Rohit Vemula Act: An Idea to Keep the Country On the Boil...

 

The proposed ‘Rohit Vemula Act’ in Karnataka is straight out of the Cultural Marxist/Woke playbook aimed at keeping society permanently divided and inflaming a conflict that has no end.

 

Marxism’s core ideology is to divide society into ‘oppressor’ and ‘oppressed’ groups, inflame continuous conflict between them, leading to anarchy, violence, and destruction. In ‘Classical Marxism’, the basis of this division was economic - rich vs poor or capitalists vs labour. However, as the economic condition of the working classes improved, they turned their backs on Communism and happily participated in the prosperity that was being created in the democratic/capitalist countries.

 

In search of faultlines that would never be obliterated and the conflict across them would never end, they shifted the basis of societal division from economic to cultural parameters, like upper castes vs lower castes, men vs women, majority vs minority, etc. Their effort is to impose guilt on the so-called ‘oppressor’ groups and victimhood on the so-called ‘oppressed’ groups, thus making society fragile and dependent on the government for everything - an ideal situation for Communism.

 

Unlike economic parameters, oppression across cultural faultlines is intangible. The ‘oppressed’ can be easily convinced that, in spite of the economic progress made by them, they are still being discriminated against, just because of their group identity as a Dalit or an OBC. For example, if a general category student refuses a Dalit student’s request to lend him his pen, the latter can be easily convinced that he was refused only because of his caste. Making even a friendly, light-hearted comment on anyone from the ‘oppressed’ groups becomes ‘violence’ and is categorised as a horrible crime.

 

 

These Woke ideas are behind the horrific ‘Rohit Vemula Act’ that the Congress government in Karnataka plans to introduce. This draconian law proposes to make such acts of ‘micro-aggression’ by a student from the general category, against any student from Dalit, OBC, or minority communities, a cognisable and non-bailable offence for which he/she can be imprisoned for one year and can be fined up to Rs. 1 lakh. Worst still, the burden of proof lies with the person who is charged. It is a no-brainer that such a bizarre, brazenly one-sided law will be rampantly used for harassment, blackmail, and settling personal scores. The word ‘minority’ has been clearly added to appease the Muslims. Categorising Muslims in India as ‘oppressed’ and Hindus as ‘oppressors’ must rank as the cruelest joke.

 

Once your mind is possessed of this idea of ‘micro-aggression’, you tend to imagine insults in every interaction. This practically puts an end to any possibility of the oppressor-oppressed conflict ever coming to an end, enabling the Wokes to fan the flames of perceived injustice and to keep the country on the boil. Ironically, this is done in the name of ‘social justice’. However, the Cultural Marxists have clearly stated that their aim is not to flatten the social hierarchies and end discrimination, but only to flip the positions. The earlier ‘oppressors’ must now be ‘oppressed’ and vice versa, so that the cycle of conflict-anarchy-violence continues unabated, till the Marxist aim of complete destruction of the social order is achieved.

 

When you compare the provisions of this Act with the Woke ideas mentioned above, there is no doubt about the ideological fountainhead of this law.

 

Congress still has some nationalist, patriotic members. They must come together and resist such attempts to convert their party into a Woke/Urban Naxal destructive force.
