THE THIN EDGE
Silent disquiet: What explains the lack of large-scale public anger in
the face of oppression?
We believe in servitude and obedience, constantly adjusting to the
powerful, applying exactly the same oppressive techniques on those
weaker than us.

TM Krishna
The spirit is mute, maybe it lost its voice a long time ago and I just
didn’t notice. The spark, the verve in our voice has wearied – its
timbre is missing. The gentle smile that opens into a hearty laugh
even among the poorest of the poor has lost its shine. Among a
section, there is nervousness, many finding recourse in the safety of
silence and an equal number resigned to whatever is thrown at them.
Of course, there are those who feel vindicated – “our time has come,”
they say. Somewhere at the very epicentre of that pride, there is
thirst for blood, revenge targeted at an unknown past, curated to
refer to a mirage of characters, long gone. Sharing has become an
exercise in socio-political incest, when everyone else is a fool or a
dangerous pariah.
I am unable to frame words with exactitude that describe this silent
disquiet among many. But as I watch people, listen to conversations,
overhear whispers at railway stations and airports, speak to auto
drivers, street vendors and shopkeepers, there is a sense of
acceptance about the various infringements we have been mute witnesses to over the past few years.
The maya of pseudo-morality has been so wonderfully mass-marketed and
installed in our minds that any expression of dissent makes us feel
lesser, corrupt and unfaithful. And, hence, even the doubtful are
surrendering to the possibility that all this is for our betterment.
Just like we feel that punishment at school is necessary to instil
discipline and moral correctness, today we sit in the classroom of our
land, policed by our headmaster, Narendra Modi, receiving a few lashes at all those ideals that he says have led us astray.
Before proceeding , it is important to state that cultural and economic
manipulations are not new to our nation. The Congress has employed
them to put us in our place too. But I will be lying to myself if I do
not express my feeling that ever since Modi came to power, we have
been witness to a tactical and systematic orchestration of
manipulation of various shades. I am stopping just short of calling it
sinister, but I cannot but wonder.
The evil, most tragically, is targeted at the very conscience of our
modern existence – the Constitution. And the fact that many are
convinced that this is the way to move forward makes all this even
more dangerous.
Machiavellian governance is today being justified by majoritarianism.
Even the labeled anti-lot are struggling to come to terms with this
emotional seed that Modi has planted in our hearts. Within this
internal quagmire exists religious and nationalistic fidelity. How
does one fight it without feeling or sounding immoral? The
psychological war unleashed by this government has effectively crushed
response by instilling doubt. And my worry is that by the time we
realise the fallacy of the weapons or develop the courage to respond
with conviction, the boat may have left the jetty.
The marginalised struggle to retain their culture-specific identities,
dignity and relevance. The few voices of protest are targeted with
vengeance. Our bravado only worsened the Kashmir crisis and we may have
turned the clock back by at least a decade or more – all for
machismo and display of another form of ugly morality. And the
economically disfranchised across sections of society have been hit
hard by an unimaginable financial act of insanity.
Ironically, every secular Hindu quote aids and abets Modi’s discourse,
making us think twice before we stand up and say anything to the
contrary.
Stuck in the past
There is something missing in us. I do not know if it is cultural or
conditioned, but as a people, we do not recognise rights as a
fundamental nature of living. This is as true of the privileged as it
is of the ones on the fringes. We will oppress, twist the system and
justify that in the name of survival. At the same time, rarely will we
realise that the rights given by our Constitution to all inhabitants
of this land are not benevolence showered on us by some supreme power
but a beautiful gift we gave ourselves. Exercising our rights is seen by
many as obstructive and of nuisance value. Some even feel they are
committing a wrong when they assert themselves, and there are those who
will not take the risk, held back by fear.
We do not respect ourselves as people of ethical power, power that
gives us the right to live with dignity, privacy, empathy and
empowerment. And, hence, we are nervous about voicing those demands.
This is disrespect of our own humanity and, ironically, that gives us
the right to manipulate it unabashedly. We believe in servitude and
obedience, constantly adjusting to the powerful, applying exactly the
same oppressive techniques on those who are lower in our social
ladder, the worst hit being the SC/STs, Muslims and women.
Therefore, the lack of large-scale public anger at all that has been
going on is not to be equated with a certification, it is an odd mixture
of fatalism, false morality and an inability to ask for what is ours.
Our
idea of the self is not derived from the Constitution, it comes from
elsewhere, an intangible vague past.
We are a confluence of an old civilisation and a new democracy. If you
ask an Indian, they will instantly connect with the cultural antiquity
of who we are and not with the modern constitutional democracy that is
India today. Many of our cultural practices and faiths contravene
democracy, making reconciliation next to impossible. This is the
reason why we are unable to understand ideas such as liberty,
equality, fraternity and justice in a 21st-century sense. We interpret
all this in relation to an ambiguous past, and we are unable to trust
the contemporary.
For us, the old is far more valuable than the new and our Constitution
is new and hence, must submit to an old age scrutiny. We are
uncomfortable in our Democratic Republic skin and always looking out
for that monarch. And unfortunately, in Modi many have found that
tough, benevolent raja. The only history that he and his government
want to destroy is the one that began in 1950 and was told from then
on. They lose no opportunity to constantly reiterate that ancient
past, when we were supposedly pure, unpolluted by outsiders. A
cultural technique to subvert India – the Secular Socialist Democratic
Republic.
Need for deep reflection Modi probably believes he is the saviour on
the white horse and has convinced us that the modern lies in the
employment of technological tools, though behind these technologies are
parochial, casteist, religiously divisive and economically invasive
stratagems. Technology is the perfect facade to hide behind and Modi
does it to perfection.
The fraud EVMs have been tampered for Modi to gobble the Master Key.
The Ex CJI had committed agrave error of judgement by ordering that the
EVMs could be replaced in a phased manner as suggested by the ex CEC
Sampath. Only 8 out of 543 seats in 2014 Lok Sabha were replaced.
The present CEC says that only in 2019 the entire EVMs will be replaced.
None of them ordered for paper ballotrs to be used till the entire EVMs
were replaced. And the central and state governments selected by these
fraud EVMs to be dissolved and go for fresh elections with paper
ballots.
Similarly, he has reduced corruption to only its
financial mmanifestation. While until now, he and Modi may be clear of
financial corruption,they are culturally and socially corrupt. But do we
really care to think of these as forms of corruption?
As we enter a new year, we need to reflect deeply on those whose
voices we do not hear. The lack of voices of dissidence does not
indicate support. And a victory in an election, too, does not
necessarily infer validation. We have to search with greater intensity
and subtlety, because only then will this nation mature to become what
our founding fathers believed was possible. Today, we are a mockery of
what we could have been, and have nobody but ourselves to blame.
Decades of philosophical and political degeneration has led us to
where we are and, therefore, I will not lay all blame at Modi’s
doorstep. After all, we let him happen and that says something about
us. And this country celebrates nationhood when death, sorrow,
unhappiness and unimaginable hardship are forced upon people. What a shame!

Congress was bad, but Murderer of democratic institutions (Modi) turned
our country into a malevolent enemy of the people. Always threatening
with newer punitive measures, taking your money away, making you stand
in lines in his QUEUE INDIA MOVEMENT. And all the collected money from
ordinary people will go to Bahuth Jiyadha Psychopath (BJP) friends, not a
penny back to us, except build a hospital here and a statue there.
Corruption by congress was big and under the surface, but BJP greed took
the food out of poor peoples mouth, only dictators in Africa do this.
Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi claims that Modi was paid huge
money in kickbacks during his stint as Gujarat chief minister.
He accused Modi of receiving crores from the two big corporate houses and demanded an independent probe into the matter.
Congress’ Uttar Pradesh chief ministerial candidate Sheila Dikshit on
Monday too washed her hands off the allegation made in the diaries
against her. Among others, the list contains an entry against Dikshit,
the then Delhi chief minister. The diary entry showed that Rs 1 crore in
cash was paid to her on September 23, 2013.
Rahul earlier claimed whether it was a sin to have a brahmin as CM of UP.
1. BOFORS SCAM
Diary entries in the Bofors scam played a major role during trial
in Sweden. Former head of the Swedish police Sten Lindstrom claimed that
he leaked about 350 documents, which included payment instructions to
banks, contracts, handwritten notes, minutes of meetings and Bofors
managing director Martin Ardbo’s diary that carried a lot of sensitive
information.
In an interview to The Hindu, Lindstrom’s commented
on former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi and Ottavio Quattrocchi, the
Italian businessman accused of being a middleman in the deal:
But
Rajiv Gandhi watched the massive cover-up in India and Sweden and did
nothing. Many Indian institutions were tarred, innocent people were
punished while the guilty got away. The evidence against Ottavio
Quattrocchi was conclusive.
Former prime minister VP Singh
raised the issue during Rajiv Gandhi’s tenure as PM. This led to
Gandhi’s defeat in the 1989 Lok Sabha elections and Singh succeeded him
as the PM.
2. JAIN HAWALA SCAM
The sensational Jain
Hawala scam of 1996 also affected the political careers of several
leaders. Names of at least 60 politicians, civil servants and
businessmen appeared in coded entries in two diaries seized by the
police from a prominent New Delhi businessman in 1991. According to the
prosecutors, SK Jain - one of two brothers who kept the diaries -
claimed that the entries reflected payoffs made from 1988 to 1991 for
government contracts and other favours.
On the directive from
the Supreme Court in January 1996, a special hawala court was set up.
This forced three senior ministers - Madhavrao Scindia, VC Shukla and
Balram Jakhar - of the PV Narasimha Rao government to resign. The then
BJP president LK Advani too resigned from Parliament and pledged not to
contest till his name was cleared from the scam.
3. APPLE ORCHARD SCAM OF VIRBHADRA SINGH
The Income Tax department, during its raids in December 2012 at
Ispat Industries premises, found diaries with entries made about
off-the-book cash transactions. Some notings between 2008 and 2010 were
under the title ‘VBS’. The raids took place when the present Himachal
Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh was the Union Steel Minister in
the Manmohan Singh’s UPA government rocked by scams. The seized
documents revealed that payments of Rs 50 lakh each on 28 October 2009
and 21 December 2009; Rs 28 lakh on 21 April 2010, and Rs 1 crore on 8
August 2010 had been made. Similar entries in the diaries hinted at
payments made to Virbhadra through his aides.
The entries were
made at the same time when the Income Tax department laid its hands on
three large cash deposits made by an LIC agent, Anand Chauhan, into
account number 524185 of Punjab National Bank’s branch at Sinjauli, near
Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh. The agent deposited Rs 5 crore
between 2008 and 2011 and then i,Rassued cheques to pay for one-time
life insurance premium of ‘Veerbhadra Singh Hindu United Family’,
comprising the CM, his wife and two children. Virbhadra told the Income
Tax officials that the payments had been made to Chauhan for managing
his apple orchards.
The said income from apple orchards saw
multifold jump - from Rs 10-20 lakh every year to an additional profit
of Rs 6.15 crore. Noose is tightening around Virbhadra and the
Opposition BJP is all set to raise it during forthcoming Assembly
elections.
4. PDS SCAM OF RAMAN SINGH
The PDS scam
came into limelight following allegations levelled by senior senior
Congress leaders against Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh. In
March 2015, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi, on the basis of
unverified “documentary evidence”, alleged that over Rs 34 crore were
sent to the CM’s house on June 8, 2014, as “payment of ill-gotten
wealth”.
Singhvi claimed that Raman Singh, his close relatives
and personal staff earned several crores worth of “ill-gotten wealth”
through the alleged scam in the state’s public distribution system
(PDS). Based on daily entries made in a diary of one Shiv Shankar Bhatt
of the State Civil Supplies Corporation, Congress accused Singh, his
wife and her close relatives, state ministers as well as the CM’s
personal cook, courier and aides of indulging in “unprecedented
corruption”.
The PDS rice scam is a tale of “ministers, chief
minister, CM’s close relatives, CM’s close personnel and staff
completely immersed neck deep in corruption,” Singhvi had told the media
while distributing copies of the diary entries.
5. EX-CBI DIRECTOR RANJIT SINHA
Former CBI Director Ranjit Sinha was indicted by a Supreme
Court-appointed panel which held that prima facie there was an attempt
to influence investigation into the multi-crore coal block allocation
scam, again during the Congress-led UPA government. Sinha was accused of
meeting some of the high- profile accused in the scam. The court also
pulled up CBI for its sluggish probe in the scam and directed the agency
to complete the investigation expeditiously.
Attorney General
Mukul Rohatgi informed the apex court that the panel headed by former
CBI special director ML Sharma held that Sinha’s meetings prima facie
indicated that there was an attempt to influence the investigation.
This case too was based on a visitors’ diary at Sinha’s residence.
Rohtagi said he had gone through the report which has found that the
entries made in the diary were genuine.
B K
Sheila
Dikshit era of Delhi witnessed number of money laundering and
corruptions in Delhi. Her removal from UP election process may not
benefit the party as Sonia herself made the impression of the party as
the most corrupt party in the country. The scam prone Sonia cheated
farmers, poor of the country while she encouraged scams after scams in
her 10 years of rule. Sonia’s corrupt image discouraged people to leave
the party.
Chand
The oldest political party is suffering
from aimless and poor leadership. The so called earthquake seems to be
happening within the party.
Jaitley Sabotaging Even Petty Gains, Soft On Corporate, Traders
Jaitley as FM had bungled everyday. It was Most Lunatic to keep Shops
and Businesses Run 24 Hrs/day as if 8 hrs/day is not enough. Even
BSE/NSE work for 25 Hr/Week - Led to Rs.2-3 Lakh Cr Black Money
Conversion in few days.
Who Prevented Traders from Accepting
Checks? – A Trader may E-Mail Check Number to the Bank And Bank Then
Transfer The Money in to Traders Account, Check is then deposited with
Bank for record, First of 3 Lunatics yesterday.
There was a 20 Yr
Old Bobby Deol film also which depicted how Accounts of a Criminal was
Cleaned up remotely from a Cruise Ship in seconds. E-Banking means $b
money can flow from one account to another to another in seconds.
Had I advised him at 8PM on Nov08, 2016 It would have been to Unplug
all the ATMs, Inter-Bank transactions and directed all banks to Switch
off Power supply and shut down banking transactions. Directed people to
buy essential supplies, made Quick Arrangement to Deposit Old notes in
Sealed Bags with Copy of Aadhar Card after making them unusable by
dipping an end of it in ink or oil with Third Party like Schools used
for Elections.
This would have ensured ALL THE CURRENCY NOTES are
Safely deposited with Third Party in few days QUICKLY – Leaving the
banks to do Normal Business through Written Pay Orders and Do Normal
Business through ATMs in 2-5 day.
It is Laughable India’s
Finance Minister had no idea that Businesses Use FAKE ACCOUNTS to
LAUNDER BLACK MONEY and Secret Accounts to keep Money.
Second
Lunatics he said PM is Wrong when he wanted Stock Market ‘Profits’
should be TAXED like any other income, next Third he said ‘Cashless
means less cash, not no cash’. This is LUNATIC – means Earning Money At
Stock Market is TAX FREE and Buying a Pizza attract 17% to 20% S.Tax
plus Taxes on Business.
