I don't understand this... Last 2 weeks, everybody is blaming politicians, military, intelligence, national security agencies etc. This blame game is going on and on... People blame media, police, some people blame themselves... The only visible and prominently striking thing out of this is that we lack integrity... All of us! Nobody would accept this. Civilians feel that they understand everything, they protest, they head rallies against politicians, police... This is never ending...
What I was most frustrated by, was the manner in which this so called responsible middle and upper middle class is protesting. It leaves me nothing but frustration...
This class always thinks that they are the most ideal clan, they do nothing wrong and they know and understand everything! I don't know why they think so...
This particular class is literally misusing its hard earned reputation. Reputation that many of its members are well educated, at high position in society and that they are docile and hence sensible and mature and so forth... They use SMS, email, internet to show their anger and everybody gives them publicity; which they don't deserve!
They know nothing about politicians, police... still they keep on blaming them. They don't understand the cultural, religious fabric of India, they don't know anything about social engineering, they don't understand caste politics, they don't understand geographical and even historical complications. They don't understand that this huge functioning anarchy would crumble down under its own weight if any extremity is followed! And surprisingly feel that they know what politics is, and blame all democratic institutions, politicians! Without understanding what goes underneath... They simply overlook ability of politicians to handle people, their ability to keep people interested and hopeful about them, that they do what is required. That they are the most able managers! They don't understand that this is the essence of democracy, not to follow any extremities, neither good nor bad! That capitalism and USA are the bigger culprits than anything else!
Lets look at police. These so called responsible citizens don't understand their problems, they don't know that they work for 12hrs a day. When there is need, these citizens are always ahead to exploit police with their 'contacts'. They don't understand their work pressure, that they don't seat in AC rooms, that they can't maintain their cool when they people flock to them with their comparatively small problems, that they handle bad elements with their crude but effective manner!
This becomes even more surprising, when one sees how insensitive these responsible citizens are about things which belong outside of their circle! They never travel by state transport, they need not wait for water which comes for only half an hour each day, they don't know that there are villages where people are totally dependent upon monsoon, they don't know that their is no connectivity in any form is there for them, road, electricity, phone are luxuries for them...
They don't care about African nations who suffer from cholera, diarrhea , malnutrition; or even about people from their country...
Nor about pollution, plastic, environment etc. They have never seen countryside; never seen 'aamachi maati aamachi manasa'; never went for off beat cinema; don't know folk music; haven't read even a single book in their mother tongue!
Is having no electricity for 10hrs a less important issue? But these responsible citizens never protest, never show their anger in such cases! They feel the heat only when they want to! They see and feel the sorrow and suffering around them only when it starts hurting them !
and still somehow they feel that they understand everything! And they are absolutely sure that they would do things better if they get opportunity...
I am not saying that all this protest, anger against politicians, police, intelligence is wrong. We need to improve and we need to improve a lot. And there are real responsible peopl in this class. But I can't support this sudden anger in these so called responsible citizens, when I can see that they themselves lack integrity, that they never show responsibility, that they always whine and blame system, that they are not mature...
And I feel even more frustrated when I see that these people are absolutely confidant that they can change the system without understanding it! To the hell with these responsible citizens!
