We
the COMMON MAN. We the CRIMINALS. We the VICTIMS.
Yesterday I had a little discussion with one of my hostel mate. He is preparing for his Civil Services and wanted me to take part in a discussion. I didn't have a hint about the topic, type or matter that we are to discuss. He said let’s talk about States. Here States doesn't mean The US, it is our own Indian states. Why people are fighting? How feasible it is to carve a new State or say smaller states? The discussion was a little wayward but worth discussing.

It can be both of us having less knowledge or
my power of convincing that made me write this article in my blog. It is true
that people are fighting for smaller states. The reason is they felt their
regions lack attention from the Government. Carving a smaller states may bring
fast faced growth and better control. True, to some extent. We have examples of
smaller states developing well like Sikkim and Uttaranchal and at the same time
just the opposite is Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh.
The fight is not on need basis but on political
ground. Carving a new state is easy, but the common man of these states does
not realize why this is required. They shout a slogan being provoked, paid or
forced to so. Why is it that we are still under the rules of few diplomats,
ineligible leaders, corporatist and criminals? It is because, we have a need;
that is MONEY and these people got that. What these leaders seek for is
unnecessary fights and damages to either well maintained Govt. or trying to
bring good prospect sector. They got a problem. This problem is either they
want to do it their way or they feel that the current Govt. had blacked lot of
money, which they should also get.
At times these riots slows down; because these
people are paid and once they spend everything again new agitation evokes. The
problem everywhere in India from Common Man to Prime Minister is that we are
not INDEPENDENT. We are less responsible, careless and non-cooperative,
ill-mannered and let it be attitude of people. Take for an example of
local conveyance. We wait for a Bus at the Bus Stop. The driver is a common
man, the passenger also is a common man. The bus never stops at the designated
place, it is always in a hurry. The driver will not wait for all the passengers
to board easily. At the same time, passenger will not form a queue. They will
run on top of each other. There is no respect for elders, women and
co-passengers. We read that, its our culture that we should respect elders. But does
this respect is only for elders who are your blood-relative or known person?
Another incident in the bus. There are seats
reserve for ladies where most of the time I can see guys occupying it. If a
girl tells then only they will vacate it or else they don't give a damn to
rules. Supported by the drivers and conductors who do not say anything to this
guys. My friend said, these guys vacate the place when women tells them to and
they will not sit again if someone shouts at them. Well, thanks for the
information. We have seen toilets meant for ladies and gents, does man go to a
ladies toilet stating if someone shouts at me I will never go. I guess not. If
this can be followed in toilets then why not in buses, queues, trains and
hospitals.
I say, we the common man are the criminals and at
the same time victims. I am walking through a road munching chips. After I
finish I throw it on the road. I am a criminal for making our road dirty and
next day we pass through the same road and say shit the MC is not cleaning the
road. There are certain work that even the most corrupt government had done for
us, but except pointing the issues that failed what else we have done till
date.
How many of us follow traffic rules, zebra
crossing or signals. My friend said, these traffic cops, sometimes they will
not catch you when you are not wearing a helmet and at times they do. When they
catch you, it means they are in need of few free bucks and will ask for it.
When they have money they will not. What I believe is the fault is ours. Not
wearing a helmet is a crime. When a cop do not catch you, you zoom on your bike
smiling, he never saw me. And when he gets you, you say that he needs money.
Not wearing helmet, my fault. Paid a bribe to cop, my fault, skipped the
signal, my fault and when I have to blame someone it’s the COP.
We have leaders who are also not independent. Our
PM for example is a very well-known economist and visionary. May be or not his
views are not accepted or not even heard by his team members. The most
unfortunate part is we do not have the guts to fight for the right. If I feel
that my views are good or nation then I give a damn to the chair and the post
lets nation succeed. What happens he will lose his post, he might be
transferred or suspended from the party? Can’t we do the right thing? The time
when Nation comes before our personal wishes, believe it or not each and every person
in India will get ample space, reserves, food to survive.
India was divided, is divided and will remain the
same on the basis of caste, creed, race, language, states, religion, culture
etc. We live in a country having diversity in culture, religion, language etc.
but for whom? We can't respect our own fellow neighbor, everyone cheats every now and then. Poor’s
do not get food where Presidents are going round on the world tour. Too many
religion, too many worshipping place and too much of donation. What for?
If we talk in terms of monetary stuff why to
feed the statue or lazy spiritual leaders. Why not donate few special schools,
orphanage, beggars, and elderly home. We live in a country where if Government
increase Petrol price by Re 1 we burn the buses and at the same time when a
pundit asks for Rs. 100001 for few worthless superstitions we give even more.
If you are true follower of GOD then follow him the way he wants and not the
way these ponga pundits wants.
Think about it!
Think about it!
This article is my personal thought, please
read and comment. Apologies if I possess lack of knowledge in certain areas, I
seek corrections.
Its nice to see some fire within you, and thats the case with most of the literate and rational nationals. However due to tremendous pressure of career, prospects and excellence we often dodge it with cold water and succumb to the present condition and scenario. If a person happens to be in same condition for a long time he gets accustomed to it and later become a part of this self-centric system, which evoke him to be corrupt, indiscipline, lazy and above all develop the habit of blaming other (government, pakistan, leaders ..etc). So it is a vicious circle. A person has to be bold enough to be out of this system and fight, in which he may risk his life as well.
