M C Jain FORUM An exercise in dogma Political Sociology, Economic Sociology & Sociology of Religion A book titled “The Burning Forest: India’s War In Bastar” has stirred a controversy in the academic circles in Delhi. The subject is stated to fall in the genre of “political sociology”. However, it can’t be studied in isolation and out of the context. Born in the west, political sociology has grown from Christianity, Marxism, Socialism, Atheism, Secularism and Modernism. The rich Indian legacy on political power is not covered in these studies. Can any study in political sociology be of any relevance to India without understanding the economic sociology as practiced in the organisation of caste and sociology of Varna structure and power guided by Dharma only? Picking up a short study of Bastar and superimposing some foreign ideas or conclusions on it is an exercise in dogma and cult to serve a specific purpose. Actually, we urgently need “A Social History of India” (in addition to the work of Sadasivan). So far, India was importing only political ideology; of late it has also started attracting “verbal FDI”. A combo of politicians, journalists & academics has overtaken all the intellectual space in the country. So, mediocrity easily passes off for great scholarship. But monopoly and control of the academic field in the name of progressive ideas is political academics only. If the progressive forces seek to prescribe one kind of books to students, the university must also prescribe all relevant books by Karl Marx, Max Weber and several other scholars. Students are entitled to learn the fundamentals of every subject without prejudiced mind in the most objective manner and dispassionately. Books meant to arouse passions or incite social tensions are scripts for stoking political upheavals so that resulting violence ending in heavy casualties can be harvested for many years. Hope the M/o HRD is alert so that facts don’t get distorted sullying the image of the country as Bastar is a predominantly tribal area. M L Gupta RTI “Attack on Freedom of Press” Recent CBI raids at the offices and residence of promoter/owner of an independent english TV news channel invited massive criticism of present political dispensation. Vehemently opposed to PM Modi these self-righteous media persons assembled at Delhi’s Press club, attributing raids to “ Political vendetta, Attack on Freedom of Press " etc . Utter nonsense. This is the conduct of captive media that boasts of independence. Paid media. Bunch of economic offenders. To get at the bottom of the truth, why not look at the meteoric rise in the net worth of certain journalists. ? Compare their IT returns for the FY 2003- 04 with those for FYs 2013-14 synchronizing with UPA era of no-holds-barred corruption. All aided and abetted by the Congress-led UPA. Their mandate was to file stories that promoted the financial and political interests of the then ruling dispensation. This included brokering for cabinet berths in collusion with corporate lobbyist. Radia gate is not forgotten. It is a part of Indian history of modern journalism, full of intrigues and machinations.
