An amendment to the Constitutional rights of India - ‘Right to blasphemy’. Pondering what??? Of course I m sarcastic here!! I recently had a stroll down the street of my local market. In my way I was intervened by some profane language seemed somebody was scolding someone in front of a microphone amplifying his voice. There was a considerable crowd, vehicular movements was obstructed. As usual it was a party pubic address.
It’s the ever famous Dravida kazahagam this time. The victim was lord Ram sadly. Rama, Valmiki, Sita, laxman all the epical names were revived for all wrong reasons. Sita’s chastity was questioned. Just for a moment I thought there was an amendment to the Indian Constitutional rights in the name of ‘Right to blasphemy’.
It was evident from his speech tat he had clearly went only through the page numbers of ramayana and nothing else. Being in a democratic country whose name (Hindustan) is supposed to have derived from its people, don’t we expect the religious sentiments of the people to be respected. I spent some 20mins time to observe what they were up to. But at the end felt I was standing amidst a bunch of ruffians who were assuming them Russians.
“Oh dear atheist elders, so pity of u, communism is different. They have principles and atheism is one among them. It has a different meaning altogether. Show me ur party’s principle, policy and ur recent role in the Tamilnadu politics other than to sing the tunes of MK at the top your voices “.
They claim themselves the follower of E.V.R who found almighty in his pure-heart helping ways and for whom i would reckon atheism is not at all a bad principle. Though he was denouncing the Hindu gods, he was actively involved in eroding the caste system, superstitious beliefs among people thro non violent ways and fought his way for women liberation, education for poor and much more. After his demise the party broke up and gave birth to a many Dravidian parties viz DMK, AIADMK..,But then DK is yet to find its plot in the Tamilnadu politics after EVR.
There was a huge flock of ppl congregated and were properly instructed to clap hands for every 4mins for just a mouthful of dinner may be. Police bandobust was also provided for this crap. My literates, where are we heading to?
