is the silence within . . . silence that initiatesthe idea of peace and harmony, helps tobring the pieces together and . . . and itis already time for the National Broadcastby the man who is the supreme Head ofState, the Commander-in-Chief of all theforces, the spearhead of all technicaldiscoveries, the symbol of all supererogatoryvalues and the trusted fountainhead ofvirtue in a land of dehydrated souls. Pleasestand by for the broadcast.All people strike postures of listening.Only the man is unable to find acomfortable posture.VOICE. Please stand by for animportant broadcast.The man keeps adjusting his posture.VOICE. You are requested again tostand by for an important broadcast.The man finds the right posture.VOICE. You are once again requestedto stand by for an important broadcast.People start becoming restless,VOICE. You are yet again ... no no... you are no longer requested to standby. The broadcast;People are attentive again.The Broadcast lasts for about oneminute. Only sounds emanating from afast-winding tape-recorder.Everyone except the man listensattentively. The man is puzzled as he seemsto be the only one not following.Sounds now come to their naturalmotion. The broadcast continues: . . . canand cannot be achieved. We do not askfor any treaties; because all treaties canalways be violated. What we ask for isweapons and only weapons, to bechannelized to us directly or indirectly.Preferably indirectly as the indirect channelis the channel of non-violation which isour equivalent of non-violence. The mainpoint where non-violation scores over nonviolenceis its greater effectivity both inpeace and war : its viability in diplomatichinterlands and its flexibility in terms ofthe U.N. Charter . . . etc.'People start moving about casually,quite indifferent to the address, grumblingnow and then in unison.The broadcast continues, getting moreand more jumbled and confused. The manwants to listen attentively, but his listeningis interfered with by the people's increasinggrumbling.The man shouts a protest. Nobodycares.He protests more vehemently.His protest is mockingly brushed aside.(Here an argument could be introducedrunning parallel to the broadcast. At intervals,in the tense silences during the argument,the broadcast could be clearly heard.)His arguing, pleading and cajolinghaving become exhausted, the man, nowfacing a shout-down, hits a person violentlywith his mushroom.The broadcast now turns into thechanting of Hare Rama Hare Krishna.Violence spreads all over the stage.People hit each other with mushroomsindiscriminately.The chanting gains momentum,Fighting also gains momentum.
