An Open Letter to Tanmay Bhat

Surya Prakash Pati 06 Jun, 2016 Opinion Tanmay Bhat

Dear Tanmay Bhat,

Lest you find relief with over hyped “wise words” of Sri Sashi Tharoor, who has been quoted and “liked” by the contemporary educated lot as “sensible”, please do read up Socrates and Plato [I am not quoting Chanakya at the risk of being shouted out as pro-saffron by ‪#‎Sickulars‬, who specialise in winning intellectual battles through diversion and political colorisation] , the widely acclaimed wise men who directed political and social thought centuries before Sri Sashi Tharoor and your below the belt brand of humour saw the light of the day.

If you find time from your desperate antics, please read up the paper titled “The Philosophy of Humour” by Dr. Adrian Bardon, a noted philosopher affiliated to Wake Field University and the President of Philosophy of Time Society. He writes, paraphrasing Socrates, “to feel pleasure at others’ misfortunes [in your case constructed misfortune] is to feel malice”(p. 2), which Socrates considers as the “pain of the soul”.

Before you and your supporters dismiss these words as “too academic” and “joyless”, it only refers to the absence of meaning you have in your life, which crops from a lack of individual identity. Individuals like Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar are synonymous with India and for your information Bharat Ratnas (in case your memory had conveniently forgotten this information). You can visit their Wikipedia pages to know their contribution to the nation (forget their individual achievements). If you believe you can make them subjects of your distasteful and tawdry humour, you are mistaken. Being intolerant is thus appropriate in this case and is within the democratic right of like minded citizens. In reality it is a response to you and your likes, who believe democracy allows everything under the sun, even brashness, disrespectful fact-less rudeness and often activities bordering on defamation and indiscipline.

So wake up for a part of India has woken up!

Who do you trust?

I’ll tell you, what real love is. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world
