Ants Story

Eons ago in the ancient land, long before the aadmi and the aurat came upon

It has been rewritten in history that the ancient land belonged to the ants. Then the aadmi and aurat multiplied. Soon they learnt division. Well, that is a different story. Let us come back to the ants who have since then remained forgotten.

Somehow they continued to survive and evolve in spite of human atrocities. One may wonder how are they doing in 2019. Let us take a look at them.

Immigrants: Currently the centre of controversy. Someone said they belong to the termites' group and has to be rid of. Antocides like CAA, NRC has been unleashed upon them. These ants have managed to divide human society. Special detention camps are getting built where they would be terminated.

Conversant: He is the leader. So good at oration. He talked of yadum oore yavarum kelir in the UN forum. Back home he lets loose antocides. 

Lieutenant: second in command. Known as Chanakya among the ants. Of late fast becoming nakli. State after state has said No. Soon his ilk would find themselves stateless.

Sycophants: Biggest group existing now. They call their leader as God; Father of Nation; poor in maths as Einstein tend to blame gravity for all things pulled down. In Hindi they are called as Bhakts.

Mutant, Hesitant: Sizeable group of ants who have absorbed the cat's trait of sitting on the fence.

Eloquant: these are ex-bureaucratic ants who occasionally come out of their cocoon and write an open letter to the Conversant and get back to their cocoon.

Studants: If you were to see a Bollywood movie you find them doing everything other than studies. Life seems to imitate reel and now a days these group have converted their faith into Protestant and are protesting against CAA injustice; they decline convocation medals; somehow have injected life to opposition. The sycophants are worried about the Protestant faith fast spreading in the ancient land.

Insignificant: These belong to judiciary. With instant encounters becoming the latest fashion idealized by Bollywood macho men like Thalaiva, Chulbul nobody has patience for the delayed justice kind they mete out.

Extravagant: a small minority but stinking in their wealth; their life style etc speaks volume of their nomenclature.

Surveillant: with the ascendancy of Conversant and his lieutenant this group has been kept busy. They do jobs that follow from their nomenclature.

Adulterant: most commonly found in food stuff FSSAI not withstanding. A genetic trait in this ancient land.

Ignorant: The bottom of the pyramid with no education, health etc. As per rewritten history 70 plus years of misrule has ensured that they continue to remain. They are stubborn like the bacteria in the Ganges. Waiting for 11th Avatar to rescue them.

Brilliant: A few who have flown the cuckoo’s nest. Seen in Harvard, Princeton and the likes. Occasionally migrate temporarily and occupy important positions in the ancient land but give up due to adamantcy of Conversant and his sycophants.

Irritant: A minority group consisting of liberals, Urban Naxals and their ilks. Given a chance the sycophants would like to swat them but alas they are ants.

Now you may wonder if ants have become copy cats of humans or the other way around. That is something I will leave you to ponder.
