Metamorphosis of Gaṇeśas: From the Catastrophe Incarnate to the Bestower of Success?

Posted on 21st September, 2024 (GMT 17:30 hrs)

ABSTRACT

The sarcastic as well as satirical paper-letter is an in-depth examination of the evolution of Lord Gaṇeśa in Hindu traditions, addressing the contradictions between ancient texts and contemporary worship practices. The authors write to the President of India, calling for the cessation of Gaṇeśa worship, arguing that it contradicts the Sanātana Dharma. The paper traces Gaṇeśa’s transformation from an anti-god symbolizing obstacles and calamities to a revered deity associated with success. It critically analyzes historical, mythological, and socio-political shifts that contributed to this metamorphosis. The letter questions the legitimacy of modern Gaṇeśa worship, linking it to political and ideological agendas within India’s current political landscape. Ultimately, it proposes halting this idol worship to align religious practices with the ancient Sanātana codes. The authors intentionally mask themselves as “Hindutvavadins” in order to expose the violent religious extremism of the Saffron Fascist forces and the utter fruitlessness of their agenda.

Shut Down Arms Factories to Stop Wars: Dismantling the Global War Profiteering Machine

  Shut Down Arms Factories to Stop Wars: Dismantling the Global War Profiteering Machine Posted on 23rd August, 2025 (02:00 hrs) ABSTRACT The global arms industry—worth nearly $95 billion annually—is both a driver of human suffering and a silent engine of ecological collapse. Wars claim over 2,000 lives daily, displace millions, and shatter societies, while leaving behind poisoned aquifers, fragmented habitats, and toxic soils contaminated by unexploded ordnance and chemical residues. Arms manufacturers like Lockheed Martin and RTX thrive on this devastation, rewarded by soaring stock prices whenever conflict erupts, while shadowy brokers such as Viktor Bout and Aboubakar Hima profit from prolonging wars that ravage both communities and ecosystems. India exemplifies this global dilemma, channeling vast sums into defense while underfunding water, health, education, and environmental resilience. The campaign “Shut Down Arms Factories to Stop Wars” demands dismantling this war ec...

  Justice via Intimidation? A Financially Abused Citizen vs. the Corporate-State Nexus Response/Statement from a DHFL Victim Harassed by Mr. Piramal’s Legal Machinery,  Intended as an Open Communication (as expected in democracy) to the Hon’ble Bombay High Court  Regarding Case Number S/42/2025 (and connected matters). Posted on 30th June, 2025 (GMT 23:01 hrs) ABSTRACT The author of this open communication to the Hon’ble Bombay High is a victim of the DHFL financial scandal. He reports receiving a Bombay High Court suit (No. 42 of March 17, 2025) unusually via the Mumbai Sheriff, which contained identity errors, redundant or blank pages, and a mere five‑day response window, compared to the 90 days apparently allotted to corporate plaintiff Mr. Ajay Piramal. He argues that this situation appears to constitute legal intimidation by a powerful corporate‑state nexus that has left him impoverished and unable to secure counsel within such a short temporal window. He highli...

Why Today’s India Cannot Deny Its Undeclared Emergency

  Why Today’s India Cannot Deny Its Undeclared Emergency Posted on 24th August, 2025 (GMT 07:50 hrs) Authored by  Partyless Society⤡ ABSTRACT This article examines the concept of an “undeclared emergency” in contemporary India under Narendra Modi’s regime, situating it against the backdrop of declared Emergency (1975–77). While declared Emergency was openly authoritarian and time-bound, today’s context is marked by a much more diffuse and insidious erosion of democratic institutions, legal safeguards, and civil liberties—achieved without formal proclamation. The article highlights continuities and ruptures across political, economic, and social dimensions: from the manipulation of electoral processes, enabling economic bankruptcies to enrich a select few, the subversion of the judiciary to the deployment of majoritarian nationalism and the criminalization of dissent. Unlike the past, the current phase relies on bureaucratic coercion, surveillance, and ideological consolid...
