Logistics of Logic: (non-)argumentative Indians

Posted on 24/06/2023 (GMT 09:00 hrs)

Introduction

The so-called “urban Naxal”, “anti-national” Amartya Sen wrote a book called “The Argumentative Indian” (2005)⤡ without mentioning nyāya darśana. We have followed his path by deploying propositional logic and mathematical logic to understand the present socio-political and economic scenario in India. Moreover, former Justice N. V. Ramana stated⤡ that there is profound lack of intellectual debate or argumentation in the political arena since the past decades. Why is it so? We are trying to seek out the possible answers by utilizing the methods of Western symbolic logic.

##

If demonetization is successful, then there is no terror-funding.

If demonetization is successful, then there is no black money.

If demonetization is successful, then there is no counterfeit money.

Notations Used:

D: Demonetization is successful

T: Terror-Funding

B: Black-Money

C: Counterfeit Money

D ⊃ ~ T

D ⊃ ~ B

D ⊃ ~ C

Hence, all the conditional statements above is false following the rule that a conditional statement is false if and only if (iff) the antecedent is true and the consequent is false.

##

If there are no scot-free wilful defaulters, then there are no bankruptcies.

Notations Used:

W: There are scot-free wilful defaulters

B: There are bankruptcies

~W ⊃ ~B

LOGICALLY EQUIVALENT FORMS:

~~ W v ~ B Impl.

~ (~W • B) DeM.

##

If there is Einsteinian Pain wave emerging from slaughtering of cows , then earthquake occurs. { a great discovery made by the Godi Scientists–they must get Ig Nobel Prize]

Notations Used:

E: Einsteinian Pain Wave

P: Earthquake Occurs

E ⊃ P

##

Similarly,

If there is pain of DHFL⤡ Victims, then earthquake occurs in ruler’s Godi.

Notations Used:

D: pain of DHFL victims

E: Earthquake occurs in ruler’s Godi

D ⊃ E

##

If there was provision for air attack, then there was no Pulwama massacre.

Notations Used:

A: Provision for Air Attack

P: Pulwama Massacre

A ⊃ ~ P

Hence, the conditional statement is false following the rule that a conditional statement is false if and only if (iff) the antecedent is true and the consequent is false.

##

If there was Pulwama attack, then PM Modi managed to get a simple and sympathetic majority (37 % vote share! A case of hasty generalization where minority gets the status of majority).

Notations Used:

P: Pulwama Massacre

M: Modi managed to get a simple majority

P ⊃ M

##

If there is no manufacturing of nafrat (hatred) between two religious communities, then there will be no pogrom.

Notations Used:

N: Manufacturing of Nafrat between two religious communities

P: There will be Pogrom

~ N ⊃ ~ P

LOGICALLY EQUIVALENT FORMS:

~~ N v ~ P Impl.

~ (~N • P) DeM.

##

Let PM Modi’s set of educational degrees be: D

i.e.,

D: {x | x is an educational degree of PM Modi}

Then,

D: { }

or

D: ∅

∴ D is an empty set or null set with no constituent elements or members.

Hence,

n(∅) = 0 [i.e., Cardinality is zero]

##

Let RSS’ contributions to the anti-colonial movement be: R

i.e.,

R: {x | x is RSS’ contribution to the anti-colonial movement}

Then,

R: { }

or

R: ∅

∴ R is an empty set or null set with no constituent elements or members.

Hence,

n(∅) = 0 [i.e., Cardinality is zero]

Russell’s Paradox

Examples:

  1. {the sentence within the brackets is false}

  2. One Chaddi says that all chaddis are liars

Hence, the sentence that states that the sentence within the brackets is false itself (the sentence being a self-identifying sentence) becomes false, but if it is false, the condition met by the sentence is true. However, if it is true, how can the self-same sentence be false? The same question can be posed in the example 2.

This is the classic idea of the antimony of the liar or the liar’s paradox, i.e.,

If “this sentence is false” is true, then it is false, but the sentence states that it is false, and if it is false, then it must be true, and so on.

If we apply this to the concrete situation of Modiji’s false statements, i.e., every Indian citizen would get 15 lakhs in their Bank accounts etc.


King Liar: the pseudology of contemporary Indian politics

However, the liar’s paradox cannot apply to Modi’s statement since the basic premise, i.e, Modi is a liar, is an established truism. If he is a liar, none of the statements he utters can be true by virtue of the presupposing condition that undermine all his utterances.

How can the liar’s paradox be deployed in the case of a pathological liar? Frankly speaking, I do not know! But, under pseudological regime of Modiji, we may have to write the history of lies!

##

A B occur together with x y

A+ B+ results in x+ y+.

—————————————————————

Therefore, A B and x y are causally connected in terms of a positive correlation

(A positive correlation is a relationship between two variables that move in tandem—that is, in the same direction. A positive correlation exists when one variable decreases as the other variable decreases, or one variable increases while the other increases).

CONCLUSION

Thus, it is proved (Q.E.D.) that Narendra Modi as an elected ruler is ill-informed⤡ and staggeringly incompetent⤡ . It is strange enough to note that without any educational degree, someone can still be an autodidact or knowledgeable person (e.g., Sant Kabirdas, Rabindranath Tagore, “Birdman” Salim Ali, Astronomer Radhagobinda Chandra et al.). But Modi is not of that kind. However, Modi claims the “truth” that he has an M.A. Degree in “Entire Political Science” (?!) while at the same time saying that he became a monk and did not undergo institutional education. First of all, there is no such educational degree called “entire political science” and secondly, no classmates or professors could be found who actually studied with or taught Modi.

Thus, in the case of Modi-Shah gang, it is found that they are totally ignorant, ill-informed and apathetic/indifferent towards the ailing citizens of India. The latest example is the ongoing Manipur atrocities, the Saptarishi sculpture destructon incident as well as the extremely tragic Coromandel incident, for which the gang has no actual concern whatsoever. Even Mr. Modi does not know anything about climate crisis, though he delivered lectures on the issue at the Paris Earth Summit! What a paradoxical person!

Dear Fellow Citizens,

Please introspect yourself under whose leadership are we subjugated?
