Literary festival farce in India

Literary festival  organizers do not want to listen.

I believe in calling a spade a spade.

Any or all forum(s) or platform(s) of literature that do not allow various frames of references to be generated for perception, different perspectives for perusal, but instead, gets into parochial preconceived petrified ideological templated parade shows deserve to be ignored by all sane souls who would like to understand and learn and get enlightened.

So, I feel there are individuals, institutions and events which must be shown who or what they are.

Passive silence or violent reactions both give undue publicity to them, which is the only thing they are itching for.

These so called lit fests have become a littering pests long back.

It is a pity if someone takes them seriously.

Most of these bunch are backed by and even sponsored by certain ideological outfits ad nauseum.

They think it is their exclusive privilege to appropriate lofty titles and labels and assign terms or labels bearing negative connotations to their selectively picked targets.

These fests are the greatest disservice and insult to LITERATURE.

They neither help one to appreciate nor learn or understand anything.

They do not even offer great knowledge or multiple ideas to ignite thoughts.

These events are run by a herd from psuedo-knowledge industry for publicity and peddling some pet ideologies.

As Aldous Huxley writes in his essay ' knowlege and understanding',
" Meaningless pseudo-knowledge has at all times been one of the principal motivators of individual and collective action.......always results in the kind of mess .......they cherish the comforting delusion that knowledge and, above all pseudo- knowledge are understanding".

If I may use frank, brash and correct description throwing to wind any diplomatic terminologies these events are pure and adulterated filthy masturbation of select ideologies spiced with secretion of verbal diarrhea.
