Sabarimala Franco Comparison on FB

I saw this Facebook post https://www.facebook.com/HindusandHumanRights/posts/2347913305219977 ...

The post is written thusly ...

"Non-Hindus wanting to liberate Hindu women from Sabarimala and Hinduism...set your house in order first
Kerala: Catholic Church threatens to expel nun for protesting against rape-accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal"

There a many fallacies here which I will leave as an exercise for the reader. I will just point out that all non-Hindus don't take orders from the Kerala Catholic Church authorities (and even many Catholics in their secular lives). Also it is pertinent to note that the Catholic Church to my knowledge has not mentioned a word about about the "Sabarimala Women's Entry" controversy or for that matter in any Hindu tradition or ritual covertly or overtly in the history of its presence in India.

for which the following was my response ...

which got deleted once and this is a screenshot of my posting it again. Fortunately I was writing this article and so had a cut and paste version 'in memory'.

Dear Admins, this is a very immature and false accusation on your part. First of all, the nature of those who are trying to get women of a traditionally forbidden age entry into the Sabarimala Temple is not 'non-Hindu' as sulked by you. This is a internecine war among Hindus alone. It was the RSS and some factions of the Congress Party which wanted to initially get access for women into Sabarimala to parade (in future) the contributions they have done for "women's welfare". The RSS switched its position when it saw the groundswell of Hindu (and Hindu supporting minority community) opposition to it. The RSS (and the Supreme Court) was / are trying to force a uniform North Indian type of Hinduism on all of India symptomatic of their narrow mindedness and geography of origin. Various Churches and the IUML party have come out in support of the traditionalists against the Supreme Court interfering in the practices of our Hindu brethren but then this would be counter to your narrative so you don't mention it. Yes there are all kinds of Hindus and non-Hindus on both sides of the conflict but the traditionalists have no idea (and possible no desire in many cases on) how to take the help of their non-Hindu sympathisers who are anyway rightfully reluctant to voice an opinion in matters that do not concern them directly. The feminist and leftist camps have however no qualms about shamelessly using non-Hindu friends who also like them - since birds of a feather flock together - have no moral compass and get their fingers into a debate that does not concern them.

The reason Fr.Franco was not arrested despite the brouhaha raised by the press is twofold - 1) There needs to be ample evidence to support his arrest. You don't just go and arrest any man accused by any woman. The fact that he is an important figure should not protect him just as the fact that his accuser is a nun or even just an ordinary woman be a reason to persecute him. There is a rule of law and it exists for a reason ... 2) There were more than 2 dozen accusations against the members of the communist party at that time of molestation of women. By not allowing the arrest of Franco even after it was permissible or warranted , the CPM CM managed to keep the attention of the press and public away from his party members who were being protected from their victims' legal actions.

Regarding the Catholic Church and the nun, there is a mechanism and legal framework to protest or complain to the church authorities which she could have used. That she chose to not do so OR probably was unsatisfied with the results if she did so, is why she chose to go to the police. When that didn't seem to work to her satisfaction, she went to the public and sitting on a protest is part of that. There are guidelines of behaviour for religious, clergy and others in the employment of the Church. You cannot violate them or use situations to act in a manner that brings disrepute to the church, even if you are innocent. I am not saying that she is lying , nor am I saying that she is truthful. There are mechanisms in place which may or may not be efficient in achieving the desired results. They may even be slow. But throwing tantrum or supporting someone who does so is childish and shows the immaturity of both the performer and the supporter.

I pasted it a second time and it got deleted again. It used to be the 3rd comment. It is now the 4th comment. in this screenshot. Let's see what happens ...

Yup it got deleted again ... Another point to note was that I was someone who had earlier liked the page. It seems I have unliked the page now. How this happened is a mystery to me.

Any guesses why a pro-Sabarimala status quo post has to be deleted by a Hindu right wing page ? Make your own guess ... Anyway here is the URL followed by the screenshot of the Indian Express Page to protect from URL death.

Welcome To Our Website ... www.ukfcet.ac.in

Today a friend (RJK) emailed the link to the home page of a website of an Engineering college in Keralam.

His desperate question to me was
" Of all the names, UKFC of Engineering & Technology
I dont get it. Is it that difficult to get a decent name? ".

Though I was appalled at the standard of writing on the Home Page, I was not surprised at what the State of Education in THE State of Education has been reduced to. There are many things worth considering here. We first take a historical look at the stakeholders of Kerala society.

In keeping with their altruistic and suicidal mindsets, for years, both 'the Catholic Church'  and - its bastard offspring - 'the Left', abhorred "Professional" Colleges. A profession in this article will mean an activity you could work at and "earn money". Oh the horrors - " 'selling something as nobil aas edukayshun for mani ! How could you ?', 'Teaching people a profitable trade/skill/knowledge ! Why don't you tell them to serve their fellow men and work for humanity?' ", etc. They were generally supported by the other (mostly collectivist) participants in Kerala society in where Merchants are considered 'cheap' or 'mean' people and only Land Owners or Factor Owners or Government Employees or Political Leaders or Religious Leaders are to be respected.

In this moronic but highly "educated" society in Keralam these days, Medicine and Engineering are considered the only 2 professions considered "respectable" . The Left opposed approving and starting private Medical and Engineering colleges for many years. So what did Keralites do? They went to the gelf (willing to do anything or to Africa usually as teachers), made a lot of money and sent their kids to the neighbouring states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to learn anything that was useful in the job market - MBBS, BDS, B.E, Nursing, MBA, etc. The Church was particularly disinclined to start Engineering Colleges as it "was not as noble as being a Nurse or Doctor" and "did not serve humanity".

The dynamic duo then had a change of heart. They suddenly decided that it was all good. Fiat Lux. And then there was light. Then the big bang happened, the sudden explosion of Engineering and Medical colleges out of a desert of cogunut tree greenery. The left and it's puppet student wing the SFI quietly grumbled and made a fuss but not strongly enough to oppose the entry of private players. Even so, they did try to usurp control of the private colleges once the money had been spent by the managements. This has been a regular pattern on Keralam over the past 6 decades. Oppose the rich guy. Make him wait a long time before he can invest any money. Then let him do it - act uninterested. Once he has reached a point of no return, harass him and usurp as much control as you can of HIS PROPERTY so that you can then play Elsworth Toohey.

The Christian Churches (mostly Catholic ones) on their part now have around 7 Engg colleges of their own and even their own private Engg University. Maybe they finally realised that the Industrial and IT Revolutions have done more for Humanity than Mother Theresa and the Dark Ages. Maybe it just made good business sense.

This explosion in quantity has - as can be expected - brought with it a decrease in the overall quality of the colleges and the students. They now try all kinds of tricks to recruit students and this free-er market in education has made Engineering, Medical and Management Education accessible to many more natives than it was a decade ago. It has also brought down the cost of Engineering and Management, drastically - if one factors in inflation. The SFI's opposition to Private Colleges was that poor students would be denied an "equal" opportunity. Well maybe they preferred it the way it was back then - when we were an egalitarian society -  where everyone was unemployed and miserable - EQUALLY !

The standards have also gone down in the way the colleges present themselves. Besides the poor grammar and spelling, they have shown some students who definitely don't look Keralite or Malayali but Caucasian. Oh Well ! I guess with 2nd generation Malayalis coming back home from abroad for a cheaper education, we need to make them feel at home and maybe get them to drag a few of their friends along too ... show them some Multiculturalism and create a nascent market for Educational Tourism and whatever new market there is to milk revenues from.
