It is frustrating to see politicians once again trying to create divide between people and shockingly these are the same politicians who claim to be social guardian of “their” people, the same set of people who unfortunately still live with the stigma of belonging to the most cruelly and crudely defined strata of society called as “lower castes”. This drama of banning a film without even watching it and all being done to further solidify their claim to be the representatives – self proclaimed, of course – is a gross exploitation of still unformed emotions of perhaps the most underprivileged section of the society.
I wonder why people fail to understand the design of these self-focused myopic politicians. Why don’t these underprivileged people instead demand from their so-called representatives to provide them with equal opportunities to education so that they too could compete at similar levels on merits with all others in a flat field? Why do they get carried away by shameless stoking of their fragile sentiments by mean political creatures? Why don’t they ask the governments to build adequate and quality schools and colleges instead of crying for reservations?
Because by doing so they let the governments go scot free and give them an easy escape route from their responsibilities towards providing for basic infrastructure for supporting fundamental things, education being of the utmost importance. We all know that whatever anybody is today in this world is because of his/her education primarily. And I truly believe that education is the only way by which not only we can eradicate this millennia old ailment from Indian society but also build a progressive society with dignity for all living being irrespective of one’s so called family of birth.
I simply say: India has to shun Aarakshun! ...
