Rise and fall of Dr.Sashi Tharoor

I have heard about him earlier as an Indian origin English writer.All that Indian in him possibly was that his parents were Indian.He has spent almost three decades of his career outside India with practically nothing to do with India.
India is such a complex country with different languages,cultures,faiths and so much differences but still with some sort of bond that unites every one in spite of all differences.A person born and brought up in India will naturally find it difficult to understand the diversities and complexities of India.Then how can Dr.Tharoor who lived all of his career life outside India,can understand India?
Possibly due to better personal connections or rapport with people who matter at the top echelons of Congress party he got a seat to contest parliament elections from capital of Kerala,Trivandrum after failing in his attempt to become UN Secretary General.
People in general have so much hatred for politicians of all hue and cry.Naturally Dr.Tharoor who looked new and clean in the political spectrum got elected from Trivandrum as member of Parliament not withstanding propaganda that he does not even know Malayalam the language of Kerala properly,which is true.
With the right connections at Delhi,he could become a Minister at Central government that too with a portfolio which allowed him to do what he was so familiar doing  in all those years in U.N-globe trotting.He was enjoying it thoroughly without bothering much about what he can do for the people of Kerala,whom he might have simply forgotten having became a Member of Parliament in spite of all odds against him.
About a month back I met him in a function conducted by Kerala Management Association.What I could notice is that he talked well in English and he talked fast without bothering much about what all he was talking possibly correcting mistakes with a smile.An Indian politician need to learn to talk carefully weighing each words properly before uttering it.But Dr.Tharoor did not bother about it.Naturally it landed him in many controversies.Luckily he could escape all those through Dr.Manmohan Singh who described comments of Dr.Tharoor as mere jokes.
But when it came to dangling with cash rich IPL cricket ,I could not help suspecting why a so called close friend of Dr.Tharoor has to be there in the deal.So far nobody has explained about the great work she did for IPL Kochi.And why she alone could do such a work which called for free “sweat equity”?
Naturally we poor people at the bottom level without any hope of any political dream wonder what Dr.Tharoor did for IPL,Kochi with the help of his “close friend”
And in the one year of his minister ship at Delhi what did Dr.Tharoor do differently compared to all those not so intelligent educated,capable ministers?
So there cannot be anyone shedding a tear for this fall of Dr.Tharoor from among the ordinary people of Kerala

Outcast actors and under privileged in Malayalam film industry

I have only heard about days when lower caste people will have to bow before upper caste land lords and  work hard for the pittance the land lord may give.Land lord will enjoy life like anything and all the toil and hardship are destined to be  the right of lower caste people.

Today there is actually no lower castes.Every one get equal opportunity to come up in life and the so called lower caste people get preferential treatment in admission to educational institutions and for jobs simply because their forefathers have struggled in their life.In fact upper caste people are the present day down trodden.

But look at Malayalam film industry.Capability has no place there.So called super stars even after crossing age of 60 continue to act as lovers to many teenage girls,crush every able bodied strong men with their difficult to move body movements and decide who should act in films.So whoever want to be in business should be willing to bow before them and  do anything and everything to please them.

They can get position of Lieutenant Colonel in Indian Army possibly through a a phone call.Padmasree  title is given based on  recommendations of political leadership.So there is no wonder they got it.A phone call to a political leader can give them Doctorate from Kerala Universities whatever may be their eligibility for it.In short they have made all these honors and titles meaningless by amassing them as they liked and they laugh at ordinary citizens of this country with  utter contempt.

An actor of the caliber of Thilakan does not need their certificate.But still they want him to bow before them.He was courageous enough to refuse to bow before Film world gods like them.So he is not only out of Malayalam films for ever,but also from a Hollywood film which they could never ever dream of considering their pathetic capabilities.They buy unemployed youth to  sing hosanna to them when their ever repeated one story films start screening,in the name of fans association.

I have decided not to see films acted by these  crooks pretending to be anything and everything.I hope the ever intelligent malayalee will eventually show them the place they really deserve instead of all these purchased doctorates,Padmasree etc-the dustbin of history.

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?
