December 2012: The rise of reality

They or most of us thought that India had developed and arrived. IT parks, malls, multiplexes, international brands and cuisine, and latest Hollywood movies. We thought that the world started and ended with 8-10% GDP. And in the next 25 years, we would become another US. The only US of South Asia.

We never realized that our men had not changed. They were always the dominant species with everything within reach. Unlike the standards followed in the cubicles of IT companies, men in India never followed, never adhered to, and never needed standards for either them or to what is happening outside. The absence of nothing to rein them and the chaos of how to rein them was the greatest opportunity. Standards were a deterrent and they knew how to subvert them.

Long before today's IT coolies started enjoying life, Indian men were enjoying life, women, and liquor. In various forms and cheaply. They know where to find anything they wanted and they knew how to snatch or violate anything that prevented what they wanted. India was never difficult for men. Never. Power, money fame, women, sex, liquor; every one of these items (if it were a user manual, I would have considered a bulleted list for the items as per the style guide) was within reach at any time of the day. You only needed to look forward and never backward. Indian men laughed at those who migrated to western countries for pleasure and money. They laughed because they knew all these were available at a cheaper price in India.

So, December 2012 showed all of us how monstrous men are in India. After the chaos and protests, everything will be the same again. Unless, someone starts to really do something.  A research into why Indian men have lost their souls.
