INTELLECTUAL TERRORISM

ARVIND K PANDEY

Interesting thought patterns have come to environ human beings .I would like to share what I feel in this regard. It’s no secret that Western countries have been obsessed with their so-called intellectual superiority myth, to an extent that nations, who did not adhere to this belief has to face their wrath either through war or arbitrary sanctions. Even as we call upon conscious individuals to gear themselves for war against such “intellectual terrorism” , it wouldn’t be bad idea to think why ordinary citizens seem to be cut off from such ideological wars fought in their name. Paradoxically speaking, communism or, for that matter, socialism failed to leave desired impact on people it’s because they never fulfilled the overall needs of the people as they expected.What has shattered the hopes of common people is that they are deprived of the benefit of the movement ,which is all these years was nurtured by them once the goal is accomplished. The benefits get restricted to dubious power zones that come into existence after every revolution. Again intellectuals, be they of any group, should not forget that ultimately everything boils down to the needs of common people’s long it gets fulfilled, even through wrong means, people don’t mind it. It’s bitter reality that globalization in their eyes is in some measures fulfilling their suppressed desires. However, an ideal society is based upon elevated principles. Globalization’s negative effects or the phenomenon itself can’t be tackled if intellectuals fail to take into confidence the underprivileged, whose only fate till now has been to get marginalized after every revolution .
