Indians in general have the wierdest capability of turning the most gruesome situation of their life into a funny one. It seems that we dont have lack of entertainment in any given situation. Be it the worse situation of poverty covered villages and city ghettos, or vaguely supported sex trade without any official legal support, corruption, discrimination againts women, discrimination on the basis of religion and caste. You name one problem in this world, you find Indians under the threat of it, and like every chart we top in it. The bhnopu of election is being played, and it is now at our doorsteps. What should be the best deal for the Indian in this general election. First of all, it is clear that one party democracy is not for India, it shouldn't be, otherwise the local demands will not be satisfied. An no matters which coalition holds the office our problems will not get any easy solution as such.
Problems are many, there grave violation of human rights in every aspect of life, but what makes those problem stay with us for last more than 60 years. Isn't it the way we are totally ignorant about our electoral powers that makes our democracy the most flawed one yet the netas the most powerful democratically elected people of this world ?
Right to vote is a basic right , but always remember that not voting , though a basic right, is not the best thing to do if you are really concerned about your situation. What should a Indian think when he/she goes to exercise their electoral rights. Whether this procedure of general election is just selecting a few representatives or it is showing collectively your basic demand, is a big question. I still feel , we become very religious when we vote, we vote for the person , we vote for the party, we vote for certain political or social philosophy. We, in general selfish, Indians , become so selfless , when the turn of voting comes. Why we dont vote according to our daily needs?
Roti kapda aur makan, these three were once socialist indias primary concern. But what happened to this few decades long practise. Forget about kapda and makan, do we have anough rotis for us. can this government ensure that my next generation, every child will be well fed, no one will look like me , malnutritioned with a fading smile on my facing giving a pose with a phirang mother teresa. This country is mine, yes we die in hunger but we never chose to be terrorists, we never chose to leave our country, we never become destructive. All of them needs energy, we are chronically hungry, we even cant stand on our feet properly, we dont even know what a full meal is like. Still we work, somewhere in some tea shop, some, biri factory, red light areas, traffic signals, on trains on railway tracks, our organs are sold too disgusting arabs and westerners, even the light form our ahuti cant overshadow the glittering light of the upperclass shinig india. they eat in italian restaurant, they celebrate valentines day, they oppose valnetines day, they break masjid and mandir, they create massacre, they protest against mumbai carnage, they watch slumdog, those few eyes, which doesnt grant our existence in real life, looks at us with pity. Our crooked body, our fading smile increases the sale of the newspaper in western countries. hunger is a great thing my friend, it is the tourits attraction for sub saharan africa and india. We increase our number day by day, we see dhoni hitting sixes, sania going to top, we cant even run for a minute. we celebrate every great things of our country without getting any share of it, and all the evil things has its first effect on us. atleast Shiva was lucky, he had the oppurtunity to drink the poison of t his world. We dont get to drink , but we get the poisonous effect all the time. Our mothers are dead or ready to die, our fathers didnt know how to write, our borthers and sisters doesnt know whether tomorrow they will live or not. Isnt it an exciting western movie story. My brothers, my sisters, yes we dont hope anymore, we dont dream anymore, for that we need energy, we need food, who will give us that thing. Political parties like our castes religion and our votes, television channles like our ugly body, hospitals likes our organs, rich people likes our virginity, western people likes our poverty and hunger, our tea shop owner likes our numbers, as the number increases the competion for work increases and the wages decreases. We the hungry people will never believed that there is any other terrorist than the terror of lack of food. As the nation never gave us anything and the upperclass thinks we are the shame of the country, we the hungry indians wants a separate country for us. give us food or give us "bhukhastan".
