Reality Bites: Hope springs eternal



We are aware that the Dear Leader moans frequently to his henchman Omit Sour that more people should be like him: Violate human rights and fight for the richest of the rich instead. He has a great track record—during the pandemic, he worked very hard to make his human piggy banks Mr A and the other Mr A rise and rise in the ranks of the richest people in the world.To ensure that Indian citizens reject activists like Sudha Bharadwaj who only fight for the miserable poor—a burden on the exchequer blah blah, the Dear Leader has ordered his creepy-crawly media stooges to change the very definition of activists. They have sweetly complied and now refer to Bajrang Dal and VHP goons as “activists”.In the Dear Leader’s mind, the best activists are those who destroy mosques and churches, attack inter-faith couples, vandalise schools run by missionaries, etc. I haven’t read his book ‘Exam Warriors’ (pronounced ‘Eggjam Worriers’) but I strongly suspect that it’s about chucking stones and shouting threats outside schools run by India’s minorities while trembling students inside are giving important examinations.The third piece of news is not about hope, but a reluctant admission of guilt. Former Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi has finally conceded that he was wrong to have been part of the bench that heard the sexual harassment case against him, but brushed it off with an airy “We all make mistakes”, statement. He continues to be his usual brazen self, and most Indians would be overjoyed if some “activist” stuffed him in a “sealed envelope” and posted him to Mars.(Any resemblance to real people or events is a coincidence)
