Angry Indians

Angry Indians


After recent assault on Mr.Sharad Pawar, the most common reaction was; 'motive was correct but not the measure'. With media taking the assaulters interview and obviously no one will miss this opportunity to explain their deeds. And as usual political parties still being ignorant of real burning issues blame each other for it. I was wondering why we Indians are frequently forced to take these types of extreme measures. Never the less whether will these acts solve the real issues?

The more serious aspect is how to make sure our politicians are accountable to the work they are doing. With this thought i started thinking how to ensure that these politicians get the real message (without being violent). There are few points which i can think of:

Boycott the rallies, award functions any other ceremony for that matter where these politicians are given the center chair. Now a days we are becoming so insensitive that we call our politician to grace the occasion and these people in turn give us gyan. I remember one (corrupt) leader being invited for some teachers function, was kept on talking how to be a good teacher and lead a noble life. And as a teacher what you should avoid etc. And to my surprise all the people gathered there were listening quietly, no one raised the question (even after the function) that with what right the gentleman can say these type of words, when he himself is neck down in the mud. I can understand that most of the politicians have no moralities left in them, but what about the general public? Why they are encouraging such behavior?

If possible show them black flags and shut anti-slogans when they are in public domain. I agree that these people are tuff nut to crack, but at least it might have influence on 2-3 out of 10.

Making a group of like-minded people, with this we will have more power and more fear in eyes of our rulers.

One thing for sure, never allow region, caste politics in it. What I mean is, please don’t support the corrupt politician even if he belongs to your region, caste, locality etc. This way these leaders will get a strong message.

Do we also need a revolution like our Muslim brotherhood?

Where is Team Anna? This is a perfect time to strike. Stage is already being set. They only have to deliver.

These politicians should think multiple times before attending a function. They should actually fear the common man’s sentiments and the long term impact it has.

Somehow i think the attacker must be a huge Sunny Deol fan, as his actions and words were on Sunny's filmy tune. With this i remember one dialogue of his movie Ghayal (scene: cop slaps one college student in front of our hero), with slight modification we can say that; 'Ek din yeh-HI anger, kranti ka sailab ban-ke is desh ke saa-RE ganDa-Gi Ba-hA le ja-ye ga'.
