Film Pazhassi Raja and related thoughts

Whatever may be merits or defects of the film,it brought to my mind an old fashioned idea which people living in our country are quite unfamiliar with.Love and loyalty to one’s country.You can see characters after characters simply facing death valiantly not out of compulsion but being proud enough to sacrifice life for the sake of country.

Who will be willing to die like that in these  days? Even those who join military do so attracted by rewards of the job and war which is practically not there unlike in olden days of rule of rajas when you are forced to fight for the country and almost sure of getting killed in war which was very common those days.

In fact looting the country has become almost a heroic act as we do not bother to put them behind bars or kill them for their evil acts.Instead we look upon the likes of Pinaray Vijayan and Karunakaran with envy and adoration having looted country as they liked and still being rulers or decision makers of this country.

Look at the VIP treatment being given to Madani and Soofiya Madani.In spite of having evidences about their treacherous acts against the country which resulted in death for several innocent people,they are being given VIP status and all evidences are either destroyed or hidden under the carpet.Naturally courts of country which believes in punishing guilty only after giving all advantages of doubt,free them from all cases as their paid followers act as prosecutors.

I only wonder what would have Pazhassi Raja and all those patriotic men who died for the country will do  if they are allowed to come to our world even for a day.

Who is bothered about patriotism?

Make as  much money as possible without bothering about means of achieving riches and enjoy life with all glory and honour.Poor common man can only bow in obedience to all powerful VIP crooks.

Politicians earning contempt of people

I remember feeling disgusted about the way K.Karunakaran had ruled the state of Kerala with scant regard for people of Kerala considering himself to be like an autocrat having powers to kill and do anything to anybody without anyone to raise voice against him.At that time writer Sukumar Azhikkode used to criticise Karunakaran and his arrogant ways and thus he earned entry into good books of left parties by being always critical of Karunakaran and his family members and cronies.In fact Karunakran by his arrogant ways of ruling this tiny state has earned more sympathisers to Left movement in Kerala and left parties I think are ever grateful to Karunakaran for that.
Son of Karunakran Murali is not far behind him.He has gone one step ahead of Karunakran.He lavishly abused all those who were against him in Congress party and visual media has transmitted these verbal abuses to living rooms of all houses in Kerala.Thus without even ruling Kerala like his father he earned a place of hatred in the minds of all Keralites.His sister Padmaja is not far behind in arrogance and treating others as her slaves with the least respect for others living in this state.Together they have a heavy deposit of hatred in the minds of Keralites.
When Karunakaran and Murali left Congress,I was hoping against hope that Congress party in Kerala will look like a decent political party.But some one in Congress did not like the party to have a respectful position in the minds of people of Kerala especially when Communist party has acquired a person capable of creating hatred to anyone heard of him-Pinaray Vijayan.His arrogant utterances earned him a hatred status similar to Karunakaran and Murali and made CPIM a party to run away from.
Some one interested in tarnishing and damaging Congress party in Kerala,allowed Karunakran entry back to Congress.Being 92 year old,he finds it difficult to create hatred wave similar to earlier days and to fill up that gap he wants desperately Murali to come back to Congress so that CPIM can get back their earlier status in society as Murali is sure to malign Congress party to the maximum extent possible.
Recently when I heard Karunakaran in critical stages I thought all those he managed to get killed including Engineering student in 70s Rajan can hope to shake hand with him in the other world.But even death is afraid of him.

Political values,given silent burial

For long long years I used to believe that leftists are different from political parties like Congress and BJP who give only lip service to values and principles.Like me many non political persons who has no hardened attachment to any political parties used to give an allowance to left parties thinking that they are different  and have some values to uphold.

But look at what happened in the recent past.

They were supporting Congress rule at centre saying that they are doing so to prevent” communal forces coming into power”.I wonder what is so much communal about BJP and like minded parties?

When the Babri Masjid was demolished in presence of BJP leaders like Advani and Murali Manohar Joshy,BJP was not in power at centre.Congress Prime Minister Narasimha Rao who was famous for solving problems by not doing anything about problems simply kept quiet thinking that demolition of Babri Masjid will solve that problem of Masjid mandir for ever.

In a way he was right.For years after that that issue is being pushed into forgotten issues and BJP only make some noise about it only when elections are announced and naturally after elections even if they win,the issue is forgotten.Even during years of central rule by BJP headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee,BJP did nothing about construction of Mandir at Ram janma bhoomi.

BJP during its rule has not done anything communal.Then why these leftists and others try to “protect us from communal forces even at the cost of supporting bourgeoisie imperialistic party like Congress”

Most probably leftists reason to support Congress in power must be something else beneficial to them rather than their anxiety to protect we poor people of the country from”communal forces”

And why they have withdrawn support to Congress rule?The real reason to withdraw support,they will never tell all of us who are supposed to be the master they try hard to serve.Probably they must have discussed the real reason in the closed door polit buro meetings.

They were saying that India will become a colony of USA just like in the earlier days we were a colony of British empire if India signs nuclear deal.Nuclear deal is simply a commercial deal to buy raw materials from wherever it is available in the world for trouble free running of our atomic power plants is something which leftists never wanted common man in this country to know or understand.

After the nuclear deal is signed so many days,months and years have gone and now they seem to have forgotten about the matter and we are unfortunately not able to see Americans ruling us even after signing of nuclear deal as predicted by them.

When the Kerala state secretary of CPIM was caught in multi crore looting in SNC Lavlin case,these “value based'” politicians thought  better to defend him without any shame as they have divided loot between them.Funniest part of the story is that after electoral defeat they sit again in their Polit buro meeting to expel only man courageous enough to question looting by party secretary so that they will have peace and happiness whenever they meet again in the Polit buro tamasha.

And then comes Polit buro and central committee meetings to “correct mistakes”.How can they correct mistakes without throwing away Pinaray and Karat who symbolises all mistakes?Instead they will probably catch local committee secretaries taking small bribes for their living or extra income to enjoy life better.They will probably talk very bad about peons in offices who take Rs.50/- or Rs.100/- bribes as anti social elements.

Now Kannur by election comes and we hear stories or happenings which were never even imagined possible.To win election,this value based party is bringing people of their choice from outside constituency and illegally include their names in voters list with the help of hand picked yes men working in govt machinery including district collector.Houses locked and dilapidated have suddenly occupants  as per new voters list.Without even owner of house knowing people seems to be staying in their buildings!

Do these crooks think that they can go on cheating people of Kerala with lies and pretensions?

Kerala life turning out highly insecure

Communists ruling Kerala is throwing away all sense of security feeling for poor ordinary people living in this beautiful state of India.


Unquestioned leader of the party,Pinaray Vijayan who acts and talk like a dictator with scant regard for the people or law of land sends out nothing but fear in the minds of hapless people of Kerala whenever he opens his mouth.His close aides like three Jayarajans also talk like him .None of them are least bothered about laws of the land or minimum decency expected from the people in public life.

Pinaray and his team accused of looting 374 crores in one single deal which alone has come out in the open has done everything possible to defeat prosecution and is still confident of getting out triumphant laughing at all those who tried to make him face prosecution for the blatant looting.

Even the Chief Justice of India has commented adversely on the draconian rule purposely put in place in Indian penal code by unscrupulous politicians preventing prosecution of rulers of the country practically without their consent.

Look at what has happened in SNC Lavlin looting case.

Only after 16 long years due to continuous fighting by a non politician like T.P.Nandakumar,allegation of corruption was investigated by CBI under close supervision by high court of Kerala.

If a case has to be registered against Pinaray Vijayan people he appointed as ministers and who remain as ministers only as long as he pleases have to give consent for prosecution.

Naturally they refused action against Pinaray

Then Governor of Kerala who happened to be in the opposite political camp rejected reccommendation of ministry of Kerala to let Pinaray Vijayan go scot free whatever may be the extent of looting or evidences against him obtained by CBI through years of investigation.

With all official documents supposed to be confidential ,Pinaray Vijayan who happens to be an out of constitutional person approached Supreme Court of country with highest paid lawyer for him and another equally high profile lawyer to support him in the name of State Of Kerala to protect and save him from prosecution.

If all these are not sufficient for an ordinary citizen like me to loose faith in the system of governance of the country look at what happened to a very rich highly influential youth from Muthoot family.

He was killed brutually on the way side at midnight

Police simply tried to charge some one totally unrelated for the murder.

A film actress known to everyone present in the vehicle at the time of murder not even questioned by police.

Lots of cash present in the vehicle disappeared.Police did not bother to enquire into this.

People who are likely to be murderers were allowed to escape and finally caught as per a game plan to be let out only as witness.
Police making knife through a blacksmith to prove that alleged accussed are behind the murder.Post martom report was tampered using the influence and muscle power of ruling party.

Family of killed Paul.M.George keep quiet inspite of all these due to reasons known only to them and probably due to pressure from the powerful minister of internal security who happens to be a close confident of Pinaray Vijayan

With all these going on can an ordinary person living in this state without support of Pinaray and company feel secure?

Honesty and principles have they disappeared from our public life?

After hearing and reading news in media these days I simply wonder at times whether honesty and principles have become something to be practiced by fools in our state of Kerala. Respected principled leaders of left parties continuously tell without any hesitation simple lies to protect their greatest leader Pinaray Vijayan
Whatever may be the accusations against him, CBI enquiry should be prevented at any cost. It is only an attempt to destroy left movement instigated by America. For preventing that expert lawyers from Delhi can be brought using tax payer’s money. Advocate General has to give advice against prosecution of Pinaray Vijayan. Ministry cannot and should not give sanction to prosecute our beloved leader. If Governor act against this crude attempts to protect greatest looter of state of Kerala then he has to be condemned. If Chief Minister did not tell lies like other ministers in support of Pinaray Vijayan then he should be expelled from this great party
Earlier at least I had a faint thinking that unlike K.Karunakaran, R.Balakrishna Pillai, T.M Jacob etc these left leaders had some principles. But this lavlin issue has shown how unashamedly they are protecting a looter and trying desperately to prevent any investigation on the deal only because of the fact that they know very well that their beloved leader is a crook and looter of public money. It is high time they changed name of their party as Looters Party of India. Probably they can keep that Marxist Leninist brackets. They use these names to justify their wrong doings lootings and continuous chorus repeating of utter falsehood thinking that common man will believe these falsehoods as truth.

Withering away of Communism

Communism and socialism were political ideologies promising equal status, opportunities and equal distribution of wealth of the country. In a society with several inequalities mostly in the name of religion, caste and protective arrangements, laws and traditional values for privileged few in the society, these equality theories and political thoughts have attracted several young people over the years. Some of them felt so strong about these utopian ideologies that they were even willing to sacrifice their own lives in the hope that future generations will have a just equitable society
Basically human beings are selfish and they have a highly possessive attitude for everything, be it property, family, relatives, extended family and people of same caste, village or same religion. This possessive nature of human being has helped people to work hard to amass wealth so that his or her next generation will live in prosperity. Communism tried to work against these basic human instincts of private property, possessiveness and has failed all over the world. Today even erstwhile Russia and China have embraced capitalism which promotes free enterprise and persuade any one to work hard for him, his family and his people. Capitalism being something natural to human nature, it is quite natural that it has become universally accepted economic system of life
Democracy and right of people to choose and reject those who rule them as their representatives have set in motion social justice actions from democratically elected rulers of the country. These social justice actions have resulted in reducing social inequities and have also speeded up social welfare measures for the downtrodden and less privileged sections of society. This again reduced significance of movements like communism and socialism
Leaders of so called communist movements have over a period of time become selfish opportunists trying to amass wealth for them through legal or illegal means. Democratic elections have given them political power in countries like India. First Communist ministry in Kerala and few successive communist governments headed by people like E.M.Sankaran Namboothiripad, C.Achutha Menon, and E.K.Nayanar have tried to bring social justice through legal reforms. Basically these leaders were selfless people who cannot be corrupted by lure of money. But when Pinaray Vijayan became the leader of Communist party in Kerala, all pretentions of idealism is thrown to winds. Looting money through SNC Lavlin or similar deals which may not have come to the light of the public has become the right thing to do. Threatening people of the state through media and talking in arrogant manner has also become right thing to do.
Funniest part of the story is that even after electoral defeat in the recent Parliament elections, the committee members of Communist party have found that the only credible and honest leader of the party, Chief Minister Achuthanandan is the main reason for electoral defeat of the party! People like Jayarajan who looks and talks like a thevar of Tamil Nadu, a minister who consider using abusive language in media as a routine affair are all supposed to be loved ones of the people of Kerala. If this is the way the ruling party assess the mood of the people of Kerala, the day is not too far when the communist party become only a party of few people comprising secretary and committee members only

Elite citizens protected from laws of land

If you happen to become a minister in any of Indian state governments or central government or even if you are a government employee, during your period of employment or period of being minister you can do any illegal activity. You will never be prosecuted for your crimes.

Our law makers have made such laws that if ex ministers and govt officials do not voluntarily agree to be charge sheeted and proceeded against, nobody can do anything against them whatever may be their crime as they can easily influence ministry in power not to give special sanction to law enforcement agency to proceed against them.Ordinary citizens like you and me can be proceeded against without any specic sanction from Governer of the state or ministry in power

Look at the now infamous Pinaray Vijayan case. Present advocate general has appeared for him to oppose CBI enquiry against SNC lavlin looting case. Somehow court did not show kindness to agree to his escape efforts. After the CBI enquiry, same man was asked to give his opinion whether CBI should proceed against culprits including his present and previous boss. Naturally he did not feel it necessary to proceed against culprits in the case who were govt servants and minister while committing the crime. Now government of Pinaray Vijayan cannot think differently and the case is being dumped due to the silly reason that there are two laws in this country for ordinary citizens and these elite officials and ministers. While being ministers or officials they can do any crime or looting and unless they agree to be proceeded against, law cannot do anything against them

I wonder why UDF leaders who call Harthal only for torturing common man did not think of changing this ridiculous law while being in power at centre for so many years. Why these looters get this ridiculous benefit of sanction from them to proceed against them legally? Why common man in this so called democratic country do not rise to revolt against this unjustifiable discriminatory rule which protects ministers and govt employees for doing any looting or crime?

Law will never catch our politicians

Advocate General of the state of Kerala is a political appointee for the period of the ruling government. He is normally an experienced senior advocate chosen for the post considering his knowledge, experience, loyalty and attachment to the ruling party. His job is mainly to advise government on legal matters and act as head of an army of lawyers to represent govt in court cases. Hence it was not surprising when he delayed legal advice on SNC Lavlin case for more than three months so that Election will be over. After the voting for Election in the state, he again took about one month to give his advice as expected. Nobody can expect him to advice to proceed against his party boss, Pinaray Vijayan whatever he might have done by exercising his legitimate right to loot the country during his period as minister of the state.

Several earlier ministers like K. Karunakaran, R.Balakrishna Pillai, and T.M.Jacob have all escaped being caught and punished for corruption while being in office. If not for doing corruption and amassing wealth why these capable persons come to politics instead of taking up much difficult jobs in their earnest effort to becoming extremely rich

Look at what happened in SNC Lavlin case. It is not Pinaray Vijayan who found SNC Lavlin Company based at Canada to do renovation work for old Electrical power generation houses. It is another minister in opposing camp of UDF who brought SNC Lavlin to Kerala. But the poor fellow lost power by the time he could do anything to make money by playing with SNC Lavlin. So naturally Pinaray Vijayan used the golden opportunity gifted to him by the opposition camp.Trichy based public sector Bharath Heavy Electricals Limited has offered to do the renovation works for those old power generation houses at a meager Rs.100 crores.CPM party committee headed by dead and gone E.Balanandan has recommended to accept offer of BHEL.Then SNC Lavlin has given a counter offer of Rs.347 crores for the same work. Naturally the work has to go to SNC Lavlin as BHEL cannot give any kickbacks being an Indian public sector company. Now I can predict one thing quite confidently even though I am not an astrologer. Pinaray Vijayan will happily have the last laugh just like our old Rajiv Gandhi laughed away Bofors bribe case and even his Italian benami Mr.Quttrochy is now freed by CBI as an innocent.

When you are a politician you can only be an innocent whatever you may do. Opposing CPM ruled state of Kerala when Kunjalikutty of Muslim League was caught in a sex scandal. In spite of their public outcry against each other politicians see to it that people belonging to their tribe ruling or opposition never get caught in any cases of looting or other scandals. So they can do all these laughing loudly with the firm belief that in spite of verbal opposition and outcry to mislead general public, they will help each other to ensure that the holy politicians never get caught for any wrong doing. May be that is why all big criminals try to enter politics to continue their criminal deeds with impunity
