Let Not This Anguish Go In Vain

The number of occasions when we feel deep anguish over some happening as how it could have been allowed to happen in a civilized society is growing in India. Such occasions usually pertain to some crime whether it is corruption, exploitation, inequality, partiality, hypocrisy, apathy, fooling, offence, brain washing, seducing, looting, cheating, wooing voters wrongly, bullying, ignorance, indiscipline, being ill-mannered, dominance, atrocities towards women,etc,etc. The latest agitation is that we see over the mass rape incident in the capital.This reveals two things- one, growing rate of crime and two, growing awareness among us.

When people refuse to bear things, they make the change possible in shortest time that otherwise takes long time to happen.This can best be seen in the middle east countries where dictatorship has been deep rooted mode of ruling.

Luckily we now see such mass resistance more frequently in India for some time. Emerging leaders supported by media that has grown strong today are spearheading such movement. Educated youth that suffers suffocation of rampant irrationality responds such moves strongly.Anna and Arvind led this energy successfully.

But today's out burst in the capital is so much letting out of shared sense of a prey to crime and tolerance by leadership(pseudo) that it didn't wait to be guided by some leader.

For quite some time the implied vision of the so called leadership for the people is getting exposed. More clearly we see today that our leaders never wish their people to be aware, informed, educated, united, independent, free to assess their leadership, not ready to bear the wrong,etc,etc.Justice has been made expensive n delayed, schools are neglected, there is no employment vision, no parity in distributing the production, poor infrastructure, poor human n social index, etc, etc. It simply views its people chained in their day to day problems so it tries better to make life troublesome rather making it easy.

Such a leadership can be brought to negotiation only by open n mass agitation as we witnessed at Ramlila Maidan where Anna make youth united and today when people forced the Govt to nab the culprit, to take care of the victim and to promise strong action against the criminals otherwise a number of rapes are committed daily with what result. This pressure is to maintain and to intensify as the divine leadership best understands only this language.Let not this anguish go in vain.
