Beyond Walls: CoVID-19

Nature. The one force which remains undomesticated by humanity. Every alteration we try to add, every problem we try to solve - nature fights back. Every action of humans has been equally reacted to by nature. However, if we cannot see beyond the depths of our pockets, being caught off-guard by nature should come as no surprise. 

We pushed nature too far with our egotism and she sought vengeance. Our follies and misadventures have injured mother nature repeatedly. Hence, her vengeance comes to us. As a deadly virus: Coronavirus.

The current coronavirus pandemic is an endangerment to the world. Killing above a lakh people, it has the potency of a Hiroshima atomic bomb. Yet there is no one to blame but ourselves for it. We were short-sighted in our approach and our confidence in our tactics. Many of us would not accept its dangerous potential. From that obscurity came Coronavirus' notoriety: fatalities and suddenness striking down humanity. The potent and deadly arsenal of nature has been unleashed with this pandemic, sorely testing our capacities. 

Yet amid these vexing times, we denounce our government counterparts for their delays and flaws. Our allegations accuse China of negligence, the USA of short-sightedness, the UK of brushing aside pandemics, et al. However, through all the blame, we lay fallen and disunited. We stand collapsed and arrogant at a time when only union and humility can protect us. During the time we should mend bridges, we cut them off. 

Humanity has never been more vulnerable. Yet we shut our eyes and believe what we hear. The voices of rabble-rousers or politicians shifting the blame like sand-dunes which we hear. These words, dripping with hatred, do not inspire or innovate but detract and disillusion.

Despite these threats and deceit, some of us try to help others. Some of us fund welfare projects, some of us undertake those projects. Yet help is what all of us need. Even so, help is not what all of us get. The few privileged individuals who do not suffer from afflictions and finances must arise to protect those who do. The few of us who are heart-rend by the rising deaths must help. All of us who care about humanity must help. This is the fight of our time. Let it not be said that humanity failed when it was needed most.

India's Real Problem

Recently, the BBMP (A municipal body existing in Bengaluru) announced another scheme for the metropolitan city's security. As many laws, regional and nation-wide, go through about citizen security; this one was centric upon Women. The BBMP generously provided 33.64 crores of Indian Rupees to this project (Bengaluru only). The scheme engages the making of chambers for Women at Bus stands. The fogged glass enveloping the separate seats will ensure their security, shielding them from the looks of others. Such laws and schemes are commonplace in India. To the average eye, this may seem like a benevolent move by the authorities. Looks are deceiving; in this case, more so. These laws have inconceivable depths. Many consequences uncover upon a thorough investigation of the proposed scheme. Unfortunately, their existence substantially hinders the intention of the programme.  The BBMP must protect women from harassment (Cutthroat political competition). If the BBMP aims to get re-...

DECODED - Divisive Statements (P1)

Divisive statements. They are ubiquitous and not specific to any particular field. However, their most explicit usage is majorly in the field of politics. Nation-wide or region-specific, these statements are cunningly crafted to shock, provoke and divide. The Britons were pioneers in the strategy of 'divide-and-rule'. These tactics are conventional methods of providing a 'stable' base to configure an electoral gain for any candidate or political party. Its extensive usage threatens the pillars of democracy and the foundations of the Constitution. To immunise the populace to reject knowledgeably the statements made for the sake of electoral glory and not for the true spirit which it withholds. Readers here is an accurate and fact-filled description and analysis of the problem we are faced by today. Political parties are, in the author's definition,  an organised group of politically motivated individuals progressing an ideology forced upon them by Adam Smith...

Red Star Over (South) Asia

  In a small nondescript village, down west of Siliguri in West Bengal, lie the roots of a movement which redefined the peasant’s revolution for not only India but the world. The Maoist Movement of South Asia which began with a small plot of land in the tiny village of Naxalbari [Naksal-bari]. From the peasants of West Bengal to the people of Nepal, the revolutionaries of Bangladesh to the terrorists of Myanmar; the far-reaching consequences of one remote village in 1967 never cease to astound. Maoism in itself is a sobriquet for Mao Zedong [Tse-Tung] Thought, a curious amalgamation of Marxist-Leninism with the rich and predominantly agricultural culture of the Asiatic region. A form of communism, but only just (for between Marxists and Maoists there exists a chasm of difference), Maoism is a theory of communism which advocates for a revolution by the peasantry than the proletariat (which is considered to be a higher economic class as per Marxist/Trotskyist classification). Key tr...
