Marx not Modi is need of the hour for ‘poor India’, economic emergency looks inevitable

From salary cut to all parliamentarians till the financial end to cut of MPLADS (Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme) for 2 years, India is squeezing through the narrow orifice of survival.

India is awaiting the declaration of state of economic emergency by Modi government.  Once it is declared, none of the state will have any financial freedom and the state’s finance will be taken over by the central government and the central government also have the right to cut the salary of every state government employees and even the salary of chief justice of Supreme Court of India. 

The poor and utterly hopeless middle class working in private sector are seeing nothing but their death and the only question is whether they are going to be due to due Corona or due to starvation and loss of livelihood. 

Every sector starting from multi-crore business houses to MSME to several un-organized sectors are fighting their last battle for survival thankfully not even oxygen is available to them let alone ventilator support. 

Fear from corona as when the corona would attack them from one end and the hard hitting problem that starts from own empty belly and no means for any livelihood, the evaporating all the little savings all of them collectively and individually killing India inch by inch.  

From here onward, how the life is going to be appears to bother none because people have already gone lifeless and for the majority, the worth life is nothing but death. Thanks are not due to Corona but to the horrible lock down.

When governance of the state falls to the remote system of big brother country in the world, naturally the victim country has to display and portray what the big brother wants to watch and nothing else.  Today Modi has buckled India to international prescription and the price is, India has to dance to the tunes of western music and not Carnatic or Hindustani music.

We have heard the famous proverb “a friend in need is a friend indeed”.  But the friendship between Trump and Modi has brought out a new meaning to friendship.  Threatening and get threatened are also part of new era friendship at least between Trump and Modi.  Obviously the one who threatened was Trump and the one who got threatened was Modi. 

Obviously the above situation points that India has lost its sovereignty and independence at least at the perception level, thanks to Modi and his greed for international fame and reputation. 

 

We may fault Modi for everything.  But who knows Modi may be victim of his own making, adventured too many things and would have hoped that, through emotional appeal and rhetoric, he can win people.  

Hungry man will listens to Karl Marx than Modi, because Marxism is quite empowering the powerless to become powerful.  Marxism is voice of people and voice of especially the poor and the voiceless, worker force. 

Although the avatar of Lord Vishnu in Brahmin form -Parasurama can take the credit for making Kerala otherwise called ‘God’s own land’ but it was EM Sankaran Naboothiripad was the first to prove to the world that ‘worker force’ too can capture power and govern the state.  First democratically elected communist government in the world was in Kerala state.  Independence, revolution and democracy and elimination of exploitation and poverty were the founding principles of communist party. 

Equal human worth to all laborers, only Marxism and not Modi magic  has achieved.  

Thanks to the lock down imposed by Modi without any preparation, the disastrous recipe is going to make large proportion of Indians poor, daily wage labourers, insolvents, job seekers and street beggars.  A few higher echelons may escape, but only for the time being, Modi will ensure everyone soon stands in queue with begging bowl for a squire meal. 

A few capitalists are only going to dictate the market and the employment scopes in India.

Over exploitation of the ‘work force’, starting from scientist, teacher, IT professional, auditor or skilled and semi-skilled worker, will the counter product of the draconian measure taken by Modi government because that is corner stone of capitalism and feudalism.

Retaining the present job itself, even with bare minimum wage is going to be the real challenge than getting a new job. 

Certainly the second wave of Marx’s political ideology is going to get momentum among people because India is going to be the land of hopeless workers, wants wage and escape over exploitation by the capitalist.    

It is therefore Marx and not Modij magic is going to get traction if Marxism is presented before people as a solution and not as an ideology.

Angry man’s mind can be easily brought back to Marx’s ideology than Modi’s emotional call to light a candle, pray to Lord Ram etc.  Poor man need work, pay, food and life.  Modi has denied everything through thoughtless lock down.    People are longing and yawning for a solution and powering ideology and not a dictator and the best suited ideology for India is Marxism and not Modi-ism.
