ABSTRACT
The paper-letter deals with different types of intoxication (alcoholic drinks, wet/dry drugs/narcotics etc.) in the “ancient” South-East Asia as practiced by the “Hindus” (?). The perception of contemporary ethnographic Hindutva is suffering from a different kind of non-contradictory contradiction, at a time when the deep state has advanced organized religion as their vote-bank. Here, in this paper-letter, the authors set the tavern/pub as their centre d’ lumière. The authors, as bricoleurs, are again deliberately masking themselves in the course of composing the text following the Brechtian method as well as the Derridean deconstructive militant attack on the given textual corpus. By doing so, they are demanding a retreat to the so-called “sanātana” alcohol and drugs. They deploy Linguistic Paleontology and Semantic Theory as their tools to explore the domain of intoxication, keeping in mind the contemporary scenario of Indian politics.
