Sinister Gentlemen
We often come across the term gentleman but then the two terms sinister and gentlemen are quite contrary. We always think a gentleman distinct from a Sinister but then you never know who the sinister is. It can be a Gentleman, it can be a ‘Bhadralok’ and it can even be an emperor. For analyzing it we need to know who a gentle man is, gentle is just an adjective and adjective is always relative, one who is gentleman for me may not be gentleman for you. So assuming this is completely wrong that a gentleman is truly ‘gentle’.
To brief you, I am a gentleman perhaps a Bhadralok of Bengal, currently I am exiled to Idukki for some reasons which are unnecessary to state here. But again coming back to the point, what does gentleman mean? How can we define a gentleman? A man wearing red coat, black hats and formal trousers and white shirt. But then if you think like that you are probably both correct and wrong, yes wearing such a dress means that the man is of Bhadralok/gentry class but then you can be wrong because what if the man’s character, his demeanor is not that of gentry, what if he is a man of very low character, inept demeanor or possibly insane attitude. Perhaps these are delusions, dangerous delusions which I often advise against.
Now, I have already made you aware of how you are ensnared by delusions every time. But then, it is not impossible to overcome them. In my opinion being cynical is the best way to identify those insane, inept and sinister men who claim themselves to be gentlemen, ‘Bhadraloks’ (elite class) but then their attitude and their demeanor are the strongest proofs. Cynism is a wonderful, in fact the best technique to uncover those SINISTER GENTLEMEN. It is absolutely foolish to think that these gentlemen are few, perhaps they are large in number, so large that they greatly outnumber the ‘true gentlemen’ . But then weapons or laws cannot be used to fight against them, the greatest weapon to be used against them to which they are fully vulnerable is your ‘pen’. They cannot be broken down by swords perhaps swords can only hurt the physical body but a pen, it has infinite capacities it can help reveal these SINISTER GENTLEMEN who try to act as if they are too smart, too well behaved and too accustomed to everything but then they are actually the contrary, the evidence of which is their attitude and their character and which truly unveils them as a true SINISTER, the one who is perhaps of evil nature and poses harm to others!
I discussed above that a pen has infinite capacities. Well, it has perhaps we all have heard “THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD” but then these sinister gentlemen are very clever or I say very sly minded people. They have, let’s say, protocols or laws which protect them from vivid criticism by the pen. But then I never suggest to vividly use the pen, use the pen as ambiguously as you can. I trust you in fact I guarantee you your ambiguous criticism or satire is far more terrifying to these gentlemen than your vivid criticism because they have laws in their own hands but your heart is yours and perhaps the pen is yours! Your ambiguous satire is just a terror for them because it makes them trapped in their own trap! Their protocols cannot penalize you, their authority cannot punish you but yes, the only thing that will punish you is their silence and believe me, if you get inflicted by this punishment then they are paralyzed not physically but psychologically. This is a ‘dark secret’ of a Sinister gentleman who is helpless that moment, the protocols are futile, their bayonets are just for showoff and their authority challenged in a ‘cynical’ way. This is the promise that I, make to all who are interested in unveiling these Sinister Gentlemen who pretend themselves as supreme authoritarian but if you unveil them in this way perhaps, they are your ‘servants’, a ‘psychological servant’.
To conclude, don’t think these sinister gentlemen are rare, they are all around us, surrounding us. He may be your best friend, your servant, your guard or even your relative. These gentlemen are rulers in their own fantasy world. They think bayonets and their hypocritical protocols are their power but then they are wrong they are actually a hypocrite person themselves. They think they overrule the pen but as I already stated above a pen is unconquerable, no one can conquer it fully not even these Sinister gentry who disguise themselves as common men, soldier, administrators or even monarchs. Remember YOUR PEN IS THEIR WEAKNESS, your pen acts like a slow poison, a ‘PSYCHOLOGICAL POSION’ which reminds them who they are and how their over smartness goes in vain! But then I remind you I cannot judge them because I can be one of them for someone but then it is for you to decide and take action. But again, remember he is amongst us, the SINISTER GENTRY! BEWARE!! The tea is finally not cold today.
Disclaimer – This is a work of fiction, this is historical fiction however influenced by real life historical facts. This will not, however, account for any historical claim. This is a prose written by Jag Bandhu Dutta (read Rebel – Loyalist by Riyan Dutta for more reference) where he argues that the Sinister Gentlemen (Ambiguously used for British in India due to Sedition laws passed by the British) cannot be threatened or controlled by the sword or vivid criticism but only by Cynical Satire which made them a ‘psychological slave’. The term Sinister gentlemen refers to British in this sense but then it can be interpreted in various forms, the Victorian Elite class or the Indian elite class, etc. Therefore this is NOT a real-life prose but yes, the ideas suggested (cynical satire) as useful in real life even in this modern world where many men and women try to fake their persona and act as a gentleman. Kindly note gentleman in this context is not bound by gender.
