This is not to force-identify with the 44 CRPF soldiers who died when a Kashmiri teen associated with the Jaish-e-Mohammed rammed an explosives-laden SUV into their convoy. Or to somehow conflate the momentary grief we\u2019re feeling with the permanent bereavement of the families who will have to live on with their loss. Yet, even though it is not our bodies that the wounds have been inflicted upon, India will have to live with the scars of this tragedy. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do we react to Pulwama? Some of us are facing a paucity of imagination, but many of us \u2013 disappointingly \u2013 have followed an expected script, the way it has been with other disasters. We\u2019ve responded with the kind of extreme bigotry we reserve for anything <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/politics\/pakistan-elections-coke-studio\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pakistan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We\u2019ve responded with hatred, but not just toward the terror organisations that carried out the attack \u2013 we\u2019ve responded with hatred toward our own people. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a parallel universe that many of us occupy \u2013 in a world where Jawaharlal Nehru is only a \u201cMuslim womaniser\u201d \u2013 a man named Grandmaster Shifuji has currency. Yup, the same Shifuji who led people to believe that he is a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyo.in\/variety\/grandmaster-shifuji-soldier-fraud\/story\/1\/15712.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">former Army officer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and is the recipient of the international award \u201cLiving Legend \u2013 True Patriot\u201d. Shifuji, literally frothing at the mouth, released a video soon after the Pulwama attack titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HaramKhor Gaddaron Ko Public Me Goli Maro Saalo Ko<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s overflowing with the \u201cma-behen\u201d gaalis variety of hyper-masculinity, and has the immortal line, \u201cWatan se bada koi Valentine nahi hai bey!\u201d I\u2019d probably be able to laugh about it had the video not had 4.9 million views. <\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>A world where Amol Palekar feels like anomaly, and the Arnab Goswamis and the Paresh Rawals and Anupam Khers of the world, do not.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s very little that is coherent in the video \u2013 Shifuji\u2019s rage spins out toward politicians, Pakistan, and our \u201cnamard\u201d solutions to the terror problem \u2013 and yet, it is absolutely unambiguous about where the blame lies. \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ye bhooke nange log <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">jo economic aid maangte hain, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bhooke nange logon <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ke pass 400 kilo explosive aaya kahan se?\u201d Shifuji asks. The informers must be shot dead in public, he advises. In all of this, Shifuji skims the line of libel and hate speech just enough by cleverly refraining from identifying the people of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/politics\/tamanas-kashmir-violence-burhan-wani-hizbul-mujahideen\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kashmir<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, citizens of India, as the culprits \u2013 but it is enough of a dog whistle. He is clearly inflaming sentiments against Kashmiris who\u2019re probably dreading retaliatory attacks. And it has already done its bit to contribute to the madness. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within less than a day of the attack, #TerrorismHasAReligion began to trend on Twitter, when people started a placard campaign with that hashtag. In Sewri, Mumbai, more than 2,000 kilometers away from Pulwama, in a Muslim settlement obviously referred to as \u201cChhota Pakistan\u201d a mob gathered to chant \u201cBharat Mata Ki Jai\u201d. At the super busy <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/scroll.in\/latest\/913506\/pulwama-attack-police-baton-charge-protestors-who-blocked-rail-tracks-at-nalasopara-in-maharashtra\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nalasopara station<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a group of protestors blocked railway tracks early in the morning, disrupting train services along the arterial Western Railway until noon. Indians protesting the deaths of fellow Indians at the hands of one Indian&#8230; by making life hell for other Indians.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But we don\u2019t shut down people like Shifuji, for freedom of expression. We don\u2019t shut down the folks propagating #TerrorismHasAReligion. We don\u2019t shut down journalists who purportedly declared <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/politics\/aligarh-muslim-university-banaras-hindu-university-terrorists-students-sedition\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aligarh Muslim University<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a \u201cuniversity of terrorists\u201d. The only freedom of expression that is problematic in this country, is the one targeting our government, even peripherally, even in passing. So we shut down people like Amol Palekar. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earlier this week, the veteran actor and director was delivering a speech at the respected National Gallery of Modern Art, at the opening of a retrospective exhibition of artist Prabhakar Barwe\u2019s body of work. In the course of the speech, when <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/government-amol-palekar-muting-artistic-freedom-india\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palekar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> started to talk about the shrinking spaces for expression, he was repeatedly interrupted by the curator of the exhibition and asked to stick to the subject (even though he hadn\u2019t been given prior direction on what he was expected to talk about). A flummoxed Palekar maintained his calm, and eventually only asked, with his characteristic softness, \u201cDo you not want me to talk?\u201d <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is difficult to believe that the folks interrupting him were not anticipating a fracas. At another award function a couple of months ago, Palekar had spoken out against this narrative of \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/urban-naxal-uapa-arrests-bhima-koregaon\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urban Naxals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d that was being perpetrated; he had called upon his audience to respect grey areas. The interrupters must have feared that Palekar was going to say those feared words again. Because as we know that espousing liberal values these days is well-nigh criminal, something you speak of only behind closed doors and in confidence, like confessing to a particularly depraved sexual peccadillo. All Palekar was doing was politely disagreeing. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full disclosure here: I am a Palekar fan. I\u2019ve lost count of the number of times I turn to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golmaal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to alter a sad day or watch parts of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gharaonda<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, to indulge the sadness. Away from the blustery \u201970s of Salim-Javed\u2019s florid imagination, Palekar represented humility. Palekar was the guy you met on a local train, hanging by the handle-bar, who\u2019d look away shyly if you looked up at him. He stood for timid characters, men who spoke at a low pitch, men without the swagger of wealth or good looks, completely helpless in the face of their beloved\u2019s presence. He was the antithesis of the loud, angry, OTT characters played by Amitabh Bachchan. Even when he played insolent \u2013 as Laxman Prasad in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/golmaal-again-movie-review-rohit-shetty-ajay-devgn-tusshar-kapoor-kunal-khemu-tabu-parineeti-chopra\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golmaal<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for instance, addressing the owner of the house as \u201cwatchman\u201d \u2013 he did it without losing the genteelness that was still on display at the NGMA. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But maybe genteelness is a trait of the past and I am just a nostalgist. We live in hyper-masculine \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/uri-film-review-vicky-kaushal-indian-army-modi-election\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How\u2019s the Josh?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d times, where public discourse has coarsened to such a degree that polite disagreement feels like a threat to public order, but calls to violence do not. A world that legitimises the unhinged rants of Shifuji. A world where Amol Palekar feels like anomaly, and the Arnab Goswamis and the Paresh Rawals and Anupam Khers of the world, do not.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the backdrop of the Pulwama attack, whose freedom of expression should we be concerned about?
