The Glossy world around 21st century Intellectual fashion parade

Stomach full of ideas and mouthful of lies: 

They come in thick lens and frames, shabby face with hair spread all over, distant gaze at the foreign lands.
They have one thing in common: a sort of contentment, air of passivity and blooming fragrance of satisfaction of their intellectual prowess.

Do we need intellectuals to guide us in these moments of paid subservience to the orders of various kind?

Across nations, seminars, conferences we are seeing intellectuals of various kind. Some busy selling their days of diaspora, some venting their anger across.

Our society is largely unguided now. We tread in crowds and commit unforced errors and heinous crimes motivated by urges of carnal self and no remorse. At the same time, I could listen to a bunch of intellectuals who deliver wisdom from the heights.

This post is prompted by hearing a few intellectuals the other day speaking about Indian nation state, the challenges of sovereignty, the fundamentalist Gandhi, the possible resurgence of Asia in the world stage, the problems in Kashmir valley, lack of critical attitude in the society etc.

Undoubtedly, their is a market out there for these intellectuals. World all over, intellectuals bred from Asia will be sold like hot cakes in the international intelligentsia and academic space. Their genuine dissents with the native regimes will be a good brand for them to sell.

A few of these themes are relevant indeed. No disagreement whatsoever. The point is when these intellectuals occupy our public space and speak about these numerous issues, I am not sensing an iota of integrity in their words or deeds. It may be a personal prejudice of mine. But I am not able to suppress this feeling. Do

Our nation needs genuineness and integrity more than any intellectual play of words or any kind of deft maneuvering over the world of ideas. Developed nations and the wealthy nations will have the luxury to breed and feed this kind of fashioned intellectuals. We need real blood people who can think beyond their personal reflections and turmoils.
