You might have wondered why he never blamed Kapil Sibbal himself when Mr. Sibbal announced that all complaints against A. Raja were false and there was no corruption in 2G Scam and all the big numbers of lost money as expressed by the CAG committee headed by Murli Manohar Joshi were false?
Well, one may understand that cheap news channels and news reporters like Deepak Chourasia and Star News and many other news channels are easily corruptible by themselves. They will always show that news and in that color, for which they are paid, and since they simply cannot reject the importance of government, they cannot talk against it too.
However, it is not about a few TV news channels or news papers. In fact, all so-called and obviously pseudo-intellectual journalists of India obviously found it easy to dump Ramdev and to support government and its barbaric actions against Ramdev. They will regularly update the nation about the barking words of Diggvijay Singh and they will keep trying to suggest that government was right in beating and nearly killing thousands of innocent and harmless people who gathered in Ram Leela Maidan to support the cause of Baba Ramdev.
Who support Baba Ramdev and Who Criticizes him and Why?
We first analyze the supporters of Baba Ramdev and his criticizers.
Most of the criticizers of Baba Ramdev are those who consider themselves as the great intellectuals of Indian society who can bring great changes in the perception of Indian people. These are the famous journalists, columnists and writers of Indian Newspapers. Irrespective of their own lack of knowledge about economic and administrative aspects of a democratic or any type of government, they will act as if they are the only righteous and intelligent souls of India.
Most of these pseudo-intellectuals have extended their support to Anna Hazare. While mentioning the support for Baba Ramdev, one of the columnist of Times of India said, “he is backed by people who don’t think. They will fast with him, and they will, if given a chance, die with him. And like the misguided terrorist, they will have done so thinking they will go to heaven directly from the Ram Lila grounds. What better way to die than your favourite yoga teacher conducting the final tour from earth to heaven?”
He further said, “Ram Dev has a disciple basis whose core is the naive, intellectually challenged lower middle class masses of rural India, and they run into their mystic millions, as illustrated by the 60 lakh and counting missed calls to volunteer for the Ram Dev movement. This is not the candle brigade that gets into action when socialites are murdered and justice is not done. This is the cattle brigade.”
So you see, these intellectuals think that anyone who is supporting Baba Ramdev is no less than a misguided terrorist, and they are no more than a cattle herd or brigade.
So Hazare fighting/fasting against corruption is ok but Baba Ramdev doing the same is not acceptable. Why is it because supporters of Hazare are urban (and easy to talk to or understand) or more middle class while poor Ramdev's followers are rural or as he has called them ‘cattle’? Another thing just for moment substitute Ramdev's name with Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, bingo don’t you get an article that could have been written by any bigoted white racist reporter when Gandhi was leading one of his numerous Satyagrahas. On second thought I don’t think any Englishmen would have stooped so low and exhibited his bias so openly.
While reading such columnists and journalists, what I come to realize is that they are nothing but a group of bigoted hate-mongers and their vile diatribe is nothing but frustrations of sycophants no longer in fashion. They say – “Ram Dev has a disciple basis whose core is the naive, intellectually challenged lower middle class masses of rural India” - I personally know retired Army Generals, serving corporate leaders and many more urban followers who are a far cry from the description you provide. They state - UPA government’s sophisticates like Kapil Sibal and Pranab Mukherjee are desperately seeking to engage in dialogue - Really? Sophisticates? They sure live in a delusional world I must say. Why do they stop short of saying - the learned sage Manmohan Singh and the Goddess incarnate Sonia have been so maligned?
Some people comment that Baba Ramdev is just a eigth-class drop out. They do not realize that even Bill Gates was an eight class drop out. Dhiru Bhai Ambani wasn’t an erudite; even Albert Einstein wasn’t able to clear his German schools. They also do not realize that even Mahatma Gandhi didn’t take birth with all the intelligence required to be a libertarian anti-government and pro-self governance person.
Now check out the intellect of these pseudo-intellectuals.
I, being a libertarian and a proponent of Austrian economy, understand that the call of Baba Ramdev to bring back all the black money stashed in foreign banks will do nothing good for India even if it is returned back. However, none of these so-called erudite and well-educated journalists and politicians like Pranab Mukherjee and Kapil Sibbal understands that.
You know, we don’t need money for better living, we cannot eat currency. What we need is wealth. Even if all the black money is brought back to India, what will happen? As a matter of fact, it will bring inflation and poverty. Why, because it will increase currency, but not the wealth of India.
If increasing currency could remove poverty, why doesn’t Government issues notice to RBI to print a huge amount of currency to be given to all poor to make every poor a millionaire? That will not make them richer. The increase in currency will not increase the area of cultivating land, nor it will increase area of jungles, nor it will increase number of farming tools, machines and tractors, nor it will increase the number of schools and roads and thermo-electric plants. Since the quantity of food grains, medicines, leisure goods and other amenities will remain same, the increased currency will only increase the prices of goods, and it will bring inflation.
It is not like Indian leaders cannot understand this, but they cannot accept it. If they accept this fact, they will actually accept that Indian people doesn’t need government. Because just like the currency printed by government is not wealth, it is also a fact that government cannot produce wealth. It can only destroy wealth as is happening in India and every other country since ages. Every year, a huge quantity of grains is left to spoil in Governmental store houses while many Indians die of hunger and malnutrition, many farmers commit suicide.
So the idea, that bringing back foreign currency will make India rich is typically false. However, isn’t it noble? Not everyone can be an intellectual or intelligent person. Does this make a person lacking his human rights? Baba Ramdev is certainly not as intelligent as Mahatma Gandhi was, yet, he has similar rights as Mahatma Gandhi had or any other person in current world has, he is a human and a noble, respectable Individual. Government’s action against him and his followers at Ram Leela Maidan are certainly condemnable.
Now check out the favoritism of these pseudo-intellectual Indian journalists. They support Anna Hazare and his call for LokPal Bill and they also claim that Anna Hazare is a Gandhian and every Indian should support him as he will improve India and Indian government, he will remove corruption.
It is the biggest proof that all these intellectuals are nothing but big idiots.
Just like the call for bringing black money back in India is useless, the call for Jan LokPal Bill is also useless. Why? Even if Anna Hazare and his civil committee succeeds in bringing Prime Minister, Legal System and All bureaucracy under the surveillance of LokPal Committee, who will check that the Lok Pal himself is not a corrupt? If Prime Minister himself can be a corrupt person or such a person who will compromise with others on their corruption for the sake of his political ruling power, why the civilian LokPal will not get corrupt or bribed?
Why do these idiot journalists and columnists and these respected members of Lok Pal Committee civil society believe that only politicians can get corrupt and not a common men who will be the chairman of Lok Pal Committee?
In fact an omnipotent Lok Pal will soon become a dictator. He will lead India like a dictator and things will go worse and there is no doubt about it. Any person with such huge power to write the fate of anyone in this whole country will certainly become a corrupt dictator.
Do I support Anna Hazare or Baba Ramdev?
I support them as a human being, but I don’t support their calls for Lok Pal Bill or bringing back of black money. I was feeling hurt and crying when I saw Delhi Police beating the supporters of Baba Ramdev, I felt like reaching to Delhi and fighting for the honor of Baba Ramdev, I am a atheist, and I am a slim and healthy person without doing any Yoga, I don't know if Yoga is charismatic or not, but I respect Baba Ramdev for being a human and I believe he is honest at his heart to the core.
Why do I not support their calls for checking governmental corruption?
Because I know that if there is government, there will be corruption. Being a libertarian, an anarcho-libertarian, I cannot support these good and respectable human beings until they demand for complete freedom, self-governance, Sampoorna Swaraj!
If there is government, there is corruption, bribery, injustice and inequality. To remove corruption, bribery, injustice and inequality, there is only one way, remove government.
