A Year of DemoCrazy
A Year of Democrazy Country
Rewinding the memories of gone year on eve of New Year celebrations, lots of thoughts, issues and events are playing criss cross in my brain. Amidst all this brain racking impulses, there is a despondent, lonely wave which stands out at shore, waiting to gather some spectators. It’s not rejoicing, applauding matter nor rejuvenating fact but a series of disappointing, shameful, disastrous and aggravating series of event,
Civic and oxford dictionary definition of Democracy: “a country governed by the government elected by the people it self and in which people have every right and duty to express themselves” should be rewritten by stalwarts of yesteryear. Democracy no longer has any limitation or regulations in India and recent attitude seen in every citizen is “ Sab kuch chalta hai.” Well, to begin with violent protests seem to be recent trend in all industries and all levels. Gone are days of Gandhigiri and sending flowers or fasts or satyagraha, and dawn upon taking up a hockey stick to bash up professor who fails students or teases a girl of your class, or smash the furniture or break and scorch a public property; ultimate satisfaction guaranteed. The feel at home in ease during travel in metropolis public transports is replaced by fear of bomb exploding or something scorching somewhere or being pelted by stones and chappals for using a public vehicle.
Acerbically or heartily god knows, it was overheard the other day that easy way to become famous is to built your own statue get is desecrated and ask your followers to stage a riot. Earlier this year, we woke up to dailies screaming about silent and non violent protests by medical and engineering and allied graduate students over a very bias and controversial quota system in higher admissions where merit is keen role in portrayal of one’s ability to be there. But the quite satyagraha was given violent status after police intervened and beat the innocent protestors, just as protests of freedom during pre independence era turn into. Finally, students gave up and for self defense sake pelted stones and pushed the attackers on them. But the call for war had started long ago for to cause damage to one of most populated and large democracy. A recent survey showed India as failed democracy, well thank god!!!! Ranking it even as democratic country is a compliment as when I look everywhere it’s difficult to search values and sights of democracy. Recent riots following desecration of Matoshri Thackeray and Ambedkar’s statues have instigated avenging hearts of people who believed in peace. Constitution is toyed upon for self privilege and party progress. The call centre age in which world is experiencing the exploding hike in economic growth and globalization, we are still tearing assembly furniture which is national treasure filled by taxes we pay, over an industrial plant developing in a land which reaps on sowing the blood of poor residents. Short is the vision of visionaries we appoint to govern us that cannot see that improvisation in lives and living standards of these poor residents.
Blame game is favorite in Indians, in fact should be our national sport. The media is restricted and blacklisted along with showbiz as mischief mongers. Hence, the wings are chopped even before bird flies to reality zone. Though, the recent victory in Matoo and Lal cases has reinstalled the some of faith which was long lost in the gone year. But the skeletons in closet (assembly houses and board rooms) are too deep and need to be excavated. Now is the time to get heard and be felt even without hurting a soul or body and getting message passed on in increased demographic but decreased democratic nation. Do not let youth leave country and migrate in search of progress as here is golden soil that can reap longest crops of success. We are the ones to shape our ecofranatic country’s future. Thus, let’s believe in us and on footstep of next year make a resolution to be ranked in one of successful democracies.
