The patriotic termites

That is how the patriotic president of the BJP speaks. Such speech must be a part of Amit Shah's patriotic duty. This is in fact he displaying good behavior and therefore not fulfilling his patriotic duty to the best of his ability. Of course, his patriotic duty is to stay in power at all costs.

In other news our defense minister Sitharaman is proud that the Indian army is decapitating enemies. An ordinary sane person may think that shooting and killing would suffice to protect the nation and the soldier's own self and his mates. One would also hope that soldiers would be put in such life threatening situations only very rarely and hopefully never at all.

Turns out that the defense minister knows better and that we must go further and be barbaric and cut heads off. Else, we wouldn't be doing enough. I pity the poor soldier, if any, who has been driven to such a state where in he/she has no compunction of decapitating the enemy soldier or terrorist. Such a soldier would need help.

Of course, our minister is sad that such cut heads are not being put on display for evidence. Cut heads and surgical strikes must be milked for votes and TV appearances after all.

I just can't understand how our ministers go back to their families after a typical day of disgraceful and detestable conduct.

Matter of faith!

Call your own self patriotic, abuse the rule of law, act like the most barbaric of kings whose acts you claim to be undoing, say it is all about faith and for the hundreds of crores (many starving), and keep celebrating since. What a shame. Dec 6 must have been a sad day for the Indian flag and anyone who cared any bit for the rule of law and therefore the nation.

All in the name of the great Lord Rama. Not sure if Rama was such a great leader, how he could be in favor of such a flagrant abuse of the rule of law.

His human followers, often the self-proclaimed patriots, clearly have no qualms.

The latest example of how we still talk of building the temple when what we must talk about is the abuse of the law: https://indianexpress.com/article/india/ayodhya-issue-supreme-court-is-ours-says-up-minister-ram-temple-5348897/

I suggest that instead of a temple, we make a monument that records in detail how the rule of law was abused on the day. Just the actual events. We should allow access to all the speeches that preceded the event, recordings of the event itself, all those who got killed for no rhyme or reason, and all those who have celebrated since and/or can't still stop celebrating. At least that way the future generations can judge for themselves. Hopefully, more of them than us will stand up for the rule of law.

Lynching is injurious to health

Given the key role lynching has played in taking lives in this country for at least a century and given the sudden spurt in lynching, I suggest that the Govt. of India set up a committee that comes up advisories educating us the sheeple on the harms of lynching. We could start with crappy resolution audio and video public advisories that flash "Lynching is Injurious to Health" may be with a bovine in the background.

We should mandate that cinema theaters show these soon after sheeple are done standing for the national anthem. This looks like a good time to educate them on the harms of lynching, notwithstanding, for example, the often stated benefits of bovines saved as a result of humans being lynched.

Of course, given the awe inspiring talent at the top, GoI we will be able to come up with lines more interesting than "Lynching is Injurious to Health".

In the mean time, we should invest in bovine biometrics. Just like Aadhaar can find a lost child, so can BB find a lost bovine.
