Nemesis is a strange phenomenon. It is a silent companion for the mighty and the
wicked, as they carry on their criminal capers for decades and some. Then, suddenly,
it strikes. Like the bolt from the blue, or the wrath of the Gods or whatever you prefer
to treat it as. Let me be very clear this retribution does not always materialise for
millions of wrongdoers and low-lives. As a Hindu atheist, I would be going against
my fundamental belief-system if I were to expound some gibberish doctrine about
just desserts for the bad boys and girls, whether in their lifetimes or in the hereafter.

Lessons for Modi
November 25, 2013
How Narendra Modi has
The Greeks, the original torch-bearers of western civilization, infinitely more than
the Romans, got some of their basic ideas at some stage from Indians. The ravaging
hordes under the Macedonian warlord, Alexander, took back many lessons they had
learnt from the vanquished fellow-citizens of the good king Puru. And I would like to
think that divine retribution is one of them.

In Greek thought, nemesis is closely linked to the notion of hubris. This is, of course,
the sin of overweening pride or arrogance. Those guilty of hubris also display an
insufferable confidence in their own achievements, competence or potential. If these
attributes fit in with your experience and notion of the Indian medias glitterati, you
are spot on. Indeed, these qualities apply to the entire range of venal crooks and
criminals that can broadly be labeled as the desi elite or establishment.
As Greek tragedies evolved over time, the goddess Nemesis became a central figure
who avenges crime and punishes hubris. She dealt out fortune to each person
according to what he or she deserved. If this right proportion is disturbed, the sense
of justice of Nemesis would not allow it to go unpunished.
The sudden and unexpected fall from grace of Tarun Tejpal in the last few days
must be looked at in the above context. He had it coming, as our American friends
would say. The fact that it has happened (though the fellow can still get away clean
from the mess, given the functioning of the Indian judicial system) will please all
those who subscribe to the nemesis principle.

Currently, the countrys Fourth Estate is a stomping ground and refuge of individuals
with the worst type of human characteristics. The ultimate litmus test of success
in this cesspool is chutzpah, bravado, ability to dispense human fertiliser
in copious quantity and the gift of the gab. Leading the pack is the brand of
denizens I have always referred to as the sarkari secularists (SS). The initials fit this
bunch perfectly; these people, like the original Herrenvolk lot, have firm notions
about their ingrained superiority, swagger around the major metros, specially the
national capital, where their habitat comprises the principal TV studios, Raisina Hill,
the Lutyens zone and the IIC.
Their intellectual level is frozen at the Senior Cambridge/Class 11-12 level, and the
elder ones are all from the Billy Bunter/Battler Britain/Wodehouse and Enid Blyton
school. Their contempt for this countrys ancient culture and civilization knows no
limits; the ones who are not the kitchen-English types are the MughalPersianArab
admirers, whom I have always labeled as the Ghazal-Shazal wallahs.

In the present vaudeville show, we must start our exercise by looking at the two

Sancho Panza, a lah-di-dah prima donna, Shoma Chaudhury, who has now
ascended the gaddi at the Tehelka racket they were running.

Very good article....I do want to add a
comment regarding Savarkar. I am from
Baba Tarun is the archetypal post-Partition Delhi Punjabi. These people have a
veneer of western education, having often studied at convent schools and/or the
so-called public schools. Many of them have also been to that great promised land of
the kaala Angrez, the St. Stephens College in Delhi. The vast majority of them end
up in the never-never land between a tawdry Anglo-Indian persona and an Indian
one that they always try to hide. It is the exact desi version of the Black Skins, White
Masks phenomenon that the great black French sociologist Frantz Fanon described.
Between the summer of 2000 when Tejpal left Outlook to start Tehelka and now,
Tejpals net worth increased on a logarithmic scale. His ascent on the social ladder
was equally meteoric. From being the number two to Vinod Mehta, he became his
own boss and, the rest, as they say his history. Even when working in Outlook, he
was running his own publishing outfit, India Ink, and achieved the coup of
publishing Arundhati Roys first book, The God of Small Things. Was he
moonlighting? One will never know the arrangement he had with his employers (the
Raheja group) and his editor Vinod Mehta, but clearly they had soured by 2000.
There were reports that the parting was hardly amicable.

Even when Tejpal and his new outfit was making waves with their so-called sting
operations, some capital watchers were curious about Tejpals choice of targets.
Admittedly, the NDA regime of Vajpayee, son-in-law Ranjan Bhattacharya, and LK
Advani was also a fairly colourable institution. However, Tejpal never trained his
guns on the Congress and its bags of sleaze. With his Bongo 2IC, Shoma
Chaudhury, who also left Outlook to join him, these two were quite hesitant and
reluctant to do any major exposs of UPAs never-ending loot from 2004 onwards,
and specifically from 2009. Their preferred targets were the Hindu movement, any
attempt at promoting Indic culture and any form of nationalism that did not
compromise with their grotesque SS world.
In recent years, there were many rumours about Tejpals venture being funded by a
Trinamool MP who has been dubbed as the countrys Chicken King. The start of the
Think festival, sponsored by this business group, was the beginning of Tejpals
personal decline and that of his magazine. Delhis corridors were rife with stories
about Tejpal and his cronies trying to gouge corporates for funds. One of his former
long-time colleagues has written openly about Tehelka killing one of the biggest
scoops it had, because Tejpal wanted to monetise it.
Now, let us look at the way this duo has performed during this sordid saga.

Tejpal and his recusal from office for 6 months, if you please: the phrase, itself,
reeks of grandstanding. Does the fellow think he is a Supreme Court judge
who finds a conflict of interest in a particular case before him and
decides to withdraw from hearing it, in case his probity is questioned ?
This is what any unbiased observer will think. The mans arrogance and conceit are
so evident in his posturing.
His defence line that is slowly emerging : that of consensual sex. This is one of the
oldest tricks in the trade and has been used by the most despicable criminals
throughout history. Even Eichmann claimed that the Jews voluntarily marched to the
gas chambers. Proof: he had a string of violinists lined up to play merry waltzes as
the inmates went on their death march. Tejpal has now lined up one of the
countrys top-notch law firms to come out with this obscene tripe.
If Tejpal is grotesque, wait to see how his second-in-command performed in the last
three days.
Apology for her stand taken on TV: her tonality was wrong. Does the woman think
she is being judged in a voice test for a musical recording ?
Calling Tejpals alleged offence a transgression: all that convent education coming
out, as I had warned you. Did she look up the Thesaurus for all the mildest versions
of sexual assault and rape that she could think of ?
And then the crme de la crme : the victim of the alleged assault was looking for
justice outside the penal system. Does this harridan believe in the flat-earth theory
? Or is she peddling snake juice to the Indian public ?
And then the limit in self-aggrandisement : If the case against Tejpal is proved in
court, I will accept that his offence is one of rape. A combination of Marie Antoinette
and Empress Victoria, eh?
To wrap it up now, Ms. Chaudhury, the Supreme Court has made the legal position
for you abundantly clear. Since you were in a position of authority, when your young
colleague informed you about the sexual offence perpetrated on her, it was
mandatory and obligatory on your part to inform the appropriate police authority
about the crime. Period. No if and buts here for you to use your editorial prerogative.
Personally, I am in good company if I say there are strong grounds for you, too, to be
prosecuted under the law for your disgraceful conduct.

very well said.

Exquisitely said, Jay babu. You really have a way with words.
It is very tempting to believe in the hubris and nemesis
theory, when do you think Karunanidhi and his murderous
family will get theirs?

A picture is worth a thousand words. A prose image is worth a

thousand pictures. Jay Bhattacharjee has done precisely that
drawn up in prose the image of an individual, a clan,
consumed by hubris and confronted by nemesis. His
thousand pictures indict a community which has aided and
abetted a kleptocracy in not so much running a country for a
good part of 60 years as running it down for personal
aggrandisement. As the nefarious narrative of all those
honourable men and women begins to unravel we shall need
many more prose pictures of the genre of the current article to
fully bring home the full story of how a hoary civilisation of
5000 years looks schizophrenically at its future not fully
comprehending the nature of the domestic pestilence with
which it is infected.

Jay Bhattacharjee I salute you on your superb article.Your

graphic introduction leading up to the unmasking of Tarun
Tejpal,his erstwhile lady associate et al is very apt.
Let us hope that these unmasked secularist stormtroopers
begin the Danse Macabre and lead themselves to their
nemesis!!!!!!

Excellent article with superb analysis.

Extremely well put. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, Nemesis catches up.someday. And that some day
seems to be nearing for everyone2014?
I particularly liked the one about peddling snake juice.

Brilliant piece.

brilliant language and references to

beat the sh*t out of lutyens coterie
Anil Trivedi
A article reflecting the divide between so called elites and the

common man seeking justice. Just because he is near to
Lutyens, the victim will be seen with political glasses.
A very true article reflecting Delhis, oh sorryMedias
helplessness to stand with the victim.
