Mon key Baaten: Till Birnam wood remove to Duns inane,
I cannot taint with fear
Be aware of Mega Calamities ahead!
Free Market crimes against Humanity and Nature is the real scale of the magnitude of the man-made calamities!
Be aware of Mega Calamities ahead! For instance, Kolkata and rest of Bengal get the shocks and aftershocks so often as never before.
Mind you, the calamities would not stop within the Himalayan zone or within the coastline.
Media reports dilutes the crisis and reports only that an earthquake of moderate intensity of 5.6 on the Richter scale rocked Assam, Meghalaya, West Bengal besides Bhutan today leaving three injured and a lion sculpture of an ancient temple damaged.
Free Market crimes against Humanity and Nature is the real scale of the magnitude of the man-made calamities!
Even amidst these shocks and aftershocks we may not see environment consciousness whatsoever in metros including Kolkata, New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore or Ahmedabad! The humanity is all about indiscriminate urbanization and industrialization added with suicide infrastructure of nuclear reactors, big dams and business complex of every kind at the cost of mangrove, green and water bodies.
Humanity has to pay for that.
Humanity bleeds and we happen to be deprived of senses to feel it.
Tsunami, Kedar Water Tsunami and Nepal mega earthquake followed by scores of aftershocks have not changed the disastrous ways of business friendly governance of fascism.
Absolute Power Boom and Boom religious nationalism has inflicted humanity.
El Nino terror heralding drought was an excuse for SENSEX IPL which is followed by Monsoon converting into DOOB countrywide.
The ruling class and caste hegemony is not concerned with the plight of the agrarian masses. Neither it is concerned with the future of humanity nor civilization as it seems lotus of darkness blooming on every inch of land misused for moneymaking at the cost of harvesting.
They are not just rewriting history for ethnic cleansing with maximum venom of Apartheid against Non Aryan demography worldwide; in fact, they happen to be engaged in creation of calamities one after one to streamline the money machines and guillotines undermining the indigenous economy.
This unchallenged ownership of landscape, this absence of land reforms and finally this changing pattern of land use destroying green and water bodies do herald mega calamities ahead with greater slump than the great Recession 1930 resultant in Famine in Bengal and China.
Rulers in New Delhi would not recognize the Red Alert as they happen to be saffron blind not they would care as the culture of genocide is all about depopulation and certainly, calamities used for that cause.
Ironically, calamities spare no religious place, nor the gods and goddesses. Nepal and Uttara hand proved it time and again.
Someday, the great Himalayas would blast or the all the oceans would boil, so that the world on fire would shape in a Birnom forest to kill the clan of Macbeth!
