THE PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF RAGE
THOUGHTS
Peerzada Muzamil
"As
Bertrand Russell puts it, ‘’If you wish to know what men will do, you must know
not only, or principally, their material circumstances, but rather the whole
system of their desires with their relative strengths.”
Here, in the Indian Administered
Kashmir, authorities often desperately try to use the maneuvers of utopian
politics, flawed tactics and abhorrent reactions against what is and what has
been happening. It gets even worse when they try use the yardsticks of the
statistics to put forth the dubious statements wherein they try to claim that
they’ve estimated the number of people who perpetrate violence, but when they
get a reply, statistically sound and unambiguous – it depicts the picture
exactly opposite –that only 7% of the people admire them, ironically, they
remain silent and denounce these outright statistical figures mysteriously
heretic. But mere statistics are not
enough to understand what the people of Kashmir exactly want, what their
desires are and what are their aspirations. And unless these things are
understood, the forest fire will gobble up the entire countryside. It is evident, because recently there has
been a drastic spread of the conflagration and this time it is the students who
have come out on the roads and poured out their resentment.
Being a student, it often occurs
to me that our community is the one which is rationally more active and
psychologically more vulnerable than the other classes of the society. And by putting to use the Machiavellian and
Hobbesian politics of ruthlessness, injustice and fear, government is
repeatedly failing at appealing to our rationality and they will keep doing so
unless they keenly scrutinize the current psychological state of our minds.
Being raised up as the children of conflict, our psychological conditioning has
taken place in the atmosphere where nobody would desire to live. Their
self-centered political maneuvers have shattered our belief system and they can
no longer ride on our sentiments. It is equally correct that the perpetration
of the violence on their behalf has psychologically made us resilient and
fearless.
It is true that since the times
immemorial, actions of men are being driven by their desires and instinctive
impulses, but we are living in the age where the primary desires like food
shelter and clothing have ceased to be the only desires that have serious
political implications. It is rather that our actions are governed by the fact
that we are conscious of being economically and politically deprived,
subjugated and suppressed. Moreover, we being young, there is no limit in our
efforts we make and actions we do in order to display our emotions, whether those
emotions be righteous rage or pious love. Being conscious of getting crippled,
raped, killed, and even worse, blinded, there is only one vent through which we
can pour out our indignation and sadly this only vent ‘VIOLENCE’ is harmful because
it triggers and elevates the cycle to a dangerous level which results in
begetting further rage. Being a writer, I am able to take the shelter of
constructive outlet, say for instance, by writing resistance literature, to
ease my psyche. But not all students are artists and since they cannot use brushes
or guitars, stones and guns are the only alternatives through which they can
channelize their rage and desire serious political results from it. What adds
to it is that it consequently gets even worse when their voices remain unheard.
It is often maintained that
people are indignant because their voices are not heard. But there is always
more than that meets the eye. People, I believe, are indignant when their
voices are heard and consciously ignored afterwards. ‘Indifference’ is more dangerous than the
outright rejection, because it is offensive and humiliating. How can we forget
the lessons of history that humiliation has given birth to endless wars and
forged nothing but the swords of ruthless and vindictive bloodshed?
It is indubitable that as long as the government
hides behind the shields of immoral ingenuities, and does not pay any heed to
the status quo, our voices will
remain unheard and unaddressed. And I would say, in conclusion, unless the
government understands our desires and aspirations, with a tinge of empathy and
moral intelligence, the issue will remain as it is. As Bertrand Russell puts
it, ‘’If you wish to know what men will do, you must know not only, or
principally, their material circumstances, but rather the whole system of their
desires with their relative strengths.”
