0 Kejriwal, Hazare slay the monsters this Dussehra

Kejriwal with Hazare
Kejriwal with Hazare

Today is the day when good triumphs over evil. Durga, having slain the buffalo demon Mahishasura is going back home, while Ravana is consigned to the flames. This year, adding a touch of the contemporary to the myths, there was the ritual burning of an FDI (foreign direct investment) Ravana as well.

Clearly, the Indian ethos has posited its right to the moral society by ruthlessly slaying the monster on every major festival, be it Holi, Diwali or Dussehra. But mythopoesis is dead. These cardboard iterations do not reverberate with the present political priesthood of our country, existing as tokens, while we perpetrate a system that merrily reiterates a completely opposite worldview—the powerful are always good and get to go scot-free. It is something that has been fomented by the systems in India for the last 65 years.

Even as it leaves a contented feeling among simple souls, there seems to be something primitive in this good vs evil trope, particularly when it is carried into the political and social narrative of our times. Arvind Kejriwal says let’s throw out all the corrupt politicians irrespective of which party they are in. Great. And then? Replace them with what he calls “aam aadmi”. But is there a guarantee that this mystic being will not get corrupted once he/she is in power. His original mentor Anna Hazare goes a step further and declares that he wouldn’t allow anyone with a sullied past into his Gandhian movement.

This is as close a “lakshman rekha” as we have ever seen in politics. There will be “good” people who have the right to canvass for votes and then there are the “evil” politicians all of whom need to be ostracized and banned from the political life of the country. Sadly, such divides don’t exist. There are no good people, nor evil ones. Ravana mastered the Vedas, the scriptures, and the arts of warriors (Kshatriyas). He was also an excellent Veena player. Would he have qualified for Kejriwal’s party?

In mature countries, there are systems that ensure people in public offices don’t go off track. And when they do, retribution is swift and sure. That is something our politicians have circumvented with extreme wiliness, and that because there haven’t been enough safeguards to prevent them from doing so. The best of men, and some women, exploited their position once they realized there was no price to be paid for doing so. Like Vikramaditya’s fabled throne, it has always been about the place and not the person.

In 1644, John Milton, the great English poet in his essay “Areopagitica” (ironically an appeal to Parliament to rescind an order to bring publishing under government control) wrote: “Good and evil we know in the field of this world grow up together almost inseparably…It was from out the rind of one apple tasted that the knowledge of good and evil, as two twins cleaving together, leaped forth into the world.”

Rituals are just another operatic divestment of guilt for those who insist on treating politics as some form of religion. Religion is, after all, a social response to insecurity and in our collective Faustian bargain we are trying to assuage this guilt day after day with symbolic assertions of the supremacy of good. Maybe if we stopped venerating the good so much and calling out unfairness that results only because of those able to wield power, we might yet get one strand of honesty back into our DNA. Festivals like Dussehra are ritualized safety valves that get by with ritual blood-letting in society, even as the issue of equality is never addressed except in the notional sphere. The street fests of Arvind Kejriwal and before that, of Anna Hazare, are more relevant as they pull out the rats from veiled “royal” precincts and ask for justice.

Britain's top diplomat in India met Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi on Monday, ending a ten-year lengthy chill in relations following a Gujarat riots. High commissioner James Bevan drove to the condition secretariat complex in Gandhinagar, together with a little delegation, and talked about greater economic ties throughout the 50-minute meeting.

Britain's move is viewed as an indication of the worldwide community starting to warm up to Narendra Modi, who had previously been refused visa by a number of nations, such as the US and United Kingdom, following the 2002 riots.

"Throughout the meeting, Modi, bearing in mind the many Gujarat origin people residing in United Kingdom, advised him to begin a workplace of deputy British high commission in Gujarat," the official statement released through the condition government stated.

A resource within the chief minister's office was cited with a news agency as explaining the meeting as cordial beginning, as both Modi and Bevan were interested in taking forward the ties.

Bevan told the main minister that they are conscious of abilities of Gujarat and it is people and the government was keen to determine and expand ties using the condition. On his part, Modi welcomed your decision of British pm David Cameron to bolster and develop relations with Gujarat.

Modi stated he appreciated foreign office minister Hugo Swire's statement with respect to the British government and it is individuals to develop relations using the condition. Modi extended an invite towards the British government to sign up in 'Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors' Summit. "The envoy has recognized the invitation," based on a condition government statement.

The main minister searched for UK's cooperation in global warming, infrastructure as well as for authentic guidance to students from Gujarat who want to study within the United Kingdom. He told the British delegation that there have been possibilities for British companies in projects like Gujarat Worldwide Finance Tech-city and port development. Modi presented a reminder for that British pm also to the going to dignitary - a Rogan painting by a painter from Kutch.

Following the meeting, when Bevan was requested exactly what the United Kingdom government was to achieve from 'rehabilitating' Modi, he stated, "this really is engagement with Gujarat in general and never an engagement with any single figure... I do not accept relative it is that we're rehabilitating Mr. Modi, this engagement isn't about endorsement. If we have to build relationships some condition, we have to build relationships the main minister and Mr Modi may be the democratically chosen leader of Gujarat."

But he accepted that re-engaging with Gujarat was at UK's trade interest. In answer an issue on whether United Kingdom will grant visa to Modi, Bevan stated, "This can be a hypothetical question as Mr. Modi hasn't requested any visa. We cope with the visa problem if this pops up on situation to situation basis".

Though the choice to re-build relationships Modi comes just in front of set up polls, Bevan searched for to eliminate the concept it might work around the poll outcome.

0 'Skyfall' action clip: Mission Impossible catches his train in fashion

Skyfall
Skyfall
Probably the most Bond-ian moment within the trailer for Skyfall was the scene where Daniel Craig’s 007 advances onto a moving train after its roof continues to be scammed, lands squarely on his two ft while people gawk… after which comfortably changes his cuff links before returning to his chase of some baddie. Oh, James, nobody will it better.

Today, to celebrate Mission Impossible Day around the 50th anniversary from the premiere of Dr. No, fans can glimpse at a bit more of this action sequence prior to that train jump. The villain he’s chasing after is on the top from the passenger vehicle. Bond steamrolls some Volkswagen Bugs and digs the CAT’s shovel in to the train’s roof, giving him a dent. And Naomie Harris drives alongside, searching concerned. Obviously, when the trailer will be thought, she’ll soon play a vital role in Bond moving away from the train - hard way.
