Growing Up An Irresponsible Generation!

WE ARE GROWING A GREAT GENERATION - AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE & INSENSITIVE ONE! This is what we have been trying hard to make come true in our life time! This does not mean that all the other generations which preceded the existing one were the pure fine examples of responsibility, sensibility & sensitivity! But, what we have been growing for quite some time now is A TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE, MECHANICAL & INSENSITIVE ONE! Here, nothing is what it should be & should have been! Here, nothing is constructive & enduring! Here, nothing is natural, positive & human!

What we try to raise & have been raising, for quite some time now, is an undefined or stupidly defined make shift arrangement of living on Earth! What we trumpet as the marvels of OUR NEWLY INVENTED SYSTEM OF LIVING IS ALL BUT A SYSTEMATIC, REVERBARATING, NATURAL, HUMAN LIFE STYLE/SYSTEM! The anarchical existence we have been for sometime now have been modified so diligently that, now for the coming generation, (or should we call them degeneration?!) there is no way that they escape their destiny of being AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE, MECHANICAL & INSENSITIVE GENERATION WHICH IS THERE TO LIVE AN EXTRAORDINARILY IMPULSIVE LIFE!

Life has always been beyond the grasp of the common man (which is the 99.999999999% of all human race!) all these ages! A lot of people tried to define it all these ages & some got it correct, at the least for a particular time period! An all enveloping grasp was never possible; that doesn't mean that it is not possible! But, one common factor binds all these ages with the exception of the presently growing generation - that is the way they lived their lives! What they all did was trying to live on this beautiful Earth in such a way that they stayed together & positively improve themselves & by that way improve the entire human race, gradually, systematically & by humanly positive ways! Theirs was a gradual, progressive & systematic method of development which made the human beings reach where they are today! They stayed together as they would never go apart in the entire life, as they stuck together for the first time ever to form the oldest of the human civilisations & cultures!

Now, in India, which is one of the oldest of the human civilisations, which has a near 7000 year history to its credit, is doing something which can, if properly maintained & grown, even uproot the social & cultural systems we have been following all these millennia! What we in India have been PRACTICING WITH PASSION FOR SOMETIME NOW has the power to even de-humanize the entire civilisation, where the first baby cry of the civilisation echoed! For sometime now, we have forgotten the great things we had & we have being an Indian & Bharatiya! We foolishly tried to learn WHAT WAS NOT OURS AS FASHION & STYLE and tried to implement them, forgetful of the outcome & the impact on the generations to come! We started to live according to the laws of Neptune & Pluto on our planet Earth! We forgot what we were & are and what we have to be!

Thinking, education, life-style, food, clothing & every department of an Indian's life is DAMAGINGLY MODIFIED BY THE NEW AGE EXISTANCE! What we do these days COMPLETELY REFLECT WHAT OTHERS DO SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD, SOME THOUSANDS OF KILOMETRES AWAY FROM WHERE WE EXIST – MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY! What we never ask is WHY WE SELECTED THIS SELECTED GROUP OF PEOPLE/COUNTRIES OR THEIR METHODS OF LIFE TO FOLLOW, LEAVING BEHIND FOREVER OTHER COUNTRIES & THEIR STYLES & SYSTEMS OF LIFE?! AND, WE FORGET/FORGOT BASICALLY TO ASK WHAT WAS/IS THERE IN OUR INDIAN CULTURE & CIVILISATION THAT BAD THAT WE ALTOGETHER WISHED/WISH TO HAVE & HAD A SEA CHANGE IN OUR LIFE?!

Families have been the back bone of all the civilisations and it is through them the civilisations & cultures grew all over the world. In India we had a very strong, dependable & deep rooted family system which we evolved taking thousands of years! Whatever development we had & have as human beings of India is due to this family system & the culture & civilisation it developed with it! Now, for sometime now, as tail-wagging followers of some countries, which don't even have a civilisation that is a couple of millennia old, we the Indians have almost succeeded in the complete mitigation of what we have created taking almost long 7000 years; indeed that can be termed a marvellous work - uprooting a 7000 year old civilisation with a minimum time span of almost 64 years (Count the years after our independence in 1947 from the so called colonial powers!) flat!

NOW, WE HIGHLIGHT THE FAMILY BREAKERS AS OUR CULT & POPULAR HEROES! We discuss & write volumes about how he or she BROKE THE FAMILY of him or her in this & that way; we discuss elaborately HOW HAPPY WOULD BE HE OR SHE WHO BROKE THE FAMILY of he or she! We dream & talk "How Beautiful The Life Will Be For The Woman Who Stole The Husband Of Another Woman, Who Had 2 Kids With Him!" and write elaborate columns on the place where these NEWLY GOING TO WED are going to spend their GOING TO COME HONEYMOON! We put the photographs of these FAMILY BREAKERS IN BIG SIZE IN OUR SLEAZE NEWS PAPERS & WONDER HOW STICKY THEY ARE TO EACH OTHER! We ask their advice & opinion on FAMILY BREAKING on TV, Newspaper, Websites etc & wonder how wonderfully they did it! We make statues, churches & temples for these FAMILY BREAKERS & adorn our closets with their full size photographs that the growing generation learn from them! WE, INDIANS, CAN BE VERY PROUD OF OURSELVES AS WE HAVE DEVELOPED A UNIQUE FAMILY BREAKING CULTURE & CIVILISATION in very short time span, following someone doggedly who never had a family history which is older than a millennium!

Now, as it has been made to be, THIS IS THE AGE OF THE KIDS! Whatever they wish they are given the very moment they wish for; whatever thing they show some sort of an interest in is SHOWERED UPON THEM DAY & NIGHT that they INDULGE COMPLETELY IN THEIR LIKES & WISHES! It is a LIFE OF COMPLETE INDULGENCE the kids of India live! It is his age - THE IRRESPONSIBLE KID'S AGE (And, of course, the irresponsible & senseless parents' age!)! IN INDIA KIDS ARE SPOILED BY THE AGE OF THE KIDS & THE ARDENT SUPPORTERS OF THE KIDS' AGE - PARENTS! The kids in India grow up protected from all sides, like the broiler chicken caged to be transported from one place to the other, never having an idea about THE REAL LIFE....THE DIFFICULTIES, PROBLEMS, PRESSURE, SADNESS, TENSION, RIGHT, WRONG, MISTAKE, SELF & A MILLION OTHER THINGS RELATED TO A HUMAN BEING BORN! They grow up without any restrictions imposed upon them & getting whatever they wish to have in their life; growing up, education system -which is changed into some sort of a non-existent entity with no power to mould a future citizen!- life style, thinking & all bent, broken & transformed to suit an over indulgent kid! And, the result is AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER- REACTIVE & INSENSITIVE CITIZEN WHEN ONE GROWS UP, WHO ALWAYS FAILS IN THE TRIALS OF LIFE, WHERE EVERYONE IS ON HIS OWN & NO PARENT OR GOVERNMENT CAN BE OF ANY USE!

Now, in India, we have developed a unique Indian system where one can do whatever one likes & go scot free as long as one wishes, provided you have men at the proper places! This one is an indigenously built one of which every Indian can be proud of! Here the blame can always be put on any one else's shoulder & even a mahatma can be made to appear a hard core criminal, in seconds! Making a disaster happen & then saying sorry is our present day hobby; we can spend, without our conscious being hurt, any number of days to make a disaster happen or else we can wait for them as the opportunity to make a disaster happen is any second of a day! Whenever there happens a disaster nobody is REALLY HELD RESPONSIBLE & BROUGHT TO THE BOOK AND ONLY EYE WASH THINGS HAPPEN! The very next second after the disaster one can expect another more grievous one, without fail! If something severely disastrous happens, somebody will say something & go behind the curtain; and after some time someone else will come to the fore to utter something & vanish; then will come another one accusing the first two & will say something totally different & vanish......! By the time these regularly appearing different people stop saying something on the disaster it will be any number of decades.....! That is the style & responsibility we have developed making maximum use of the 64 years we got after OUR SO-CALLED INDEPENDENCE FROM A VERY SHORT TIME PERIOD OF 200-300 YEARS SLAVERY, IN OUR HISTORY OF 7000 YEARS!

And hence, we are building, giving all that we have, AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE & INSENSITIVE GENERATION (OR GENERATIONS) that we can feel satisfied, as we dutifully did whatever stupid, insensible & uncultured - TO OUR 7000 YEAR OLD CULTURE OF BHARATH! - things we could have done & move/d forward without ever imagining the great & irreparable damage we have done to one of the oldest of the civilisations & of course the present & future generations! Let us celebrate the destruction we have caused to our great culture & the coming generation/s! YES, IT IS CELEBRATION TIME.......AS IT IS THE ALMOST TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF OUR GREAT CULTURE & CIVILISATION THAT IS CELEBRATED.......LET US DANCE & REJOICE, AS WE CAN BOAST THAT WE FATHERED AN IRRESPONSIBLE, INSENSIBLE, OVER-REACTIVE , EXTREMELY SELF INDULGENT & INSENSITIVE GENERATION!

Cultural Non-Existence Of India or Indians!

The Joint Family System we the Indians had developed taking centuries just got obliterated by the nuclear families which copied the western ways without thinking what they were throwing into the waste baskets & what they were taking in as their own! Indians never thought for a couple of minutes before they shifted allegiance to a completely foreign idea. They never thought of the culture they had been developing over the millennia! What ‘the others’ taught them, they followed blindly & never thought of the INDIANNESS OF THEIR EXISTENCE!

They shattered into smithereens the millennia-built cultural structure of India or Bharath as it should be called, without any guilt consciousness, AS THEY THOUGHT WHATEVER THERE WAS IN BHARATH ALIEN! They considered whatever that is Bharatiya or Indian Slavish & Uncultured & ran after something or the other which were not even a couple of hundred years old! They never knew that whatever they ran after were never tested & proven in time; they never cared even! They praised the western anything & kept a well-studied passiveness & animosity towards anything Bharatiya or Indian! Whatever western was emulated & Bharatiya looked down on! And, hence, Civilised became uncivilised & not yet proven things became CIVILISATION to these people who all of a sudden switched sides! Automatically, all the OTHER or WESTERN THINGS took charge of the situation & after some time were forced upon those who were still clinging onto the remains of WHAT WE HAD BEEN! When even a mere 500-1400 year old things were praised as something supernatural & sublime the 6000-7000 year old Bharath Culture was readily, silently & unceremoniously kicked away from the main frame of the INDIAN MINDS!

We started to build the alien Flat Culture as our own, flattening our great Bharat Culture; we built nuclear families which cut the roots of our culture never ever to germinate again; we started to talk & even think in the alien languages which were thrust upon us when we were NOT FREE; we wore western coats, suits etc in the sweltering sun; we gulped Russian vodka, brandy & whiskey and went for the Churchillian Cheroots; we read Shakespeare & Goethe and feigned ignorance of Valmiki & Vyasa; we romanticised the 12th & 13th century castles of Europe & never knew Ajanta, Ellora, Khojaraho, Mahabalipuram or the magnificent forts of Rajasthan; we knew Machiavelli well but kept our ignorance burning on Kautilya or Chanakya; we started to learn & propagate the love towards German, Latin & Urdu but failed to even think of Sanskrit; we held symposiums on Oxford & Cambridge & never uttered Nalanda; we forgot Kasi, Prayag, Sarnath & remembered London, Paris & Oslo; we stopped thinking BHARATIYA & started thinking western!

Our Education System became the BUILDING FACTORY for all those things -companies & all - which are western & is for the west and based on western style! Our Medicine System Ayurveda was thrown away for the sake of Western Medicine while the westerners learned to extract benefit from it! We ran after Consumerism, following the west without ever seeing what it has done to the western people! We try to match our likings to those of the west; IF WE DONT FEEL LIKE WEST WE FEEL UTTERLY CHEAP & INSIGNIFICANT; "WHATEVER THEY MADE US THINK WE THOUGHT FEVERISHLY" & FOLLOWED THEM DOGGEDLY, WAGGING OUR TAILS INCESSANTLY!

Aping West in everything, including life style (including old age homes, kindergarten, convent education etc), culture, food, etiquette, education, medicine, money-spending system (Retirement scheme, insurance, banks & investment companies, stock market etc) consumerism and even THINKING for which no other external aid is required other than what is ours, became or made to be a fashion statement! We decorated our culture as a whore & promenaded it as A WESTERN CIVILIZED GLAM DOLL; we lifted our saris & lungees in the crowded WESTERNIZED INDIAN MARKETS TO DECLARE "OUR WESTERN 'UNDERGARMENT-EXISTENCE"; we moved in 2 pieces to prove OUR CULTURE; we felt whatever the WESTERNERS DID WAS FREEDOM & APED THEM BLINDLY; we pointed our fingers to the Ajanta, Ellora & Khojaraho & RAN NAKED IN THE NAME OF WESTERN FREEDOM!

In British Raj we gave them raw material & they altered them & sold us with a huge price hike; today we labour & alter whatever we have & give them cheap! Whatever we do we do it KEEPING IN MIND THE WAY THE WEST DOES IT; WE TODAY LIVE FOR THE WEST; WE ARE DEAD AS INDIANS or BHARATIYA! In older times we ONLY HAD TO GO AS FAR AS THE MIGHTY HIMALAYAS TO FIND OUR GODS; NOW WE HAVE OUR GODS POSTED PERMANENTLY IN THE WEST!

It has almost become as “Life Is West & East Is Death”, as WE ASSUME TO SEE All The Great Things On the other side of the fence, which is between us & the west! The WEST-CRAZE has become so engrossing & consuming that even if ONE PERISHES IN LIFE, ONE WANTS TO PERISH IN THE WESTERN STYLE! We follow a system which is NOT OURS or THEIRS....It is somewhere between these two cultures-the yet to be proven & the well proven culture of ours- which is like falling between 2 stools & never ever waking up!
