Indians need to stop viewing everything through Whatsapp prism. It has almost become a primary perspective & way to connect.
Accident, floods, quarrel, cute kid...Let me capture & share it on Whatsapp.
Even when families & friends meet, the discussion is around What is Viral.
And the opinions are never nuanced. Its sm lynch or love. As if we are part of 1 grand soap opera. We have a Hero, a Chanakya, & even a Bond. Who cares about the absurdity of the plot. Who cares if these characters are unreal. We want to be thrilled & feel proud
The price is high, so what. Don't people pay more for a branded product?
And day in & day out, the Anxiety Raj is as thrilling as a whodunnit. Notes can become invalid, state can become UT, Pak could be nukes out & newspapers could be fooled with a last minute CM
The news channels & BJP of course play to this. But check how many people who Oppose BJP , have asked today morning on your tl, who is the Maharashtra CM today? Then you will understand what I am talking about.
And people who asked, did Sharad Pawar know. You are part of this culture too. Do you seriously think a politician would not think about ED & think about playing both sides? The point is blatant institutional misuse & it should alarm you.
This is not an Abbas-Mustan plot twist. This is about Constitutional due process & democracy. You know that weird thing for which people sacrificed their lives & lifestyle?
And it is not a Maha Game of Thrones, you morons. It is a midnight hijack of democracy.
