Pseudo...

'Pseudo' meaning 'bogus, sham, phoney, imitation, artificial, mock, ersatz, quasi-, fake, feigned, pretended, false, faux, spurious, counterfeit, fraudulent, deceptive, misleading, assumed, contrived, affected, insincere' is a very effective prefix to nouns. It's a very potent weapon to hide personalized opinions and malafied judgments to pass as universally acceptable, nicely-packaged theories. Pseudoism is very convenient. It's a very presentable mask to hide the ulterior motives. Truth has never been convenient. Pseudo-truth is a sugar-coated candy, leaving us water-mouthed with anticipation. No wonder pseudoists have been more successful than their unprefixed brethren.

Pseudo-secularists (product of seven decades of pseudoist education under Congress) shine as orderly intellectuals; secularists pass of as mere bunch of disorderly people, not able to maintain the hypothetical sanctity of their opinions. Pseudo-nationalists like Nehru annexed power at the time of changeover, while true nationalists like Subhash Chander Bose, like thousands of others of his league, disappeared.

Isn't it the height convenience by pseudo-all Nehru, who was chronically friendly with Stalin responsible for the death of 20 million people. During 1937-39 alone 800,000 people were purged for being the imagined enemies of the state. Of the many theories about Bose's death, one is that he died in Stalin's prison in Siberia. Even BJP is playing safe and taking up the convenience of maintaining friendly relations with the erstwhile superpower at the cost of the reality behind Netaji's death. If they tell the truth, how will it affect our relations with Russia? Even if the theory of Netaji's death in Stalin's prison is true, nobody can blame Putin's Russia. That was under Stalin's Russia, who purged his own people.
