I always prefer to end every serious discussion with a lighter note, to bring some smile, at least to me. As this won’t fit well with that serious discussion, I reserved it for Part Two.
Labels:
Instead of accepting any label put by others on me, I would prefer a Neutral person as Valluvar said in Kural 181.1 Like politicians giving issue based support, to a minority government waiting only an opportunity to topple it [as Congress often did in the past]. I don’t want to even remain a ‘centrist’ not knowing which side to jump. As a Neutral person I will support every good thing done by any political party and oppose any wrong that brings damage to our present democratic secular state.
Returning back to the owner.
Regarding return back to the original owners, when someone asked his promise to do that to Trump during his first term as President, he said, ‘I am assure to return back the country back to the children of the soil and giving a Presidential ordinance to vacate all white Americans return back to the original countries from where our forefathers migrated here. In fact, we sent expedition teams to find the original children of the soil both in the Arctic and Antarctic. Because the present Native Americans also moved from South America, originated from Africa as Tony Joseph clearly proved through DNA analysis in his book: Early Indians. Finally, our team managed to find out one family and when we persuaded them to return to claim the whole country back, they said, ‘you all spoiled our soil and climate by creating so much pollution to the environment. In that present condition we cannot survive there as we have never lived in such a climate.’ In response we assured that, ‘we promise that once we vacate, giving up all our luxury, the original climate will return. So please come back to reclaim your land’. But they refused to believe in our words saying that ‘now it has become a global problem, even if you return back to your original home lands, still as you will continue to leave carbon emission from other places, there is no hope to restore the original climate. And now we are happy here. Stop all your so-called scientific expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic and at least leave one place on this earth neat and clean’. As that is not going to happen our team returned back with much disappointment unable to fulfil my poll promise.
I made one thing clear to the original children of America, who now live in exile in the Arctic and Antarctic continents. To save those continents, as usual we introduced a resolution in the UN that except America, no other country should be allowed to even enter there? When they asked why, our team said, ‘you see we Americans are pioneers in everything in the world. We first invented airplanes, auto bombs, went to the Moon, etc. etc. So naturally it is our birth right to remain the only pioneer in this also. But Russia, China and France Viteo our resolution’. ‘Why England support’, they asked. ‘Birds of the same feather flock together. We inherited only their DNA for our National [foreign policy of interfering in other countries]. Above all Rishi has no other option but to say, ‘Yes Boss’. particularly after Brixit. ‘What about Canada’ again they demanded a response. ‘You mean that boy Justin? Ha Ha, Canada is our backyard. And they don’t even have the right to say ‘Yes Boss’, but to sing on dated lines. ‘But you were also a pioneer also in dropping the atomic bomb, creating the Cold War, interfering unnecessarily in other countries, fighting wars in another country and finally deserting them etc. etc.’ ‘What to do that is our NATIONAL POLICY for all political parties. It is in the DNA of our political system. We are used to it. As World Leader others have to accept it. After all the WORLD GETS A WORLD LEADER WHAT IT DESERVES.’
The same happened when I met Queen Elizabeth during her visit to India. I am not cooking up this and actually I met her in person in Delhi [See my photo with her]. When she got the opportunity to interact, I asked her when she was going to return back to our Kohinoor. In response she said, ‘in fact we have already decided to return back all the artifacts that we looted from other countries. In this process we want to return Kohinoor to the original owner and not to your government. As it belongs to the person who cut and polished it from the original, it belongs to him. Somehow we managed to trace out the legal successor to that family. Unfortunately, as they are Muslims, when we approached Indian government, some Right Wing anti-Muslim Leaders opposed it by saying, ‘we would prefer it to be with a Christian country than to return back to any Muslim, even though he born here but remain not Indian in his mind and spirit.’ So we are waiting for the Secular government to return back to power so that they will agree. In response I said even the BJP government is Secular, she said, ‘no that this kind of Secular, the original secular like that of Congress’. For this I said, ‘oh you mean pseudo-secular. You missed their title. But there is no hope for them to return back to power even after a millennium. And how long can we wait.’ Then she said, ‘I know that well. That’s why I suggested at least making Sonia [a true daughter of Europe ] as the President of India for life so that we can return the Kohinoor to the original owners.’ In response I said, ‘I know you don’t want to return back Kohinoor and that’s why you put several impossible conditions. No problem if you keep it. Soon we will colonize your country and will take back what belongs to us. And now I make a prophecy that within twenty years from now an Indian origin British will become your CM, followed by our economy colonizing your country as your economy will become disastrous after exit from the European Union.’
Regarding Buddhist Temples, when the Indian government approached the Dalai Lama when he took asylum in India, he said, ‘Actually we don’t know there existed a separate temple for Buddha in several parts of India. I know there existed several Jain temples and they still continue to exist. Of course there existed several monasteries where in some there could have existed a small shrine for Buddha. But as we cannot make much inroads in Indian society converting successfully as monks, as most of the monasteries were deserted along with the temple and you Hindus wisely used for your temple. Even we expected great success after Dr Ambedkar converted to Buddhism. But it also miserably failed, confined in a limited way within his caste community, still keeping all kinds of caste identity like the rest of the Hindu communities. We know your true spirit of tolerance and we neither have money nor monks any new temples for us. There are enough monasteries for our need all over India where we can keep a shrine Buddha, if there is any need.
Symbol:
As a Hindu I would prefer to keep the present status quo of both Mathura and Varanasi temples. Because they will convey the strong message: This is what happened in history. If they get another chance, they will do the same to more of our religious structures with a vengeance—as they have done to the Bamiyan Buddha statue in Afghanistan by Thaliban. And this will alert Indians to remain vigilant in future.
There is no consistency regarding the historical events of who was who in this imaginary episode. For example Rishi Sunak was the British PM during the Trump Presidency. But imaginary stories accommodate such extreme imaginations.
