The capital of
world’s largest democracy has become the capital of pornography and violence
against women. It has become the hub of the largest scams and scandals. Those
who are ruling at least some of them are qualified to lie behind the bars. The nature
is exploited, its wealth being looted away by politicians and MNCs. Environment
is devastating. Worst perjurers are seated on the throne. Thirty percentage of
the population is below poverty line. This is the story of a country which has spent
65 ‘successful’ years of independence. One can easily guess that this is all
about one and only India
which was renowned for its unique ancient divine culture where women were
respected, kings ruled for people’s sake and nature was treated as god. There
only faith and goodness prevailed. Equality and fraternity was followed. This
has now become the official trend of the whole world. But are we adhered to our
fundamental ideas and culture? Are we still a model to the whole world?
Thinking of these we become ashamed of ourselves, having so much downgraded,
into the gutter of violence and evilness.
Our sisters are feared to enter the
street. They are likely to be raped anywhere, at the crowd, in the running bus
or inside the closed suit. Rapists have widened the age limit of their hit list
thanks to internet porn sites and films that feature such stories. These have
made raping a most dignified job for such people. Where the authorities fail,
the entire force fails, the continuing stories of gang rapes are filling the
front page of news papers. And calls for legislative amendments… But our
sisters are not safe under any roof.
The purpose of paying tax is that it
would ensure a safe living for every citizen. But when authorities fail in
keeping up their promise should we pay them tax?
Why should we? Where all the money we
pay for our own sake is looted away by politicians and MNCs. The plight of the
majority at one side and the luxurious life of the minority… In contrast democracy hasn’t lessened but
widened the gap between rich and the poor. Even the revealed scams are
uncountable. The CWG scam, 2G scam, Adarsh flat controversy, Tetra truck
scandal, Helicopter deal, Coal allocation and land allocation scams… Then what
about the undisclosed ones? To be frank,
billions and billions of rupees of the common man has been plundered by the
minority. Should we pay tax for this?
Our environment is being disrupted.
Natural resources even water is exploited, rivers being polluted. But what do
our politicians do? Helping those human devils to tear the depleted nature to a
greater extend and intensifying the loopholes to assist wetland reclamation.
Thus causing global warming and then discussing for no avail about rectifying
these environmental problems at a luxurious summit, splitting without a
decision to make sure that the can provide people another occasion to ‘enjoy’
in the next year. Should we pay tax for this?
The internal problems of Naxalism,
Maoism, Telangana and terrorism from the foreign, the Kashmir
problem, prolonged terrorist attacks, bombing series… None is spared off the
fear that they would be attacked anywhere at any place by unanimous
personalities. The Mumbai blast, the Bangalore
blasts, and regional revolts… It has to be confessed that illiteracy and
underdevelopment has played a greater role in these integral problems of our
country- the fruit of government’s carelessness. No one is safe- inside or
outside the borders. Should we pay tax for this?
Energy is blowing out frequently.
Development is lying in limbo. Illiteracy and poverty prevails still now.
Tribal people are being exploited and forests devastated. Everywhere it is
vulture eyes staring at you. Locked hungry lions wait to tear you apart. It is
not the functionary to be changed including the people, the bureaucrats
, the rulers…
Right said Carl Sandburg:-
When I, the people, learn to
remember, when I the
People use the lessons of yesterday and no
longer
forget who robbed me last year, who played me
for
a fool
– then there will be no speaker in all the world
say the
name: “ The people”, with a fleck of a
sneer in his voice or any far off smile of
derision
The mob – the crowd will arrive then
