The time for handing over the famous Sabarimala Temple mega gold thefts in Kerala to Interpol is long past! Then, the entire accused and suspected, the culprits and collaborators and the conspirators, both native and foreign, will be caught and the Kerala pseudo-Marxist government, an atheist band, will topple down. The war is on with central government assistance to prevent this from happening! Sabarimala in Pathanamthitta District in Kerala is a jungle mountain shrine in the midst of a normally unreachable protected dense tiger reserve forest where the temple happened to be in the past to restrict travellers. The High Court of Kerala has observed that without full governmental support such a massive series of thefts could not have been organized there, and all the culprits arrested and jailed so far are top government-appointed officials. Most are still lurking in the dark.

What is said to be a government, for those involved in this, is more valuable than all the valuables and artifacts lost at Sabarimala. The one worth more than that is the one in the Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple in Trivandrum, where the world’s greatest wealth in a temple is supposed to be buried in still-unopened underground cellars. The Kerala’s Marxist Pinarayi Vijayan government's attempt to take it out and put it in an exhibition and then steal it like in Louver Museum in Paris has not been successful so far. For that even a sky survey using a foreign corporate friend's helicopter had been conducted at night when there was the most thick security deployment there- in fact to gauge the same and to see how thick it was.

The Marxist government in the state, and the BJP government at the center, who are in a serf-landlord relationship, has joined hands to set up a Special Investigation Team in the state police in Kerala, as well as launching the ED, CBI and IB agencies of the central police into the investigation. What experience do these have in investigating international temple robberies of great magnitude, especially in investigating pilferage of ancient artifacts to abroad? Even the one culprit in a massive previous case they claim to have captured was actually caught by foreigners in foreign agencies abroad- in New York it is known. Many of them have already prepared reports and submitted them to several places.

No matter which agency of these, they are all subject to the control of the state or the central government, completely subservient and obedient to them, and an independent investigation is unheard of till date. They have proven it in many investigations. They have not brought a single case to a conclusion in recent times that would have earned them respect from people. In fact they botched all investigations. They will either abandon the investigation midway or wreck it in court- complete political subservience. Have any of these agencies who have investigated several crimes in Kerala where the top-most political brass was involved ever passed through the doorsteps of the Chief Minister of Kerala who is named in many of these and who is protected by the BJP government at the center? When you say you are an investigator for a great country, don’t you need some self-respect?

All they are investigating is about the few items that were once visible on the outside of the temple, such as the artifacts and sculptures on the buildings and walls, and whether they were sold in India. They have not even had the courage to start an investigation into how many of the valuable and exquisite items that have been donated by people to Sabarimala through decades and that have otherwise been there, hidden from the public eye, have been taken away.

It is believed that it was Interpol who stirred up a hornet's nest by giving secret information to a former ruling party leader in India that many ministers, officials and prominent figures in the administration from Kerala were roaming abroad and that there were suspicious transactions and deals, and had several including the Chief Principal Government Secretary of the Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan got caught by the Customs of India who had been silent observers until then, leading to the Kerala airport gold smuggling case coming to light. Except for Israel's Mossad and Britain's MI6, no one else would provide such comprehensive information. In addition to conducting the assigned investigations, isn't it their job to provide the information they receive to those they believe have a sense of responsibility? Isn't it a police coordination of many countries led by many governments? What are the Marxist Party and the BJP to them!

They may have been also the first to report the ongoing idol smuggling from Kerala to foreign countries. If the first and second reports were given to the Indian National Congress which has ruled the country for many years, it is relevant. Why can they trust in these two cases involving gold smuggling only the Congress which has ruled the country for so many years and why not the Hindu BJP government now at the center which is the protector of the Marxist government in Kerala which is the culprit in both of them, is a question.

One of the distinctive features of Marx's writings is that, even after so long since they were written, the political and economic analyses in them continue to attract the attention of the world. It is doubtful whether a single day has passed since then when they have not been discussed. But are there not co-authors, partners, multiple sources, derivatives and roots in that body of theory? Isn't it clear that it is ambiguous in many issues affecting man, society and the world?

Marx did not, as was the custom in his time, give much credit to the biblical theory of creation, but to Darwin's theory of evolution, and to the theory that nature itself selects the fittest for survival through competition for existence. As for Darwin's theories they were also influenced by Malthus's theories on the distribution of animal populations and the disappearance of species, which theories are still very influential not only at that time but also today. Malthus (Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834) was the initiator. Malthus, Darwin, Marx was the order. With the addition of the three more sources roots fountains, of English Economics, German Philosophy, and French Socialism, Marxism emerged.

It was Malthus who laid the foundation for modern environmentalist thoughts too. The fact that Marxist thinkers all over the world were, and are, generally environmentalists too should also be considered an influence of Marxism. Whether that also came within it from Malthus is not intended to be made a matter of controversy here.

Malthus was the son of a friend of Rousseau, the eighteenth-century French philosopher who challenged the biblical doctrine that mankind was born sinful because they had eaten the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden and had learned about sex, and who promoted a new revolutionary idea: that man is born good and that it is the institutions of society and the state that make him bad. His father was also such a person, and Malthus' revolutionary writings were born out of the discussions between father and son. Although he accepted some of his ideas, Marx did not have the same respect for Malthus as he had for Darwin, and Marx had written specifically about it. As a result, later interpreters of Marx have dismissed Malthus's influence on the origins of Marxism.

Marx had also accepted as such Rousseau's argument that all the evil in society is due not to man but to the conviction of private property maintained by social institutions. This was the basis for the core of Marxism, which was that private property would disappear and be taken over entirely by the state under communism. Although communism did not come about in Russia, when Marxism was introduced, private property did disappear under the state. If this had not happened, that system of governance would still have been existing in Russia. Accepting Rousseau, accepting Darwin, and rejecting Malthus the central point in between, is the defect not in Marxism but in many later Marxist interpretations.

Why did the all-seeing, all-merciful Creator God allow such widespread sufferings in the world, both in nature and among humans, was a big question in religion and society at that time. Marx’s was a revolutionary ideology, with interpretations based on capital and capitalist exploitation, about what was the cause of this widespread sufferings and how to solve it. But Marx could not accept Malthus's answer to the same question which did not go well with his theory, and besides, there was no room for it in his theory. So he maintained a consistent distance from Malthus.

In short, Malthus’s answer limits itself to the inference that God’s contribution to man is limited to endowing him with a body and mind by forming them from soil, is forming mind from matter and giving it to him. If the mind is there, and if there is its capability of self-development through experiences and thoughts, then all the conflicts on earth can be survived. And that mind is there no matter what! Nature is full of conflicts, and hasn't all living beings, including humans, experienced it enough and have not to go with them? The internal turmoil and volcanic eruptions of the earth have not yet ended; nature has not become calm and composed, so how can humans experience a life free from suffering and pain? If there were no suffering, would anyone do any work? So how can Marx who judges man by mathematical standards accept Malthus' answer to the question of suffering? But if these thoughts had not been there, then the thought processes of the atheists Darwin and Marx would not have been there, they would not even have arisen.

Bernard Shaw also had said that Darwin, with his theory of the survival of the fittest in nature, created a vacuum where the ideas of God and religion had existed. Marx did the rest. It is through these two men that God and religion have become the most insecure in the world.

There is a vacuum in the electronic governance in India, there is no one there, no one to listen to you: your email IDs just go into their databases, and they just sell it! Since all these data comes from India where the most people in the world use the internet, there is a good demand for it in the business world everywhere in the world. It is only that instead of going through the roundabout route, the state and central governments and the private and governmental agencies whom the governments entrust this task with in India are taking the straight route! This is exactly how it is in states like Kerala, which are rife with corruption. They have given several email IDs and set up several websites to listen to people's complaints. An experiment showed that the most crooked among these in Kerala are the Human Rights Commission, the Child Rights Commission, the Women's Rights Commission, and the Minority Rights Commission, which are shields set up only to protect the government. Whatever information you provide, they will immediately hand it over to the perpetrators to take precaution. After extracting all the information you provide, they will just sit and spin there in front of you like a thief, without loading in full, without giving any response.

They are running these only to find out about the general shortcomings in their administration and to know the opinions of the people about them- not to solve them. After extracting the information and personal details that you compulsorily have to provide, they will expire on your mobile phones and devices. The most that can happen after that is that after learning about the subject of the complaint and the person who filed it a ruling party member may personally approach you to offer to resolve them through a commission system. It seems that these systems are being run only to expand the commission network.

As an experiment, as evidence, for the time being, delivery notes provided by Google Mail of emails sent to everyone from the President and Prime Minister of the country to the Governor, Chief Secretary, Government Secretary and Department Director of the State of Kerala on a particular subject of importance in the Human Rights and Senior Citizens’ Rights including the subject of the complaint are given hereunder. Not a single reply was received. The most they do is functioning like a post office- one person will send it to another, and that one to the person next! Then they will sit back and smile as if the task entrusted to them by the country has been completed. Even the President's office works like this. It seems that the Prime Minister's office does not work at all.

It has only now been realized what danger there is in sending a letter to the Prime Minister online on his website. Not only will your letter not be registered, but your mobile phone number will be seized and handed over to others interested and you will be called a hundred times from a specific number for other campaigns totally unrelated to the subject of your complaint. Even if you block that number, the call will come- isn't it a matter of state! It is not asked whether there is such a cheap Prime Minister, but whether there is such a cheap administration. The only one who responds promptly is the President's office, but that too is like the post office mentioned.

Each of these letters was also printed and sent by post. Otherwise, the arrogant would not be contented! They introduced electronic governance to save the government's postal expenses- the Indian government did not intend to save the people's postal expenses. The loot continues. You will not even get a single reply to any of these. It cost nearly a thousand rupees to send all these letters. It was money that was not there- money hardly earned, and hardly saved! It came to no use. It was wasted in the hands of the self-loving arrogant puny little egoists from the top to the bottom. Most of fell into the hands of the postal department of India, which is already wrecked and now being abandoned by the people due to the love of the central government for corporate courier companies. How many hundred thousands of people are being robbed every day this way in India! It is their country, their rule, their system of governance- what can people do?

Complaint subject (very simple, very old, can be resolved within a single week):

Sub: Denial of Senior Citizen’s Right to Live by Denying Due State Pensionary and Service Benefits- Kerala.

I may please be permitted to humbly submit as follows:

I may not have many more years to live, perhaps none. The only home I have to live in is in disrepair for long. I do not have money to repair it, and none to treat my present ailments. I am past 67 years of age.

I now receive a meager monthly reduced Pension Amount of Rs. 5508 after Commutation, plus DA. I ought to receive a monthly pension amount of at least Rs. 11000 in my estimate. I served for 33 years in government service in the Kerala State Health Services Department as a Lower Division Clerk from 30-07-1981 to 30-11-2013. One year of leave was set aside and was not counted for pension, which was since then regularized. When my pension was sanctioned, directions were standing from several higher authorities directing the department to sanction my four due Time-Bound Higher Grades, arrive at my due Last Pay, pay arrears, and send proposals to the AG Kerala for Revision of Pension and Gratuity from 01-12-2013. The former were in Service Benefits and the latter were in Pension Benefits. There were the Accountant General’s several other Audit Objections too which were neglected. Since then I have been sending applications, representations and complaints to whoever are authorized in the state to look into such grievances. The only result after these 12 years is that the mentioned leave and only two Higher Grades were sanctioned. Besides those, for a very long time- in fact years- no actions were taken to arrive at my Normal and Due Last Pay, pay arrears including those of the Terminal Surrender of Earned Leave, and send proposals for Revision of my Pension and Gratuity to the Accountant General. Even now, besides Service Benefits for 22 years, my Pension Benefits are also due and pending for 12 years.

The delay caused in the three offices of the Director of Health Services Kerala, The District Medical Officer of Health Trivandrum and the Superintendent of the Mental Health Centre Trivandrum from where I retired was not accidental but intentional. Besides, there was no supervision. Otherwise this delay would not have happened. I even prepared and submitted all the necessary draft bills, proceedings, letters and forms for them and they only needed verifying and preparing the fair, but still they did nothing for reasons unknown. The authorities I sent complaints to requesting to treat this as a Human Rights Violation and abuse of the Rights of Senior Citizens and to intervene include the offices of the Secretary to Government of the Health and Family Welfare Department and the Chief Secretary to the Government of Kerala besides the three mentioned offices with no intervention and results till date.

Appeal to you for your kind intervention.

Following this, a communication in the Gmail inbox, claiming to be from the Prime Minister's Office and had nothing to do with the complaint, was found placed in the Spam Box by Gmail. Google, which handles billions of such emails every day, judging from the content, should know exactly where they should end up!

What written here is completely honest and based on personal experience. There are millions of people in India who have had the same experience.

Isn't the relentless propaganda of BJP leaders that they will establish a Hindu Rashtra, a Hindu Nation in India the reason for the Muslim-led Bangladesh riots and the persecution of Hindus there? When it comes to the party that rules the country, doesn't it need some wisdom, some restraints on its policies and statements? Now, because of this, India's border guarding force- the Border Security Force- is facing a double obligation, a double duty. India has borders with not only Bangladesh but also Pakistan, and they have to guard them both, and that duty too is now under hazard and threat. The reflection of this has started to be seen as more terrorist attacks in Kashmir because security forces as well as intelligence-gathering forces cannot be deployed there in advance as and when needed. It can be assumed that this Bangladeshi rebellion, which is being supported by countries including Pakistan and perhaps Iran, must also be a factor in this, with these terrorist attacks as a purpose. Apart from that, there was nothing urgent and serious there that had not been there for a long time, except for the then ruling prime minister Sheikh Hasina's repressive rule and human rights violations. And neither was it as severe as in Pakistan or Iran. The responsibility for this violent and chaotic situation lies with the very narrow policies, decisions and declarations of the ruling BJP party in India, which lacks an international diplomatic philosophy and Muslim tolerance.

When Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited India in early 2024, she officially met the BJP Prime Minister Narendra Modi and unofficially met the Congress President-equaling Sonia Gandhi, spent time with them, and held discussions. After that, the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress did not mind what difference has come in Hasina's policies and programs after her return to Bangladesh, but the Muslim people of Bangladesh, especially the army and militants, as well as the religiously-based regimes of Pakistan and Iran, have noticed. It is also noteworthy that this riot broke out there shortly after her return from India. Britain and the United States proved that even if India and the major political parties in India snub India's role in this, the world does not, by unexpectedly denying asylum to this female Prime Minister who resigned and fled her country, and by making her a liability to India itself.

In this riot, it is not only Sheikh Hasina, a Muslim and a ruler, who fled the country- thousands of Hindus, who are also Bangladeshis, have fled the country and are waiting at the border to enter India. Among them are not only Hindus but also many Christians. Along with them, there may be Sikhs and Jains too. Although the BSF is providing them with food and water, it is not giving them the permission to cross the border and the shelter they need. They continue to remain at the border as victims of India's changed foreign policy, the BJP's dubious domestic policy and the recent refugee-citizenship program they have launched. The only reason the Bangladeshi rebels did not chase them down and kill them was because India's army was there opposite behind a barbed wire fence. These asylum-seeking refugees do not experience that what lies beyond the barbed wire fence is once their own country, a country with a history that has sheltered people from Plato to Christ.

Not so long ago, just seven decades ago, all of them were part of undivided India. They are not tourists from Bangladesh, but citizens of that country who have been there for so long. Where else should they flee to but India? How can they return to their homes as per India's demand when religious extremists and terrorists are committing murders there, throughout their country? If a similar situation were to happen to the leaders of the BJP individually, what would they do, how would they react to India? Let us not forget that many of the top leaders who were alive then and whose activities led to the formation of BJP came from Pakistan, seeking refuge after independence and the partition of the country.

If, as violence in this close-neighbouring country increases (and it will not stop increasing), the number of refugees increases and the Indian paramilitary border forces are unable to stop them, then India itself will have to use force against them. That will be an eternal humiliation for India - although BJP may not feel that way. In any case, there is no possibility of these people who were once part of India going to Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, the old Brahma Desam of the Indian Hindus, or Afghanistan, the old stronghold Apa Ghana Sdhaanam of their Bharata emperor!

In reality, isn’t this a trap set for the newly entrant in Indian political arena, the ruling Bharathiya Janatha Party (BJP) who, alighted on the wings of the Reliance Industries stirred up the Hindus and captured power without any prior experience in administration, taking over the Indian government saying ‘we will show you how we will recreate the old Indian Empire of Bharatha as a new Hindu Nation’- a trap set by the very same non-Hindu countries of today who were once subjugated and part of that ancient Bharatha Empire? Wasn't this all these countries that were once part of that old Indian empire joining in and work together, saying, ‘Show us how it’s created’. Of all the countries that were part of that old empire, only Sri Lanka, also known as Rathna Dweepam then, and Thailand, the old Siam which was known then as Syaama Raajyam in this empire complex, seem to be not involved in this movement. Or have they joined in too?

So far, the Border Security Force of India has been able to treat them, this influx of refugees coming from Bangladesh, with dignity. But can it continue to do so when their numbers increase? At one point, to stop the unbearable influx of refugees into India, in exactly the same circumstances as during the time of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi the Indian army went into Pakistan where the violence that caused the influx was taking place, defeated the Pakistani army through military action, cut that country into two and instead of annexing one to India, out of decency liberated one of them and created a new independent country called Bangladesh, won’t it have to be repeated? Or, even if it not cut off, wouldn't it become necessary to suppress both the Bangladeshi army and the rebels through military action, restore democratic rule, liberate Bangladesh once again, and bring about a peaceful resolution to the conflict?

In short, wouldn't this lead to a situation where the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party in Bangladesh is facing the same military-political situation that Israel is facing today in Palestine and Gaza due to Islamic terrorist organizations- if India's foreign policy, refugee laws and policies are a smokescreen?

The Prime Minister of a small country visits the Prime Minister of a neighboring, bordering, big country, and holds consultations. Suddenly, a riot breaks out in that small country, and the Prime Minister loses her position. She flees the country, and by overnight seeks refuge in that big country. Doesn't it feel a bit unbelievable and distrustful? Either the other opponents are aware of the weaknesses, shortcomings, and inconsistencies in the diplomatic power, foreign relations, and political power of the ruling party of that big country, or the ruling party of that big country, without a single majority in Parliament, is preparing to create a war situation for temporarily uniting its alliance’s constituent parties without breaking up and losing power!

When it is election time and they came to know that the pseudo-Marxist Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his party would lose the State Legislative Assembly Elections in April 2026, exactly repeating their utter shameful defeat in the 2025 December local body elections, Facebook-Kerala started getting sick and started deleting the opposition accounts. They are removing all these accounts saying that they violated their community guidelines, but they cannot even say which community guidelines they violated, because opposition activities are legal in the country of India and all these accounts were legitimate. How can they say any community guidelines were violated when none were? Or can they say they are taking money from the Kerala Marxist Party and the State Administration and fulfilling their political need at the time of the elections?

This is not the first time that Facebook-Kerala has caught this disease. They did this in the last elections in 2021 too which brought back the Marxist government to power even in the most adverse and infamous political conditions. This is Facebook-Kerala illegally interfering in the election process in Kerala. They are doing this for the heavy bribes some of them get from the Marxist government. They are arrogantly bypassing and challenging the freedom of expression and protection of fundamental rights allowed by the Constitution of India, for the Central Hindu-oriented BJP government’s bed-sharing concubine the Marxist government of Kerala, using their influence abroad. Even while they claim that they are the protectors of those rights in the entire world outside India, this is the situation in India as far as this social media is concerned, especially in Kerala, when it is an election time when this particular government would change.

The reason for this is not only the bribes paid by the Marxist government. Another reason is that this government has made a large part of the government transactions in Kerala through their, i.e., Facebook’s and Meta’s, WhatsApp. Those documents now made completely available, they (both of them) as usual are selling the entire data to those who need them. Even if the Marxist government and the party had not paid them any bribes, this is still profitable for Facebook-Kerala: it is a huge archive of government documents that is available to them to do anything at will. Does any government manual state that government documents- both those given to the public and those received from the public- will be stored, accessed and used not on paper but on WhatsApp or any other digital database? How many other states do this in India?

This is the biggest corruption committed by the Marxist government of Kerala joining with Facebook-Kerala that no one has brought out. When you read the great and incessant flow of bank account information, home addresses, PAN card information and the Aadhaar card information that citizens provide to this government through WhatsApp for various purposes, along with the increasing online frauds in Kerala, isn’t it clear how they are originating and from where? Shouldn't people understand that they, who while sitting in government do everything from gold smuggling through foreign embassies to gold looting even from the famous Sabarimala temple, will do this?

Many are preparing to file complaints with the Election Commission and the courts, considering this as an election crime which it is. Anyone who has been a victim of this can do so, including public figures.

Margie Vieira’s outstanding novel The Hidden Puzzle: I could not read beyond Chapter Three for emotions.

Knowing an author is a hindrance to understanding, let alone judge the writings of an author, as Matthew Arnold wrote in his Essays in Criticism. Knowing the author, he notes, is a fallacy into which a critic may fall while assessing the work but I don’t think it is a rule always true in its true sense. It certainly is not a hindrance to enjoying the work, provided familiarity with the author does not breed jealousy. This here is not criticism or review of my friend and author Margie Vieira’s work but a chronicle of thoughts and feelings emanating from enjoyment while reading. I do know the author Margie Vieira in person but only online: she is a dear friend. In spite of this fragile familiarity I enjoyed the work. Read that poem Lover by Rupert Brooke which is the only comparison with this work, depicting everything lovable and fine in nature.

Author Margie Vieira. With her kind permission.

The following are thoughts I had while reading the book.

Chapter 01:

California is known as a land of sunshine and good climate. It is believed something originating from there must be vibrant.

When I was a child, I had many questions in my mind about children; they all still remain a mystery to me, even in my grown up years. Why do babies hold their palms as fists? Did they bring something interesting from the land where they came from and are hiding it there inside those tiny fists? I even remember opening my niece’s palms to see what is in there out of my curiosity. Why are their faces, necks, legs, hands, stomachs, shoulders and feet all such radiant? Why do babies always smell fresh of Pears and Johnson soap and Yardley and Cuticura powder or even exotic without them? Why are they always soft to touch and warm to hold? Why is it, calm exists in a sleeping child as well as in a sitting cat? Why is it, it is not at all tiresome to sit looking at a child sleeping or not for hours? These were the thoughts which were formed in my mind through years which I never thought would visit me all together all of a sudden but they were the ones which rushed past me in one full swing when I read the beginning of a book by the Californian author Margie Vieira. It was ‘The Hidden Puzzle’ by her. I never thought thoughts about children could such ardently be brought out in text by someone for others to read. It was refreshing, nascent.

I remember someone saying once the last image he wants to take away with him when he is leaving the world is the face of a child looking at him through its innocent eyes. In later years I too began to understand this and think there is nothing better to see before you leave the world, your last glimpse of the world.

Chapter 02

How will I read a book if it overwhelms me constantly with emotions?

The problem with this book is it provokes a flow of thoughts and memories with every line, paragraph and chapter; the reading eventually becomes slow. It arouses memories of holding children, making them walk, bathing them and drying them, spoon-feeding them, walking holding them on shoulders to make them sleep, putting them to bed and watching them sleeping. Being an unmarried man with no wife and children, even I have such memories- I had a niece. But a woman who has had children will of course have a million times more memories to laugh about and weep on while reading this book. My wonted authors are Alistair McLean, Robert Ludlum, Robin Cook, Frederick Forsythe, John Grisham and the like whose books I can read continuously without a break, even while envisioning the action as colourful movies in my mind. But that is not possible with this book. We have to have time to laugh and weep and forget the book for a while for wallowing in one’s own memories which the book triggers. And a stream of thoughts too, arising while reading the book! Even these lines which I write here are such thoughts of mine which arose while I was reading the book. I never expected something like that to happen with a novel.

How will it be like, if the child lies sleeping in between mommy and daddy in their bed? How will it be, if she lies in a curving position, resting her tiny legs over her daddy’s chest and her little head resting over her mommy’s breast? She likes it, and so must we. Putting her in another bed, in another room, deprives her of many intimate and precious moments with mommy and daddy, especially the security and safety it offers her young mind, saving her from bad dreams and fighting unsavory situations in her mind, alone. Asians know this and they wisely allow their children to sleep with them in their beds, in their rooms, till they attain adolescence. But the Europeans, Americans and British put their babies in their cradles in their own nursery rooms from as early as their birth. Though this accounts for these children’s reserve, independence and self- reliance in later years, it also accounts for their backwardness in gregariousness, collectiveness and oneness with others in later years. I am not a person to tell if it is right or wrong but I certainly can see the respect, intimacy and care Asian children show to their parents in their old age. Compared to Asia, how many European families have old parents living with them under one roof?

To tell the truth, I was not powerful enough to read beyond Chapter 03 for emotions, some of them hitherto unknown to me. This write up of ruminations was intended to continue as I read Chapters to the last one but I could not.

2. Every profession has obstacles and hardships to endure. The writer's has the most, and his' must have too, for his creations are going to pass through centuries, influencing people everywhere. As Margie said, and writers everywhere feel, publishers and agents create difficulties for writers but writers have the unique opportunity to take it as a challenge and endure intense rigors till the opposition ceases, rewarded by the fact that the end product would be a universal master piece. It is not that publishers and agents exert pressure and create difficulties to take things to this end situation but the writer can make use of this opposition to refine the style of her writing and enrich the content through imagination and knowledge, creating finally a master piece. Margie Vieira can do this, gauging from her literary and linguistic proficiency. But from my experience with interacting with her in Linked-In Literature Groups, she is persistent if need be but a bit lazy, which does not fit most international writers. Certainly the prose has not ceased to matter and it never will be. The delights of prose shall, and can, never be replaced with anything else. And regarding monetary gains from books, I think writers like Margie Vieira never care for it.

1. Margie Vieira is an international writer of very good caliber and vision and she has very good imagination too. In fact, regarding poems from my contemporary age, I read only hers, for they are worth reading and enjoying. I have long observed that, had she revised and re-worked her poems till more metrical perfection becomes impossible, they would have become more appealing and satisfying to people like me who like metrical perfection in poems more than many others. I know such adherence to form is not appreciated by many people nowadays but I can imagine the wonder those poems like Margie’s would create with more adherence to form. In many public discussions Margie and I have had, I have amiably disagreed with her in this matter, but I still like to read and enjoy her poems for two reasons: for one, they are superb in poetic conceptions and they are simple. And two, I love recasting them into somewhat metrical perfection for my private singing, which I found to be very easy by repositioning a few words here and there, which I am sure she also could have done. As it was very easy for me to do, I wondered why she herself did not do this and landed on the assumption that she must be lazy. Capitalization is a key factor for me to enjoy a work of literature and I think it is important to many other conventional people like me too. When I say this, I am well aware of times changing, simplification going on in many unexpected fields and capitalization is altogether departing from most international literature. But it is still anathema to me. We do not expect anything such good from worthless poets of the modern day age whose works fill the book shop racks and after whom prominent publishers run, but we do expect such time-consuming, patient and rewarding labour from writers like Margie Vieira. I am Ms. Margie’s friend and that’s why I must be frank; only friends can say what others will hesitate to say. So long as her works satisfy people like me reading them from continents across oceans, and wish for more, I think her readers like us have the right to suggest what we wish, irrespective of what book publishers prefer.

Written in ….. after reading Margie Vieira’s book Through the Eyes of a Child and first published on 18 November 2025.

 

 

 

 

 

350. The Tibetan Road To Extinction

The Tibetan Road To Extinction

P. S. Remesh Chandran

Editor, Sahyadri Books & Bloom Books, Trivandrum

This book was proposed and started in 2016, not yet published. Excerpts from it are released here. Please visit this page again for more excerpts.

Chinese government repeats to the world that Tibetans look exactly like the Chinese and therefore China owns Tibet. It is the other way. China was first peopled by those who migrated from Nepal, Tibet and Burma, not from Europe as they like to believe which means that Tibetans are the father and owner of all Chinese.

Chinese government claims that they provide Tibetans with all physical needs such as food, shelter and clothing but they never claimed that they satisfied the spiritual needs of the Tibetan people such as leisure, comfort, calmness, religion and liberty. Tibetans emphasize spiritual needs which the Chinese can never understand- limited or constricted in their feelings.

During the past decades, America’s insistence on China’s withdrawal from Tibet has been becoming weaker and weaker, till President Obama totally stopped talking about the freedom of Tibet. Chinese investment, economic invasion and parliamentary lobbying have become such massive and permeating that American government does not now have a free hand in deciding whether China’s foreign invasion there is right or wrong. After this success, Chinese diplomats and industrialists are beginning to achieve the same neutral attitude from India, Burma and Philippines the same way. For the time being, Japan and Nepal are excluded from the purview of these economic and diplomatic sabotages which does not mean that China is not interested; it is only waiting for Japanese banking businesses to collapse and Nepal’s good relations with India to suffer set backs. Within a few years, industrialists in America, China, India, Philippines, Burma and Japan will begin to speak in the same language and tone which already has begun in India.

Tibetans have never been a farming community. It is not because they are lazy but because their land in high altitudes would not support agriculture. No food crops but only a few grasses will grow there. Growing season is short and water is scant. So Tibetans turned to cattle, with large herds continuously on the move through the countryside. During centuries the people of Tibet had been herding for a living. The land there is not suitable for farming. Had it been suitable they already would have been farming their land. The fact is most of their land is suitable only for herding. The Chinese occupiers ignored this basic fact and insisted that the people of Tibet become landlocked and turn to farming. This only resulted in the people starving, as they could not grow food in the tiny patches of land allotted to them. And they were not allowed to go back to herding. The starvation which resulted from this kind of land reform was the reason for the revolution in Amdo which eventually led to the exile of the Dalai Lama and his people from the occupied Tibet. Chinese Communist Party purposefully tied Tibetans to useless agriculture and landlocked labour, knowing that it would be their suicide. Brainwashed by the Chinese government’s propaganda, the world asks: why can’t the Tibetans cultivate their land and live like others?

The people in the occupied Tibet do not get any considerable education as claimed by their occupiers. China could create no great academicians, scientists or educationalists out of Tibet during the past 50 years. The Chinese Communist Party or its Polit Bureau does not contain any notable Tibetans in them which is a sure sign of the Chinese Government’s hatred and contempt for the Tibetans. What consideration the Chinese claim to have given to the Tibetans is purely for cheating the world and justifying the occupation of Tibet.

Dalai Lama is pictured by the Chinese as a slave driver who is responsible for the feudalism in Tibet. Tibet’s general backwardness cannot be attributed to him because he was only a child then. As he grew up, he has certainly made his contributions to reform Tibet’s political structure. It was him who established parliamentary democracy among Tibetan exiles. The Great Leap Forward or the Cultural Revolution in China did not do any good to the Tibetans or to the Chinese, for that matter. The Chinese like to describe what happened in 1959 as liberation for Tibetans but in reality it only opened the doors to more famine, oppression and religious hara-kiri in the Tibetan plateau.

Cultural uniqueness and traditions of the Tibetans are not safe under Chinese rule. The ages-old traditions and culture even in China are not safe under the communist rule. The next coming is the fulfillment of basic necessities such as food, shelter and clothing. The Tibetans were not living in the open, unclothed and in hunger, during all those years till the Chinese occupation. To provide them basic amenities in life, no Chinese presence or communist administration is needed. But China wants the resources of Tibet for replenishing the fast depleting resources of their country. And they want a buffer zone in between them and the surrounding countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. It is only that Tibet is convenient to have in possession to satisfy these Chinese needs. Tibetans also are traditionally reluctant towards accepting technology as a means of life for they are higher-inspired spiritually by the majestic forces of nature obeying which and in harmony with which they live peacefully. But China gives too much importance to technology which is only capitalistic achievements of science in disguise. They do not possess as spiritual enlightenment as the Tibetans to recognize the dangers caused to society’s ethical and economic integrity by too much dependence on technology. For centuries we have been hearing about Lhasa as the Forbidden City, a city forbidden to foreigners. It was their wish to remain secluded so that their special religious and spiritual atmosphere could be preserved and lived in. Even while depending on slave labour and serfdom, Tibetan society was living far more close to gods than the Satan. Now their tranquil social life is lost in exchange for nothing good except suppression, oppression, subjection, poverty and state slavery.

It is this basic truth the world wants to forget in exchange for huge deposits of Yuan from China and substitution of costly but durable consumer goods in their country with cheap and brittle Chinese goods. America, India and many other countries are now filling their markets with inferior Chinese goods. India even prepared herself to import Chinese cars, car tyres and motor cycles at cheap prices so that a four-wheeler and two-wheeler revolution could be brought about in India but the experience of other countries which filled their streets and homes with Chinese junk dissuaded India from making the contracts materialize. Still India signed many contracts for importing Chinese junk. To mass produce these junk and export it to newly-found-friendly nations like America and India they need cheap labour force and virgin lands with resources. Within a decade, the world countries will have to unite to crush imperialist China as they united to crush imperialist Japan, Germany and Italy in 1945. Occupation and suppression of the Tibetan people by the Chinese is only a fore-warning of what is yet to come.
