COOCKED TRUTH

          COOKED TRUTH

Telling a lie has different orientations. Telling a lie just for the sake of lie is its one  orientation. Second is telling a lie to supress the truth. And the third one is telling a lie for obscuring the truth. But the most dangerous orientation is telling a lie in order to distort the truth. It is a new truth which does not happen but which such a truth is cooked. A COOKED TRUTH.  

                  First three categories replace a truth with a lie but in the fourth category truth exists but attempts are made to change the truth - truth which exists  is replaced by a cooked truth which is made of  teller's own recipes. People are informed but they are informed about a truth which does not exist as it is said. First three categories are stabbing from back on a system of belief but the fourth one is stabbing from the front. You see a table , for example but you are made to believe that it is a  chair or anything else but not a table. You are not uninformed but you are  misinformed. You see killing of people for pure communal or ethnic reasons . But you are informed about something else. In reality communal and ethnic reasons are changed while telling about the incidents of killing. Then you have your own logics to justify it. The concept of justice is changed with a cooked truth which is a lie in its reality. The first causality is your vision, your understanding, your perception. The reality around you is something and you see something else in its place. You see your surroundings but see with changed and distorted vision and not with impaired vision. You still see but you have been made to believe something different about what you are seeing. You are seeing people are being killed and plundered in ethnic violence in Manipur but you are not to accept it as a truth and argue something else about this just to distract attention from ills of  ethnic politics. And so you may rationalize it by taking resort to news about  violence in other states. For you Manipur ethnic cleansing drive is justified because some killings in other states also happen. You believe in the distorted truth. Of course killing in Manipur and Bengal are actual but distortion happens with your arguments of putting both in the same box of events. Similarly you felt happiness when J&K was disrobed of its Special Status although you argued something special for your own state. But for what? A distorted narrative was manufactured for bringing demographic changes in  J&K . You never understood the way that was adopted was undemocratic. For you Governor becomes   synonymus  of the legislature. You even believed in the truthfulness of claims that no death was  due to lack of oxygen during COVID.  You believed in the distorted narrative that no one died of lack of oxygen  even though you know well what was the truth. And there are so many other examples . You started living in a world where you believed that your near and dear person did not die of lack of oxygen supply in time as the hospital reported or as you saw yourself but that person died just because of being infected by Corona virus. Such is the impact of a cooked truth. Your near and dear died. It is a truth. You accept this. But what you don't believe is the scientific explanation. You believe in a "cooked truth" 

       This cooked truth is prepared in the kitchens of hatemongers who are a coherent group. And consumers are the same in all cases of adoption and consumption of such types of cooked truth. People who consumed mob lynching are the same who cheered for destruction of special status and statehood of J&K . The same people remained silent on Delhi riots and Manipur ethnic cleansing. Everywhere there is  this hate generated cooked truth the perpetrators and consumers are the same. Faces and names are different but identity of all these  is the same and uniform. These consumers are ready to cook truth and also ready to consume cooked truth. And  those who are burnt to cook , those who are sacrificed for cooking this truth are also the same.

    This belief in cooked truth hijacks your real self, superimposes a fake identity on you and so you start clapping when people are dying, people are suffering and ultimately cheering when democracy is bleeding.
