Jaipur Shit Fest

Let me tell you how this country is really and actually governed. It's a bit oversimplified but you would get the basic idea. The top is busy drinking and going to EDM concerts. The ones lower than that who don't have the "class" to go to EDM concerts, as this is a real thing and you supposedly need something more than money and interest to go to Sunburn or an NH7 Weekender, are busy raping women and extorting people. The middle class is kept busy with relatives, and how a particular relative cheated or betrayed them and all that drama, and the lower class is busy being hand to mouth and getting exploited. Young boys are busy masturbating while being repressed turning into assholes and young girls are busy getting attention and getting harassed along with their "preparation" for a bright future. To keep things more interesting there are narratives at different levels in mainstream media and social media, some at the national levels on the lines of "feeling paroud Indian army" and others at local level like at present it's husbands getting murdered on honeymoons by wives which is basically conspiracies and scapegoating of people with less self-control and less knowledge. And these narratives unfold and people on social media enjoy them like a true crime drama making memes about it. Compare this to the times when Surabhi used to air on the television and kids used to read comic books. If BJP really cared about Hinduism it would have worked for making Hinduism aesthetic and promoting indic culture but what you get are poorly made propaganda movies, propaganda is not even the problem, the sheer incompetence in executing it is. I'll tell you the difference between class and budding cronies, check out the difference between Swarajya mag's mostly indic narrative and OpIndia's crude and rabid propaganda. Panchjanya was always Hindu nationalist and it was a fine magazine but shit got hilarious when I got to know about its twitter handle which keeps peddling propaganda and that too crudely in stark contrast to its idealistic Hindu nationalist narrative in the magazine. The truth however is EDM and sex. I started to see the pattern, which I had conveniently ignored, when I read about the elites of Iran and their kids living luxurious lives owning Lamborghinis and living in the West. Yes, the same Islamic Republic of Iran that hates the west so much. I mean I have loved MIDIval Punditz ever since I was a kid but when you live in a setting where people are being told the kind of music they "deserve" shit starts to get funny. The problem is not the litter of the rich attending EDM concerts the issue is what their employed rapists are doing to common people. It took me some time to realise that India doesn't really have a working intelligence establishment and even if there is one, they can't really be called intelligent. I mean I realise that the elites of India are bitch of America which is funny because their egoes suddenly turn massive when confronted with helpless and already exploited common people who they are turning into schadenfreude ridden beasts. When you can directly use Pavlovian psychology why go for more nuanced psychology seems to be the motto. I miss Indian comics though and I miss Indian rock music which I suppose might still be playing in some elite Gurgaon pub.

Whenever I think I'm done with political writing I get ideas which I have to write down. It's since 2013 I have been exposed to the ...
