Of Communism, Control and Cocaine

“NEW DELHI: Rahul Mahajan, son of the murdered Bharatiya Janata Party leader Pramod Mahajan, was hospitalised in a critical condition on Friday after snorting cocaine. Pramod Mahajan's personal secretary Bibek Moitra, who also took cocaine, died.”

Communism : Communism is the abolition of power of people over people. This means abolishing "oppression," whether the oppression be of nations by nations, classes by classes, women by men or any other division in society. Communism is based on mutual cooperation, peace and justice instead of oppression.

Control : To exercise authoritative or dominating influence over

Cocaine : A colorless or white crystalline alkaloid, extracted from coca leaves, sometimes used in medicine as a local anesthetic especially for the eyes, nose, or throat and widely used as an illicit drug for its euphoric and stimulating effects.

This is quite a sorry state of affairs Indian Politics is coming to. Well, we have all been there, done something similar im sure, but somehow this seems totally unrealistic especially happening to one family, which for a change, even being part of the BJP, never followed the Hindutva ideal. Pramod Mahajan was probably the single greatest entrepreneur of the BJP and to expect his son, currently being arrested for possession as well as contaminated (for lack of a better word) with cocaine, only shows the other side of Indian Politics..or is it the same side.

The ability to procure cocaine, first of all by a politician’s secretary speaks volumes about the levels of corruption. It happens everywhere of course, not just here, I remember my American exploits with similar subject matters, but someone of the likes of BiBek Moitra, who has been quite the pioneer, brash, impulsive at the same time extremely practical, is lying dead filled with COKE!

I’m not against drugs per say, even though I probably hate the thought of something like coke, every man for himself (the communist part of this post).. but the levels at which a small drug takes us..was it pressure, happiness of his dad’s death?(the worst scenario considering he was supposed to lay the ashes to rest the next day), or was it poison like the BJP men claim it to be, just to escape from the situation that a “Hindutva” is guilty of drugs!! Atleast, it was Rahul Mahajan only now, Bibek has had a history according to most articles, but still managed to find a place in the “sinless” party..Hypocrites!!

End of day, corruption, bribery, extortion, control, arms(lets not forget bofors) and now, drugs, what else is in store for Indian Politics??
