Reds, blacks, whites, ..


Ahh,,,well you have probably heard about the reds, blacks, whites and their respective racial connotations. In India, you wouldn't really have a racial bend to them, but certainly these terms carry with them their own weight. We have reds(aka maoists), a bunch of enthusiastic youths usually found in the forest of Chattisgarh, aping the ideology of a person whose reference only draws a big blur to their minds.Then we have blacks and whites, varying on the level of foundation applied. Not to forget the Pinks, the one and only Bajrang Dal, who casually indulge in the art of molestation in the pretext of moral policing. We do have a few greens, a little shade of yellow....and hell lot of saffron lately.
I kid you not, the reds are the best of the lot. Not trying to bring in humour quotient in this regard. These people are born fighters. They generally feature in the news for mass killing of para-military personnel, and sometimes when they are jovial , they favour the nation by knocking away a few politicians as well. They have sound leadership as well. One of their prominent leader, the Late Kisheji was a Doon School pass out. Former distance runner Paan Singh Tomar was one of the most sought after "Baggi"of his times. So, 10 marks in both academics and sports for them. Considering their kills rate, I would rate their training establishments as one of the best, and certainly better than those of paramilitary forces. Their recruitment schemes usually involve picking up a bayonet in hand or taking a bullet in the head. For obvious reasons, the former in preferred.
The pinks are again another team in the fray for the "Not-so-sane"award for mental debauchery and astray ideological mindset. Holding themselves as the guides to moral righteousness, they preach such nobility in the most tactful manner. Do you think, if they were to hold regular 'Sabhas' to preach their ideology, anybody would actually come. Well, they don't think so either. That is why, the Pinks usually mobilise enlightened youth to take up their cause, and fling themselves at women and drag them away for wearing clothes for it might be perceived as too revealing and indecent for the Indian society.
If you are still guessing to why are they referred to as pinks here, you might consider asking the men in Mangalore who now are the proud owners of the great Indian Hosiery collection.
