LaVey. But , I have to agree , that is an extremists book , that
somehow makes a lot of sense. At least
some of it anyway.
Okay , having clarified stuff on the Norwegian Scene , let me
talk about India.
Man , when I read the history of India, only one feeling cropped
up to summarize the entire epic saga of
strugglethat is our history.
The Word is Lament.
We were the first true civilization to emerge out of the
darkness of barbarism .We were progressive ,
advanced and brilliant in our lifestyle than any other
civilization. Then , i t all went downhill..
All throughout our history , we ve been robbed , plundered ,
invaded , captured , annexed , divided ,
ruled over and pretty much RAGGED.
Almost all the countries picked on us. And what once was the
golden child of Earth , is now reduced to
low-paid call centre clerk at the BPO that is The Middle
East.
This debate has endless arguments but two conclusions are
undeniable from this trajectory of ourhistory.
1.Indians always liked to be secluded kingdoms , doing their own
thing , in their land. Never did they
think of expanding , organizing and collaborating. If anything ,
they ll jump in to fight over stuff.
Divided we already were , everyone else just exploited that
fact.
2.Indians were basically whimps at first. I mean , not until
theyre really truly oppressed will they let
their inner beast out.
Having recognized such loopholes in our history, I wonder
whether that was the reason why students
resent history as a subject , or maybe they just dontlike
it!
Nevertheless , all the history that India is made up of is
glorious in content and values. Its got the
brightest minds and the darkest practices. Its got everything
anyone is looking for. Its comprehensive
and vibrant. It is truly, amazing.
I draw these conclusions to support the following conclusions
about modern India.
1.Modern India has the most ridiculously conformist attitude
there ever can be. We are nave to the
extent that our tempers can be easily tickled and we d almost
agree or disagree to anything. We are not
very practical or straightforward. This simplistic and linear
thinking basically slows the rate of progress.
2.Modern India , especially the youthis heavily disassociated
with the past , the heritage or the
patriotic pride that this country deserves. Again , we are
conformists to such an extent that even in our
pathetic acts of rebellion , we are just doing the milder
versions of more bad-assrebellions that have
taken place.
Hence , Modern India can never have Anarchy. Ever! We re so
afraid of changethat it is almost
smothering.
Eg. Some wanabe-badass teen with a Megadeth t-shirt on (who
probably listens to BSB or LP) can grow
a little pony and color it blonde to be all cool. But you wont
see a total punk kid with a large Mohawk

and tattoos all over. Okay , im not saying , go .. copy other
people..copy west ,do a Mohawk, wear
piercings and be all western punk/emo/goth whatever.
On the contrary , stop copying west , compete with them!
Which brings me back to the title of the topic : Afraid to
Embrace.
We cannot embrace the darker aspect of anything in life. We
dontrecognize it and hence we mourn
over it for eternity. Having said that , most Indians live a
hell , far worse than any darkthemes explored
by any progressive nation around the world. We accept it to be a
bitter truth of life and move on. We
have been so suppressed by the expectations of our society that
our creativity is choked and we
basically live like drones. Its asad sad life. You are ridiculed
if you are different or take a stand , not to
be conformist.
On the AbsurdHistory blog , I made this comment :
Im wondering does Black Metal exclusively have to be
Anti-Christian? I mean , India is mostly Hindu ,and I wonder that
would a group of atheists form a band to make Black Metal.. but I
dont see that
happening since our generation is very disconnected with the
religious ideologies of Hinduism or
Christianity. I mean , there are so many myth beings to rip on ,
but the extent of imagination is so far-
fetched that any attempts at tarnishing it will be a mockery of
itself.Hmm.. cant imagine a band singing
about Rakshas (Demons) and Devas (Gods) stuff like that.
Nevertheless .. the darker elements in
Indian Subculture are more black than anything EuroBlack could
offer , just that.. no one wants to dig
deep. :p
When I was in school , I took a lot of interest in history , and
we had these chapters about Indus valley ,
and post vedic Hindu era , and the dark stuff I came across ..
was way worse than any satanic rituals. I
mean , Indian Dark arts do not dwell on magical incantations ,
they rather dwell on chemically abrasive
capabilities , and using actual sciences to bring the fragility
of human form in most grotesque manners.
Thatshow Black Metal should sound
We must first EMBRACE what is rightfully ours , before adopting
the ideologies of other cultures..
Think about it.. maybe someday , someone will implement it.
In Service to my motherland and the Metal in it..
