The morning of 26th April brought with itself a shocking news scribbled on an esteemed daily news paper regarding naxalite activities in Dantewada district. The news said that Yelam (a maoist leader active in Abhujhmad) has announced a new program in which the pregnant women have to deliver their child in temporary camps under constant observation of medical specialists of Woman Revolutionary Organization so that these children can be made devoted fully for the maoist ideology.
This about to take place brainwash reminded me of Richard Condon's thriller novel "The Manchurian Candidate" in which the lead character is brainwashed to become an unwilling assassin of communist party. Thanks to Mr. Condon, this unfortunate event never takes place & the world is being saved. But how the Manchurian candidates of Dantewada will be stopped ?
Though, it's not at all a new thing that Yelam has programmed for it is being done from centuries to brainwash the child into some ideology as soon as they start breathing. The communist ideology albeit it's claim of being the one where religion is considered to be opium of masses & has always covered itself under the atheist cloak but still no less it's methodology is different from it's counterpart. Demented Friedrich Nietzsche has the right answer of this perplexity, for he moans that one should be aware of fighting the devil, there is every chance of becoming the devil itself in the end. Fairly enough, in this case, one has all right to decide which one is devil. I enjoy liberty of being in the middle where both are devil for me.
The disturbing news roots in the future when we will be surrounded by the brainwashed Maoists, their eyes soared by the ideology that has been fed into them when they weren't capable enough to oppose it. The only way for them is to accept it all meekly paving the path of their becoming fidayeens .
A very good friend of mine once wrote in his poem
All is well,
All is hell.

nicely described ur views. bt i think ther is some problem in over system which producing thease problems in our socity. we should try to find out them n try to remove them.
Undisputedly, the best piece penned by this blogger. The Manchurian Candidate is a metaphor for all that is wrong with mass-media: in particular, its almost infinite capacity- enforced by increasingly potent technologies- to 'Manchufy' our humanity. However, for better and worse, the factory produced manufactures of such programming no longer produce superintelligent assassins, as Mr. Condon would have it; au contraire, the world- on both sides of Churchill's Iron Curtain- has a surplus of dumbed-down suicides, frustated people like Cho, who yield free corporate access to weapons of mass destruction and are only too eager to justify their use of it.
It is a telling comment on our times.
