Historically, our masses were kept dumbed down with superstitions, rituals while knowledge, scientific temper were limited to a few. In the present times, such theatrics have same affect. Masses are being kept dumbed down. #coronavirusinindia 1/n

Instead of inculcating critical thinking, scientific temper, curiosity and hunger for factual information and knowledge, We have a large chunk of 1.3 billion people being doped on deranged superstitions and mindless rituals. #coronavirusinindia 2/n

As was the case historically, it's easier to rule & oppress dumbed down masses, most of whom are not even aware why they are doing what they are doing & that they have the right to question the Govt & hold them accountable. Every scrutiny is attacked. #coronavirusinindia 3/n

In all this, crucial issues for survival, betterment get no attention. Thus, we often see masses puzzled at their own suffering despite them following all rituals & superstitions. In fact, they blame themselves or fellow citizens while Govt gets a free pass #coronavirusinindia
