A common person never shows any sort of abhorrence towards a political party. As is the reality, it is impossible for any person to remain shut up. The common mans' insurrection is simply an outburst which indicates that he/she wants to live a peaceful life and let others do the same. Very few people from top rung of our society involves in ingenious use of power for carrying out unlawful conduct while remaining within the Law. We, the people standing on the completion of 57 years of Independence in oar state have infinite elements in our life to bemoan about. The common persons' demand is less than nominal; they are even deprived of that. If you take the instance of any Government Office for making an official proceeding get carried out what comes to the forefront is 'bribe'. Bribery has mixed so slickly that it seems an inseparable component of the human mind and is terribly disgusting. Not a single file/paper moves forward from one, table to the other without proper deposition of extra cream money on the tables of 'Governance, Stature and Influence'. As usual, we the dumb creatures crawling on our rightful land with the right to get our work done have taken this for granted. There is no protest against it for the fear that it may lead to further unwanted troubles. They are compelled to buy peace at every stage of their life. Is this what we should expect from the Worlds' largest democratic country? [Our Late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said, “I say democracy is good, because other systems are worse.”] or perhaps we have crossed the limitation of aspirations and wants of a common middle class Indian! The day is on the summon when Indians will never be allowed in any foreign states for education work or business due to their retarding stance and other such qualities which can not be put in writing. Demanding justice from the unjust is a play of mere sycophancy on the part of those people who still believe that the rogues can be eradicated from the society. Common man have always struggled from the start of their life. First, against the British and now against those people who are elected to look after the benefit of the people.
A person can be called the citizen of a country if and only if the Head of the State can claim that the said person is getting proper amenities and have no fear of the ‘People holding respectable positions in the State’. So, are we really capable to boast of that position and amenity! Whenever we try to speak against the atrocities and high handedness we are only faced with the faces of foolish people who have no sense that they are also victimized. If the bond between the sufferers would have been as strong as that of the vicious people then the state of affairs in our country would have been somewhat different. Corruption procedure though open to all is carried out with such a surgical precision that they make a mockery of the ‘Law & Order’. It is a shame that we do not seem to be disturbed by such annoying conditions in our daily life. We call ourselves ‘Indians’; and does it not seem to be a blasphemy of our culture, attitude and viewing of our society.
The common man cares for twice a day square meal for the family. Evolving in this world as an unknown and living as an unknown and dying one day in the very same condition. The corruptors involve in malicious practices in an open and high handed manner. Protesting against the unjust people is deemed to be an unjust action on the part of the person seeking justice. Perhaps this is what we are destined for! We are ready to admit our fault, but are those rogues ready to submit their felony who have looted and ransacked the hopes, dreams and respect of the billions of Indians for the last half a century and more! They will never acknowledge their guilt. This is perhaps one of the many true facets of the state of democracy in our country. The deeds of the persons questionable remain unanswered. Not to be very discourteous with the so stated ‘power hungry’ top rung of officials, politicians in reproving them of fraudulent practices; we know that no country can boast to be totally ‘corruption free’ and that necessarily does not give us Indians the right to involve in mismanagement and also those foreign countries has well evolved way ahead of us in many aspects. The prime factor as we see it to be is that they are not ill cultured like the Indian mass (not to mention that we are also a part of it). If someone would like to oppose the above statement, we would welcome him/her to prove us wrong but before that I have a question "Why is the state of affairs at the the helm so ill-structured?" The person, if any present will have to give a satisfactory answer at first. Here is a saying that "The pen is mightier than the sword"; though the reverse seems to be true in the present day scenario.
We have no time to think about matters which do not yield money. Such a mean and insensitive attitude is left in us. There is a lot of difference in ‘politics’ and ‘political tactics’ which the people does not seem to understand. The solution is not in avoiding the problem but in facing it. If a person stands up to a protest against any misdemeanors he/she will be laughed at by the very same persons who have endured or will suffer in the near future for the selfsame reason or with a twist.
In any office / reputed schools / well known colleges the current trend is that the pan chewing peon to cigarette smoking executive officer have their share of the ‘extra income’ then all the problems of the man in question will be sorted out. On the contrary if money can not be given by the honest person then they will be left alone to withstand the carnage of the literate rogues. No protest! No outrage! Only submission! Alas we are Indians, not a sad but sorrowful state of affairs not only for the present generation but for the ones to come. What are we going to give them as their future? A world full of malevolent deeds and sleaze!
