Those who are great, and those who aspire greatness, live through a struggle against the world. The insignificant individual is sustained by the general insignificance of life itself.

Replying to @andh_era

One has to be amnesiac or intellectually dishonest, or simply a dumb cringe which is most likely, to say things like ‘Neha Bora, before questioning Dalit/marginalized politics, when did you question UC privilege?’ Every next discourse, you hear Neha ranting about all that.

Each day Kolkata gets one bit more ripped off of its sophistry and exceptionalism, and down to the level zero of history. Monke era brought to you by Sanghi fash cult.
Bone-Chilling Incident From Kolkata -Father and son paraded naked in public. -Alleged relationship with a young woman triggers family’s anger. -The woman’s family humiliates the youth and his father. -FIR registered under multiple sections: Sources -Victim: They laughed at our humiliation. -Victim alleges being 'threatened' at gunpoint. Watch as @AnirbanSinhr and @SiddharthaTalya bring us more details.

If one were to go deep in history of Bengali feudal lords, they might just want (and get as well given Sanghi regime is there now) a Kashmir Filesque prop for their misery, which happens to be (in their own words) leaving behind their palatial houses and ‘zamindari’ back there.
South Calcutta aantels living in posh flats in Golf Green and Hindustan Park calling themselves "refugees" is really ironic, because there are actual refugees from East Bengal settled in both the 24 Parganas, generations of who are struggling for 50+ years since they got displaced.

I can put out a whole polemic, but a basic Star Wars ref would do. Sanghi Empire wants its Vader, and it has got some candidates who make serious grievances but in reactionary terms. Now, what is new here is that this co-opted, manipulated Vader is situated within the resistance.

The Vader, who sees himself a part of the resistance but denied a space, makes it altogether problematic for the resistance to counter. For now it means a radical revision of the idea of the resistance itself and its larger purposes. From here begins the rethinking in totality.

A paradox reproduced by another, to dismiss this Vader in terms employed by himself would be an ironic reversal. Revolutionary intiatives demand revolutionary terms, not a rehashed response. To see the aggrieved in reactionary is to also see the reactionary in the aggreived.

As more and more disastrous consequences unravel in Bengal and Kolkata under the puppet regime of BJP, the more you get to hear the word ‘Sanatani’ by the puppet CM of BJP. You ask why are major roads still broken, and the BJP puppet answers, ‘I am a Sanatani’. Quite the humour.

Either you die a hero or live long enough to become a vulgar empiricist.
French “student” protests are even more DUMBER than Indian protests. Not to mention they are much more violent and obscene. And yet, instead of instilling sense among the aggrieved, we find people like Greta Thunberg joining them. I guess it’s really about who cashes in on a dumb ignorant herd. There really is a great market in fuelling populism and delusions of a crowd.

sanghi cringe of ‘first in my bloodline’ over bengal/kolkata did not age well.

Waking up to the news of a stampede aboug a puja pandal, it feels just as cold as the weather in the city. People dying while celebrating festivals, completely outrageous. The whole admin chain, from Sanghi bosses issuing demagogic orders to the personnels on ground, is failure.
Kolkata Police flopped in public & traffic management this puja. Dunno if they are working under the lead of some other dept or whatever the puppet BJP regime set them up to. Way less people than usual, but most on roads when vehicles are moving, and the police are onlookers.

Never beating the neelgai allegations.
In absolute solidarity with ACP Vivek Bhagat. Thank you Delhi police (for the first time ever), for ensuring justice to a Dalit man who is constantly targeted by casteist savarna women.

They are not hurt because ‘chaiwala’ might be a classist slang. They are hurt for this is a blasphemy to them when done against their fake god. The same lot that abuse marginalized people in every next sentence. Now, they fear the turn in the wheel of history. ‘Hum dekhege...’

Here comes the time of year when Hindu ‘progressiveness’, known for its mantra of ‘we are not like Taliban’, is exposed like a third-rate cringe as they abuse Hindu women for wearing ‘revealing’ dresses during festivity. These ‘dresses’ reveal their hollowness more than anything.
