When do you might
guess there is still hope left?
The comments for the YouTube upload of a
Ghalib-Gulzaar-Jagjit Singh video is full with those quintessential
fundamentalist display pictures whom (which?) you usually tend to ignore, or in
sporadic intervals, dare to challenge (quite vehemently) under the godly
atheistic cyber sense of security.
But, you indeed understand that they are , with a
commanding disposition, appreciating Ghalib.
People are still ‘Reading’!
And in one flickering moment, let each of them realize
(be it in sporadic intervals) that it is not ok to synonymies the profanely
sacred idea of the word ‘secular’ with ‘sickular’, a pun that humiliates sense of humor, a flash visual of ‘comedy nights with Kapil’ promo dreadfully
slithers through each brain cell for a second.
It is an allegory which insults intelligence the Michael
Corleone way.
And one day, probably they shall learn how trivial it was to
assert identity, and while at it, they were moronically infantilizing the self,
the swaym, the sans-exotic Vedic Swami, humiliating the Ghalib which they now
muse.
Swamyji, you are an intelligent man. But I guess there is
still hope left.
The faded faceless saffron people still listen to Ghalib.
