, that allowed freedom of speech, has to pay today.  If such cynical, irresponsible Indians are out to destroy the very foundation of the idea of India, then someone has to step in to stop this muck.

Role of Modi in 1984 riots?  Based in New York, Indian Pseudo-intellectuals even eke out a living by planting typos.  These protesters are never seen when Sonia or Rahul Gendi visits US.  Anyone got Rajiv Gendi a visa ban?  No,  Why?

This stems from the thinking of the backward among the intellectuals who take refuge in mocking century old traditions and beliefs to showcase their intellectuality, to compensate their inability to identify and act constructively on contemporary issues for social good.

The leftists of intellectual kerala in the 50s to 70s imposed strict atheism within their fold to keep their brood close knit.  Atheism was best antidote to prevent flock from leaking towards the congress or the Janata Party.  It helped the coomies captivate the imagination of the wayward for whom the orthodoxy that reeked the social and political landscape was an anathema.  They were promised dignity as intellectuals within the atheist brood by enlisting as leftist.

Old generation indian pseudo intellectuals.

These waywards (തോന്യവാസി) had a history of throwing human defecation on devout believers on the way to temples and churches, often disrobing in public to discourage women on their way to temples, throwing glass shards all over temple grounds to disrupt temple festivals, instances of physical violence and desecration of religious sites were norm and unchallenged.  So much for their respect for democracy that are now pages of faded history in the long list of selective dementia suffered by Indian pseudo intellectuals.  Fortunately, globalization has helped new gen of these intellectuals to be computer savvy, proficient in English, have jobs in MNCs, and even have jobs in Devaswom boards that run temples of Kerala for the Government. 

If you look at world nations, even a dimwit can find that ancient India has contributed substantially to science, be it physics, maths, chemistry, or astronomy.  Those contributions were made when India was very religious.  What is paramount is the need for a society that gives liberty to its people.

It is foolish to harp that just because a person follows a particular religious ritual/belief he is unscientific.  It is more because of the senseless obsession against religions of yester years, whereas there are far more serious issues to tackle in our daily lives today ... for example pollution, of animal abuse, adulteration.

Chilly placed in the eye of cows transported to Kerala from Tamilnadu to keep it awake, so that it does not take much space on the truck if it falls asleep.

 How many of these critics use mass transport to do their bit to reduce air pollution or buy/use a car based on its mileage?  What have we done about adulteration in our daily food that is now virtually toxic?

Colour of Periyar Changed due to Industrial effluents

Dead fish in Kerala waters due to river pollution from pesticides

 

These are things we can very well control or prevent if we act.  We do these desktop criticism of things that are beyond our immediate concern to satiate our insincere concern for society, to be apologetically counted among the educated and intellectual.  I call it pseudointellectual social masturbation.  or IPBS?

Vedas, the gospel of Hindus, advocates monotheism.  It is against Idol worship.  Vedas says god has no form or a single name.  It is all pervading.  The concept of many gods came after puranas and ithihasas tried to explain lessons of Vedas through stories and made protagonists in the story as Devi and Devatas, though in principle it says, they all represent the one supreme being.  That if Vedas was of Brahmin ownership, Veda Vyasa, the compiler of the Holy Vedas was neither a brahmin or a kshathriya.  How come Indian pseudointellectuals are always universally ignorant of this fact when they ridicule the "many gods" of India?  ... IPBS at work?

Human thinking is said to be controlled by three types of attitudes

(1) Manushya guna.

(2) Rakshasa guna.

(3) Deva guna.

So if you take a person in total as 100, then he would have 100/3=33.333333*  facets.

Now in vernacular language, the corner is called kodi (കോടി ).  When you get facial paralysis and jaw goes to the side, it is said mukham kodi.  The house have its corners as kodi, the nation has its corner again dhanushkodi.

It is this again that comes as the corner/side of 33, the decimals that goes to infinity.  This 33 and kodi got corrupted or misunderstood as 33 crore gods.

Yet, we have all seen 1000s of posts by "Indian intellectuals" making a caricature of Indian Gods with elephant head, demon king with 10 heads, God and his 16,000 wives, and a lot more.  Another example of the mysterious and universal IPBS.

Every one looks towards the future, and so do those with IPBS.  Now they have their universal inability to see history in the right perspective, inability to contribute to contemporary social issues, inability to hold promise for the future due to their growing irrelevance and loss of platforms that granted political patronage.  Pseudointellectuals have thrived the last couple of decades at the cost of mainstream society that has chugged across many centuries.  Pseudointellectuals have nothing to call theirs and so nothing to lose.

Intellectual babus in the 50s used to be the nightmare of big and small businesses as they could find loopholes in the company laws and stir strikes and shut downs, these businesses buckled and locked out one by one, public sector companies ran to huge losses and so the babus moved on to bleed the private sector.  Pseudointellectuals have brought down anything that stood tall, they have never built up anything.  The knack of fault finding, cynicism while being on the right side of political correctness is what keeps IPs busy.  Political cowards who love to watch the show from the gallery of political correctness would lap up any stunt upon the trapeze.  Their loud applause, in the tent, is their social activity and the rapturous crowd the recognition of their political stance.

The chips are down nationally for the pseudointellectuals and so the babus have been replaced by lonewolves, who operate from their homes with laptops and ipads.  They are on the lookout for newer topics to lampoon.  The more they lampoon, the more righteous they think they are and/or have become.  It does not matter if they are making a mountain out of trivia or how base the stand is.  It is just a mundane chore.

Today, there are no industrial behemoths to close down anymore.  Smart corporates and career focused youth are far astute than the babus.  Dreams of revolutions have collapsed, political fortunes and patronage have dwindled.  Worse, the hitherto fringe right wing have over run the nation, have begun to answer back, earned dumbfounding acceptance democratically.

Lonewolves would do their job on the sly, who could get the job done and would leave enough room for pseudointellectuals to wriggle out and never be unmasked.  A strategy used by the worlds top terror outfit ISIS.

Mehdi Masroor Biswas, was for bangloreans a harmless, law abiding chum all along until a British tabloid exposed him.

Intelligence officials say..."It's a new trend of educated youth that is not fully committed to go out and fight but yet wants to do something that it thinks is a just cause. It may not be a direct threat but has the dangerous potential to radicalise new generation in hordes," said a senior officer in a security agency. Bengaluru police commissioner M N Reddi said: "After the interrogation for the past few hours, as of now, we don't see his involvement in any kind of terrorist activities within the country…As of now, he has never recruited anybody nor did he facilitate any such activity within India. He has never traveled outside India. He has been only in the virtual world."

Indian Pseudointellectuals have employed it with much finesse far early that even the ISIS in India, the latest being another cheapjack gimmick called the "Kiss of Love" knowing very well that sex sells 24x365 and that there cannot a better platform to rope in "new generation in hoards."  The top rung of most intellectualist organizations belong to the worn-out Sholay era oldies who have been hooked to their inhalers and insulin pumps for sometime now.  So lone wovles know there is soon a huge vacuum to fill and their one night of fame is within reach.  The trick lies in being an early bird, being media sweet, and to be on the right side of political correctness at that specific point in time

Great ancient nations Greece, Egypt, Rome have collapsed after it abandoned its rich cultural history.  Britain and America are facing a financial meltdown with the Britishers not having enough oomph to even fund the quees palace and American debt stands at $19 trillion.  China and Japan have fought all odd and moved ahead because they never detached themselves from their history and culture.  India has not collapsed because she held on to her traditions inspite of the good efforts by pseudointellectuals who plumbed the depths of depravity to portray India in poor light across every opportunity time had offered.

So not surprisingly, cultural nationalism is fast infecting the blood of every Indian, because secularists, wearing the mask of religious equality, and pseudo-intellectualism is threatening the very existence of the most tolerant and peaceful religion and nation on the face of the earth.
