Chao-wera; A b******ized folk rhythm (kerewa) provides the rhythmic conveyer belt for a single unit of chaos. Nagara drums of Rajasthan- the descendants of camelmounted Mogul military drums. Shehenai blasts lunacy, an unquantifiable energy. Fanatics bellow through low-grade P.A. horns on street corners. Heaps of composting garbage are picked over by humans and other hungry animals. Two-stroke auto rickshaw smoke blankets the air, blending into the brown dust that fogs vision. Cicada of bus horns punctuate the yells of chai-wallah and vendors of every imaginable item. The religious clog the cities with praying, bathing, chanting, washing, or warring. Mobs burn trains or topple buses in spontaneous outbreaks against the machine. Cows block traffic. Fast food franchises are harassed and shut down.
What are we saying? That the most terrifying weapon on earth is not nuclear missiles or chemical devices. It is the insidious capitalist economic model. The American c**tural export aims to tame, to inject sterility into instinct, and to suppress ecstasy with economics.
