Dichotomy

A couple of radio commercials are on air these days which are very interesting in the context of their content and with respect to the present social atmosphere around. One of them describing through the voice of a girl child, the good deeds of present BJP led Government and how it has changed the country to a happy one! The second one, on the other hand, is requesting citizens through various celebrities, about anger management. It’s very rhetorical in the context that there is a palpable feeling of irate amongst the citizens which are being vented out often in various shapes. From the ruckus amongst local train passengers to the quarrel of neighbourhood, everyone seems to be perturbed, angst, frustrated and unhappy. More often than not, this kind of ruckus including personal vendetta is being flagged with political patronization. When BJP came into power, they traded dream of a utopian India. People of India, with a view to change for better future, entrusted their full support to BJP to run the nation.

 

With passing time, the dream of utopian India seems to be fizzling out so fast that identifying the peril it will beget in the next election, BJP leadership taking refuge of these kind of dichotomous propaganda. I mean one hand you are boasting about your good deeds (!) and on the other hand, using celebrity faces as sprinkler to sedate the palpable ire in the citizens. If, livelihood of commoners has changed for better and they are happy with their life, why should they indulge into ruckus? It is because, their angst & suppressed anger against the happenings around entwined with Government’s so called ”pro-people” policies (turning  out to be catastrophic rather than Redemptive ) are trying to find their way out. ‘Unity in Diversity’ – the long preserved virtue associated with Indian culture is getting seriously threatened by vigilantism.  Prices of essential commodities are on the rise. The huge number of human resource are looking up to nation’s leadership for job and getting dejected day in day out.

 

It seems that branding was done perfectly, but the quality of the product failed to receive market acceptance.

Mithun Chakraborty – Bengal’s one & only universal DADA (Big Brother)

When the announcement for Shri Mithun Chakraborty’s news of being nominated for Dadasaheb  Phalke Award for his iconic contribution to Indian Cinema made public, being a Bengali and an ardent fan of the legendary actor, my first reaction was that no one could have been a better flag bearer as a human being to bring back golden days of Bengali Cinema. As announced by I&B Broadcasting Ministry of India on 30 th September 2024, the award was scheduled to be presented on 70 th National Film Awards Ceremony on 8 th October 2024. In middle and lower middle class Bengali community, the word ‘DADA’ , means big brother is uttered with great respect. Mithunda is a person, who earned this respect across the strata of the society and age barrier by his sheer integrity, hard work and humbleness. Today, Mithunda, is not only a film actor, anchor etc, but we look upto him as a brand for every facet of life beyond barrier of merely film acting only. Already, he has earned his respect pan ...

India And Her Malicious Neighbours

  Pakistan, as always, from its formative days has only had one point agenda, and that is to keep trying to disturb and disrupt our motherland. Despite being slapped time and again in their every malicious intention, they seem to be adamant that they will stop at nothing. All kind of atrocious activities, deception, deceit, falsehood, human right violation, patronising terrorist activity and eventually shameless denial of all proven offences seems to be in their social DNA. Day after day, they digging deep hole for their own country by trying to disturb our countries inner peace. Yet they do not have will to learn from history.   ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’ will be written in the history of mankind with a warning that there is no respite for the perpetrators involved in conspiracy against our motherland. Son & daughters of our soil will avenge them for sure. We have always believed and practised assimilation over destruction as our country’s strength. Unfortunately, Pakistan, ...

CAA-The Black Spot

Hit by protest against implementation of Citizens Amendment Bill (Citizens Amendment Act, now), West Bengal is writhing. Daily life has become immobile and the role of states’ administrative machineries has become questionable. Be it Rail & Road blockade, brainless destruction of public property or setting fire to trains & busses,    all sorts of vandalism are being showcased in different pockets of the state in the name of protest and instead of taking stern actions against those, state administration watching over as mere spectators is bound to raise eyebrows. If you interpret, after reading up to this point that I’m advocating in favour of this Act and thus voicing against protesters, it will be half truth. Problem with public pandemonium is that very easily sentiments take over from logic. Unfortunately, political intolerance in our country, across all party lines has become such that criticism is interpreted as opposition. CAA itself is deplorable since it direct...
