Demolishing Celebrity Worship Cult

                 
The advancements in field of technology have been appropriated by a section, whose sole existence is based on exploitation of every living and non-living things, yet to be born life forms and still to be conceived inventions / discoveries - through continuous display of delusions for a better world ,a hallucinating and euphoric mirage to be chased by :all around - till we fall dead.Analyzing man's journey through the annals of history ,we find - when the true ,sincere ,laborious ,imaginative ,innovative and creative section was busy finding ways to face the every day challenges of living in inhospitable conditions which planet earth offered us ; this shrewd ,cunning,scheming ,lazy and wicked was designing ideas for robbing the society of all its achievements.
In a gradual but routine manner,concept after concepts were thrown before the society to lure it into a complex web :be it justice ,be it equality ,be it equity,be it freedom - every conceivable aspect was put on stake.By their grand design of deceit they succeeded in making us bite the bait and we were given into a system of governance,DEMOCRACY.High sounding description of this system went over-board ,of the people by the people and for the people ,what an impressive, attractive and seductive system on offer.But,the most prominent feature was neatly swept under that silken carpet :the system was for the rich to rob masses of their hard labor by deploying it for producing goods and services for the rich ,the poor could participate by casting their votes to choose from the pack of wolves - which one will eat their flesh and who among them will squeeze out blood from their life ,the down - trodden never got that free and fair opportunity to become his own master,the creator has been enslaved.
The game doesn't ends with enslavement ,rather it begins from here - what if this captive means of production realizes of this trap and begins to unite to fight for emancipation.Thus they built the divide :racial,communal ,regional and caste-tist and for this they needed super-humans ,not the real ones but those pseudo beings,quite brittle to handle any pressure but too galvanized and polished to draw innocent people towards them ,these celebrities act as spokes-person for the system.Such a dead soul could come from any sphere of life - movies ,sports ,literature.fine or performing arts ,education ,judiciary ,armed forces,science even social activity.One from the lot is made to sit on the tigers back to serve the cause of rich masters ,who would rarely like to get on that coveted seat .
To break the shackles of slavery ,it is thus very important to destroy this personality cult worship - around which ,this whole exploitative system revolves.Easier said than done ,it needs people who pledge to forgo pleasures - the system offers to divert any conscious opposition to their grandly built profit machine ;these volunteers will get into organizing people and at the same time exposing the game-plan of ruling classes.The power of people is supreme only if its not a flock of sheep instead a politically aware citizenry having an urge to know and to question.Once the initial work at the ground level is through then that secondary phase will begin which be prolonged,tiresome and frustrating since during this period expansion and consolidation will go hand in hand ; the final assault - has to be decisive keeping in mind a successful uprising is a revolution but a failed one is treason and revolt with serious consequences.This revolution against destroying cult of idolizing individuals will be undertaken by people ,those who have realized but, it will essentially through ballot ,gone are the days of bullet.This change is quite like conception ,once it sets in - deliverance is guaranteed ,timings will be guided through circumstances of that specific region.Finally man will get his due share ,not a hope but a belief .
