[Thatha_Patty] One nice analysis - good to read and understand
From mail I received from Mr. Srivatasa Brahma
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,
