The predicament of being too blunt and presumptuous at some point, can prove to be a toppled over incident. The same thing happened in the not so long ago held Jaipur literature festival that was more in news and limelight because of its controversial multifarious discussions. The most prominent being of course of salman Rushdie's and than, other three budding writers joined the queue with him too. The whole notion of discarding salman Rushdie's entry in the festival rose from the excerpts of his book "The satanic verses" in which he purportedly vilified the Muslim community and denigrated their rites to some extent. The slander of Muslims was apparently taken very seriously and it made the things quite convoluted and enigmatic for salman Rushdie and ordinary people too. The specific excerpts from his book were rather insinuated to be libeling the Muslim communion on their traditions and rituals. But, there's never been a bonafide explanation for a hate speech. An offensive speech is nonetheless is reckoned to be the one that censures one's sentiments and abases a particular community advertently. Notwithstanding the fact that salman Rushdie did feel apologetic for his deed and humbly regretted the despair and scorn that he fostered in people or a group specifically, still he was not felicitated in the Jaipur literature festival. At one moment, there would be some news of his attending the festival and then the very next moment, there would be trepid and insipid headlines of his absence. Audience even thought in the beginning, that there would be some chimerical appearances of Rushdie's sporadically.
The Government itself tried so hard to cease his entry in the festival by using circuitous itineraries and several conspiracies against him. There were also many headlines quoting that salman Rushdie's life may be in great turbulence if he attends the festival. So, the crux of all that pied drama was to stop Rushdie from getting in. Many lucubrated and think that it was an ostentatious pogrom to obfuscate Rushdie and his followers too. Then there many others oft who wanted to mooch many things out of the spot light. Being filiopietistic is always welcome but being pompously reserved and defensive about one's traditions is just a lofty thing to digest. The dilettantes in the festival were not vituperating about a particular communion but they were just sharing their perspectives about the whole somber incidence. It was indeed not a strategized manner to calumanise any society. But then, since they are caught along the name "Rushdie", they are culprits without having committed any crime. If their effort was to appease the pain in many hearts, then it just seemed like an agony itself to the politicians.
The term hate speech has become an umbrella term. Being used by anyone and everyone, the apt articulation has lost its essence in abyss. If one doesn't want to hear anything in particular, then it's a hate speech by the other person which is reckoned a calumny. Officious advises and inferences are even taken as denigrating speeches. Thanks to the minute hearts of people embanked by corrupt practices of taking all the time and not giving at all.
it's the right time when the Government ought to articulate "whether a speech deserves to be hated or not...??"
The interrogation is going to be perennial....."did i offend you??".....
