Sayippine Kandappol ... Hindu Aikyam and Kerala Elections
All the commotion in Kerala about the so called 'Visala Hindu Aikyam'is over. The elections, which will decide as to who runs the state anduses its resources for another five years, are announced. And there issilence. The leaders who made roaring statements are not to be seen.The 'Nair Mahasammelanam' had trumpeted that 'we are to decide whowill run the state' but those who said this are in hiding. The samecircus with the same faces are out in the streets. It is like theMalayalam saying 'Sayippine Kandappol Kavathu Marannu'. Once again thesame story will repeat. A state held to ransom by the so called minority communities, who by virtue of their being weak have constitutional rights, shall be dictating terms for another fiveyears. Whatever the front, for both the fronts in Kerala are running on minority money.
The first instalment of money is paid, to write hoardings on compoundwalls of houses, the going rates in Thiruvananthapuram are Rs. 10000/for the paint and writing. Many of then make a killing. Huge amountsof money shall flow in from various sources, mainly the minoritycoffers, who really have their minting machines. The candidatures wereon sale, those with money to spend are the sought after ones. If theycan also spend for others, party funds, all the more sweeter. And soonthey will start siphoning the money back, from public funds that cometo their power after they are elected. What is called in sweet words,'corruption'. Democratic polity is the name but it is caste andcommunity that drives the game. It is a silent consensus of deceit.the majority has lost hopes in the post-colonial polity.Now what are the options before the marginalised and suffering Hindu community.
There are various allegations and counter allegations aboutthe Hindu forces. That some are trapped in black mailing, that there are unknown strings pulling from various places. The mainstream political pary with Hindu leanings are far too weak to be seen alive. Inner feuds always keep them at a safe distance from power. There is no viable alternative. Now what can the Hindus do, the native idiom, the native culture, cannot allow itself to be driven to the walls. Made inconsequential. That would damage the state as well. If it is not damaged already. One look at the natural survival systems of Kerala show the results, the dying rivers, balding encroached forests, decaying lakes. Armies of the Hindu unemployed and poor, with only islands of the minority rich remaining.The state has become a hell-hole of suicide prone Hindus, they call it God's Own. The grave issues facing the state are cleverly side lined by theChristian controlled media, they play lullabies and the pious Hindusgo to sleep. Then are remote controlled in to debates that they want them to sheepishly follow. It is a kind of hypnosis, now decades old.The most affected eventually kill themselves, atlast seeing no lightat the end of the tunnel.
To talk about reality is communal, Hindus organising is communal, for the moneyed and well cemented Christiansand Muslims to join in battle is secularism. That is what the Malayali is made to believe.
It is a long story, where the 'coolie padas' of Hindus themselves, as politicians, media men and beurocrats make thejob easier. They know that it pays, have cultivated a double face, areenjoying the rewards.The option before the Hindus in Kerala are these. To vote only the Hindus, or not to vote at all. No votes for minority candidates. That after selecting who is a competent and true Hindu. Going beyond party affiliations, seeing the chances of winning. Where there are noneto vote for just make the votes ineffective. If one is with apolitical party, no harm, go with the dramas, street plays, go forpolling, but never vote a non-Hindu. Make this a campaign, pass onthis message by whisper campaigns. If possible by hoardings and billboards, the slogan has to be ' Hindus Vote Only Hindus. True,Competent Hindus. Or Do Not Vote At All'. Without such pro-active steps they will continue to be enslaved. This world is for the daringsouls, not for those who keep complaining and weeping.
Please circulate to all Kerala Hindus...

Union Budget and Bush Fire
For the London School of Economics it was a moment of pride. P Chidambaram, Finance Minister of India was patted on the back by Dr. Man Mohan Singh, the Prime Minister, both from the London School. Union budget for India was being presented in the Indian Parliament. Chidambaram talked at length about an India glittering. The real Indians were curious, many confused whether there was another India. Under the watchful eyes of the Italian daughter in law of the Nehru family, who cleverly uses the Gandhi surname, the London School boys were doing well. No doubt they deserved a medal from there, Dr. Singh is famous for his obsession with the London School days, as exposed in a leaked biodata he wrote for Madame while applying for the post of Prime Minister.
That the day the budget was presented there was another news story, of large number of tribals killed by the Naxalites. It is the other India that the London School boys do not know about. That was not in the syllabus there. What is included is ways and means to manage the colony. Started for the western imperial motives, economics itself a tool for imperialism, it is difficult to tell the old London School alumni how the world is a different place. Trapped in the statistics of development and indices Chidambaram is a happy man as his paper records of the country show a glorious India. The media personnel, paid by the major business tycoons, faithfully serve their masters. Here Chidambaram showed some generosity. His Khadi mask hides many things, the globe trotter hero has never seen the plight of the Indian villages. Or he cannot care less, the new brown sahib Macaulay talked about long back.
Now where is India heading for, how far is India self sufficient, how much vulnerable Indian sovereignty is, how far we have drifted from the Gandhian ideals. Is it becoming a satellite of the western imperial interests, who can be swayed by the masters of neo-colonisation. These are debates that the London School boys do not understand, how can fish be aware of water. In a country flush with loans no one knows how much money is taken as debts by the various government agencies, departments, NGOs and undertakings. How much India owes the western agencies, what reminds one about the East India company long back. Now when the US President George Bush is visiting India these are becoming important isues for the people. Bush, like the villains of comic strips, has made his demands before reaching India. The naughty looks and loveable gaits of this gentleman hides sharp teeth behind. What has seen Iraq bleeding, perhaps soon will see Iran follow that.
It was only few days back that the French President Jacques Chirac visited India. A mature country and a mature leader. But with Bush the cacaophony generated shows up another face. That the American continent once belonged to the native races, who were wiped out and the present people claimed all rights, is part of history. That this, like Andamans in India, was a place where the criminals from Britian and Europe were once sent on exile is forgotten now. Great Britian is itself bowing before the old deviants. The policies of the United States show up this trait, no wonder Bush is their hero. How Bush before his arrival has made demands from India. Not for a moment thinking that this is an ancient civilization, where he has to walk the soils with humility. That for the sages of India, who transcend time and space, this man is not more than a mosquito.
Enslaved people running a great land, who do not know what India is, are thus giving a red carpet welcome to this man. That he is coming to Hyderabad as a top destination, now ruled by a converted Christian Chief Minister, is a message. There are others, like his statement that India is a friend and Pakistan an ally. He loves the friend no doubt but when it comes to a serious conflict he is bound by the ally is the inner meaning. It is another attempt to put the Hindu India against the Muslim Pakistan, naive Hindus and Muslims get fooled easily. What has been a strategy of the Christian west through out history. That the leftists who give support to the Sonia dyansty become laughing stock in all these matters is a matter of concern. They have no concrete agenda to pursue, had their revolutionary hero in Calcutta given a dressing down by the American envoy here. That the London School boys are going to give in, whether it is the nuclear issue, selling American products to the semi-starved Indians, or the other demands of Bush can be easily forseen.
Chidambaram's budget and George Bush coming to India point to a dangerous trend. The conditions within India have been made favourable and the aggressive inroads from outside are crashing in. What all happens beneath is not known. What if the American companies like Monsanto have driven thousands of Andhra Pradesh farmers to suicides, through their seeds and products, what if there are allegations that the skewed trade regimes are killing off traditional sectors in India, the glitter of India shining gets the full marks from the westerniseed media. That the real India which Gandhiji wanted to empower remains under the carpet is nobody's concern. How in Hyderabad thousands of poor in the city streets were herded off to jails and adjoining villages. That George Bush is not seeing the uglyness of India. A poverty caused by the western imperialism, now in the garb of WTO, India's debt servicing. But all said and done India knows that all Americans are not like Bush, the large population of Americans in India, in its ashrams, present another face of America, where there is hope.
