the ascetic
at peace
looking deceptively innocent and apolitical
seemingly an ardent Nature worshiper
with no violent disposition apparent
nor greed …
far from the material crowd
so it seems
what we see is not always what is …
what we don’t see is not always absent
the stark reality:
actually is a brilliant exercise in PR
unchecked avarice for power
creating constant state of turmoil in the country:
plays all dirty tricks of the politician to hold on to power
perpetuating the fearful state of chaos
politician to the core
enemy of environment and nature
violence is used to enhance power
loves to wear a $16,000 suits
covets the materialistic Adanis, Tatas, Ambanis
..
perception versus reality …
