Thought Policing

At the Nazi Concentration camps, Viktor Frankl (a doctor by profession) and other inmates went through endless and unbearable torture. Many of his colleagues in the camp withered away and died. With immense strength of his mind and love for life, Viktor survived. Whenever he was being tortured, Viktor would often think of halls at universities, where he or someone else taught poetry and literature. After WWII and his release Viktor wrote a profound book “Man’s search for meaning”. His endurance of the torture of the concentration camps is recognised as “pro-active” thinking when his control over his mind did not allow the torture to conquer him. It has led many insightful writes to state: “It’s not what happens to you, it’s how you respond to it that counts”. And Viktor Frankl responded to torture and suffering with great courage, an invincible mind and came truly came out a “victor”. A short summary from his book:

No amount of abuse, torture, violence or hatred can uproot a mind that is firm in its conviction. The worst that can happen is one will die – which is an uncertain certainty in any case. In Iran, there is a famous case in which a man was sentenced to death for “thought crimes”. One would wonder what exactly such a crime would be. His name is Youcef Nadarkhani:

What was his crime? Nadarkhani “thought” he was a Christian wrongly born into Islam. So, he finally converted and became a pastor. There were others arrested with him but were released. He was also offered the choice to return to Islam but he declined.  Nadarkhani was first arrested in 2006 and released and arrested multiple times. After many appeals and failures of prosecution, Nadarkhani was released in 2013 and is now a free man. He’s a lucky man.

Many have been executed in Iran and the Islamic world for apostasy. It is not strange that humans can be executed for merely thinking of a different pursuit to reach God or whatever they were trying to reach. Men make religions, men make stupid laws and rules too. The harsh truth, though, is that you CANNOT stop a person thinking from what he or she wants to think. You CANNOT stop a Vedika Chaubey of TheHindu chopping a 40sec video into 8secs and portraying a man saving a woman as her molester. You cannot stop her mind from thinking filth even in the Elphinstone stampede tragedy. You cannot stop a Suprateek Chaterjee of TheQuint wanting PM Modi dead. And the guy expressed it clearly on Twitter. Wanting someone dead is certainly filth. But you still cannot hang for merely thinking of wishing it. People have been burnt at the stake for thinking the earth is round or that it revolves around the sun. Most scientific discoveries were made through what would appear at first sight or hearing as idiotic or illogical or even blasphemy. And that is why we should be concerned when two lawyers peddle a case and argument for strangling and regulating social media to the SC:

 

Most judges, courts or even the Supreme Court don’t have a presence on SM. I am not sure the SC has an official Twitter account, though there is an unverified one. Consequently, our judges are often led by the whims, fancies and ill-conceived arguments by prominent lawyers who want to strangle the freedoms of ordinary people, crush their freedom to think and constantly want them policed. And how did this argument before the SC to regulate and strangle SM come about? That must the greatest of ironies:

 

The related case is one of Azam Khan of Samajwadi Party who abused victims of gang-rape calling it a “political conspiracy”. Is Azam Khan on SM? Did he make this vicious statement on Twitter or FB or some blog? No! He made it in public and reported by the MSM. And the SC knows all too well that politicians make more obnoxious and hate-filled statements collectively than ordinary people make on SM. From SoniaG to Diggy to that “Boti Boti” guy to Azam Khan, there is no dearth of abusive, filthy statements in politics. I cannot, though, recall anyone being sent to jail even when there are enough laws to prosecute them. So why does the SC want to express an intention to act on the frivolous claims by these fat-moneyed lawyers?

There are many of us who think often that some people should die and die soon. The moment I see the face of a terrorist or those loveable media-darlings that kill people, I want those guys to die. That’s a thought but it’s not a crime. And if I express in writing that I want such people dead. It is not a crime either. It would be a crime only if I acted upon my thoughts and carried out an unauthorised killing. Protracted court proceedings for known terrorists makes people they be killed in encounters rather than be tried. It’s a natural thought. Some of the worst abuses come not from ordinary folks but from the MSM crooks whose hatred is limitless for ordinary people, some ideologies and politicians, and even for SC judges:

Sunetra is over the moon to hear Modi has swine flu. She probably hoped he would die. Sagarika peddles vicious nonsense of Muslims being killed across the country. She also calls a judge a “Crackpot”. Sagarika has called Lord Ram a “Divine encroacher” in RJB. Has passed racist comments like all Indian males are ugly. Earlier, Sagarika was so agitated with the Allahabad HC judgement on Ayodhya, she called it a “Panchayati” judgement. In the bottom left pic, Priya Ramani of TheMint calls Lord Ram a D*** and Sita a C***! Our courts are blind to the consistently wanton abuse coming from those in the MSM.

So, who are these lawyers pointing to? Is this another political gimmick to bat for the “Sickular” parties to get them a toe-hold in power? After all, both Harish Salve and Fali Nariman are not known to be friends of BJP. Nariman, in fact, agitated for the corrupt NDTV when CBI raids were made on Prannoy Roy. Who ARE these people and what are they campaigning for? Everyone knows who dominates the SM. Therefore, it is fair to suspect which voices these lawyers want to strangulate the most.

Truth is, many of these abuses from MSM folks can be prosecuted under many laws. But people don’t keep running to cops or courts all the time like Prashant Bhushan does. I, for one, certainly do believe Bhushan’s Rohingya PIL should have been thrown out by the SC. But the SC judges having entertained it, we do not question them and let them take the time to deliberate and rule on it. The only persons consistently questioning judgements of various courts are not ordinary people. They are Commies from IndiraG to RajivG to the MSM in these days. In a sentence I have underlined in the TOI report pic above, the SC judge has surprisingly claimed people think the SC is on the side of the govt. This is hardly the case. The SC has consistently knocked down some anti-people law, like 66A and given rulings like the one Triple Talaq widely applauded by everyone. On the contrary, people have often viewed the SC and govt being in a confrontation mode over many issues. Far from judges or courts being seen as a “pro govt” there is rather an increasing sentiment of judicial overreach as seen in regular reports from the media:

Freedom of expression is essentially freedom of thought. The lawyers who are provoking the SC to strangle this by unspecified regulations in a casual manner is unfortunate and probably motivated. And they are invoking SM in a case where Azam Khan is accused of public proclamation and not something on SM. The rich, famous and powerful have the money to buy media, they have public and media platforms, they can express themselves or vent their anger on issues at the drop of a hat. Even cops and courts respond to them faster. The ordinary man doesn’t have all that luxury. Millions of them have taken to SM platforms to express themselves. If there are indeed racist, obnoxious or abusive content, there are also enough laws to punish such acts. The problem is not the laws or remedies, the problem is an over-burdened police force and judiciary that simply cannot respond to every offence, whether on the ground or in the air on the net. SM is power to the people as it should be in a good democracy:

You have a choice on SM to TURN OFF the voice, noise and text that you don’t wish to hear or see. Nobody can complain about being INVADED. The real “Thought invasion” and “Privacy invasion” happens on the ground and remains a nuisance for a vast majority of people. No court, no govt has shown the daring to completely ban and eliminate the early morning nuisance of Azaan. There are thousands of people complaining, some have gone to courts too. What right do these mosques have to invade people’s sleep and their thoughts? This is nothing short of IMPOSING a religion on to others who don’t subscribe to it. Anti-Azaan protesters (They are anti-Islamic too) had taken up a novel way of protesting in Denmark by playing the Azaan loudly outside the Mayor’s residence (Video 0.30 seconds):

You can watch the full report on Youtube. Judges, ministers and politicians live in protected areas where trespassers and noises are controlled by cops. The common man has to face this nuisance every morning, early morning and throughout the day for about five times. SM is not very different from the real world. It has good, bad, ugly and the evil too. Just as law applies to crimes on the ground, there are enough laws to prosecute crimes on SM. We have multiple elections coming up – Gujarat, Karnataka, Rajasthan, MP, Chattisgarh and leading up to LS2019. SM has proved to be a platform for campaigning for parties and for individual candidates. It has voices, opinions, propaganda and those feeling the threat are usually those fearing losses.

Those losing since 2014 didn’t learn – “It’s not what happens to you but how you respond that counts”. The Congress and Sickulars only responded with mud-slinging, slander, fake campaigns and abuses. And that is why some want to silence voices on the SM. Still, all said and done, courts often prescribe a model way of living, a model code of conduct for most aspects of life. Our courts have ruled in even social customs from Dahi Handi to Jallikattu and that has brought a great level of defiance from the public. I just had to reminded of a famous scene from “Philadelphia” – in the case where Tom Hanks is sacked from his job because he has AIDS:

 

That’s right! The laws exist for almost every imaginable crime. Our courts and judges may want the most ideal society that has no evil or crime in it. Such a thing has never happened in the history of mankind. Because the answer is simple – We don’t live in courtrooms. And thought policing is not a remedy anyone should resort to in a free democracy.

Godse No Terrorist

When I look back a few years I used to read some folks referring to Arvind Kejriwal as a modern-day Gandhi. We used to have a good laugh at the idea and mocked it. But now when I think of it I think it is not very wrong to imagine MK Gandhi being a lot like Arvind Kejriwal – Whimsical, stubborn, tantrum-throwing, no respect for own party members, principles or rules. MK Gandhi had the same “my way or highway” principle that Kejriwal had adopted for long. Kejriwal is a lot quieter these days having been schooled by Arun Jaitley. The good deeds of MK Gandhi may far exceed his sins but some of his sins have left deep wounds and far-reaching deadly consequences on India and Hindus.

One of the most dubious myths perpetuated about MKG in India and across the world is his “Ahimsa” or “Non-violence”. This is the biggest load of rubbish that I have come across in all of my adult-reading. MKG wanted Hindus and Jews to willingly die at the hands of Muslims and Nazis. Thousands of Indians were killed by the British during the I-movement led by MKG in the later parts. MKG may have felt sorrow at the Jallianwala massacre but wasn’t moved by it. But like Kejriwal, MKG was smart. He knew damn well that the British feared the massive violence that would break out if they hurt MKG or attacked him physically in any way. This “secret violence” was actually the strength of MKG which he knew well and therefore could peddle his Ahimsa theories. MKG did not understand Hinduism or Hindu history all that well. In the land of Lord Ram and Lord Krishna MKG couldn’t distinguish between a righteous military battle and supine surrender to evil.

And when finally agreeing to Partition of India, both MKG and Nehru acted only in selfish greed for power. When a country (Pakistan & East Pakistan) was created mainly because Muslims feared they would suffer under a Hindu majority country, the partition should have been complete and the Hindu-Muslim populations should have been fully exchanged. Vision-less MKG had no clue of what evil he was leaving behind and the problems India has come face with minority appeasement and more threats of “Breaking India”. Of course, MKG was the fountainhead of minority appeasement. It was this and other reasons that provoked and drove Nathuram Godse to kill him. In Godse’s own quote:

When the sole arbiter of the future and destiny of India and Hindus has so much venom against our icons, you can imagine where the hatred for Hindus and their religious icons flow from the current day Sickulars. This becomes all the more pronounced when a Catholic Sonia Gandhi and her coterie of Chrislamists gain power. I have seen Congress as an EVIL from my very young days. I see them as EVIL today. I am just surprised that so many Hindus couldn’t see through these Chinese Gandhis and their contempt for Hindus which directly flows from MKG Gandhi and JL Nehru. Thus, under SoniaG when Islamic terror grew dramatically in India and across the world she & her gang wanted to desperately concoct a “Hindu-terror” plot to Monkey-Balance it. And she succeeded with her folks like P Chidambaram and Sushil Shinde peddling her nonsense. It has come undone in recent days and that all her Hindu terror was nothing but a concoction in alliance with anti-nationals and even enemies of India to tar Hindus the way MK Gandhi did. Just sample this. Under the Sonia-controlled media, even when Muslims are the criminals, the media twists it to tar Hindus very cleverly:

The first “Baba” top left is Mehdi Hassan. The one on top right is some Akmal Khan who is being referred to as Swami. In the bottom pic a Kashmiri Muslim is reported being denied US visa. But the moment his sexual escapade is reported, he becomes “Indian athlete”. This is what Sickulars have done from the time of Gandhi-Nehru. Tar Hindus all over, especially considering both Gandhi and Nehru were Commies, the entire establishment in India got ruled by Commies. This is like a vast CLAW that has crushed Hindus and Hinduism over a long period. So, when the Commies and Chrislamists couldn’t monkey-balance against Islamic terror, they concocted “Hindu terror” or “Saffron terror” and their first Ambassador for that concoction was none other than Nathuram Godse:

And when SoniaG threw them Biskoots, the entire of army of Commie and Chrislamist dogs started barking “Godse first Hindu terrorist, Godse first Hindu terrorist”. Laughable morons! Terrorists indulge in wanton killing, although sometime targeted killings. Terrorists have attacked Hindu temples and innocent civilians all over India. Islamic terrorists have attacked people all over the world and the body-count grows every single day. Even “purchased morons” like Rahul Easwar who claim to be Hindu but are Islamic poodles peddle the same nonsense of Godse being a terrorist. This is all to defend or justify Islamic terrorism – just like MKG did:

That’s right, killers of Lincoln, Kennedy or even IndiraG are never referred to as “terrorists”. These are targeted killings and commonly referred to as “POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS”. It’s not as if SoniaG and her Chrislamist goons are not aware of this concept but their attempt to make Godse a “Bakra” with the “First terrorist tag” is to supplement their spurious hooch of “Saffron terror”. Nothing more, nothing less. Godse was a political assassin and not a terrorist. Whether his grievances were real or imaginary is for people to judge:

The so-called angels of Gandhi and the Chinese Gandhis who root for the Afzals, Kasabs, Ishrat, Batla and Yakubs also dance in delight over Islamic murderers like Akbar, Tipu Sultan or Khilji glorified by the Bollywood Mafia. Splendid! They claim it’s FoE. But try making one movie about Godse or even a play – they break out in sweat and start pulling out their swords as if some movie or play would destroy their beloved MK Gandhi:

Astonishing, that there those who trash Lord Ram with abusive words. There are those who call Ma Durga as a “prostitute” and it becomes fashionably Sickular FoE but they cannot tolerate some stray plays or movies about Godse. Nathuram Godse was a murderer. No question about it. But he was no terrorist who attacked covertly and tried to run away. He killed Gandhi, stood his ground and accepted his crime in court. In contrast, modern day Hindu-haters wake up the SC at midnight to defend Islamic terrorists. And that is where MK Gandhi instilled a bogus concept and he was wrong and so were his monkeys:

That’s right. We cannot afford to be blind to or ignore EVIL. Our only choice is to HEAR and SEE it clearly and defeat it. It’s a mistake that MK Gandhi made for which this country is paying very dearly. It’s funny, Gandhi’s monkeys said "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". But they never said “Do no evil” and that seems to be the only advice the Islamic terrorists and Sickulars seem to follow. The monkeys also did not say “Defend no evil” an advice that Sickulars follow in defending terrorism and terrorists. Yes, Nathuram Godse killed Gandhi. But Godse is no terrorist and cannot be used as an “excuse” or “monkey-balance” by those who perpetrate and defend the evil of Islamic terrorism in this day and age. Happy Gandhi Jayanti.
