Safety Valves of Left Liberals

  • 1
Left Liberals are a hybrid product of slyness, fallacy and cockeyedness. These rare species deserve to be extinct, but somehow they still exist with the help of their usual gimmicks – Sometimes they do fall in the category of ‘Endangered Species’.‘Outlook’ magazine comes with a boring and spineless article on the Muslims of Gujarat ‘One side of the Divide’ and we have a comment by this famous talented lady.
“Some say Muslims must move on, but what choice did they have? People accept their fate though they didn’t get justice.” Mallika Sarabhai
The above quote strikes the chord with many, but one never tries to deconstruct such feckless quotes. The common man is addicted to the bad habit of satisfying with what he listens and what he sees without applying some strain on his cerebrum and accepts these baseless and goosy comments.

When people of a particular religion are involved in any wrong doing, we have to hear statements like “These people are devoid of basic education, society forces them to takes such steps”. After 26/11 Mumbai attacks and series of bomb blasts across the country, I find some left liberals whispering statements like “One needs to look into the root causes, instead of fuming hatred”.

Does ‘Education’ solve everything; will it change the thinking of an individual? The faith of a particular religion? An individual’s perception towards other religions? There is an interesting graph done with the help of the data provided by UN and World Bank. The percentage of expenditure on Defence and Education. The graph throws some interesting points— Percentage of Budget spent on Defence by Pakistan is higher in comparison with India and Indonesia—Percentage of Budget spent on Education by Pakistan is lower in comparison with India and Indonesia. So, one would step ahead and say that Pakistan is facing a crisis of Terrorism & Religious Extremism because of lack of attention for education. Before jumping to the above conclusion let us explore more about the same graph. The percentage of spending on Defence by Indonesia is less in comparison with India and Pakistan and the percentage of spending on Education by Indonesia is higher in comparison with India and Pakistan. So, obvious conclusion from the above statement is that Indonesia is more progressive.

Unfortunately, the above two obvious conclusions contradict each other. Pakistan is the epicenter of Global terrorism, Shia-Sunni hatred, etc..,. Indonesia too gets a good rank when it comes to the degrees of terrorism; killing of Ahmadiyya’s to name few. So, I can safely say that less expenditure on Defence is really not a good option for good governance and more expenditure on Education doesn’t provide immunity from the problems of religious extremism.

To solve this puzzle, one should comprehend ‘Education’. Education given to children and literature fed to the young blood is the key. Countries which continuously inject hatred towards other religions as ‘knowledge’ and suicide for the cause of religion as ‘wisdom’ can never achieve peace even after spending 100% of budget on Education. It is an open secret that madrassas teaching is dubious and can be a security threat to the nation but the pseudo secular government has given the status of CBSE to the Madrasas. FYI- The terrorist group Indian Mujahideen, which claims responsibility for the various bomb blasts across the country, it has few senior software engineers working for them who were employees for multinational companies. Is the word ‘Education’ the satisfying answer?

Very often left liberals resort to their another lie—“Development is not equally distributed..A particular religion does not have equal opportunity…A particular religion is not included in building a society”. The above rhetoric is apt when it comes to expressing opinion in news channels and live debates. For example let us understand the complexities involved – A normal muslim does not have the freedom to trade like others communities because of their obligation with sharia law. Children in muslim families doesn’t have the liberty to pursue higher studies especially girls because of the stone age orthodox rules. A substantial percentage of muslim population still prefers the madrassa education to their children. The secular governments in our country are coming with solutions for these issues like the ‘Islamic Banking’ where the banking rules oblige with the sharia law. Religious Reservations are being introduced to encourage muslim students to pursue higher studies. Do the measures taken by secular governments help the marginalized community? YOU decide it.

Tehelka – The weekly independent magazine has a fantastic history. This independent magazine suspects that 26/11 Mumbai attacks were a conspiracy of Hindu Terrorists and it also feels that comic ‘Amar Chitra Katha’ can be used for killing innocent muslims. The quality and authenticity of the sting operations done by this fearless magazine is well known and expecting worthy articles from Tehleka is same like expecting a life time warranty on goods brought from China Bazaar. The below is a snapshot of ‘Tehelka’s’ Left Liberalism and the same left liberal rhetoric reply and justification given when asked for clarification.

Tehelka's tweet on Maoist attack...
Reply given when asked about that tweet.
Few weeks back I was browsing few Bangladeshi websites as they have jointly hosted the cricket world cup with the sub continent nations and I was curious to know the opinion of Bangladeshi people, opinion of the online community to be more precise – Accidentally I came across this blog.

I have read some tweets where people show their sympathy for such pathetic situation and also take pun saying that 'some people complain about Insomina in A/C bed rooms but have a look at them.' The typical style adopted by many to squash away the real issue. Just think for few seconds, my questions might be harsh, prejudicial and rude, but think and try to get an answer. Does a garment worker need so many off-springs? Is he under any compulsion to produce so many children? Think and get an answer.

When the Left Liberals are asked genuine questions, they elude them with the same rhetoric, they open their safety valve to escape the pressure and eventually come with nonsense like ‘Root causes, lack of education, injustice, No equal opportunities, bullhshit, etc.., ’. These safety valves are now a common scene-- they help these left liberals to escape from facing the litmus test.

When a left liberal is asked straight questions, they desperately try to get out of the situation by repeating the same bullshit, if you force them with your logic, you end up being tagged as a Internet Hindu or be labeled as Hindutvawadi, let me tell you-being labeled as a right winger is the first level of success, your are bound to be discouraged with such attack but move ahead with a strong ego, press for more clear answers by asking them to close their safety valves. Your argument has morally won the battle when the left liberal has opened his/her safety valve.
