As it is for the past few years Chennai book fair has become an unfair leftover or left in the lurch LEFTyeast and Periyaryeast fermented fanatic festival sporting an aura of pseudo intellectualism or farce fair for literary broth à la confusing any piece of paper for literacy and assuming speaking in English as intelligent. These popular misconceptions are difficult to erase from the mass hysteria of the population.
One also will find exclusive stalls and statues for Marx ( even his family may not care), EVE raw i..., Che Guara ( cheque from vera country) on one side and on another excessive abject bhakthi manuals when the public need to be imparted philosophical thinking, rational perspective and scientific mindset. In between loads of stalls for children / kids, excess of IIT JEE, NEET coaching manuals, obsessive maths puzzle books and of course the inevitable food stalls.
Every day some talk shows on themes totally irrelevant to any walk of life but meant to generate controversies.
I am restraining with difficulty from unleashing unparliamentary language. What to do, we have not merely divided society on ideological basis but also sabotaged the fabric of culture in toto
