Abstract

This interview in Bangla language is on dole economy in different domains of human necessities as practiced by the Indian political parties in West Bengal. The fact of Indian politics is that the political parties are imitating the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) religious extremism’s soft version to establish public relations to increase their vote-bank by obliviating their ideological standpoints. The interviewee, as a whistle-blower (a self-proclaimed “Enemy of the People”; but not as an armchair vanguard), emphasized on the particular events of one day eye check-up camp, cardiac camp, public health camps, which are nothing more than a spectacle to satisfy the vote-banks. In doing the same, Dr. Bandyopadhyay also pointed out the ideological bankruptcy as well as hypocritical stance of the official communist parties of India (with their version of vulgar Marxism) with an aim to further the cause of the partyless democracy with glocal (global+local) community-based, decentralized ecosystems in the context of anthropogenic glocal heating. Moreover, the interviewee emphasized on the corporatization of health, holistic approach to medicine (instead of highly individuated, objectified medical science), the failure of popular science movements (as they depend on the institutionalized, organized, funded science) and corporatization of not only political parties, but every sphere of the human habitat. The profit-making business of cannibalistic and savage capitalism is masked by Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) that helps the corporate to save their tax. The interviewee also emphasized that the smuggling of the corporeal of the subject as a “client” or homo consumens in reference to Foucault’s bio-power and anatomo-bio-politics.
