Cows And Crows

                            The environment is right and time elapsed over last manufactured protest is long enough for the crows of intellectual mafia to gather and further their propaganda . Masquerading as free thinkers, the motley crew of thugs are out in numbers for chest beatings and with their usual ruing over increasing intolerance or cramping space for rationalists added to it the selective outrage over violent skirmishes between cattle smugglers and cow vigilantes . Working relentlessly to create a viscous environment by trying to sow the seeds of disillusionment among Muslims while encouraging them to create mayhem as they are projected under attack is the new propaganda to hoodwink the gullible from their actual target of blemishing government, if in the process seeds of sedition are sowed by corrupting young minds so be it. These thugs are selective in their outrage and harp on to the same ideology and agenda of polarizing society as the radical religious outfits of our country from all shades .
                             They make you feel their voices are scuttled but you ask them to provide facts and all you hear is the same disgusting stuff from these intellectuals about certain news by section of media regarding selected lynching incidents . Here I am not debating about the severity of the crime or why the perpetrators roam scot free , my grudge is why our fake intelligentsia only crib over selected violent incidents while oblivious to gory incidents of violence where victims are Hindus? Don’t Hindu community deserve to be protected or comes under the ambit of human rights or there’s segregation of rights too in the minds of this intelligentsia club(I believe we still remember the famous headlines during Congress days where it was shamelessly espoused that minorities had first right over country’s resources , subtly asking majority to go and drown themselves in Arab Sea). These fake thinkers (JNU, naxal sympathizers etc.) refuse to believe in pragmatic realities on the ground and are unperturbed about the toxic environment they are creating by unleashing their venomous ideology .
                               Emboldened by the support offered by section of media ,dubious NGO’s and fake intellectuals of questionable credentials these tamasha protests are only going to increase as the election year 2019 approaches . Its idiotic to take their campaigns seriously, their major grudge is the victory of party despite their best efforts around the country the party they despise the most. One allegation these people don’t stop blabbering is the attack on Muslims in BJP ruled states while shamelessly cite incidents of Bengal or Bihar or Karnataka (remember when PM was abused while elderly nun in Bengal was raped). Firstly the attack or killing of people in the name of cow protection is unacceptable but isn’t the victims were criminals who were breaking the law by exporting or killing cows, while trampling the religious sentiments of Hindus ? Isn’t the same torchbearers silent or even tacitly supporting the gruesome attacks on Charlie Hebdo by propagating not to offend religious sentiments of Muslims, while serving sermons to Hindus on fundamental rights when certain section of minority consciously spoof at Hindu customs and religion  in the name of right to speak or defending eating habits . These crows even raised fears of losing heritage of Lucknow while what local government did was closing down of illegal abattoir houses on environmental and health concerns .
                               The violent incidents of cow vigilantes is deplorable but equally disgusting is to smuggle cows, mocking religious sentiments by uploading videos of butchering cows. My only grievance is why no voices are heard or arguments raised on ease with which cattle smugglers continue this trade. Why media that breaks the cardinal rule of otherwise not revealing the identity of cow smugglers and accused go into hibernation and never or reluctantly reveal the identity when victims are Hindus. Why is their duplicity in covering crimes ? Doesn’t such hypocrisy encourage the cattle smugglers in first place as every criminal activity gets shielded in the name of minority under threat tag. Why these crows openly spoof at religious sentiments of Hindus ? Why there’s so much intolerance towards Hindu religion , revered symbols and its followers ? In the name of FOE why the motley crows only target Hindus while playing the victimhood card when confronted .
                              There’s another funny aspect to this melodrama , some of these crows are active PETA warriors and frown at slightest inhuman treatment meted to dogs or other pets.These crows won’t stop sermonizing on human treatment to animals in chemical testing or otherwise and rightly so but sacrifice of animals on Eid or cow slaughter is conveniently ignored guess these animals are of lesser gods then cats and dogs.
                           In all this rage ,violence ,demonstration one thing is crystal clear ,these bunch of intolerance brigade and their cheerleaders are going to manufacture more such irrelevant protests as the election year draws closer. One reason is the hatred of the people who control section of media and pseudo intellectual establishment of India towards incumbent government . They couldn’t digest the idea of a BJP running the government and unprecedented success of BJP in states elections . When they can’t scuttle the successful campaigns of nationalists , they undermine the governance by raising the bogey of intolerance ,lynching etc to discredit and plunder image of government . These campaigns are not new and are likely to continue for some time . The political opponents and their cohorts are imposters and are masquerading as torchbearers of civil society which we should be wary of and shouldn’t fall for the propaganda of thugs.
                               It is undeniable that a section of Hindus now gets agitated quickly over provocative incidents and violently retaliate but equal truth is the unprecedented coverage and hoopla created by selective reporting by media . The hysteria created by media when victims were Muslims is known but mischievously downplays it when Prashant Poojary or Arun Mahaur were butchered by cattle smugglers or  Brig Jagdish Gagneja(retd) or DSP Ayub Pandith and scores of BJP workers in Kerala, WB etc.  are killed .Violence perpetrated by hooligans is a despicable act and should be condemned but so is the act of hurting religious sentiments and equally deplorable is the one eyed narrative of intellectual mafia.
                             Cow vigilantes and smuggling of cattle is a law and order problem not a communal problem and steps should be taken to enforce laws effectively rather conceding space to crows to play with the fabric of country.

Logan Review

                             Its the final chapter in X Men series , its about saying bid adieu to seventeen years of Wolverine journey of splendid breathtaking performances we are all accustomed to . This movie is unlike any other X-Men movie and is raw, emotionally draining while giving best possible unique compassionate sendoff to its central character ‘Logan’ and yes, your eyes do betray your resolve and get moist when Hugh Jackman eventually fights and succumbs after his chosen last battle.
                             Unlike any other X Men movie, this movie starts with Logan being robbed and beaten by bunch of hooligans while he struggles to shrug them off . He is old, has lost his healing power and draws his claws slowly a sorry figure as compared to old days . The year is 2029, he is hiding near Mexican border with Charles Xavier who is old and has lost his power to control his mind and thus branded WMD by government . Soon you realize the idea was the two wanted to remain aloof from civilians and die in oblivion but the turmoil in their life occurred as a female approached Logan to drive a young mutant girl to safety. The movie took a violent turn (brutally violent with claws stabbing face and heads chopped off, arms ,legs amputated in rough raw ways with blood oozing) as the young mutant is vulnerable to band of mercenaries who are out to capture or kill mutants like her. The responsibility to take the girl to safety rests on Logan who soon realized the relationship he had with her, thus drawn into one final battle, this time to save his daughter.

                                    The final act by Hugh Jackman surely is worthy of watching , undoubtedly this Wolverine will be greatly missed . He did full justice to his role and excelled in acting skills which is noteworthy. One can easily enjoy watching it for raw action and superb storytelling, a must watch for all wolverine fans after all its the end of one of the iconic super hero.
