Bollywood Psychotic Fringe

The territorial structure of the Mafia is simple. There is a Boss, there are “MadeGuys” and there are “Wiseguys”. Boss is easy to understand. ‘MadeGuys” are those formally sworn into the family or the gang who could become future bosses. They are like Captains and each MadeGuy has a crew. The Wiseguys are the foot-soldiers. The Boss usually doesn’t kill. The MadeGuys can kill anyone anytime except the Bosses and MadeGuys from other territories. The Wiseguys cannot kill anyone unless there is an order or there is an unexpected firefight. In all the cases, even difficult situations, they are to avoid killing cops.

Between the MadeGuys and the Wiseguys there are 3 types of workers. 1) The first refuses to kill but will undertake all other illegal activities. 2) The second type will kill when ordered as a routine task to be performed like in your office. 3) The third type are the most dangerous – the psychotic ones who are itching to kill anyone and will do so at the slightest opportunity. The Mafia has no hassles with all this as they believe this is their method of justice-delivery. There are rules. Mafia never kills people in front of their family, especially not in front of their family women. The killings are usually in public places like traffic signals, restaurants, barber shops or toll-booths.

In the movie “Jack Reacher” Tom Cruise explains 4 reasons why people join the army. 1) Patriots who want to serve the country… 2) Those who just need a job… 3) Family tradition and 4) Those who want a legal means to kill others. The military is quite often a visible kind of action with measurable outcomes. There are heroes and there are fallen heroes. The last category is the most dangerous. They might up end up killers even after they leave the army or don’t get enough of a kill. They could turn out to be psychotic killers. The Bollywood Mafia follows a similar pattern of service. 1) Those who seek a career in films and want to succeed with performance… 2) Family business so the kids and their kids end up in the movies and 3) Those who desperately seek fame and money whether they have talent or not. The only difference being, the army is a very disciplined outfit and has stringent recruitment procedures and training. Bollywood is not subject to any rules but can easily follow the Mafia practices I explained in the first para (without any killings).

It is not very hard to recognise the psychotic fringe in Bollywood. It is generally made up of a bunch of has-beens and a bunch of struggling newbies. For the has-beens like Shabana Azmi or Nandita Das there are about a few roles here and there and they suffer a psychological drain of not being in the limelight. The best option therefore is to jump into any and all idiotic political or social issues with little or no concern for facts or little knowledge about issues. Well, I don’t expect Bollymorons to possess high IQs but a bit of common sense is not excessive to expect. So, you will find Shabana, Nandita, Sonali Bendre, Jaya Bachchan and Kareena Ali types in the middle of many fake agitations. This one below is from the train incident where a guy called Junaid was killed and they all danced around about “beef”:

Behavioural science has established that serial killers world over, when released, escape or paroled, they go and commit the same crime again. As a consequence, the US has passed a law against parole for serious crimes. Jaya Bachchan, despite being a law maker, whined about the jail sentence to Salman Khan in the BlackBuck case. While she has every right to comment on it, her statement that he’s a do-gooder so he should have been given “relief” is moronic. That there should be no punishment is typical of a Mafia Boss who wouldn’t bat an eyelid over his Wiseguy executing a kill order. These has-beens of Bollywood live in a LaLa land of their own where no laws apply to them it seems.

Then the ever-whining lot of Shabana and Nandita and their likes simply hold an extreme hatred for PM Modi and consequently for India. They think this country is pits for whatever reason. That stupid Nandita even asked if she could live in India with her kid if Modi becomes PM. To my knowledge, she has still not left. So, this psychotic fringe of the older variety jumps into everything without any real cause but just to be in the forefront of “politically killing Modi”. That kill is their desperate psychotic desire. The Junaid episode turned out wrong and so did their stupid #Notinmyname nonsense. From the fake church attacks to nun rapes to “semen-filled balloons” the whole thing has been a series of deliberate concoction. But the desire to “politically kill Modi” is a psychotic desire that drives these has-beens. Otherwise, there is nothing in their lives to really celebrate. Tirade against Modi and against Hindu festivals. Having lost real celebrity-hood, the next best thing is a political-kill that will satisfy their political blood-lust.

Bollywood has been driven by the underworld since mid-1970s. As for sleaze and crime, there is an abundance of it in Bollywood from casting couch, selling bodies for breaks and even murder. Gulshan Kumar of T-series was murdered. No outrage, no demand for justice. You don’t need to be Einstein to guess why Gulshan (the first assembly-line music producer) was killed. Divya Bharti, all of 19, a successful actress was married to Sajid Nadiadwala and converted to Islam and became “Sanah”. She fell of the 5th floor of her building and died in 1993. No outrage, no demand for justice. Case closed as “accident”. Jiah Khan committed suicide in 2013 and Sooraj Pancholi was arrested. The only evidence is circumstantial as he was in the apartment the same day. Manmohan Desai fell off his balcony and died because the railing cracked. No investigation – accidental death. I can go on and on. The virulent disease of “casting couch”, in other words “sex for favours” is still prevalent:

Amitabh Bachchan once decided to boycott the media in the late 1970s and never gave interviews for a long time. He rode to the top on his own talent and didn’t need the media to promote him. But the “Jennies-cum-lately” in Bollywood and other Kolly, Tolly, Mollywoods have found a new way of finding instant fame and money in the new tech, net and SM world. They have found that mouthing silly stuff gets more attention and money than film roles. Add to that, the outrage business without thinking twice (I doubt they can think at all, though) be it Junaid, Semen-balloons or in the latest episode – Asifa. Out they come armed to the teeth with all their stupid placards like a box of parrots:

I don’t really know the names of all these people. I know some names like Huma, Swara Bhaskar, Sonam Kapoor. These are “Fringe” actors who haven’t really found great success in movies. Some males too. If you asked them anything about Asifa or rape issues in Bollywood or elsewhere, I’m sure they wouldn’t know a damn thing. This is another psychotic fringe group which has no real motive on social causes other than just jumping on to any idiotic bandwagon to seek a “publicity kill”. They are like a box of parrots and all of them will unintelligently carry the same placard. Obviously, I don’t believe these acts are for free. These are modern methods of “soft terrorism” on a political establishment they don’t like. That Swara Bhaskar, in particular, is known to outrage with weird screams of “Vagina Vagina Vagina” and recently also wanted to vomit on all the people. You don’t get any more psychotic than wanting to vomit on many people. That is a soft “mass murder” with the vomit. That is psychotic Bickle in “Taxi Driver” with weapons wanting to kill everyone and clean up New York.

Of these, Kareena Ali and Sonam Kapoor appear more twisted. Kareena has named her son Taimur, one of the biggest mass murderers in history and Sonam’s father Anil Kapoor had gladly supported rape-accused Shiny Ahuja and made him “feel comfortable” on the sets. Obviously, these women do not possess the intelligence to understand the stupidity of the irony. And these Bollywood fringe elements of low level success or outright failures go on a rampage only when a victim is Muslim and the suspect is a Hindu. They have also been brainwashed to dance in love for everything Paki.

In the 1950s, in the US, kids and teens used to walk around downtown streets with billboards wrapped around them and earn pocket money. It was a common way of advertising for small, local businesses. Even now, higher end products or events use that medium. As with them, these Bollywood actors probably aren’t doing it for free. And the herd mentality displaying scripted “advertisements” with tricky usage of “Hindustan” and demands for “justice” for this or that when their own miserable, role-less life is in a quandary with uncertainties explains their psychotic behaviour with no concern for truth, lack of belief and utter contempt for ordinary people. Sooner or later, they will even be tempted to walk around an area or online platform with the most horrible and life-threatening message as Bruce Willis was forced to do in one of the “Die Hard” movies in a predominantly Black area:

The desperate desire to exploit the unfortunate death of a child, or of anyone murdered, is one of the most despicable traits of some people. This is even worse when the whole purpose of the exploitation is nothing but a psychotic “self-promotion” exercise. The truth about Asifa is yet to come out in full. I am sure when it does, it will be quite different from the way the vultures have been painting it now. But what the hell, since we are about it, why not sing a song too? So, suddenly some part-Bollywood personality, Jacqueline Fernandez, that I am not very familiar with, even strings up a song for Asifa. She may be honest with her words but all this “orchestrated” nonsense is perfect for the psychotic fringe.  

Seniors in Bollywood have burned their fingers and learned some lessons. Amitabh Bachchan dabbled in politics and found he’s better off with movies. Shahrukh Khan learned his lessons with the intolerance crap. Aamir Khan too has learned his lessons from his fake Narmada and intolerance campaigns. These stars have much at stake and a backlash from the public can cost them a lot. The psychotic fringe has NOTHING TO LOSE. They are just lurking around with their placards and wardrobe for another round of fake outrage opportunity and to get their “publicity drug fix” and do the hula-hoop again. Somewhere the Mafia Boss is sitting in waiting too. He or she is waiting for the opportunity to order these Bollywood “Wiseguys” on the fringe to go on another mindless, brainless rampage.

Slavery By Any Other Name

Sometime last year I wrote the post “Independence not the same as freedom”. While we are an independent nation some have still willingly chosen slavery over freedom. In the US, where slavery was legal for long, some believed slavery is neither sinful nor immoral, was natural and inevitable. Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery in the 19th century. In India there are still many who find slavery a natural and inevitable state of mankind. People are still called Nawabs or Rajas, Begums or Ranis, by a slavish media. The ones who set the worst examples are actually from public life. Here is an extract of the speech from the video I carried in that post last year by former US president John Adams:

This is a recent issue (of the Executive Review, from President’s office), and there's an article in here written by a "keen mind of the South," … who asserts that:

"There has never existed a civilized society in which one segment did not thrive upon the labor of another. As far back as one chooses to look -- to ancient times, to biblical times -- history bears this out. In Eden, where only two were created, even there one was pronounced subordinate to the other. Slavery has always been with us and is neither sinful nor immoral. Rather, as war and antagonism are the natural states of man, so, too, slavery, as natural as it is inevitable."

Now, gentlemen, I must say I differ with the keen minds of the South, and with our president, who apparently shares their views, offering that the natural state of mankind is instead -- and I know this is a controversial idea -- is freedom. Is freedom! And the proof is the length to which a man, woman, or child will go to regain it, once taken. He will break loose his chains, He will decimate his enemies. He will try and try and try against all odds, against all prejudices, to get home.

It doesn’t take a wizard anymore to understand that ‘freedom’ is the natural state of mankind. So what makes some behave in an absolute slavish manner? “Blood” worker Salman Khurshid says Rahul Gandhi’s cameos aren’t enough and they need ideological direction from him. From Rahul Gandhi? Haha! “10 out of 7” times RG is not even in India as his Congress foot soldiers point out anonymously. Permanent sycophant Digvijaya Singh demands RG be given “decisive” responsibility, even PMship. In September 2012, Khurshid again asked people to expect an “exciting greater” role for RG. Then as recently as October 20, Rediff reported a makeover for RG: “Congress leaders are toying with several ideas to lift the morale of the party and the government. They are finding ways to make glamorous RG's much-talked about promotion”. A makeover? From what? To what? You can change his appearance a bit, here and there, but I doubt you can change the way RG thinks (if at all) and all his public utterances so far have been worse than a 3rd grader. No wonder Congressmen are disillusioned with him as various reports suggest. But still, to some of these people RahulG is the great white hope for India.

Even after royal titles and privy purses have been abolished our media can’t stop being slaves to so-called royalty. Be it a Saif-Kareena wedding or to the Dynasty itself. Home Minister Sushil Shinde is willing to “shoot to kill” if ordered by Sonia Gandhi. Salman Khurshid is “willing to die” for her. In the previous post I mentioned a Mungeri who equates SoniaG to Mother Teresa. What is wrong with all these people? I can understand Khurshid though. You see, he is steeped in history of Mughal durbars. He writes novels and plays on the Mughal kings and nawabs. Even so, one can forgive wanting to be a durbari but willing to die? Naturally, Arvind Kejriwal lampoons him and asks if Khurshid is India’s Law minister or Sonia’s Law minister. If they make a Die-Hard 5, there are many options in India to replace Bruce Willis.

Nothing, nothing though beats B. Raman. The man is supposedly a former intelligence bureaucrat from RAW. No, not all of them are the James Bond types, so don’t picture that image please. He has lately discovered that Priyanka Vadra (aka Gandhi) is probably the one saviour that India desperately needs. The pic is a stunning tweet from him (August 30). I can understand the NaMo and darkness part. For long, the Congress, the media, some NGOs and lately Raman, have painted Narendra Modi as ‘Rahu’ who gobbles up the sun during an eclipse. That part was easy. You know, NaMo is dark, from an OBC community, not of royal lineage, was a tea-vendor at one point and it’s disgusting that he can even be a successful CM. To the likes of Raman, no court, no SIT is authorised to declare NaMo innocent of any crime. Trust me, that part I get. But it does baffle me why a reasonably educated man would call PriyankaV brightness at night. I truly hope for Raman’s sake it has nothing to do with her fair skin that would radiate brightness even in power-less dark nights in the constituency she usually campaigns in. Reminder: “Slavery has always been with us and is neither sinful nor immoral..”.

Let’s assume Raman was just being poetic with his “brightness at night” tweet. But it’s not just a tweet, there are whole articles. He recalls the innocent childhood of Priyanka and Rahul on his blog. Ahem! In the book 'To Kill a Mockingbird' Harper Lee does say at the opening even "Lawyers were children once". Everyone was. I guess even Raman was. And this is not the first time he is raging. In an earlier post ‘Raman Rage’ I mentioned how he went berserk in his defence of Sonia Gandhi, Barkha Dutt and Sagarika Ghose. He went to the extent of calling those ridiculing them Jihadis, Extremists and Neo-Nazis. He is also on record calling NaMo supporters ‘Nazi storm-troopers’. Now where does such hatred come from?  He is known to be a great fan-boy of Barkha, which is fine and understandable. He lately dislikes NaMo or his work or policies. Fine too. Does that make others Nazis? The number of times he has called others Nazis is phenomenal. And then he feels offended if he’s called senile? That is quite a light insult compared to his frequent outrage and calling others Nazis. Never mind!

Let’s ask why Raman sees PriyankaV as a possible saviour of the nation. An opinion? Fine! But even if he is peddling a mere personal opinion that surely needs to be backed by some logic. There is nothing that PV has done or demonstrated that makes her the saviour when compared to many other individuals. There may be any number of such individuals within the Congress itself. But why Priyanka? Only one thing explains it; Slavery! Mindless, senseless slavery to a dynasty. He calls himself a ‘strategy analyst’! Surely, one has to be Ravi Shastri to see any strategic analysis behind Priyanka as saviour. That wasn’t the first time though. In June 2012 he came up with some astonishing absurdities. He recommended MMS be made President and Priyanka be made PM (see his letter to Sonia Gandhi). Isn’t this nation lucky? Promote a non-performing PM as President and promote a no-work, no-experience, no-performer as PM. Someone who isn’t even an MP yet. Logic? Slavery! How is it different from Laloo appointing his wife, Rabri, as CM? And we know what happened to Bihar, don’t we?

Now that the Robert Vadra land deals are more in the open Raman must feel a thousand eggs on his face. Of course, the argument might be put forth that Vadra may be involved in irregularities but Priyanka is still the brightness at night. This is the tragedy when slave mentality forces public figures to pick leaders for the nation without reason and without accountability. Raman even suggests Sonia panicked over Vadragate but Priyanka calmed her and the Congress. He must still be in the "intelligence" business or must be getting daily secret briefings from the Congress eaves droppers. We are yet to get past the MMS disaster. There is a big difference between admiration and slavery. Congress minister, Ramesh Bagwe, even carried RahulG's shoes to protect it from bombs. Take that!

People admiring Sonia Gandhi is one thing; they may have valid reasons. She has done and at least demonstrated a few things. But if mindless slavery is to determine the course and leadership of a nation then one need not write long letters and argue or try to pass slavish nonsense as logic. It’s any day more appropriate for such slavish minds to simply put out an ad like that Chennai dealer. All it takes is to say “Madamji at your feet”. This nation has been a slave to many forces in history. One would have expected intellectuals and public figures to ensure “never again”. Instead, evidence grows that these very intellectuals may well be the admirers and causes of slavery and they even love being slaves. Slavery by any other name still remains slavery, it can’t be cloaked with intelligent claptrap.
