Rambling Gasbag Judges

If the Head of the govt constantly talks nonsense, then it gives a license to all others in high positions too to talk nonsense. It is now a regular pattern for PM Narendra Modi to talk nonsense without any real meaning. It is also a regular pattern to almost daily go to some place and do a ribbon-cutting and then give a worthless 30–40-minute rehearsed-teleprompter speech. A poorly educated dodo now believes he is the ultimate Gyani who can lecture Indians on almost anything. Most of Modi’s utterances are illogical and stupid as these ones:

Those who want to pursue a career anyway don’t rush to get married. Most of the women getting married at the current legal age are those who are not interested in pursuing further studies or a career. It is stupid to assume everyone is academically bright. Modi wasn’t academically bright but did make it to PM. If some do, they still do it after marriage. This moronic logic, though, doesn’t apply to Muslim girls who can marry the moment they attain puberty or 15, 16 any age according to court rulings. But Modi funds their education and marriage. Tribals are also excluded from such marriage laws. So, who is this stupid proposal for? Then, the village bumpkin frequently peddles unnecessary lies like using digital camera and email in 1988. When you lie all the time, you start believing those lies. It’s a mental disorder Modi suffers from, including all his fake childhood suffering and poverty and Chaiwalla stories while his family feeds Abbas and funds his education.

But Modi is a politician. He can set new standards of nonsensical blabber every day. What is it with judges of Supreme Court that drives to make some of the dumbest comments? It’s hard to understand how these blabberers got to such high posts without basic common sense. This is CJI Ramanna:

What’s to brag about being independent? The truth is, Judges are accountable to no one. They are a law unto themselves. Independent is NOT a substitute for "INCOMPETENCE". Indian judiciary is full of malice, full of inconsistency in all their judgements, right from bail to commuting death sentence. It’s the worst judiciary of any democracy. There are many cases where bail was given for serious crimes like rape but simply posting something on FB against a politician gets bail refused (Ketaki Chitale got bail after a month).

Secondly, why should the common man learn the language of the court? Is everyone going to court every day? And then CJI Ramanna refers to marriage and claims most do not understand the mantras. They are not supposed to. Ordinary people don’t rote-learn marriage rituals and mantras. Marriage is not a daily event. If they don’t understand something, the priest always explains. I wonder what priests Ramanna met – some Thookiya priest? People also don’t understand medical language. People can’t read X-rays. The doctor always explains to them in simple language; whether it’s a simple problem or a major surgery. Most times people can’t even read a doctor’s prescription but they trust him. People trust doctors with their lives. People don’t trust judges and courts in the same manner.

Our judiciary has mostly lost respect among people but these judges living in ivory towers seem oblivious to realities. Such is the arrogance of judges, that a Madras HC judge grandly stated that the EC can be charged with murder for some elections held during Covid. Even in a worst situation such language for another Constitutional Officer of the highest level is simply intolerable. When the EC approached the SC to expunge the remarks, the SC refused. Such is the arrogance of judges that even the President had to intervene and caution them against their indiscretion:

The worst of the current lot of blabbermouths is none other than Justice Chandrachud. I often wonder if this guy wanted to be a judge or Raja Ram Mohan Roy. He has crowned himself the unauthorized social reformer and a social justice warrior. Judges should clearly stay away from blabbering what is in the domain of the govt of the day. All these voices from judiciary have suddenly found a spring under Modi. During Sonia’s regime they were not so vocal and mostly kept their tails between their legs. This latest burst of blabber from Chandrachud is alarmingly ignorant and misplaced to say the least:

Among other things he said, J Chandrachud wants a comprehensive anti-discrimination law to be passed for the private sector. And he delivers this lecture in England. He doesn’t have the brains to understand that discrimination is practiced by the govt in all govt institutions and other domains and doles. Private entities go more by merit and not discrimination. In fact, the biggest criminal act in India is that of the Constitution which permits Statutory Discrimination by castes and religions. And he also grandly claims India is moving from a Socialist Welfare state to a Market-Driven economy. This is absolute ignorance talking. Under Modi, welfare schemes, doles, free grains, free travel – everything is borne by the State for certain castes and religions. Modi is the biggest abuser of caste and religion and all his policies are not even Socialist – they are outright Commie. This is the La La Land that J Chandrachud lives in but keeps blabbering like he is some Sant Socialeshwar sent by Jesus to repair Indian society.

And there is worse. The judiciary itself runs like some Colonial private club with a metaphorical board “Indian dogs not allowed”. The practice of discrimination, nepotism and relatives of judges getting top jobs in the judiciary should put any democracy to shame:

This is typical of those who constantly want to lecture others but never want to look into their own clubhouse and how poorly it is being managed. I don’t believe J Ramanna when he claims “Judiciary is independent”. Judges are often pally with top lawyers and it’s often not the merit of the case but who the lawyer is that determines the outcome. Think about that case where Teesta Setalvad was given bail through video conferencing because Kapil Sibal could force the judges. Would a common man with a not so famous lawyer get the same benefit? NO! Salman Khan was convicted of the road rage murder. Within hours he got bail to appeal. I believe Harish Salve made an appearance in that case. So, what independence? Show me the lawyer and I will show you the judgement is often practiced. And the dumb minister of Modi, Kiren Rijiju, wants more SC/ST judges. For what? Just for the heck of it?

The judges and Modi are all giving statements and making tweets covertly suggesting Reservations in the private sector. Just imagine how dangerous it is to recruit an SC/ST person. Anyone of them could file a bogus case against you or your colleagues at your workplace and have you arrested. In fact, the situation has gone so bad that one must check the caste of the person before any interaction. This horrible SC/ST law is a criminal offence other Hindus simply because they are upper castes. The number of bogus cases filed will alarm you:

Over a couple of SC rulings, Youtuber Ajeet Bharti trashed the SC and the judge community severely. He has accused them of bribery, nepotism, biased in cases depending on top lawyers, favouritism and abuse of power. All of it is true and I agree with the allegations. In return, the AG has approved contempt proceedings against him.

In the movie “Philadelphia” Tom Hanks is fired because of Aids. His lawyer Denzel Washington (Joe Miller) makes a fantastic statement to the Judge who tells him the courtroom has no prejudices. Read the dialogue and watch the video (24 secs):

Judge Garrett: In this courtroom, Mr. Miller, justice is blind to matters of race, creed, color, religion, and sexual orientation.

Joe Miller: With all due respect, your honor, we don't live in this courtroom, do we?

Our SC judges often like to quote the US justice system or quotes from their rulings and judges. This is from a 2015 issue of dealing with the death sentence. And here is what the judge, the late Antonin Scalia, said. Our SC judges must always remember that they live in gated bungalows with high security and are getting disconnected with realities of life. They recently commuted the death sentence of a rapist-murderer of a young girl quoting “Every sinner has a future” (Of course, the quote was of Oscar Wilde who was himself found to be a pedophile):

While freedom of expression should not be curtailed, the grand judges of SC stunted and curtailed the freedoms of Sudarshan TV and its editor Suresh Chavahanke over his expose of the “UPSC Jihad” scam. This UPSC Jihad report is not misplaced. Modi govt has pushed more Muslims into IAS services through compromises and the minorities minister even brags that more Muslims are into IAS under BJP than during the Congress rule.

Judges blabbering about anything and everything so frequently naturally leads to suspicions about their personal prejudices and biases in their rulings. You cannot merely wear a black gown and pretend you have thrown all your prejudices aside. The person outside and the person in court are the same. These prejudices definitely affect the outcomes of many cases. Judges too must go through a psychological test and screening for prejudices. The US SC judges are not appointed without a screening by their Congress. In India, this Colonial Club with all their prejudices dispense justice. Their Collegium system is a great miscarriage of justice.

Modi Heaps Shame On India

Events that seem innocuously unconnected are often deceptive and not visible in plain sight. This is exceptionally true in international politics and trade. One must painstakingly connect various dots, create a hypothesis, impart believable logic to it to make it acceptable. We will come to this later.

In May 2019, PM Narendra Modi got the mandate for a second term, a bigger one than the first in 2014. It was a justified mandate as after the UPA rule the BJP deserved a second term to consolidate what it aimed to do. The first term was okay except for quite a few blunders. But voters forgive blunders if you appear sincere; especially if the options are poor. We know Modi to be an egomaniac right from his Gujarat days and that continued as PM on a low key. However, this ego and lipstick-chasing got dramatically enlarged as he got a bigger mandate in 2019. He believed he was now King. This is what happened when Modi stepped up to take his Parliamentary oath on June 17, 2019 (Video: 20 secs):


The 302 idiots of BJP started shouting “Modi, Modi, Modi” like those half-naked cheer girls at some sporting event or at an election rally. That stupid behaviour was lost on most people. Still, Modi didn’t turn around and wave them to stop. He enjoys such brainless adulation and sycophancy. This has been his worst undoing. While claiming to be a humble “fakir” Modi has all the trappings of a village boy who became King with classy suits and even Kashmiri shawls hanging around his shoulders in summer. Modi hugged diplomats and played like he was the Big Boss in the international arena. In a joint radio address with Obama in 2015, Modi kept referring to the US President simply as “Barrack” as if they were both “Chaddi friends” in school.

There is not one minister or member of BJP at the Centre or State who don’t start their stupid messages with “Under the inspirational leadership of Modi” or “Under the guidance of Modi”. It’s almost as if all the CMs and Ministers of BJP are brainless idiots who cannot think on their own and can’t execute anything without Modi coming in their dreams to guide them. The worst bootlickers are useless ministers like Smriti Irani who grandly imply that just because Modi walked down the stairs ahead of other leaders at a QUAD meet, he is the one showing the way. Laughable clowns. All this Vishwaguru nonsense has been stretched a bit too far. But Modi loves it, that’s why he doesn’t tell these jokers to stop this worthless sycophancy.

Modi did not leave one stone, one tablet or one inauguration to anyone in his Cabinet or party. He wants his name on everything in the country. He didn’t even spare milk plants and goods trains. Such is his obsession. Of course, his sidekicks brokered many awards for him across the world, especially from Islamic countries. I know of at least six Muslim countries that have bestowed awards on Modi:

That collar that hangs around Modi’s neck has a price. Modi had to please his Islamic masters all the time and he thought he finally had them in his pocket and washed his taint of “Anti Muslim” (though the Muslims in India continued to hate him and some even wanted to eliminate him). The UAE Collar compelled Modi to allow UAE to mediate between India-Pakistan and he has practically sold Kashmir to them. This thread of folly in Modi is evident in all his equations. He called Obama by first name, then pranced around with Xi Jinping and thought Xi was his best friend. China kicked him at Galwan and since that incident Xi and Modi are hardly on talking terms. International politics is all about business and security. No individual is a real friend. But Modi is a “Bhola” from a village who took things for granted.

As the Gyanvapi Shivling episode got wider publicity, there were Muslims abusing the Shivling or calling it a fountain and mocking it. Whatever that may be. One of BJP’s popular spokie, Nupur Sharma, somewhat of a firebrand responded to one such mockery with the life of Mohammad, the one the Muslims consider a Prophet. In a counter argument on TV, she forcefully stated Mohammad married 6-year-old Ayesha and consummated that marriage when she was 9. There is absolutely nothing untrue in what she said and this a fact accepted by Muslims worldwide and known across the globe. Geert Wilders of Netherland, who has been fighting Islamic extremists all his political life joined and confirmed what Nupur had said to be true:

Typical reaction came from the stupid among the Muslims. They started shouting Nupur had abused Mohammad, committed blasphemy and she started receiving death threats. The issue also resulted in the usual Friday violence at Kanpur on June 3 where Hindu shops and establishments were attacked. There were also other agitations where the Muslims shouted their highly educated chant of “Sar tan se juda” (Sever the head from the body). As soon as this caught fire, some Islamic countries joined in. They started condemning India. It probably started with Qatar and then the others joined in. This widespread condemnation from Islamic countries rattled Modi. He has been a coward whenever there has been a crisis – CAA, Shaheen Bagh, Delhi riots, farmer blockades for over year and targeted killings of Hindus in Kashmir. Each day some Islamic country now joins this silly rant:

Even Maldives which is tinier than a bikini has joined the gang. And you have Afghanistan ruled by terrorists. Remember, of these countries, Saudis, UAE and Bahrain have tied a Collar around Modi. It must finally dawn upon Modi that they don’t give a crap about him if they feel offended even over some imaginary nonsense. By the way, it is in this little Maldives that Modi made a first major decision of his 2nd term to spend money and human resources to renovate their Friday Mosque. That should tell you how poor Modi is in judging where to spend our money and who is a real friend:

Predictably, Modi and his cowards of the govt folded under pressure of these Islamic bullies. They suspended Nupur Sharma and Naveen Jindal from the party membership. The Qatar Ambassador of India wrote an apology letter even calling the two BJP members “Fringe elements”. The erudite EAM Dr S Jaishankar went absolutely quiet. Just a couple of days ago he was trashing Europe on the independent policies of India and that India cannot be dictated to anymore. All that came crumbling. A coward at the top of the heap brought shame to India by simply succumbing to bullies. Nupur Sharma had said nothing untrue and nothing that the Muslims themselves don’t acknowledge.

Cowardly Modi failed to tell the Islamic countries that India is a democracy unlike their countries. That India has free speech unlike their suppressed ghettos. That if there is any violation of free speech laws, Indian law enforcement will take care of it and it is not the business of any foreign country to intrude or intervene. That India has more religious freedom than all these Islamic bullies put together and they have no moral right to lecture India. All these could have been said in more polite words than mine with a small line to assuage even imaginary hurt. But all Modi did was heap shame on India by buckling under pressure to a gang of Islamic bullies. The next day he was frowning and had a scowl on his face like a man whose bottom had been smacked. All his chest-thumping, all his friendships with ME countries, all his Collars, all his fakery came tumbling down. A giant like India was forced to capitulate to a bunch of stupids. Character and courage are tested only in a crisis and Modi showed he has neither. He threw his own to the wolves to please a shouting crowd of bullies. And he threw India to the wolves. SHAMEFUL!

Now, let’s go back to the first para and read the lines again: “Events that seem innocuously unconnected are often deceptive and not visible in plain sight”. Many claim that the Islamic outrage was sparked by some Pakistani handles and the threats against Nupur Sharma instigated by some fact-checker called “animal”. But on the same day or a day before the US released a report slamming India for its “attacks on religious minorities”. This is nonsense but an annual ritual the US undertakes:

The timing is important. It comes at a time when India refused to support the US stand on Russia Vs Ukraine. The US was naturally angered but didn’t show it publicly. Most of these Islamic countries are heavily influenced by the US through the CIA and their arm twisting. The US saw the best opportunity to use the Nupur Sharma incident to slam India across the Islamic world and shame Modi and shame India. Therefore Jaishankar, who spoke so boldly a few days ago, went quiet when the Islamic bullies started their rants. One cannot be 100% sure but the theory is plausible. It is not Pakistan; it is the US that has had its revenge against India by shaming Modi internationally over a Mohammad-comment. This was even more reason for Modi to not fold up and buckle under. But then character and courage were never his strength. Modi must now stop all the sycophancy from his idiotic ministers and members and understand that there are no real friends in international politics. There endeth the lesson.
