A box office script from real life.--
Hub switched on tv at 11 am and news was that Devyani the diplomat who was facing charges of visa fraud etc in US was heading back home.Each news on all 5 Eng channels were so contradictory that it simply confused me and seeing this asked hub me to read tuqlaq the Tamil political mag to get the dough on the on going row.
As per tuglaq this row is being pressed with great rigour by Cong because it involves Sonia Gandhi's future trips to US for health purposes, that is a case has been filed by Sikhs in US court and since sg is only a leader of a political party she has no diplomatic immunity and in the on coming elections she may not win or her party may not secure a majority and so she might not get immunity later either .. Since Cong cannot openly admit their dilemma ,public image etc,they are trying their best to quash judicial proceedings in US or influence the govt there to let go in devyani case ,maybe making it a precedent and paving the way for sg's future trips to US.
Now i could make some sense of the news that US gave dev a visa but asked the diplomatic immunity that Indian govt as i remember was hurriedly sought to be conferred upon her after her arrest by transferring her toUN , and US conferred it on 8 th to be waived so that she could be re arrested .Since Indian govt didn't waive she is being sent back that is, the US is sending the message that she has broken our--US law and that she will be prosecuted as per US laws if she remains or ever returns to the country..
So how does this play out for sg?Maybe like this---Even if Indian govt grants her diplomatic immunity now , if she lands up in US since a case by Sikhs have already been filed there ,the US may grant her visa but would ask the Indian govt to waive the immunity so that sg faces the music viz the court proceedings in the Sikh genocide case filed in us court by the survivors for which summons have already been issued and sg had to escape to India when it was served on her there during her recuperation
.
So sg cannot visit US to get treated for her mysterious ailment [cancer or pshycological?] she is suffering from .and has to get treated elsewhere.Frankly as a citizen of India do i care where she gets treated or not? Not much.Since she is wealthy and powerful she can go for treatment where she pleases .
OK now why am i so interested in this drama.Because i felt that my life was greatly entwined without my consent of course in this long event.I suppose all political parties in here and maybe the liberals in US played their role in depicting me as the middle class voice of Indian public to influence favourably that is in favour of the pawn or the bit player --dev in the deviously devised mega event for the sake of sg , whether it landed on its own or was made to land on the lap ,i have no idea,However it was a teaser ,a trailer for the real matter..--dev is also the proxy for the real big thing.
Why do i say so?
1. I knew i was being worked upon by pf and co constantly for past one month.The pressure was so high that i instinctively knew that the stakes were very high but couldn't quite put my finger till i read tuglq today and grasped the matter.
2. Till today i didn't know the link between dev and sg and me.i had thought in the first instance that it was to do with Aravind having to decide whether to form a govt or not at Delhi
3. i did link ak's decision and my opinion on the matter to having something to do with US.and thought that
that the US politicians were waiting for me to say that it was public preception that ak should form govt so that they may make lavish grants.But i refused to toe this line even under extraordinary pressure by pf and co.
4. The diplomatic row also broke out in the same time and i remember seeing it first on cnn ibn.and Cong and bjp spoke persons or those panelists in favour of bjp , started enacting the drama of injured national pride on TV A build up of non existent public pressure.This was more for bailing out sg and not about dev at all.!
5.As i had earlier surmised on my own owing to the extraordinary pressure i was under since the Delhi verdict was announced the real stake was Delhi and dev was a diversionary tactics [to the middle class tv watching me to lose my alertness] and if sg 's treatment was involved an tool to seek revenge if her party and govt could not get me to endorse ak and aap 's clean record.thus succeeding in their attempts to fund civil movts and then make them enter politics and then control the internal politics.
6.Definitely the ruling party is involved.Why? 1.To keep the party in relevance through backdoor ,that is in case they do not make it in coming elections and bjp does such civil movts sponsored from US dollars would come in handy to trouble the opposition 2. Take a cut from the largess that may have followed to keep the aap 's subsidy schemes afloat [in indirect manner]3,Forget the cut maybe take the fund in dollars to prop up a party which is similar to it but has jumped ten steps ahead in its costly promises and keep saffron .at bay.
I as a public of bharat was expected to show my disgust and shock at US behaviour.
Now what did i ,the show piece aam aurat do?, wrote diary after diary [under tremendous and dirty emotional and pshco torture] as was intended to, to provide a escape route to conniving political parties which could also include aap here, as well as liberals in US .But i didn't play ball that is act yes act as the conscientious voice of the nation --the public outcry because i actually and honestly felt the following
1.In ak's case it was upto him to take the call
2.If dev had flouted US laws she has to face the music there.
3. Then i realised that political parties were clearly using me as a pawn a pressure tactic or emotional blackmail in both national and international level and i wasn't one bit beholden by the conferment of this unasked for status.and that i would fight the aroma therapy, micro waves, ultra sounds, hypnosis,lacing my early morning dose of eltroxin a tablet for my hypothyrodism with the truth serum/that salty drug that makes me 'want' to write my diary early in the morning a habit that i have acquired only in past 2 years whilst i am putting on too much weight and losing concentration which i realise now is because i am not getting my regular dose but am taking a different drug altogether and coming to know of it only today--[13.1.14--this is an addition today after i fought the desire to write about political shenangins,that is my curiosity about sg's ailment and if it was cancer[as per net news],my preceptions, analysis etc the fall out etc, frankly after that contrived urge passed i am just not bothered now at 10 am as to what ails her and more bothered about procuring authentic eltroxin tablets and how to keep it away from adulterating hands and get relief for my ailment] and realised this overwhelming desire to do so was due to that early morning dose of laced eltroxin as well as suggestions into my half wakeful state at bed] and ignore the hostility everywhere and playing of events that is making total strangers enact luridly and suggestively what i did in the privacy of my bathroom or bedroom to shame me into submission, to the maximum extent possible.and try and stick to my original reaction and views when i read a news item or see it on TV.and not parrot what the political class wanted me to
4. On 20 .12.13 i realised with a shock that US has direct access to my house .i ll write the excerpts from that diary later.And was really shocked and repulsed at our govts total abdication of its sovereignty for selfish political gains as well as repulsed by y the opposition parties connivance
From illusory web[net--blogging] i have gotten enmeshed in a gigantic global Web in real life.
My real story could beat even Matrix which appears childish at front of what politicians and their side kicks can create to try and achieve their goals.
Who knows , some fellow in US or mumbai may make a film based on me and rake billions and give me my fair share a la Erin bronkowich, only i am a lot older .
.
Further i recollect now at 10 .30 pm --10.1.14 that i missed out mentioning my earlier sentimental blog on 'Surrender' which i blogged yesterday about how i appreciate a dreaded naxalites surrender putting idealism over violent politics after reading a lot of news items in net that were bent on portraying him a cold blooded killer as some sort of tragic hero struck by conscience conveniently hiding the fact that the police of Chattisgarh had made him surrender.I sort of went along with the syrupy stuff dished out by nearly all msns though when i first read it as a news item on newspaper i felt that he had surrendered due to fatigue of a hard and fruitless life in the jungles and nothing more.
Yesterday night i spent a sleepless night and my head cleared[worked upon by pf and co] only after a walk down the streets and park,and as the fog cleared it dawned upon me that as my blogs and even diary could influence decision makers ,[could be anybody ,but in this case surely US ] so hurried back home and immediately wrote down my diary at 9.30.am and then blogged it by 10 am ,cancelling my emotional blog on the surrender and clarified my true and honest opinion on the issue[[see my earlier blog]
And at 11 am that day -9 th ,the news broke on tv as i mentioned earlier that dev was heading back to India.
Now ,today at 10 30 pm after watching yet another debate on the diplomat on cnn ibn the coin clicked.Note what i deduce is with the help of that article i tuglaq and the pressure that was put on me non stop .the msns are totally silent on the underlying current of this whole episode.
ok the coin that clicked was this --maybe US decided not to press charges after reading my naxal blog and granted her diplomatic immunity .The court over there was sticking to its stand of prosecution but maybe just maybe something in diplomactic procedure could have been worked to free her from court proceedings -- setting an precedent maybe on humanitarian grounds a la obama care for sg as well in future but after i rushed back to clarify [ note i didn't know a thing about sg connection to dev nor did i then associate my blog to US depts decision then] my honest view at 9 .30 am today they or whom ever [,may be parliamentarians --this is as per tuglaq or even a international jury ]or India or both wanted to show me as a the emotional evidence , realised that what it would be seen through that what i wrote yesterday was clearly under pressure and wasn't my original view.
In this tricky situation the US govt may be[i am joining dots ] not wanting to go back on the assurance of dropping the charges they hit on the idea of giving the Indian govt the choice to decide her fate by asking them to either waive the immunity and face charges or frisk her back.we know what happened.
I may have played quite a big role in this dev episode without wanting to.May be i did save her from sure court proceedings but with my subsequent clarification may have aborted it .
Fine how does this pan for the more important person --sg as per tuglaq , behind the scenes involved in this
Not much bothered ,as it is that party's concern.
So this entire dev episode played out in the media could have been carefully choreographed with opposition parties ,diplomats journos doing their bit for sg either knowingly or unknowingly.
But a shuddh ghee public perception was needed and here is where the blogger sujata morphed into diarist sujata ,the scape goat ,zeroed on and tutored to parrot ,comes in .But after waking up to the reality of my position and resolving not to be exploited as a pressure factor and my natural rebellion against excessive coercion to lie for some body else's sake asserts when the fog clears i quickly set down to correcting and blogging or writing my actual view on the subject.Believe me it is quite indifferent and dry and not all that sentimental humanitarian hash that i am supposed to be overflowing with.
If there are some gullible viewers in the international community, especially western countries , the arbiters on human rights let me make the law of my country viz India very clear.[i have studied law]
1. There is no provision in the Indian law that enables the state to intervene into a citizens personal life unlike in wn countries, even if such a person is certified as mentally ill to give treatment .It is purely left to the family and the individual concerned .Hence even if pf is actually here to cure me [ which has turned exploitative]he is doing it surreptitiously since he has neither the legal or even moral or religious right as per Hinduism, the right to do so.
2.My strict isolation instead of allowing me to socialise resembles more of a house arrest and less of any tangible treatment. Again for the benefit of intl viewers this is being enforced without courts permission .An warrant has never been shown to me or my hub or son.
3.The above two is also not impelled by any altruism since i am being deliberately manipulated to appear as the voice of the Indian middle class whenever the political need arises much against my will.
International jurists with hearts that really bleed kindly bear the above three in mind whenever my humanitarian write ups are paraded because what was once ,[that is few years back] was voluntary, is now more or less coerced with a definite political motive ..

Maybe i achieved the following from 8 th dec20 13 to 9 th jan 14--
1.Prevented US or any other wn nation or developed nation in interfering in our internal affairs through the garb of donating funds and blocked international donations to prop up the aap with its super subsidy schemes for years and thus saved delhi's ruination of its development schemes in future and thus pave way for any govt which could be bjp or some other party to form a govt on grounds of development and sound economics which will pay the bill for subsidies if any, as well for all those social welfare schemes for poor ,downtrodden etc that are necessary .It is a question of self respect and self reliance.and confidence in our system to take care of our problems.
2. I would have saved devyani from a sure stint in US prisons .
.
Note all this is political fallout of my principled stand of which i am glad only of the first outcome as i donot want any international busybodies trifling with our internal affairs and of the second outcome i am not much bothered one way or the other.
