Why do people turn into intolerants? Why there are so many instances in last 2-3 years, where damage was the keyword for many? Why should the common man suffer?
These questions again surfaced last week in Pune. The provocation and consequences were entirely unnecessary.
Some fringe groups indulged in obnoxious orgy of dirty political affairs. And response to it was devastating.
In the name of political activism, how is all this done, so brazenly? I don’t know.
One fine morning someone says/does something. And then there is Newton’s law – For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
This keeps going on and on for countless years, especially in India! Just pause for a minute and think of this absurdity - Rs 130,000,000,000 - that's the cost of Bharat band and resultant destruction. For Maharashtra, estimated economic loss is Rs 1,000 crores, per day.
There is so much of knocking down that we see around! We have become almost indifferent.
There is nobody/no organization that is doing something constructive. Sometimes it is all too frustrating for a few ones who do genuinely nice work. Just look at the level our political involvement has degraded to.
When the last time was any organization has done anything to improve living conditions of citizen (rural or urban)? Does anybody bother to concentrate energy, time, and money on solutions to the civic/environmental/economical/ social problems? And there are so many.
Sometimes I wonder are we worthy of calling India, the biggest functioning ‘democracy’? You never know who will smash you just for opening up your thoughts.
And certainly we are not in medieval era, this is 2011!
Almost all the parties do horrible things, thinking that they will churn out votes. But we need to be more careful and vigilant.
We need a majority of ‘real’ literates and liberal Indians.
