It is almost a year since I published anything in this blog. I think I would revive my habit and try to post some hot issue pertaining to Kerala every week.
The rage of the season is about the fake saints that come up every now and then. I do not intend to mention any names, but I would insist on saying that the age-old practice of renunciation and acquiring knowledge through looking into oneself is totally negated; the present trend is to attract maximum number of people through some feigning and cheap tricks and make maximum money. The robe of the saint and long hair combined with something of a growth around the face might come in handy. The world is full of frustrated people who cannot wait before running to a new born trickster in search of a panacea.
The fun of the thing is that most of these tricksters get ample support and finance from the political bigwigs; their effort is well augmented by Government Officials and Police Authorities who also might have a lot to stow away from what they have looted from the public.
Whatever be the case, all the publicity, media coverage and the sham called investigations are about to prove only one thing - that is, nothing can be proved. Nobody will be convicted, nor will anyone proved guilty. The Government machinery is strong enough to achieve that.
