After several futile attempts to write about the current political system in India, I have decided to write porn. At least writing porn is less disgusting and awkward than the current political narrative. If you wonder what makes me write like this then, I would squarely put the blame on you. If you raise concerns on the blame, then am going to curse you, and your future generation too. If you ask me why I behave like this, right then and there am going to abuse your family. If now, you are finally intolerant about me, then am going to weep, and plead that my life is for you. If you believe me, I would walk away and if you don’t I would, resuscitate the stratagem till you submit. If this is not porn, then what is it? Well, it could be the favorite hobby of a Political Party or A Leader or Some Louts or all of them. And if you still do not understand why I am writing about porn then, well I have a different hobby- to see and write. And every day I can see only glib talkers eve-teasing secularism, and bestial louts strip democracy naked.
An 8 year old teen was sedated and raped for three days. Many of us bled for her and held candle light marches. Throngs of people echoed for a death penalty for the perpetrators. But did even one raise their voice asking for punishment of the real criminal? Did even one stand up and just express anguish over the real crime? The 8 Year Old was abducted and raped in a TEMPLE. Right under the eyes of those Gods in whose name votes were churned. Those Gods which killed the 10 headed demons, those Gods which saved the world from vile forces, those Gods which take avatars to wipe out evil, where did those Gods go now, when that little girl was lying motionless amidst its presence. It stinks!
Shame on us if we say that we really do not know the real reason behind that little girl’s death! And if this is not porn then what is it?
A 16 year old teen is picked up from the entrance of a Mosque and the next day his father receives his lifeless son’s body. Tattered clothes and battered body, if only he was born in another religion the poor kid would have been alive. His father an Imam, betrayed but not repulsive does not seek revenge.
Shame on us if we say that we do not understand what those words from a bruised father means! And if this is not porn then what is it?
A happy 23 year Old Youth riding a horse on his marriage day is pulled down and thrashed to death. Later you find the pattern across country, 23 Dalits killed in this year alone. For what? Because they were riding a horse on their marriage day.
Shame on us if we say that we do not know what made the others kill them! If this is not porn then what is it?
The great jamboree of India, election occurs and there seems to be only one recurring theme and result. First spread anger and lies vociferously. If the opposition leader stands up with the truth then slander him, then his mother, then his father, then his grandmother, then his great-grandfather. If it does not work, distort facts and history. And even then if it does not work, spill the money bag on floor. And still if you are a scratch away from that nasty victory, murder the already traumatized democracy.
Shame on us that we still vote for such a theme. Shame on us that we are happy to see the rape of our democracy! If this is not porn then what is it?
And in all these, there is one common motive, one common party, one common leader and one common ambition- One Nation, One Religion and One Ideology.
Shame on us if we still do not realize what is happening around us!
Is this porn then? Maybe not. Because, here the voices are real, the intent is real and the happening is real. This is not porn because, they are raping our souls and not our body. This is not porn because this is something more immoral and dirtier than it. Let me write about porn because, I feel ashamed, awkward and disgusting to write about the lost souls.
