INCREDIBLE INDIA
We live in country
which is democratic republic in an undemocratic way. Democracy word has is
written in the constitution of India has been literally wiped up and littered
in the garbage bin by a group people at their own convenience. Although the man
sitting on the top for driving the nation ahead has repeatedly spelled out in
several occasions that constitution of the country is the highest holy book and
no other reference from any caste creed or religion will be followed by in the
democratic set up of the nation. Despite all this, some hotheads are doing
irresponsible comment almost daily in the name of religion. No religious books
have ever mentioned that women folks are debarred to visit in temples or
mosques. But people from different religious groups are debarring women to go
inside the centum sanctorum of temple and Masque at Maharashtra in most
undemocratic way. In a democracy where every citizen has got some fundamental
rights and one of which is right to worship, where the fundamental right of the
womanhood and gender equality is in question. The sabarmala temple in Kerala
has gone one up high where along with gender inequality the age bias is also
determined by a section of so called religious heads. Who are they to determine
this? In this 21st century, women are in helm of affairs in many areas and they
are better performing than their male counterpart, a group of orthodox
paranoids want to push back the country two steps backward where the leader of
country is trying to take a leap forward.
Against some hotheads
are raising their voice for different cause.. Some are raising voice now for
migrated Kashmiri Pundits in their own homeland about 28years back and these
people who are born and spent their life in other places outside Kashmir
started shading tears suddenly for those Pundits after almost three decades
totally for own benefits. Almost during that period thousands of Bengali have
been migrated from different north eastern states in most undemocratic way due
to unbearable torture, loot and arson and took refuge different states in rest
of India, where those sympathisers were then? These people only show their face
in media and posts in social media for their personal benefits. Lastly, when
the most savage and uncivilized barbarism happened in Bangalore few days back
where foreign national(lady) has been stripped and paraded naked where those
moral keepers of nation hide their face instead of raising voice. They are
staying tightlipped due to reason best known to them or the episode is not favourable
for them to come out. Sadly enough, a large group of followers of these kinds
of people are making beeline in social media and flooding with posts and
comments favouring those elements. Here democracy now means follow this or that
group madly and blindly and forget own conscience and raise voice selectively
looking for own benefits. This is India now. Incredible India!
