thought of sharing an article that i had read some time ago on the communist tabloid "The Hindu" which had carried this article from another communist tabloid "The Guardian" of UK:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1532781,00.html The article is interesting because i think it captures the diabolical minds such as that of karuNAnidhi. As in:
"Nowadays, if someone is vastly more talented than us, we don't congratulate them - we envy them and resent their success. It seems we don't want heroes we can admire, so much as heroes we can identify with.We want to think we could be like them,
and so we make sure to select heroes that are like us. We worship David Beckham because he's fallible. If Achilles were around today, the headlines would all be about his heel." a more hard hitting punch is this. this is about democracy and what it leads to. this captures the state of affairs in India in general and more specifically tamiL nADu:
"We allow halfwits to become celebrities precisely because there is no great gap separating them from us. That consoles us, because it makes us think that we could be famous if we had a bit more luck, or if we tried a bit harder. We can't bear the idea that some people might be better than us, so much better that we could never be like them, no matter how hard we tried. That upsets our democratic ethos, our belief that all people are born equal." the wave of pedestrianism that has descended into the
tamil movies, film music etc. these days only strengthen the contention that it is a society which is going to decay and perish, unless it starts taking pride in the achievements of its forefathers. This is only possible if the diabolical and human hating ideology of dravidianism is defeated. The decay wrought upon tamiLnADu by karuNAnidhi and his ideological father periyar (the founding father of dravidianism) is captured in the following article:
http://www.boloji.com/analysis2/0148.htm In particular, the following:
" The quintessence of rational-racial Dravidianism is that spiritual knowledge is superstitious and secular ignorance is rational; character is superstitious and debauchery is rational; chastity is superstitious and prostitution of mind, body, heart and soul is rational; discipline superstitious and indiscipline is rational; accepted truth is superstitious and blatant untruth is rational, refinement is superstitious and brutality is rational; justice is superstitious and rapacity is rational, counsels of the wise and the good are generally superstitious and the flattery of knaves particularly rational. And finally to crown it all having a legally wedded wife is superstitious and irrational and
having innumerable concubines is logically rational."svasti,
