Off late the
Jalikattu protest sky rocketed the world attention to turn and see Tamilnadu
spirit of oneness for the traditional sport Jalikattu and Peta Ban. Being a
Tamilan I support Jalikattu, but why all of a sudden it turned out to be highly
sensitive issue when actually it is supposed to be started at the time of Ban
by the Supreme Court on 2014. Whilst the ban was uplifted by the state
government it was overturned then by the Supreme Court. I truly admire the
spirit of oneness for the traditional sport.
Having said it is also painful to see the death of truth in this country and people are pursuing after postmodernism world views. What is postmodernism? Post modernism states that there is no objective right or wrong, in fact, there is no objective standard outside ourselves for measuring anything.

Post-modernist say
that each person looks within himself, creating his own explanation, for eg;
the reader has the rights to interpret the author thoughts and rob the role of
author and interpret in other way around or pretense.
But we do not need a
post-modernist pilot. When the flight is flying at 10,000 altitude level as per
the instrument reading, but if the pilot goes on saying that am gonna assume or
believe the flight is flying at 9,000 altitude, we do not accept that when we are
on the side of depending on the truth. Same goes well with the doctor if he didn’t
provide the right medicine after verifying the symptoms and says I think this
would heal. Everyone has the rights to reinvent the story.
Peta says we should not hurt animals,
but the bible says in genesis 9:2,3 I have given all the animals and birds and
every moving thing that is alive are given into your hands. God has given the authority
to human beings to have dominion over them. Here who decides good and evil,
right and wrong, if the Law(political) does, then who wrote it? Where is the
absolute?
So it is one’s prerogative to
decide and amend the law and rule the country and we are rightly into post
modernistic society where we have jettisoned the Truth. You shall know the
Truth and the truth shall set you free !
There is only one way which is
the Jesus Christ and through him we get the moral standard and eternity. Unless
our country is not built upon the moral standard it is impossible to have a
clean India, corruption less India, republic country and free society. We are
moving from what are rights to what are one’s rights!
We always knew Churchill as the
one who hated Gandhi and India. But his words, while speaking against freedom
for India are so prophetic..............Sir Winston Churchill... His argument against granting India freedom...
"Power will go to the hands
of rascals, rogues, freebooters; all Indian leaders will be of low calibre
& men of straw. They will have sweet tongues & silly hearts. They will
fight amongst themselves for power & India will be lost in political
squabbles. A day would come when even air & water would be taxed in
India."
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free – John 8:32
