The sadistic pleasure of breaching the impregnable & closely guarded armor of Prime Minister Modi's stellar performance so far might be the innate intrinsic reason for the procrastination of the resolution of the parliamentary logjam over the supposed Ramzaade Vs. Haramzaade taxonomy unleashed by Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti during an electoral expression at Delhi recently.
While the Prime Minister has dis-approved of her remarks to placate the shenanigans of parliamentary discourse. He has much more to accomplish on his governance agenda which needs a parliamentary sanction, the reason for his supposed softening and letting go approach.
However, this entire episode presents an interesting opening into exploring the undue bias, dichotomy & sophism which has got crept into India's public discourse. This is somewhere to reign in the self-expression of the people at large in the language and lingo they are comfortable and well versed with.
Sadhvi's political discourse somewhere emanates from the traditional Indian worldview whose central inquiry and concern for time immemorial has been around the twin axis of dharmic and adharmic conduct. The ignorant and uninitiated adherents of alien & adversary ideologies might deride it by labeling it as an Hindutva bandwagon. So what? What's wrong with Hinduism after all. It's one of the finest living traditions on the earth which advocates for universalism, positive assimilation and transcendence of humanity to higher echelons through self penance.
It's interesting but alarming at the same time to note the dubious sensitivity of these rabble rousers who would celebrate and sanction the terming of a bollywood actress as Asia's most sexiest woman - someone who tends to arouse sexual desire or interest. Objectification of the institution of womanhood is an accepted reality, but the classification of dharmic and adharmic conducts sends shiver down their spine as it somewhere exposes the inadequacies & hypocrisies of their political worldview.
What Vishal Sikka has put very boldly that Indians don't speak up, they simply tend to follow orders. This smacks of a defeated, subjugated and tormented people. They fear in speaking up because they lack the courage, the confidence and the conviction that they would be laughed at, mocked at and looked down upon in some way or the other. They don't take a stand against these very attacks on their civilizational ethos because they still live under a psychological threat to their very personal, social and cultural liberties which somewhere continued for more than half a century after the exodus of the British from the Indian Soil.
The all-out support of the Indian people in the centenary year of World War - I to the self-assuring voice in Narendra Modi is just a reflection & proof of their deeply rooted fears which persist to this date.
Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti's taxonomy is just an outward example of that innate intrinsic need of self-expression of the common Indian which is not shrouded in the homilies of "white man's burden". It's simple, honest and closer to life, which is led and pursued by this billion plus nation for millennias. The diversionary tactics of heralding obscurantism would probably not withstand their credence any further.
