ANARCHIC RESEARCH TO INSULT LEADERS
Ratheesh Kaliyadan
Prime minister in India is the supreme and the team leader in the Union ministry. The Chief Minister entertains the same in the states. Government of Kerala is under the left orientation under the leadership of Mr.V.S.Achuthanandan as the chief minister. The government took several decisions in association with the political motive of the left front. The major decisions in educational sector proclaim the government’s commitment to the laymen.
The first decision was to pass a bill to control the self financing educational institutions. The same decision invited grudge from the parts of private managements. The anti government feeling is promoted by almost all religious and castes organizations that run self financing professional colleges and other educational institutions. They declared their real commitments to the upper middle class society through various campaigns against the left government. Christian institutions especially the Catholics are on the fore front of the war against the government. They already released a lot of idayalekhanams (shepherd’s gospel).

I have a first hand experience in connection with the catholic priest’s row over the left parties. I was in a course at Rajagiri College of Social Sciences, Kalamassery in Kerala. This institution run by the CMI fathers is one of the pioneer institutions that offer courses in social work. The college has an outreach department and a research wing. The research wing conducts various studies on various social issues. They also conducted studies for the government of Kerala and its various organizations. Still they have right to criticize the government and personalities in association with the government; but not to insult them.

Here is a glimpse of insult in their office. It is a crime also. The chief minister V.S.Achudanandan’s photo is morphed and pasted with that of Pinarayi Vijayan, state secretary of Communist Party of India (Marxist).They are portrayed in the wedding dress. V.S marries Pinarayi. Aha…What an excellent idea! V.S is the male and Pinarayi the girl. Sometimes it may mean that ‘She’ will be an obedient wife of him, as our custom imposes.
This exercise may be a mere joke; a joke of little guys. But it implies a lot of meanings, especially in such a context where priests are in a row over the communists and the morphed photograph is prevailed in the desktop of such a ‘reputed’ institution. Oh! is it part of your social science research? If your answer is YES, there will be multifaceted responses. On the contrary if your stand is “this is a mistake happened by a slip of intellectual shift”, please correct it and open up more judicious criticism and democratic dialogues on your feeling for or against the government and the communists. Otherwise it will be continued as an anarchic intervention in a pure democratic context




DEMOCRACY OF FASCISTS
Ratheesh Kaliyadan

Freedom of speech and expression is one of the fundamental rights of every Indian citizen. The constitution of India assures it for every Indians. Unfortunately certain organizations have not. The latest victim of such hard and fast rule of organizations is Mr. Jaswant Singh who was former minister and Bharathiya Janatha Party leader. Mr. Singh was expelled from his party only because of writing a book on Indian independence movement. He praised Mr. Muhammadali Jinnah the then leader of Muslim League which argued for an independent nation-Pakistan. BJP took a stand that it is against the policy of the party.
Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangham(RSS) leader clearly made a comment that the RSS will not tolerate with the ideological heresy, just before BJP’s Chinthan Bytak had started. The RSS leader’s words are accepted by the obedient leaders and took action against Mr. Singh. The former Union minister and one of the “fine” leaders of BJP has expelled from the party.
The action against Mr. Singh made the book popular. It is the other side of the expulsion. The publisher got maximum publicity and intensified circulation. The first edition of the book was finished in the very first day of its release itself. The business intensification is also possible through an expulsion.
The more interested thing in the Singh episode is his book’s ban in certain areas of the nation. Mr. Narendra Modi banned the book in his own world, Gujarath. The action was announced within seconds, the action against the author prevailed. The real expression of intolerance of a fascist. Mr. Modi once again scored in his aggressive pro-Hindutva agenda. But in the scoring; the fundamental right and scope for democratic dialogues become a nightmare. We can’t expect it from fascists.
Even though Mr. Singh’s ideology or points of views are not acceptable, unfortunately progressive activists could not to take part of the issue and exploit the situation in a better way by campaigning against the fascist’s anti-human approaches. The real face of fascist rulers is revealed through this episode. Similar to the Nazi ruler Adolph Hitler and fascist emperor Mussolini, BJP leaders and RSS ideologues took action against their own leader. Then what will be the case of an ordinary person who criticizes these ideologies?

RECONSTRUCTING MAHATMA
RATHEESH KALIYADAN

Here is a shocking news to Gandhians and Gandhi lovers! He is one of the most influential personalities of the century.Satyagraha movement and staunch leadership in Indian independence struggle make Mahatma Gandhi,the real 'Mahatma'.By delivering sparkling messages in a low but steady voice,Mahatma Gandhi empowered the Indian folks to attain an independent and sovereign state and hold its administration.He became the father of Nation.

As Mahatma Gandhi himself pointed out,his life was a message.He became a living model to the Indian fighters.It was through the great life,he became 'Mahatma' not by pretty words or orders.Gandhiji became the symbol of anti-imperialist movement all over the world.

Civil disobedience,Satyagraha,Dandi march,Quit India movement...made Mahatmaji the embodiment of Indian freedom struggle.His words and actions attracted not only the warriors but enemies also.Every moments ion his life inspired the villages and cities a lot.The followers had no doubt to act as he suggests, even though there were certain different opines on the way of movements.Long years after an American President,Barac Obama,declared his admiration to the great Indian leader and put a picture of Gandhi in his life.

Market oriented global business network system is in a tight competition to compete with similar products and producers.They are under acute research to marketize everything including the anti-incumbent factors.They are even ready to utilize all symbols and signs of anti-imperialist influences to marketize their own products.Strong slogans against a product in a protest expression may be a caption of the advertisements of the same product!Advertisements using picture of Che,the revolutionary communist leader and other leaders,their messages etc are examples for utilizing opposite symbols for marketing products.It means even a negative symbol can provide a positive output in market economic and advertorial strategy.

Latest example for this marketing strategy is of Mahatma Gandhi. 'Mahatma' is not only a symbol of anti-imperialist movement,but also a brand name.Being a writer and journalist penned his messages.He used a fountain pen for several years and utilised every space in a paper with keen attention.Pen and paper never used as luxury but a most wanted tool to propagate his own ideals.The newly introduced brand 'Mahatma' is a pen.the pen costs Rs.14 lakhs only!!German pen makers Mont Blanc is 'influenced by Mahatma Gandhi's Dandi march in 1930 to protest against the British Salt Tax'.The 241 mile March's influence is reproduced by the pen makers by making only 241 pieces to distribute all over the world.The father of Nation holding his trademark-Lathi-is imprinted on the 18 carat gold nib of each and every pieces.A capitalist thirsty man's honour to the great personality!

Besides the 'Mahatma' brand,there is also the Mahatma Gandhi Limited Education 3000 fountain pen available for Rs1.7 Lakhs and a roller ball point pen for Rs1.5 Lakhs.

Hello Gandhi lovers,come and unite.Buy a pen.declare your sympathy and empathy to the grate leader.You can also present it to the near and dear ones or intimate guests.Hurry up.This is the only way we have to proclaim your 'divine' adoration and integrity to the Mahatma because Congress and its followers already showcased their Gandhian principles,ideologies and values.Otherwise the situation never will be like this.No makers will not be courageous to imprint such a brand name and image.At least they cannot import and market it in India;The India under congress lead ministry and regime.
