Is Cultural Politics Needed ?

Thanks to jeyamohan, I got to know What is politics ? What is Social Movements, Popular Movements ? What is Electoral Politics ? What is civic sense ? About distinguishing between Feudalistic, Democratic and Triabal (Pre Historic ?!)  periods ? And I learned Media Criticism also from or through Jeyamohan and not limited to him. Following personalities like ngaani Sankaran, K R Athiyamaan, Suresh Venkatadri, Suresh Kannan, Writer CSK  also helped me a lot.

----> surprisingly missed some other important persons also.  Aravindan Kannaiyan, P.A.Krishnan.

To balance My thoughts or having a critical mind I entertain some thoughts from Poovannan, Yuva Krishna, Aravindan Neelakandan, Jatayu, Bcak Nayar.

Dont know whether I can mention them for a political thought shape up. Araathu, Bogan Shankar also have a decent thought processes on social things.

And Othisaivu Ramasamy

And From Jeyamohan: What is objectivity ? What is Philosophy of Science ? When we realized what all are things we can proud of we will not go to false pride. This helps to identify the achievements of India, Tamil society.  Without knowing Philosophy behind sciences like Ayurveda , Modern Science I can easily fell into any of two bucket.  Either aggressive blind folded Agenda based Cultural Politics  or Fact based Modern Objective Rejection on Indigenous knowledge system. 

Using Dialectics to understand Society, Antonio Gramsci's definition of revolution, Antonio Gramsci's  explanation of Role of an Intellectual in Society are valuable lessons from jeyamohan

Last but not least Gandhi from jeyamohan.

When I came to know the cultural politics it helps me to choose what I need. After a while I am curious to know what Anna Hazare is doing back November 2017 hoping he would do something constructively. Learning more about civic right politics from Badri Seshadri and some more personalities, I am decided for sure that politics of BJP is unwanted.

When replying to a Tamil Nationalism enthusiast in a Puthu Thinnai Article , the political thoughts within me got into a shape.S

At this point I can say I left my doubts on cultural Politics. It is unwanted. European Democratic values are need of the hour. It all started when i start to feel BJP is failing in achieving Intellectual Building. The Promises of saffron politics except Intellectual building can be met with Civic Right Politics also. So if People are Active in participating in Democracy, No force can restrict patronization of culture . No force can restrict them from achieving good life standard.


Two ways we need to work for patronizing our culture

  1. spreading the knowledge, give labor work to clean or protect or any other volunteer work
    1. patronizing temple, classical, Folk Arts
    2.   religious classes of any infra to ensure religious education
    3. helping temple festivals and other traditional  celebrating features to flourish
    4. organizing volunteer's labor or work to make it happen
  2. Building Intellectual Base
    1. Without any intention or agenda real sociology, anthropology , historical, linguistic researcher need to be done
    2. in Academic Level , we need to fight against biases
    3. culturing alternate views
    4. spreading the updates to common folks
I expect this two aspects from Hindutva. 

A clarity I had now is for any reason we can not allow anybody to take the law into their own hands. It will result in chaos , disorder


Lot of conflicts come as in following:
  1. Social Justice Vs Corruption Crusading
  2. Social Justice Vs Performance
  3. Culture Vs Democracy
  4. secular Vs Culture


the above said people helped to choose which one in which situation. It is nuanced thing. Objectivity will help.
The Main thing we need to remember is "freedom comes with responsibility"
=====> எங்கும் சுதந்திரம் எதிலும் சுதந்திரம் . சுதந்திரமும் உண்மையும்

அதை அடைய

=====> participatory Democracy, More Active Participation, அதிகார பரவலாக்கம் or Decentralization of Power

அதற்கு நாம்

=====> கற்றுக்கொள்வோம், ஒன்றுபடுவோம், செயல்படுவோம்
