Tone Deaf Brahmins masquerading as Social Justice Warriors
Recently, I wrote an article on the spectre of humiliation I faced while at JNU on the website The Ambedkarian Chronicle. My life back then was quite erratic and sensational. I have so many ideas and arguments that one life is not enough for me to write on all those ideas. I wish I had a parallel life where I was only writing.
While I was in JNU, the leftist ganglords of academia were quite irked and felt insecure from my presence in the campus.
They left no stones unturned to attack and silence me epistemically by creating an excuse that I was abusive and misogynist.
While it’s a totally different line of thought that how does one being abusive tantamount to being misogynist, if he doesn’t hate women at all.
JNU is a place where I always had to maintain my cerebral hygiene because of the dumbness of people around who instead of understanding me tried to sabotage and sideline me citing my abusive tongue.
I would like to ask, who gives them the right to decide who gets to speak and who doesn’t? Who are they to decide who gets to publish and who doesn’t?
I used to abuse left, centre and right. I still do abuse but now I do it with my scholarship. I was trying to make a point that abusive tongue is the last resource for people living in exploitative structures to express their angst and their helplessness to be able to change that structure against the will of the ruling class. Despite being students of political science and sociology and what not you don’t understand that power doesn’t reside in political parties. Power resides in the group of people who are in decision making capacities in those parties. What happens is that a small elite group of people called brahmins are in that decision making capacity in all parties left, right and centre and all other castes are just trying to negotiate and bargain with the brahmin as the leviathan. It’s an unjust social contract which needs to be re-written. It’s not settled as yet and needs to first be unsettled and then resettled. Hence I chose to abuse them all.
While Brahmins will theorise even raping other man’s woman and write a whole ass text on the ways to do that (read Kamasutra), abusive tongue for them is so problematic seems to be quite ironic to me.
I can clearly see your tactics, you leftist ganglords. In your imagination, a person like me doesn’t exist who is materially not dependent on you in any manner whatsoever.
I am not dependent on you to carry your political activism because I don’t need a hostel on campus. I have enough capital to live on rent outside the campus. I don’t need your kindness or feudal mindset which will forever make me indebted to your goodwill.
Whatever I have is solely from my own people and not a dime is from the Brahmins.
And that is your problem, you are not able to situate me into neat categories of oppressed identification because your tone deaf training only teaches you templates of oppressed beings as crooked, wretched beings who need you as their saviours. Your thought is linear whereas mine is non linear and even algebraically multivariate.
It is taught to you that when you join JNU, start fundraising for marginalised students in order to arrange laptops for them. This is how you see Us. Voila! Now you are no longer seeing Us, We are seeing You eye to eye and you are shaken to your core. Your internal contradictions of spirit are now out in the open, and I am writing it out not to beg you but to deconstruct and delegitimise your illegitimate hold over knowledge.
