Shah Faesal- good guy or bad guy?

245

Comments

  • 1. Rapistan - derogatory comment
    2. Rape patriarchy - true
    3. Venting on social media - frustration or political mileage.
    4. South Asia - false, just to save a**
    5. Can we judge him ? NO
    6. Is he a bigot? Not necessarily, probably not at all
    7. Keyboard Warrior? Yes.
    8. Course of action? Stern warning.
    9. Good DM etc? You don't have data to judge
    10. Dont judge by 1 comment, its unusually vapid.
    11. Freedom of speech? Aye, true, but rights vs duties, so maybe just hold thy tongue?
    12. Are there rape problems in India? YES.
    13. Should we say he is anti nashnul?NO.

    Nationalism is a concept, that cannot be imposed on anybody. For every reaction there's an opposite and equal reaction. There are cons to imposed nationalism, and quite a lot of them. Somehow, this overdose of nationalism is a problem. There are 50000 shades of grey in all of us, most of us aren't brave enough to accept it.

    He felt it, he said. Next time, he shouldn't repeat. Do I agree with the first part? Yes. Do I agree with Rapistan? no. Are rapes a problem in india? Yes. Could he have done better? Yes.
  • bad guy*(.)


    *for arguments and rants, refer to prelims result thread :trollface:
  • Bad guy vs good guy is like black n white? Are you a good guy or bad guy? Probably even you don't know.

    Sometimes we do tend to do things irrational and illogical. Sometimes we are governed by petty greed. Sometimes we just don't take the liability of fault on ourselves. Which we should have. Can we do better in making india at least child rape free? Yes. Yes. Yes.

    Judge not, and you will not be judged,
    Condemn not, and you will not be condemned,
    Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
  • @krr
    @heisenberg2017 bhai tumhi jaison ki bigotry par bol raha tha.
  • I think shah faesal is classic case of cognitive dissonance.
    While his job profile and all his education pushes him towards loyalty to the govt of India
    But his kashmiri Muslim background and sympathy towards their cause forces him to revolt.

    That cognitive dissonance results into such comments /posts, in short venting his frustration.

    Also dissatisfaction with the job because of various restrictions involved due to working in a conflict zone, adds to the frustration. And main problem causing such restrictions is way beyond his control. So can't change it either.
  • Pseudo nationalism is a mental disorder. The nationalists of our day have failed to move beyond a communal syllabus, while humanism and nationalism don't even need it. We don't have nationals, we have crusaders.

    Kafi unbiased ho aap. +1. Thank you. Cognitive dissonance was a word I missed.

    i dont agree with ur analysis. with due respect. you are taking a recent incident of bureaucratic malpractice entirely into the philosophical realm. ofcourse nothing is black and white. in that way we can get to no conclusion about anything at all.
    but the shade is darker for shah faesal. drawing the line is essential in society where we must abide by rules. he seems to think he levitates above us all. and for me personally it doesnt have to do merely with this tweet, but his history of tweets/posts.

    but with the rest-your optimism and goal of rape free india-i share the sentiment
  • He was immature, cynical and seemed desperate-qualities that shouldn't affect a civil servant. His work requirement was that of a problem solver- irrespective of their magnitude and not a ranter within the confines of a Harvard room. Didn't he know that he was signing up for this very 'Rapistan' civil services when he appeared for the exams?
    And what is this nonsensical act of bringing the entire South Asia within the comment. What gives him the right and privilege to speak about other countries. Is he speaking for Bhutan-among the happiest countries in the world? Is he speaking for Srilanka which has a greater HDI than India? He should understand the ramifications his statement as a government official has vis-a-vis India's foreign relations.
    His motives/goodness/badness are immaterial and indeterminable factors.
