The 'Holy' Men

I ran a simple search on 'google'..."Saffron stands for...." and the results; both surprised as well as astounded me....Why..? I'll mention later...But for now...take a look.....

(Each of these have been copied and pasted..Verbatim)

1. Well saffron stands for integrity
2. Saffron - all people in our country is treated as same
3. Bhagwa or the saffron colour denotes renunciation or disinterestedness
4. A widely held unofficial interpretation is that the saffron stands for purity and spirituality
5. Saffron Stripe : Patriotism, Courage, sacrifice and the spirit of renunciation
6. The saffron color signifies the struggle and sacrifice of the people to achieve freedom.
7. saffron colour has always been identified with royalty

And you'd think it had something to do with violence...religious fanaticism or even forceful abjurations....?? So it's when you see the "saffron brigade" going around doing their 'thing'...of terrorizing lesser powerful mortals....to stand their moral grounds. Trying to forcefully desecrate works of art simply 'coz it doesn’t adhere to their moral standards........Preventing people from posting their views on social networking sites.....Going on to break shops and properties on "Annual Lover's Day" You sort of set out to compare the integral meaning of the connotations the colour could take.

Granted.....that a person cannot be affectionate 'coz he's named MOHIT or one may not become the 'ruler of Gods' simply by being named "Suresh". But at least co-relation of names and the bigger issue of portraying oneself to be something and being completely different....is another.

It's even considered a matter of pride in party circles to see their pictures making front page of dailies the next day......Pride..?? Hello....It's a negative story and not one ranting your accomplishments...!! (will someone tell that that..?)

Go ahead....do what you want....but why depend on symbolisms to make a point.....?? Kindly portray them as your own..!!
