War on Pop Culture

This year has seen a sharp rise in attacks by the so called moral police which used to limit their activities for special occasions like Valentine's day. Whether it is the Ram sena in Banglore or Shiv Sena in Mumbai, these brave hearts find it easy to pick on college kids and even school kids (MNS in Nasik). The nasik incident was the lowest one can go. Hitting small children just because they sang bhojpuri songs? And burning posters of officers who fell for the country during the Mumbai attacks.

I care a rats ass if they burn whosoever posters but when someone dies for the sons of your soil, an ounce of gratitude is expected. Where was was Raj Thackeray and his beloved MNS workers or Saniks when the Taj was being attacked. I bet the mob could have easily surrounded and defeated the terrorist. I guess they found it easier to wait for a day till soldiers arrived from North India and saved their sorry bumbs. The least they could do is not allow the North Indian Soldiers to come to Mumbai and prove to India that they really dont want any outsiders to work in Mumbai. Bloody Hypocrites!!!

And then we have people like Chief Minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot who vows to fight against pub culture.What is pop culture or western culture. Everyone knows that and the old conservatives fear it, it is the freedom to think and do whatever you want, legally, and giving a damn to what society thinks of you.

But if you want to eradicate pop culture and indianise it here is what the CM should do;
  • Ban Bars, and all drinks that were originated outside india.
  • Ban Trousers and shirts and stick to dhotis and kuritas Ban underwear's and use a piece of cloth to keep your family jewels in place
  • Ban Cars and travel by carts. Afterall the style of a driving in a car, the car culture and the car itself is imported, just like the pop culture.
  • Ban TV altogether, watching TV is not a part of indian culture.
  • Dont use electricity, use lamps and wood. Electricity is foriegn and is evil.
  • Dont travel by plane, Dont holliday, they are not a part of Indian culture
  • Ban Hospitals. let you father mother wife kids die of something as mild as a common cold. Alopthic medicines were all born as a result of developments in the west and in their culture. You can always rub leaves and hope for the best.
  • Let your mothers, sisters and daughters commit sati when their husband die. Shamless as this may sound, I wont be surprised if this is implemented.
  • Lets ban elections, the Parliament and the Constitution. They are all foreign Ideas and part of foreign culture. In indian culture, we should be ruled by a king.
  • Let ban Software companies, IT, Shipping, Crude Ould, Petrol, Gas etc they are all a part of foriegn culture.
I can go on and on but I've made my point and if you still dont get it, either join the pop culture and evolve like it people have throughout history or prove that you want to truely follow Indian culture and do the things Ive mentioned above.
