MODERNITY UNDER THREAT

We are in an authoritarian state where there is no freedom of speech or freedom of expression. I am really shocked by the way in which eminent Professor Nivedita Menon is being booked by the State in the name of Sedition. How to understand this fascist Hindutva state when uneducated politicians are ruling unlawfully with the full pledged support of uneducated masses, bureaucrats, judiciary and hegemonic ideas by crushing the progressive voices in the present scenario of twenty first century India? Why is the majority academic community of India (majority of Indian academic community is non-meritorious in the intellectual domain with few exceptional cases of individuals or centers such as CSDS, CSSS, CSCS and with few JNU) is so silent and what made these intellectually inferior academic community is silent when the intellectually superior scholars are being targeted by fascist Hindu government at the center in the name of sedition? How to understand intellectually inferior subaltern (teachers belonged to agrarian castes, trading castes, tribal communities and Kshatriya castes and Indian languages speaking Brahmins) castes and sub-subaltern castes (so-called Ambedkar followers in the academic institutions) who are intellectually inferior are silence over the State repression against mainstream intellectuals and their progressive voices? What does Center for Women Studies do when progressive intellectuals like Professor Nivedita Menon or Human Rights Activist Teesta Setalvaad are being harassed by the hegemonic ruling groups for their unconditional support to Rights? Did Nivedia or Teesta have done any greater crime by writing classical pieces or fighting for the rights on the issues or Rights, Modernity, State Repression against intellectuals or marginalized sections? Why did intellectually inferior university teachers are lack of proper analytical skills or at least meaning of Sedition when the entire Knowledge Centers are opposing state repression against intellectuals? What is the voice of so-called university teachers or research scholars who are spending their life time for chit chat about movies, heroines, porn stars, cricket or political parties when the fascist Hindutva state is targeting intellectuals who are questioning the authoritarian nature of fascist Hindutva ruler’s? Does Nehruvian or Gandhenian ideologies who incorporated religion into politics are main reason behind all these atrocities on progressive thinkers and intellectuals? Can’t Indian masses or Indians themselves live without interference of religion or caste in their day to day life? When does academic community of Indian universities learn to know the importance of progressive ideas and thoughts for bringing an egalitarian society where human beings can live without referring to their social identity? When does progressive thoughts and ideas can be produced by Indian universities like white western Christian societies or Roman or Greek philosophers who have changed the scenario of their societies thousands of years ago? When would Indian academy react to the authoritarian nature of state in suppressing progressive minds? When would these intellectually inferior groups realize the importance of progressive ideas and thoughts? When would Ambedkar followers learn to learn to come with progressive scholars without isolating themselves from the society? When would intellectually inferior tribal communities or non-Brahmin or vernacular speaking Brahmins or Indian degree (holders) communities to come up with the side of progressive knowledge creators? When would Indian women learnt to read books and learnt to write progressive articles or essays or books to save themselves from the clutches of slavery? Now it is the responsibility of people who spoiled the spirit of knowledge creation in India to save progressive minds from the threats of aggressive Hindutva forces.
