Appadurai demands Merkel invade India!

Prof Arjun Appadurai has lived in the West since the late Sixties. He hates India. He writes in the Wire-

The few remaining leaders in the world who can claim to have any commitment to human decency (Emmanuel Macron, Justin Trudeau, Angela Merkel, for example), should be calling for a change of regime, and the International Criminal Court should issue a major call for investigation and punishment. The UN should bar India’s representatives from any participation in UN deliberations until they are held accountable for the new bar that India has set for in internal violence.

Appadurai wants the West to do 'regime change' in India like it did in Iraq.  Merkel should invade Poland as the first step in getting to India to do 'regime change'.

Why does this cretinous Anthropologist want India to be declared  Hostis humani generis- the enemy of mankind?

He says it is because of some rapes and murders and proposed changes in Immigration and Nationality Law.

The fact is, India has a lower rape and murder statistics than Appadurai's America. It does not deport people on anything like the scale that America does. Compared to Trump's attitude to Muslims, Modi is a pussy cat. India's recent CAB and NCR bills are exceptionally mild compared to draconian American law on migration and nationality. Yet Appadurai is not biting the hand that feeds him. He is waging war on India which he left long ago because it was poor and under developed.

American citizen, Siddhartha Varadarajan, is happy to publish Appadurai. But Varadarajan lives in India. Why do Indians want to read hate filled, anti-national, screeds written by brown people who have the protection of the US State Department?

But none of these things is likely to happen, because India is regarded as too democratic to fail.

It is too strong to attack.

If global institutions and other nations condemn India, what will do they do about Israel, Brazil, the Philippines, China, Turkey and many other statocracies? India has long benefited from this default view of its vibrant democracy, and it continues to do so.

Appadurai is a cretin. Nixon threatened to 'nuke Calcutta' while he was studying in the States. Did he denounce Nixon and refuse to live in a country run by that maniac? No. He kept quiet and got good marks and licked every white arse presented to him till he got 'intellectual affirmative action' and was co-opted by the Establishment.

If Nixon could not intimidate India in 1971- when we had no nukes- does this worthless shithead think Merkel and Trudeau can threaten India? Macron has nukes but he is now Modi's best friend.

Appadurai may hate the fact that the country he chose back in the late Sixties is declining in power and influence. It can't tell China or Turkey what to do. Indeed, it is now out of the 'regime change business'. That is why this idiot is appealing to Trudeau and Merkel.

I have remarked before that India is not only following a global swing to the authoritarian right, it is an innovator.

Appadurai immigrated to Nixon's America from Socialist India. He rose in Reagan's America. He did not emigrate when Dubya or Trump came to power. What evidence is there that he has any great dislike for the right, 'authoritarian or otherwise'?

The innovation which is now being tried out in India is the successful closing of the gap between procedural fascism and substantive fascism.

There was never any such gap. Fascism was a reaction to Bolshevism which did not bother with any legal window-dressing whatsoever. On the other hand, American and Swedish eugenic laws were copied by the Germans and Italians. The notion that citizenship was qualified by ethnic origin was American. It was not previously an aspect of European political thinking.

At the time of Partition and subsequently, Indian Government offices sharply distinguished between Muslims who could potentially chose Pakistan and Hindus who faced death if they did so. People with homes in India but who were Muslims were denied visas to India. They could go to Karachi and then try their luck at the border. This was the official policy of the Indian High Commission under Krishna Menon and the Indian Consul General in New York. The Custodian of Enemy Property harassed many Muslims- like the father in Rushdie's Satanic Verses- till they emigrated to Pakistan. This was under the Congress regime.

Procedural fascism is exemplified by the scrapping of Article 370 of the constitution in Kashmir, the National Register of Citizens process in Assam, the CAB and the recent Supreme Court ruling on Ayodhya.

Nonsense! Fascism is about a One Party State under a supreme Leader. Only the Congress Party meets this description- indeed, it has dynastic Leadership. Sonia Gandhi's father was an actual Fascist. Govind Vallabh Pant said in 1938, 'Italy has its Il Duce, Germany has its Fuhrer, India has Mahatma Gandhi' who anointed Nehru and whose daughter, Indira, suspended the Constitution and jailed the Opposition. Her son took over from her and, after her assassination, her elder daughter-in-law took over the party. They younger daughter-in-law and her son, are with the BJP.

Appadurai says that the Supreme Court is Fascist because he doesn't like its Ayodhya ruling. He won't like its ruling re Article 370 either. So he demands that Trudeau and Merkel declare war on India. Otherwise he will hold his breath till he explodes and then Trudeau and Merkel will feel very very sorry for having ignored that fat fuck.

In each case, the executive, the judiciary and the legislature have made fascism far more respectable than it ever was in India, at the highest formal levels.

Fuck would this cretin know about what is 'respectable' in India? He left long ago. Why did this guy not protest Clinton's massive deportation of Mexicans? Obama wasn't really the 'deporter in chief' but Operation Pegasus- targeting migrants who had been naturalized by error- was an Obama initiative.

At the same time, the spate of rapes, murders, burnings, lynching, and other humiliations of women, Dalits, Muslims and children throughout India have raised substantive fascism to an unimaginable public level.

But these happened under Congress and Communist rule. The Marichjhapi massacre of Dalits was the work of the CPI (M).

What is the source of the new compact between procedural (formal) fascism and substantive fascism, or to put it more simply, between the highest authorities in the land and the killers and lynch mobs that produce everyday brutality in India’ cities, villages and neighbourhoods?

There is no such compact. Congress became criminalized as did the Communist and Caste based parties. The RSS did not become criminalized. That is why the BJP is the default national party.

One answer is impunity. If anyone in India today says or does anything which follows the BJP line on citizenship, security, patriotism, patriarchalism, or journalism or the BJP line on cows, statues, space travel, or women’s place in society, they can rape, maim or lynch selected others anywhere at anytime.

Really? Is that what is happening in Appadurai's ancestral Tamil Nadu? What about Mumbai, where he studied? Who is the Shiv Sena's partner there? Is it Congress or the BJP? What is wrong with this cretin? Does he think dynastic outfits, like the Sena, the NCP and Congress aren't fascist because the hereditary principle is Monarchical? The BJP, because it is meritocratic, must be Fascist because it isn't Communist and all non-Communists are either Monarchical or Fascists.

Impunity means the right to brutalise others with the near guarantee of no legal consequence.

Appadurai has raped and killed trillions of imaginary people. That is why he has a 'near guarantee' of not being punished by the law. This means he is a Fascist. He is already urging Merkel to invade India. She could make a start by overrunning Poland.

Others have used the word impunity to describe the worst of India’s current civic order and public life. But where does this culture of impunity come from?

A dysfunctional Justice system. Cases drag on decade after decade. That is why people cheer the cops for extra-judicial killing.

First, from the utter cynicism of the top leadership of the BJP and their minions in all official institutions, at all levels.

But a lot of BJP politicians were from other parties and will go to other parties if they are denied a seat. Cynicism is a feature of all political parties. Only the RSS is not cynical.

The second source is the extraordinary corruption generated by the alliance between corporate interests and politicians, indeed an old story in India but now characterised by a level of official indifference which is unprecedented: the scale of disappeared debts in the Indian banking system is one symptom of the new corruption.

This is a holdover from the UPA.

The third factor is the thorough criminalisation of the legislature, at all levels, with thugs, rapists and killers increasingly and proudly deliberating on how to shape the law of the land.

Criminalization began in the Seventies. The RSS alone was untainted. That is why the BJP is now in power.

The fourth force is social media, which allows for a new and sickening form of proliferation of pornography, in which poor men consume images of rape, murder and mayhem because it brings them “sukoon” (calm, peace), as one recent report shows us.

Appadurai's own oeuvre is a form of mental masturbation- conjuring up images of Fascists and Nazis in tight fitting uniforms so as to jizz again and again.

This last remarkable story, in which a poor proletarian male from North India says of the easy availability of documentary rape porn in Uttar Pradesh, that it brings men like himself some peace or calm, gives us a clue to the most terrifying source of the current links between formal and substantive fascism in India. It is what we may call the syndrome of aspirational hatred.

Appadurai is spreading hatred of India. He is demanding that Trudeau and Merkel bring about 'regime change' in India. His 'apirational hatred' is fed by a masturbatory fantasy involving Fascists in highly polished leather riding boots.  He was probably stroking himself as he dictated this shite.

Normally, we associate the word aspiration with social and economic mobility, hope and legitimate social improvement for oneself or one’s kin.

Appadurai left India for Nixon's America because he aspired to be better off than those who he left behind. Sadly, many Indians who remained in India have grown richer and more powerful than he and his ilk. Their kids and grandkids can afford to study at the sort of place he himself needed a scholarship to attend. This stupid fuckwit is an 'Anthropologist'. Thus as India develops he loses obligatory passage point status. As a matter of fact, everybody now thinks of Social Anthropology, as an academic credential, as on a par with Basket Weaving.

No wonder Appadurai is consumed by hate. He had aspirations but chose the wrong subject. Other Indians became billionaires because they used their brains. Appadurai didn't and so 'Globalisation' has rendered him a nasty little wanker spewing hate at his country of origin.

But the Indian ruling party and the state elite have installed fear, anger, scapegoating and exclusion as the highest principles of civic and political life.

Appadurai is doing nothing in this article save 'install fear, anger, scapegoating and exclusion' as the 'highest principles' of his own academic subject.

Thus, aspiration itself has been redirected away from better jobs,

Appadurai can't get a better job because his brains rotted away in a worthless University Department

more economic security and greater social respectability towards a darker form of the revolution of rising expectations, in which the new role models are Muslim-hunting cabinet members, corrupt and sexually predatory saint-politicians and encounter-wise policemen.

Not to mention worthless Professors spewing hate at India and demanding that Merkel and Trudeau bring about 'regime change' there.

When poor and marginalised men, or jobless or badly employed youth,

or stupid Professors whose brains have turned to mush because of their incessant mental masturbation

or slum-confined casual labourers are motivated, mobilised and seduced by leaders of this type, who also offer them dreams of national and ethnic purity, they follow these examples in their own worlds, and hunt, maim and kill those to whom they feel superior.

Appadurai can't kill anybody. He vainly appeals to Merkel and Trudeau to do the killing he gets wet dreams about for him. Yet, he feels superior to the ordinary run of Indians who didn't emigrate to Nixon's America and licked every Departmental arse available till they got tenure.

Since they are guaranteed impunity (except in exceptional circumstances), the normal restraints of prudence, sanity and humanity are easily shed, especially when there is so little to lose.

Appadurai has no intellectual reputation to lose. Siddhartha Varadarajan, good American citizen that he is, is letting Appadurai jizz all over a page of the Wire. Why? Coz Fascism is bad, okay.

Aspirational hatred is hatred as imitation of one’s betters, and in India’s case, today’s most powerful betters are the worst of the worst.

There are few sad fuck losers who are hoping to get a Professorship in some Department still controlled by the gerontocratic Left. Appadurai offers them a mimetic target. If you want to get ahead, aspire to hate. Then people will think you are merely psycho, not unutterably stupid.
