As i sifted through a newspaper on a cold morning with a cup of simmering tea, lifeless pages seemed to be hollering at me,coaxed me to mull it over.
The Times of India costing 3.50 rupee paper brought life to 350 issues (buried in the hearts and graves of millions) that are rampant and pervasive across the nooks and corners of our developing nation and all we want is "Yellow Journalism", craving for stories that could gratify our salacious insatiable desires.
We are promised a new dawn where the potential stakeholders of the country ( so called 273 in number) prepare to slug it out and their adversaries ( 269) brace themselves to stall anything that comes from across the "Radcliffe Line"( Border between India and Pakistan). Scams, problems,malfunctioning and debates ( you name it and we have it) are inextricably interwoven in this hedonist society.
Even if i flit through channels of the modern day satellite glorified idiot box ( if we may call it as), would get to see a barrage of eminent and not so familiar faces involved in matches of mud-slinging, trying to defend not the country but the plundered wealth that they had brazenly embezzled from the exchequer.
Out of the myriad channels i see wizened Anna, a septuagenarian crusading without caring for the fact that the people he is battling for, are the ones who are perpetrating it and are nonchalantly reclined in their comfort zones. In the name of Democracy all you get to feast upon is " Debate" where political parties stall the already paralyzed work of an Oligarchic Government.
Does Democracy mean mere conducting of elections, or it had some other definition to it.
D- Debate on who acquired the most wealth?
E- Endless Accusation
M-Money Laundering
O- Oligarchy Govt- where power is concentrated in hands of few powerful people.
C-Corruption
R-Rising Inflation
A-Anna lone crusader in a country of 1.2 billion population.
C-Cronyism-practice of favoring if you are in power especially your relatives, DMK can be quoted
Y- You still would like to call India a democratic country, please think about it, it is still in shackles, British rule was better, at least we had no one to debate and cause losses like 4 crore a day for not functioning in Parliament, hope it makes sense!
