The world of untruths

We are living in a dangerous world, partly because the “manufactured uncertainty” by the high and might people of our society constantly threatens the very existence of a balanced social fabric; furthermore, if someone aspires to bring the truth to the fore, either the person is forced to keep silence or in extreme situation, if the sinister design of the power monger doesn't allow the expose, the person in all probability kisses the dust, and this conspiracy of power tussle what we experience in our daily life is the handiwork of those people who have mastered the jugglery of deception. A deception that's often painted as social reality wherein the truth that we see, hear, or speak is a concoction of grand design exclusively portrayed by the barons of power.

The surreal scenarios in our society seem more intriguing that the most astounding fictional plots. If we look at the events happening around us, only one conclusive though pops up in our mind – whether there is any amount of truth in the final verdict. Perhaps, we are not sure about that. That has been the tug-of-war among the rulers and the subjects across the world since civilization took its wing.

From politics to business to media, every center of power house has its own design to rule this world. In that lies the undecipherable mystery code that constantly endeavors to clone the diabolic program to marginalize the larger truth. On surface what it always seems a visually appealing frame capturing the most feel-good moments of human excellence, which turns out to be the most sought-after human desire for majority of the world population, is undoubtedly a spurious portrait of half-truth, the rest being a calculative transformation of lies. For a moment we forget the fact that all that shines isn't gold, it's gilding of base metals. Perhaps, this aspect of human perception becomes a perpetual key for the tyrants of society to embark upon a sinister design as how to rule the subjects in an incessant manner.

Let's have a look at the terrains of global terrorism. Leaders of all hues and shades condemn it in the toughest possible way forgetting the fact that the state of terrorism today is a handiwork of some yesteryear's leaders who during post cold war era impregnated the theory of “calculative political destabilization” in enemy countries by introducing some dreaded rouge elements of society, in that they gave birth to a dangerous Frankenstein that has been haunting this world every now and then. Over the period the hobnobbing of power circle with these rouge elements became an underlying syndrome that hardly the public could able to gauge, but at every turning point these innocent people became the victims of somebody's mistake.

Without any apprehension, the series of events starting from 1993 Mumbai blasts to 9/11 (WTC terror strike) to 26/11 (Mumbai terror strike) to the most recent 13/7 terror strike in Mumbai narrates the dangerous cocktail of ruling class and rouge elements whether they are terrorists, maoists, or small-time criminal. A spurious cocktail in which either the so called villains as portrayed by the rulers of our society or the tortured subjects who take on arms to establish their age-old angst against the ruling class has eventually intoxicated the entire society. So what's the real truth behind this dangerous game? Does anybody attempt to delve deeper into the complex aspects of this problem? The truth is we don't want this world to be free of problems because what these power mongers would do then in future. We all are living in a world of serious denial, an inherent human attribute that proposes more dangers than safe and security.

Oh yes, when we struggling here to find out the exact meaning of the truth, the global media baron Murdoch who once proclaimed bringing truth to the public domain is the ultimate gimmick of media is now facing the music for his ultimate truth seeking shenanigans that he deployed to unearth anything and everything at the cost of ethics. For him truth has an altogether different definition that understands the logic of business expansion by not exposing the truth, but by twisting the truth to such a proportion that can attract more readers and audiences to his media products.

Back home, the scandal-tainted government is pushing hard to subvert the truth by restricting public access to information in the pretext that right to information for certain domains of governance could jeopardize the security of nation. In that move lies the vested interest of political class that always desires to be above law irrespective of all wrong reasons. The noose tightens against the truth.
