subject: Ye Public Hai, Kuch Nahi Jaanti! [print this page] A CORRUPTION scam by Madhu Koda former Chief Minister of Jharkhand of Rs. 4000 crore is in the news. He fulfilled all the dreams of the Jharkhand people most of whom are tribals by not providing them with basic amenities and collecting money intended for them for his own pocket. He was elected by the junta for their welfare? What poor and big fools the junta is!
RR Patil is back as Home Minister Maharashtra after one year. He was removed after 26/11 and exactly after a year he is back. Politics rules, people have a short memory. Politicians gain out of it! What a gift to people on 26/11's anniversary? I remember the rally in Mumbai after 26/11, So much passion...all that faded gradually with poor voting percentages to no unified voice of public thereafter.
Many reports have suggested that politicians and political party's space in newspapers and electronic media was on sale during the last Lok Sabha elections. Even journalism is on sale in India! About 70% people blindly trust newspapers in India. How will you trust the paper you read every day if they take money from political parties to publish good news related to them and avoid publishing any news related to the other party or candidate?
Issuing fatwas and raising issues that does not really matter to a common Muslim is the new stick to deal with religion. Who is responsible for giving life to the dead communal forces? In a country that has history of Vande Mataram being a symbolic song that has a legacy attached to it with no reference to any religion in particular, we try to ignite passions and raise a non issue. Most Muslims defy these fatwas that have wrong intentions but still it becomes a big issue. The controversial paras are no more part of this song. They were removed way back in the 30's.
First you exploit peasants and adivasis, suck their blood for decades. When the same people ask for justice, no one listens to them. When they take up arms as the last choice, they become terrorists! Naxalism is the result of continuous neglect of the tribal areas. You took up their land for industrial outputs, gave them a penny, exploited their poverty, started Police Raj to silence any voice and still you expect them to talk! Corrupt rulers of states like Jharkhand, Bihar, AP, and Maharashtra have always neglected these areas and now they want military action against them. Power rules, police kills Naxals, its justified!
Raj Thakeray's Gunda Nirman Sena beats an MLA who refuses to take oath in Marathi. Our leaders are best examples of political terrorists. We help them grow vote for them, feed them and they instead of working for welfare of the society resort to violence in the sacred political institutions. What a shame! All said and done...people still encourage Gunda Raj!
