British, Baniaya, Bano Biwi, Beef Beer Politics of Bharath.
Yesterday 9/30/2015 I was listening to an India times Debate
what I call BOW BOW debate. Where like a
bunch of fighting dogs various political spokes persons try to
outshout their opponents while
the Moderator the fearless –Arnab Goswami-- keeps repeating
simple questions which try to
make black and white out of a grey
situation.
The debate was about the
crowd lynching of a Muslim in UP on the alleged crime of eating beef.
At the end of the
debate the Moderator
asks a simple thing
can we all say
‘No more Beef politics ?”
Except for one person, everyone else refused to say that statement.
They were trying to twist and turn to accommodate their
party ideology to the circumstances with a view to the election box.
Today I also heard comment made by my son “what are you
doing in Medicine? You should go and teach History in a college. This comment
was made after I was trying to explain about Armenian Christians and
the genocide of Armenians by Turks
.Which in turn was an a occasion to discuss
Armenia because we were going
to Montreal in Canada
to attend my cousin Raffi Narayan
son of Anoush Narayan(an Armenian Christian) and
Natesa Laxmi Narayanan (A south Indian Brahmin (Tamil Iyer)
The I thought I
should write a book about the politics of India
British, Baniaya, Bano Biwi, Beef Beer Politics of Bharath
was an inspired title.
There can be many more things put in to the mix like
Aryan/Dravidian/
Brahmin/dalith majority/minority
Mandal/anti reservation
Etc etc
I hope I succeed.
