I Am The Maitreya

I’m a paradox to the conventional wisdom: that one grows wiser with the age, but, opposite is true. I haven’t seen a shred of wisdom in me after a few decades of existence. I’m still waiting for my epiphany to strike to transfer me into a true Maitreya. Sooner the better, then I’d not have to leave my family behind for my nirvana.

Last week all (well almost all) desi diaspora in the U.S got exuberant over Boby Jindal gubernatorial victory in Louisiana, the first of Indian origin to hold the governorship in the U.S. I believe there have been House of Representatives earlier of Indian origin but not a governor. Mr. Jindal victory in the land of White Supremist does tell one thing—times are changing. But, don’t get your hopes any higher, he won the race on GOP ticket and under the Jesus’ banner. So, personally, I don’t see, why any Indian for that matter any desi should be happy over his victory? Get happy just because, his color tone is same as yours, or for providing the hope that even brown people can do? I would be truly happy the day when immigrant can win the office without compromising his/hers values whatever that might be, then the playing field has been indeed leveled. But, no matter how much the social game is rigged, playing field is more leveled than anywhere else in the world. That’s a sign of a healthy democracy and liberty, even if it’s not perfect one. Imagine anywhere else in the world wining an office by the immigrants.

Largely, desi diaspora can be categorized into ‘Conservatives’ and ‘Libertarians.’ I believe 95% can be safely put into Conservative slot. By conservatism, I don’t mean by American standard, I mean by their own preconceived and inculcated values that they got from their own motherland before getting of the boat wherever that might be from, like not eating beef, pork etc. etc. marrying their own kinds (but sleeping with everyone), diligently following their own religions, and so on and so forth. And there are these fucking self hating liberal desis, who look at the rest of the 95% and wonder why the hell do they come to this country at all with all that baggage? If they can’t let go off this baggage, can’t they try to make it any smaller so that it won’t intrude into someone else’s space? ‘Baggage’ was in rhetorical sense, but I’ve seen people coming with ‘lottas,’ and vehemently arguing on the plus side of using lotta over toilet paper.

Oh! How prompt we are to protest on the slightest racial remark or behavior from the White people? But has no problem separating your own sisters/brothers from their lovers who are not of the same caste as you are even though they are of same nationality. And go in 50 states nation hunt for the right caste boy, all in the name of preserving your culture. Irony, no one sees racism in that.

I’ve heard numerous complains from the people and concern from the government on few sprouting churches in KTM that they shouldn’t be allowed to operate at all, while we enjoy the liberty of building the biggest the and most expansive Hindu Temples and Mosques in the U.S. Take that right away and Hindus/Muslims organizations would be all up arms in Washington D.C. protesting the U.S hypocrisy on secularism and personal freedom to worship any kinds of God. But, when Nepal was declared secular, the same people went ape shit about it, they saw it as attack on their age old culture. I guess they need to relearn the word ‘hypocrisy,’ but that wouldn’t help, since these are senseless, irrationals bastards who have just migrated their ass to different land mass to litter with their poops, while they left their heads home. Muslims are the worst of the lot. Hanuman, save them as well.

Deport all these fucking desi conservative bastards. By the way, I am libertarian, if you haven’t figured it out yet. 

Oh! Beside these two ‘Conservatives’ and ‘Libertarians’ the third kind is ‘Green.’ That constitutes 99% of the desi population. No, I’m not taking about environmentalist; I’m talking about Dollar Green. The most interesting of the animal are the ‘Green Conservatives.’ Who are oblivious of all the social and political happenings around them but busy collecting $$$. They come with all kinds of professional expertise—bugger flippers to Scientists. They wouldn’t notice if Ku Klux Klan wins all Supreme Court seats, or wouldn’t care, since they will be too busy looking at their bank account whose number goes up every minute. These are the Jews among desis, financially successful and astute, but wouldn’t hesitate to take a pound of flesh for a profit or give away a pound of own flesh. Brown Shylock that we are.

We’ve become slaves in search of a freedom.
