I’m dead serious with that title. If there is anything written in that document, know that it doesn’t exist. Not one clause, amendment, section makes any sense for what it’s worth. Here’s a little story, if you don’t believe me. I’m not sure about the specifics, but this is more or less how it plays out.
Hotel Cidade de Goa, owned by some jackasses with a lot of money and political influence, had an entire wing built on illegal grounds. Not only that, they had also blocked the only real access to a beach. This effectively made it a private beach so that business assholes could have their privacy while they carved this world a little more amongst themselves.
As usual, Claude (pappi!) has a problem with all things illegal, so in the name of the Goa Foundation he has been fighting the case for quite a while now. Again, I don’t know the specifics but I assume this has been going on for quite a few years now (as our judicial system is so slow). The case was won in the High Court of Goa (well, the Bombay Court-Goa bench), but the jackasses took the case up to the Supreme Court to get a better judgement. Finally, the Supreme Court of India, the highest authority, the final word, passed the judgement that that entire section be demolished, as well as the path to the beach be opened up.
But of course, to those rich assholes, the law doesn’t mean anything. Apparently they have the entire constitution, wrapped up into a roll and hung next to the toilet. There’s also a police constable appointed to sit right beside that toilet to clean up after they’re done. These assholes, actually got the Government of Goa, to pass a new law, that allows them to keep their building as it is. Rumour has it that they’ve also painted a smiley face on one of the walls to show the Supreme Court that they’re laughing at their judgement. This of course is an unconfirmed rumour.
This blatant usurping of power is proof that every year, on the 26th of January, instead of hoisting our national flag, we should instead tie our patron’s dirty laundry and salute it. I now realise, that on the 15th of August 1947, instead of we getting our independence (as we were lied to in school) there was a new ‘power’ that took over. Independence was nothing but a change of hands.
Now instead of just complaining about politicians and moving along, I hope you’re up to taking action. I urge you to at least send a letter (the actual touchy feely kind) to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, demanding an explanation. I hope you just don’t think of this as a bad story, but actually go out and send that letter. I’ve already sent mine. The address is below.
