Sarita Nair with Oommen Chandy A long-term entertainment in Kerala |
Sarita Nair is a symbol of
the cancerous rot that has eaten into the Indian polity. She has been levelling allegation after
allegation against various political leaders, particularly of the ruling United
Democratic Front, in Kerala. The media
would lap up the allegation, hold prime time discussions, call Sarita “a bomb,”
and – nothing more. Sarita became an
entertainment for the watchers of Malayalam news channels. Why does nothing happen to all the people
against whom she levels serious charges?
Yesterday she went to the
extent of accusing
none other than the septuagenarian Chief Minister, Mr Oommen Chandy, whom
she had not so long ago described as “a father figure,” of having sexually
exploited her. According to various allegations
levelled as the opportunity suited her, she has slept with Mr Chandy’s son also
as well as almost every important Congressman in Kerala and the Congressman’s
cronies.
Sarita is not a very
credible person. Most people in Kerala seem
to think of her as an elevated prostitute, the kind of which has gained much
respectability today, thanks to our socio-politico-religio system. She shot into limelight when her attempts to
become a successful entrepreneur in Kerala were met with too many political and
bureaucratic obstacles. Perhaps, the
greatest obstacle was Sarita herself.
Whenever any VIP met her, he wanted to bed her. And clothes apparently fell off her body at
the very gaze of VIPs.
Finally, having shared her
body with almost anybody who counts as a somebody in Thiruvananthapuram and its
important vicinities, Sarita demanded her rewards and recompenses. Then they started pooh-poohing her. They called her all sorts of names and offered
her as a secret sleeping partner in the fantasies of the entire male populace
of the state. The TV channels were
delighted to get a savoury and remunerative item.
However, far from being an
innocent victim of a venal political system, Sarita is a shrewd woman who
deserved to be as successful an entrepreneur as Vijay Mallya at least. She has changed her statements umpteen times.
She has called Mr Oommen Chandy her father-figure. She kept Mr Chandy out of the list of her
oglers and bedders. Now, when the
elections are round the corner, she has come with a serious charge against the
same Mr Chandy. How credible are her
charges?
She has been spitting out
similar charges against various VIPs of the UDF time and again. Why has not even a single VIP taken her to
the court for defamation? How can she
get away with such serious charges made against such powerful people?
Mr Oommen Chandy keeps
saying that there are powerful lobbies supporting Sarita? So what?
How does that disprove her allegations?
Even if she is making the allegations for political or vindictive
reasons, don’t they deserve answers? Don’t
the people of Kerala deserve to know the truth?
Don’t the people deserve better leaders, leaders whom our sisters can
approach without the fear of being stripped naked on the spot? Leaders who will not cheat the people of
crores and crores of rupees meant for the public welfare?
Sarita is a symbol of the
common man today. Yes, I use the word ‘man’
intentionally. Like any ambitious person,
Sarita wanted to be a successful entrepreneur.
Probably, she would have been one, without offering her body to every
politician of the ruling party too. She
would have climbed the rungs of success if our politicians possessed
fundamental honesty. Forget honesty, if
they possessed the basic sense of their duties and the citizens' rights.
The bar scandals brought
up by Biju Ramesh earlier proved beyond doubt to the people of Kerala that
quite many of their leaders were brazenly corrupt. There is no doubt that the Congress party and
its allies in Kerala will be routed in the imminent assembly elections. But the question is: will a new government be
any better?
being ignorant of the facts it would not be prudent to make any comment, but if media had ignored her what have been her situation?
ReplyDeleteThe media can (and should) go beyond and ensure ways of bringing social justice. Most often the media ends up sensationalising things. No follow up.
DeleteIn politics,there are certain women who knew very well how to manipulate others with the stamp of womanhood.
ReplyDeleteThey are above average woman of India.
ReplyDeleteMurthy ji,
DeleteNobel prize winning novelist and an eminent philosopher of 20th century, Jean-Paul Sartre, wrote in one of his books (drama or novel, I forget) that with a slit between their legs women can win the whole world. Sarita tried to do that. But men have grown more cunning than women, I guess.
As I see it, don't trust anyone, especially those women who come with religious backing.
Didn't know abt this woman! There are all sorts of people in this world..
ReplyDeleteWhy blame the woman, Roohi? Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world. But could it exist without men?
DeleteMany valid questions and thoughts to ponder in this post...
ReplyDeleteSarita is a contemporary Helen of Troy bringing down an empire in Kerala.
DeleteSarita Nair is a dirty prostitute as she does not have even the minimum policies followed by the common prostitutes. It is some media of Kerala that gave her undue coverage and made her a celebrity (actress) now.
ReplyDeleteHow can she say now that she was raped by a person three years ago about whom she made public statements last year that he was like her father.
In the recent future we may even see her as an MLA of some political parties that are projecting her as a 'heroine'..!
I have no doubts about Sarita's characterlessness. But I think some of our politicians are no better than her. They used her for their benefits and dumped her just as they did to the Bar Owners Association. They accepted enormous bribes from the latter and then ditched them. What do we call such men?
