The Basu: Theirs not to reason why,

The Basu: Theirs not to reason why,

Theirs not to reason why,

Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
    Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
    Rode the six hundred
“The charge of the light brigade “
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Our truant prince is back and in the best of time election a few days back in Bengal and Punjab  ,Malda quietly tucked away behind silent media ,TMC blockade and public amnesia,Modi getting his credibility  transfigured by yours peacefull neighbor.Then to top it all is the Gajendra Singh moment the sucide of the dalit. Dadri got Bihar Rohith might get Bengal considering there is a fresh alliance on the horizon with guess who ? the CPI(M).
Politics is to be played over bodies proving once and for all that no bridge is too high or price too big for getting to power.Cyncisim is the  order of the day  however one feels sorry for the sucide bomber for exactly what he will be reduced to.Like with Gajendra an stunt gone wrong or in the case of Rohith a case of misguided zeal taken too far he will be debated on tv ,lionized in headlines and stretched to connect hindu Zionism plot holes.All so that secular  credentials live to fight another day.
Hard not to sneer but then these are fellow Indians sacrificed on the altar of politics. That’s even before the cause of his suicide is out of the open reported and distorted to fit the stereotypes.The truth my friends we will now never know.He is already the martyr a minority of politicians nedded and true or not that’s all he will ever be.
However at the end of the day Rohith will be dead and nothing will fill his absence for his friends and family.India is turning a new path for better or worse age old macauly –marx education system are slowly being questioned on merits of idolizing lost ideas at the cost of at cost of Indian culture  ,so are governments  with social revolution thought and nothing tangible else. Change is the only constant and we are seeing the effects.
Hence politics of rehotric and chauvinism are slowly dying their natural death .However the soon  to be orphans are propping it up on the lives of scapegoats.Worse as a country we are swallowed into the tragedy of using death as a drama for headlines.Should some one not condem it. Many are rusticated for much lesser crime than spreading hatred like”har ghar se Yakub niklega “ and  most don’t take the extreme step.Groomed in the fertilizer of so called oppression and watered by the chauvinism of correcting historic wrongs  he like others had to escalate a case of juvenile college politics to the higher stage at the price of his own life.Should he been allowed the luxury of thought   that things are way different and times have changed a long time back.Sucide need not be salivation any more.That idea is no longer relevant or appriciated.Sadly nothing to get the eyeballs other than the corpse of a a research fellow of a particular community.
 I would say too that this is not exactly a suicide more of a murder and “pro bono” who benefits.
Shouldn’t the leftist leaders taken their class battle somewhere else other than the campus of an university.Shouldent the terrorism promoters find someone else to raise their begger all sense slogans .Guess not.
"Liberty is a bitch who must be bedded on a mattress of corpses." As per the French revolutionary Louis-Antoine St. Just,.Should our liberties and justices be churned from  death.Like the French reign of terror the spectacles have to be gut wrenching and worth dying for to be relevant .
How much corpses till Rahul and his elk  are back in their scam funded palaces that’s one countdown we could have done without  on national media.Then again sucide bombers sensationalizing lost causes for fifteen minutes of tv headline fame that’s primetime or showtime for India nowadays.
