Rushes...An Arabian Tale

Everyone, absolutely everyone, whether Leftist or Right-leaning or somewhere in the No Man's Land that they call Middle, must watch Arabikatha. It is a Malayalam movie by Srinivasan on the failed Communist vision. It made me angry, to see how ordinary people are taken for a ride in the name of an ideology that has veered from its lofty ideals long ago, especially in present-day Kerala. To see thousands of hard working folks cheated of their money, their lands, their livelihoods and their dreams, just watch it. By the way, the movie also doen't spare the Capitalist economy, as exemplified by Dubai's skyrises, being built by people forced to work in the 50 degree noonday Sun. 
The way to right injustices, especially those that seep to the dispossessed in every society, is for conscientious folk like you and me to write about them, for a start. This blog is an attempt to show up these venal, parasitic creatures (who make money at the expense of the "aaam admi") for what they truly are.
