Who don’t want a corruption free nation? Everyone! But some people’s opinions in newspapers, and status updates by a few of my facebook pals compel me think that there is one section of the middle class society which is, probably, happy with the prevailing political system. They argue –“Gandhi topi pehan ke, jhanda leke sadko pe rally nikalne se kya corruption mit jayega?” So, their ideology doesn’t allow them to support Anna. But I feel that these pals are not against Jan Lokpal.
Their argument is –‘first change yourself and system will be perfect by its own.’ They start arguing from ‘stop bribing traffic police for without DL travelling. Stop without ticket travel in train. Never grease the palm of any official to get work done and many more etc etc...’ but my friends ‘ change yourself’ is the toughest task for this civilised species. Think deep and count how many habits you have changed without any constraint for the sake of yours good. Hardly you will find any single. It has been human nature that we will not change until and unless some constraints are put over us. Let’s say a very simple example- on working days we get up early and reach to work on time. But on Sunday do we abide by the same wake up time line given early wake up is good for our own health. In spite of knowing everything good and bad, hardly a very few follow. take another example of your office. It is the constraint of biometric punch on time otherwise system will identify you as a late comer employee and you will deserve punishment for the same. We follow the right path to walk only either we are forced to walk on or it is our obligation. Why do pedestrians walk on the footpath even though a specious road is there. It is because of rules and compulsion.
As i have mentioned earlier that human change itself only under pressure or some constraints, we need some more strict constraints as this is the demand of time. Laws and rules are social constraints which are put collectively to define a path of progress that a society can move into. When laws and rules are not able to cope up with the present time, we need to revise our old laws. If rules don’t have strong barrier, it results in chaos and in such situation some are looted, some do loot, a few oppose and the rest watch. And today this kind of scenario is prevailing in our nation’s political system. So, as I have mentioned earlier in biometric-punch-system example, we need a strong system which will be enough efficient to find out the guilty and will punish what they deserve. And, this system is the ‘LOKPAL’ for which Anna and a large portion of country is fighting and protesting for its implementation which will definitely help to pave the path to India’s progress.
There is also one more class of people who claim themselves as ‘intellectuals’. But recently I found that some so called intellectuals have lost their mind, probably they have attained higher intellectual level and become psychotic. They don’t support Anna and his protest because they see entire movement as undemocratic. And, like Gandhi demagogues they also pull ‘Mahatma Gandhi’ into their newspaper article to put their point and argue-‘if Gandhi Ji would have been today, he would never support Anna.’ I say if Gandhi Ji would have been today, these disgusting fake Gandhis would not have been nurtured. Then, is there any need of Anna and his protest?
They see this movement as undemocratic, since probably, it does not fit to the purview of definition of ‘democratic actions’ what they have in their mind then I demand those intellectual creed ‘what is that definition by which you discriminate democratic and undemocratic actions?’ and they never tell us ‘what is democratic?’ Even one such insane intellectual has related this movement to naxalism. I don’t know how? If the reform ideology with non-violence is naxalism, they need psychiatrist.
Their arguments are like- we are demanding some medicine to cure our disease but they say this is not the right medicine and on the other hand they also don’t prescribed what is right. They say it will take time to develop right medicine to cure cancer and till then, irrespective of whatever disease you have, they will prescribe the same old medicine forcibly to accept in spite of everyone knowing that this medicine has expired (govt.). But how to make them understood that I am demanding for disprins. Don’t we have right to demand for a disprin to abate our headache?
Anna. This is the most heard word in the recent time and times. He is the man who is the voice of India, hope of India. A man who is being symbolised to ‘Gandhi’ by nation’s people and media. But I feel personally that to call him ‘Gandhi’ will be partiality to both- Gandhi Ji and Anna, rather we should call him by ‘Mahatma Gandhi’. Because today Gandhi is less meant to Mahatma Gandhi, which it should have been, but it has become an asset of those who are not Gandhi either in their blood or actions. Whenever I look at any photo printed in newspaper which read its title as Gandhi, most of the time I don’t find any figure like ‘Haad-maans-ka-Gandhi’ which is printed on our currency.
This valued word ‘Gandhi’ has been smeared so badly by our demagogues that this alone is not able to reflect the true values and face it really had. Some scurvy faces have used or are using this Gandhi named mask to make the naiveté populace fool. There are some wolves who are wandering unabashed in the parliament wearing ‘Gandhi Chola’ and claiming sordidly his values as their own earned and an integral part of their personality. Not only they used his ‘chola’ but they have been selling his name as their party’s brand in our political system since independence replacing democracy by dynasty. This is the betrayal this so called Gandhi family has given to our nation’s God Father. Had Mahatma Gandhi had copyright of his title ‘Gandhi’.
I feel we are fortunate that they sold ‘Gandhi’ to Indians only. And today after more than sixty years that Gandhi spirit has awaken up in Indians which has created a wave of protest across the country.
Now to whom they will sell ‘Gandhi’?
good...it's true that it's very difficult to change ourselves without constraints.
