America, America

Hedgevar, by Hook and by Crooks

Deepa Mehta was strictly warned of the consequences of her actions even when BJP minister cleared her slightly modified script for the controversial movie project, "Water." The good news is the communist government of West Bengal has assured Deepa Mehta and her movie crew a safe shooting anywhere she chooses.

These Hindu hoodlums have made a big fuss last year over the Millennium hoopla and decided to celebrate their own version of Hindu millennium, a calendar year of some Hindu name which did not even end in three zeroes as is the basic arithmetic and logic of these hoodlums.

When I wrote a critical piece on Rick Rockwell's "Marry a Millionaire" Fox TV scandal and nailed the Americans for their stupidity, one irate American retorted that I do not know American culture and I am certainly not a person to make adverse comments on his cherished Americana, of which TV has become a central piece.

I almost jumped in my seat as he must not be aware of my writing, it seemed he came across my one single article and made his summary judgment. It is difficult to define American culture. In the world, American culture is taken for McDonalds and Coca Cola type cheap culture. American movies portray American lifestyles, slightly exaggerated and definitely glossed over depiction of gun slinging Westerns and gun wielding Mafia hoodlums who massacre their competitors in famous Valentine's Day Massacre in crime ridden Chicago of Al Capone's heydays.

If Hindu fundamentalists do not like their culture maligned at the hands of Hollywood or those independent movie makers like Deepa Mehta they should not rely on the images zooming past their chaste minds when they flock to watch American movies or cable TVs pandering to the lowly super rich Indian Hindus.

If there were no freedoms, the creative freedom of a writer, a photographer, a TV cameraman or TV program producer, a reporter or a traveler Hindu hoodlums would not know what American culture is or would be as they don't believe in opening their minds to the world.

The question is always raised as to the effects, rather carcinogenic effects of so called Yankee culture dominating or destroying local cultures. French take this encroachment very seriously and disallow even the common terms, not necessarily dictated by Americans describing things, objects or feelings which are universal.

Santa Claus image of a fat jolly old man distributing toys and gifts to children or anyone with stars in their eyes is a creation of advertising agency working to promote seasonal fare for Coca Cola. That is how American culture takes its imagery and icons. St. Valentine's Day as Presidents' Day or Thanks Giving Day are celebrated along with Christmas not as religious or patriotic days but days which are basically to go out and have good time. Enjoy a day with lot of fun.

The greeting cards business concept is essentially American. Billions of such cards for any and all occasions are printed in artful and thought provoking, poetic, funny message filled glitzy ways. Thank god for that. I can go out and find a suitable card for my sister's fiftieth wedding anniversary, her seventy-fifth birthday, her getting well after a mastectomy operation, her passing high school equivalency examination after she passed her fiftieth birthday, her first flight across the seven seas, birth of her first and the last grand child. Typical American genius in making it easy to celebrate and share sentiments otherwise lost as they have no particular importance or value other than to the well-wisher.

Hindus came out with vengeance and duplicated this get rich quick method and are offering mirror greeting cards for all occasions, including hundreds of religious motifs. Hindus, even poor families have taken to video taping their celebrations, especially weddings, first birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and such. If this is not aping the dreaded American culture by the same fundamental Hindus what is their problem?

These hoodlums are goddamned liars, that is their problem. Every mother fucking Hindu in America who enjoys all the best American things and takes great pride in his strong showing in the most competitive fields such as university admissions to the prestigious colleges and universities, being a successful entrepreneur making killings at his ideas getting ahead and showing his grit takes up a phony name, a number or such terms as "wildcardindian" forgets that it is American culture that brought him here and given him all those facilities denied to him in his cherished Hindu India.

If you think that it is unfair to make Indian culture look ridiculous think how many ways American culture is ridiculed? Nobody wants to give credit to American might which is as a result of the contributions from almost all the cultures in the world, including sewer culture of India. Talk is cheap and these Hindu bastards do nothing but chirping, burping, barfing and harping about American culture destroying their holy Hindu culture. It is the other way around. These sewer rats Of RSS terrorists are destroying American culture, both from within and from without, without as much as "Thank You for American hospitality, equality and justice they take for granted."

Thanks to the Los Angeles Times dated February 20, 2000.
