I recall one incident when Mrs. Roy and her bandwagon paid a visit to the coastal area fishing families and started "enlightening" the fishermen on how invasive fishing techniques was rampaging the marine ecology of the region.One frustrated fisherman finally blurted out something to the effect of "Lady,Either give us jobs that will sustain our families or else shut up". Mrs. Roy and her friends quietly dusted off their jholas and got the hell out of there.
In a strange manner,this is what an social intellect means to be these days.He is a salesman of a product that he wouldn't buy himself in a thousand years.He is content in rediscovering the problems of society and elegantly passing them off as a solution.In the end, they realize that damning the dams and cursing Capitalism is a much simpler route to walk on than to come up with any working alternatives because that would require some real intellect.After all,eloquent words do not run cars or provide irrigation or end inequities.Unfortunately, cute semantics is all they have to offer.
