I was worried that everything got destroyed and went up in flames only after 2014, after Modi came to power. But Pankaj Mishra in his latest fact-free commentary has assured us that India’s downfall began in 1991 with liberalization.Phew!
Imagine if there was no liberalization which according to Pankaj Mishra benefitted only upper caste Hindus ( moon is made up of cheese, Shame on you if you didn’t know), nobody in India would dream about getting rid of abject poverty. 1991 gave people dreams& aspirations. Horror!
And these masses who now wanted to get rid of ‘poverty’ eventually chose Modi in 2014. Why should you be surprised with their evil action, if you chose to tell them abject poverty is not their permanent fate in 1991.
And horror of horrors, according to Pankaj Mishra even Indian cinema has changed. Where is good old poverty porn where hero died of TB in a squalid slum? It is this cinema that should be celebrated not evil cinema where hero has a job and a house and drives a car. So evil!
