The fringe of fringes

Fringes by their very characteristics do dominante the public discourse and try to dominate the public narrative towards their very ideological inclinations. 

Whether it's a Sadhvi Prachi on one extreme or a Brinda Karat on the other, the core elements of their thought & action follow the same pattern. 

The former might have a fetish for a stark chastity, while the latter might be a votary of indulgent promiscuity. 

Both have their own language, symbols and motifs to communicate their very own worldviews to their very followings sharing each of their respective ideological moorings. 

Both despise each other with utmost disdain and look forward for trampling the other's viewpoint at the first opportunity. 

The following of both these fringes keep on dwindling and thereby keep on determining the directionality of national discourse. 

Which one of them is progressive or which one of them is regressive, would certainly remain an object of constant debate and is somewhere needed for a vibrant civil society. 

It's just very normal that a piece of art for one can be interpreted as an object of sheer vulgarity by the other. 

For one devouring beef is just a culinary preference, for the other it's an emotive extravaganza at par with murder. 

A democratic and liberal society like India has always lived somewhere in a continuum between these two fringes. 

These two poles have given rise to a vibrant society with innumerable ways of life all cohabiting and adjusting with each other making course corrections on way with law of the land safeguarding the fundamental human liberties. 

One fringe taking over the right to free speech of that of other by any form of intellectual skullduggery or shenanigans just cannot be exercised in perpetuity.

The recent tirade to abuse a tolerant Indian society tethered to its Civilizational virtues of peace & prosperity was somewhere an aberration inspired from fissiparous alien forces. 

This fringe of the fringes need to be thwarted by all means.
