As expected, the old guard stood up! How dare two
young non-conformists? But whoa...so much passion to
defend a person who had no place to be in the seat of
crime, preaching as he has been of religious sermons?
Or was it because of this that he needed to have
committed the crimes being alleged?
Well, we have an advocate here:
I have a question to make:
Why did Chinmaya send this message twice, and
importantly, with two
different subjects?
Likewise, why did Saswat send the response twice?
Do these poor people think that the gravity of the
matter should be
better conveyed by the number of responses they
post?
Well, I think IIT Mumbai is not as poor as my home
town Varanasi is
(where it requires to click the "send" botton
several times to send
a message; for most of the times it times out), as
far as internet
is concerned. Thus, the above mentioned duplication
is essentially
intentional. Then, what psychology can be behind
such behaviour?
Needless to say, such a psychology these days has
gripped most of
the Indian intelligentsia. For example, a few weeks
ago a Karnataka
court and the state police enacted a drama: framing
charge-sheet
against Uma Bharti, ordering her arrest, and
backtracking afterwards!
My question is: why this drama? Was the
judiciary/police efficient
enough to ascertain that Uma was innocent, that too
within a couple
of days of her surrender? If yes, how come a court
has again invoked
the case recently?
The root behind all the above behavioural
discripancy is "andhatwa",
blindness! That is, Inability to know the truth,
lack of patience to
investigate a fact, and hurriedness to show/tell
something to the
people around - however misleading and disastrous
may that be.
My point is: no Uma or Sankaracharya is above the
law, and law
should take its route. But, while arresting
someone, are you sure
enough that that someone is indeed guilty? Why
cannot such actions
wait till completion of intensive investigation? In
the above case,
a Chief Minister had to concede the chair, and much
more political
chaos took place. Why? No satisfactory answer to
this question,
because Karnataka government withdrew the case.
Then, who will
compensate the personal and public trauma that the
lady sufferred,
who will compensate for/undo the political turmoil
(which had had
bearing on the state administration)?
Now, if the Sankarachaeya is released as was Uma,
who will
compensate for the defame he was forced to face?
Who will compensate
for the mass unrest that this act caused in the
mind of millions of
Indians?
Nothing wrong in the referred action of TN police
if he is found
guilty. But if he is upheld innocent, this blind
trend in India will
turn too devastating for the common citizen to
breath some air.
I personally think it is extremely unlikely that
Swami Jayendra
Saraswati is involved in a murder. Because, a
Sankaracharya is no
Pope who could order an "Albigensian Massacre" and
still be the
highest religious leader of the World; I hope smart
guys like
Chinmay, Saswat, Vulcan etc know what it
(Albigensian Massacre) was.
Neither a Sankaracharya is a magic Guru (Saswat
needs to "know"
before pointing a finger) nor any goonda can become
a Sankaracharya!
Unlike the western churches, Indian Religious
establishments (not
the fake Ashramas; one has to "know" the difference
between myriads
others and the "dhAma") are unknown to be involved
in sodomy, child
abuse, murder etc.-- AA
