Many of us are beginning to feel like unpeople. Of course there’s a caste system that has always existed in the murky hinterland of ‘democracy’ in America! Since I hail from the Subcontinent, I can see it with wise eyes.

Human life, I’ve concluded, is beginning to matter less and less, if it was valued at all. We haven’t travelled far from tribalism, shamanism, savagery and subjugation of unpeople.

It’s unnerving at best to be a part of the mighty consumerism machine of america, now run by a handful of barons and oligarchs and cartels, and to suddenly realize that while we weren’t looking, the dream that was supposed to level out the playing field for all had soured and curdled like milk left out in the sun for too long.
