Farmer's Protest: and the saga continues...

 

Sachin's and Rihanna's tweet. PC: Twitter

        

Just the two things I want to make clear on Sachin's controversial tweet is:

The first one, 

I just want to ask the people supporting the tweet, on what grounds Sachin can say that nobody outside India can have the right to talk about our internal matters?

Who gave him that right?

He is one among the millions of other Indians who cried for "Black lives matter", an incident which unfortunately doesn't happen in India, is now bringing up the term "Sovereignty of our nation" and all feels a bit dramatic

Against propaganda is okay, but someone please let me know which propaganda is the worst,

The one that is killing the rights of our own citizens and then whitewashing it by suppressing others opinion on the same 

Or the one that supports our cause?

You see, it doesn't work that way, you go on interfering in someone's matters and expect others to shut their mouth when it comes to you, that's typically arrogant to say!

The second one is,

Someone on the other day was arguing with me about Sachin's right as an Indian citizen which Article 19 or freedom of speech and expression gives him, wait a second, how come Sachin a greater Indian than anyone of us?

No doubt he played for India, No doubt he is a phenomenal cricketer, so what??

Does that make him a bit more 'Indian' than me?

I guess no!

The laws and rights in the constitution are the same for all of us and I do have the right to question Sachin's tweet as well!

Then the question arises is how come someone outside India can comment on farmer's protest?

They don't have the privilege of Article 19A of the Indian Constitution, right?

Wrong!

They do have another right that gave them this power, that neither India nor Indians can deny, here it is,

"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. Legal Citation: Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 19) (10 Dec. 1948), U.N.G.A. "

Now, do you guys argue India is above the UNO?

No country is actually above it, because there does exist an idea of World peace and the UN stands for it. 

A high-ranking Indian celebrity like Sachin Tendulkar replying this rudely to an international celebrity on such sensible issues concerning human rights isn't sending a good vibe to the world as a whole regarding those peacemaking reforms by the UN which again "unfortunately" India happened to agree long ago. 

Think twice before you speak, because not everyone and everything work according to your wishes, and you can't persist to keep it in control as well.

India is a democracy! 

Don't make that sentence a past tense with your actions.

PS: This is all that I, as a student of media and communication understand about Laws and ethics. Please do let me know if I am anywhere wrong. Anything other than blind emotional patriotic abusive comments will be welcomed!

Feminism! Oh wait, Fake Feminist Agenda!

 I do identify myself as a feminist.

But let me make it a bit more clear, even if I believe in the core idea of feminism I don't agree with 90% of the claims the so-called "feminism activists" are putting forward nowadays.

I must say the basic idea of feminism has gone wrong in this country. It would be foolish to expect the people who twist and turn almost every ideology even the Democracy and secularism according to their benefits, would spare a sensitive idea such as feminism. 

When I say I believe in feminism,

I said I believe that there should be equality in status and freedom for men and women,

I believe cooking, cleaning, and all the household works should be more of life skills than gender roles,

I believe a child should be the responsibility of his father as much as it is to a mother and there should be paid paternal leaves for taking care of a mother and child along with maternal leaves in almost all jobs,

I believe in equal pay for equal work,

I believe almost every job and vacancies should be identified as gender-neutral,

I strongly support the abolishment of practices like dowry which unconsciously state that girls are a burden to their parents,

I even recommend the removal of phrases such as "You are a girl, be obedient", "This work is not for boys", "Girls can't raise their voices", "A girl is a guest in her own house" and what not??

This is all I ever wanted, equality, in every perspective of life!

Now, let's talk about the pseudo-feminist perspective that I don't agree with,

See, you cant support both equality and reservation at the same time, both are extreme opposites of each other. So, when you are a feminist you can't cry for those privileges you enjoy for just being a woman. 

Let's take the case of Rhea Chakraborty, these feminists say that she has faced unfair media trial and slut-shaming in both media and public domains, they say that she 'is a women' and so she should be treated with respect.

Now, this is confusing? You are the ones who were shouting for equality till yesterday, now all of a sudden you start crying for the gender privileges that you were enjoying. How can that be possible? Can you guys even hear yourself when you blurt out these things? You even won't make sense to yourself!

You can't argue to treat her nicely just for being a woman. The first and foremost thing is that you can't expect people to respect you because you belong to a particular gender, respect should be earned. You cant cry when a woman criminal is treated as the same as a man criminal in this society. Understand that the word Criminal is gender-neutral and it is so for a reason as well. Because in the eyes of law a criminal is a criminal no matter what gender, caste, creed, or religion they belong to. (That's what equality before the law says if I am not wrong?)

This is like you cry for equality for ages, and when you are finally getting the equal treatment you become conscious that you are special and you need special treatment. That is the dumbest logic I have ever heard.

Now, if you are hurt because of humanity, that she has received inhuman treatment, then I must remind you that she isn't alone, her brother too has been harassed and arrested. I haven't seen a single man standing by his side for his rights and other blah blah. I haven't even seen a single one of you fighting for that cause either. And where was your humanity when a pure soul was drugged and murdered? It didn't bleed that day like it is bleeding now? oh! that was a man!! So isn't this clear cut gender division from your side? Now how can you preach gender equality when you, yourself are against its basic norms? 

At last, if you are saying about her human rights, let me tell you any person who commits such cold-blooded crimes automatically lose their right as humans in the first place. If they were humans they wouldn't have done all these and what good is a human being without humanity? So stop bragging about the human rights of criminals. That is the most ironic of all claims I have heard so far.  Let them face their karma. 

For God's sake don't say this is what you call feminism. This isn't feminism and this will never be. Don't give that name to your egoistic filthy propagandas!

I hope this helps!

Kerala: An inhumane state full of Humanity!

 Pic Credits: Facebook

You could call this a clear breach of COVID protocol, 

You could say that we are the dumbest group of people,

You could say that literacy doesn't mean intelligence,

You could...

But we would still choose to do it a thousand times over and again,

For us, 7th August 2020 is the darkest day in ages! But still, it is the greatest reminder that why Kerala is called "God's Own Country".

Amidst this corona and heavy rain, people who rushed for the rescue operation earlier today in the landslide affected areas of Rajamala, Idukki, and later to the plane crash scenes in Karipur, Malappuram is a symbol that nothing comes between Keralites and their humanity in the time of atrocities like this!

Those people, I wish to call them heroes, they could have chosen to remain in their own homes, watch the live telecast of the disasters on TV screens thinking "why would they put their lives in risk for people whom they don't even know", and sigh for what has happened!

But they didn't...

They choose to fight back, as we have always had! 

They rushed to the disaster scenes quickly and in large numbers, they made work unimaginably easier for the NDRF, Fire Force, and police officials, because they know that it was their duty to do so.

Just a reminder that this is the same Malappuram which you guys accused 2 months back for being inhumane! 

The people who ditched our State for "feeding" crackers to a pregnant elephant even when that was an accident, couldn't even imagine the risk these people have taken today! So refrain from preaching humanity to us in future.

In Rajamala, they could have lost their lives during rescue operations, as the area is prone to another landslide anytime!

In Kondotty, the place being a containment zone, there is a high-risk for COVID 19 social spread!

From the long queues for blood donation in hospitals that started from the time of disaster and extended to early morning in Malappuram to the people who wholeheartedly came forward to give food in the late hours to the passengers of the planes which were diverted to land in Kannur International Airport post the plane crash in Karipur, they are the actual face of Kerala.

Because for us, humanity comes first, even before religion, even before our own life and comforts!

Proud to be one among these people, proud to have born and brought up here amidst them, proud to get inflicted upon these moral values of humanity before anything else! 💖

For the ones who are praising us today, please don't take the pain, we don't need support from people who praise us for time being and ditch us when something unfortunate happens! Keep your appreciation to yourself! Kerala really doesn't care!

Do you know what Kerala is going through these days?

• Corona

• Landslides

• Heavy Rain

• Flood

• A major plane crash

Still, we are fighting! United! 

You may think that we will perish due to this stupidity, one day maybe, but till that day we will stay united and shall perish United! 💖

Yes, we do eat beef!

Yes, we are more secular than you will ever be!

Yes, we are communists and congressmen but will never support BJP!

Yes, we do exist!

PS: Sorry if I have ever been arrogant, but this is just a frustrated Keralite fighting against the hypocritic society!

J & K Bifurcation: An Archived Opinion

To all those people cheering loud for the new integrated India...

To the ones who are celebrating the 73rd so called Independence day of the country...

I just want to ask you something...

Have you ever had a Kashmiri roommate? Have you ever seen them crying for their Homeland?

Have you ever felt within yourself the sense of helplessness of not being able to talk to your own parents for weeks?

Do you have any idea how it actually feels to get  treated as  second citizens in one's own "Integrated Country"!

If not, then you...you are the person I want to sat down for a discussion!

It's been more than 70 years since Kashmir has been added to the territory of Independent India! Or else I must say It has been 7 decades since we are using their geographical land for defense and tourism.

Then again...even after 73 years of staying United if the Kashmiri people aren't able to recognize themselves as one among as then it is shame on us! It is shame on our government! Our government has failed to give them that sense of belonging. Keeping aside those written privileges that they have been enjoying since then, every Indian will admit that the way Kashmiris are treated in India is no less than a foreigner.

Before getting offended, just get your facts clear...a Kashmiri resident is not even eligible to buy a sim card using his/ her identity from any other states in India excluding Jammu and Kashmir. Wow... Incredible India! Right? Is this the way a country treats it's citizen's? And that too one which claims to be a  democratic country?

Keeping the prominent Political leaders and bureaucrats in house arrest, cutting all the communication facilities, establishing curfew for time undetermined and assigning an average of 7 soldiers per common man is the so called liberal way of integrating a nation? The decision of their lifetime has been taken and is implemented on them forcefully.

What does integration in it's true sense means?

Call me an emotional fool but I must say Kashmir is not about it's land...it is about the people. Human Resource is the greatest and most productive form of resource any developing country can ever have. Unless and until the people in J&K don't agree with the very idea of 'Integrated India' , this country can never be considered United.

A bill that is opposed by half of the population of a country has been unanimously passed by the ruling party in the parliament, that itself shows the basic concept of democracy has failed in this country. I am not here to talk about the Pros and cones of this decision, but I must say that the way it is been implemented is the worst one any democratic country can follow.
