Indians are currently going through what we call “Shamshan Vairagya” or in better words, “Deceptive Detachment.” But once this all gets over, we will still vote for Mandir and highest Statues rather than hospitals and educational institutions.

We will go back lynching people who question claims that peacocks mate with tears. Journalists will jostle to get into the good books of “You know who” and will put GPS chip in Rs 2,000 notes. Gauri Lankesh will die again.

Pan Masala and Gutkha shops will be back and people will paint the town red.

Reasoning will get get confined to “Competition Success Review” and competitive exams and any resistance to unreasoning will be drowned in cries of “Jai Shri Ram” and “Soldier, Soldier.” “You know who” will make Nehru rise from the ashes like a Phoenix every time they need to pass the buck. “Chalta Hai” will become a norm again.

I really pray from the bottom of my heart that Indians betray my pessimism.
