Letter to mussolini.

A letter to mussolini from an teen admirer  of his.


The Estimable Mr. Benito Mussolini

To what do I owe the honour of being posed this question by Your Excellency himself? Indeed, such leaders as you have more pressing matters to attend to than inconsequential questions from such plebes as me. Deviating thus from the ostensible votaristic reaction that seemed to sully my first sentence, I must proceed to answer your question in good faith.

With a soul that quakes with fear at the very thought of disobliging you, I must command all the courage at my disposal to reveal to you that, while it is not for me to answer on behalf of my fellow plebes, I do most certainly not admire either you or the Fuhrer. Times, as you can unquestionably behold in person, have changed, and even by the generally racist paradigms of the early twentieth century, Hitler’s conduct had been morbidly beyond redemption. While the aversion towards you appears considerably benign in comparison, I derive the general impression that you are not highly regarded either, with one of the pop culture television series going so far as to describe a movie antagonist as the ‘Asgardian Mussolini’. That seems to be the best allegory so far from those who know you. In India, there seems to prevail an apathy and ignorance of you, whereas some sections seem curiously interested in Hitler’s autobiography while not truly exalting him. I had best not bordered the realm of apostasy against you by means of elaboration on how sordid both of you must appear to the average morality of the twenty-first century.

Most assuredly, however, I have the effrontery to so say not out of any sentiment of perfidy towards you but out of a sincere desire to see you command once again the respect of people the world over. That, I deferentially submit, is best achieved not through terror but unfeigned popular appeal.

That you have discerned the momentousness of posing a question on this blinkered question-and-answer website of repute is testimony to your estimable intellect, but I must with deference recommend greater tact with regard to your name, lest an author pen a flippant answer in response to a question from you, feigning his undying fidelity towards you, most unlike me.

Yours Baroquely

Vijay

Why there's no prom in Indian schools?

First of all , let's see what's prom is .  A prom is a ball or formal dance at a school or college, especially one held at the end of the academic year for students who are in their final year, the sophomores. And it has students bringing dates along with them. Boys and girls in school are supposed to ask each other out to be there prom partners. (Do you think any Indian parent will allow two people of opposite gender to be this close to each other?) This is what happened when this seemingly inappropriate posters of a telugu film called arjun reddy released  Look at how the so called cultural saviors are vandalizing  the public property just because that poster is a threat to their glorious culture (sarcasm). Now, as to why there is no prom concept in India? The reason is-: Most of the people in India are very conservative and talking and hanging out with opposite sex is generally looked down upon by the society it is said to cause distractions...

Rant (1)

  I stumbled onto this girl's profile, her bio read:   “Don't text me if you're not 6′1”   Her Display picture? The closest I could find in two minutes:                                                              Just a random pretty girl adding her personal preferences for dating in her bio, totally common and nothing problematic.   Now flip the coin.   A boy goes on to add,   “Hit me up when your waistline hits 24 inches.”   I need not even explain on what kind of reaction that guy will receive from others. Your mind would've also thought of the type of comments he may get.   When it's very much practical and controllable...

The ossification of free speech in India

" P ersons have a right or liberty to follow their own will in all things that the law has not prohibited and not be  subject to the inconstant, uncertain, unknown, and arbitrary wills of others. " Spake thus John Locke, among the most momentous leaders of the Enlightenment, the father of liberalism. It is not solely by virtue of our Constitution, but also in accordance with the most sagacious wisdom of our ancestors that we, the people of India, discern in one another an individual in one’s right, ever so unique. For it is nature’s very ordination that one respect the autonomy of the other. As do differ the genetic anatomy of two individuals, so do differ their streams of thought. A society best treads on the path of progress with free and forthright exchange of assorted opinions, for the benefit thereof is not merely intellectual but often pecuniary. The right to unfettered expression is an indispensable component of true freedom, for it is an impetus for the truth to emerg...
