I have been thinking to pen down the thoughts appearing in
mind. It’s all around the way politics is changing in the country of Mahaveer,
Mahatma Gandhi, Buddh, Vivekanand, Sardar Patel and many more. Our ancestors
have nurtured the diversity and principles of ‘live and let live’, ‘love and
respect’ in the country and across the universe. We are known to have genes of
intellectuals. Why do I write all this? Just to make everyone aware and throw opinion
whether changing the politics and creating a new party would solve the problems
of common person.
Let us consider two families (X and Y) with five brothers
each, the family X gets divided into
five because of the arguments, difference in their thinking, fame, money, etc. The family Y sticks to the principles mentioned above and resolves the
conflict without any damage to unity. Whom do you think is best, strong, and indispensable?
Most answers would be family Y. Having
said that, I do not want just a single political party to rule the country; however,
what I would want so-called our intellectual politicians to come on the same
stage and at least go for bi-party system in Lok Sabha. I know this is just a
dream and may never become true. Nevertheless, as a true Indian, the way to
fight corruption, irregularities, problems is not to go on strike, dharna,
resignation and last but not the least creating altogether a new political
party. I want to warn some intellectual politicians, who are misguiding our Gen
Y. Remember; you will taste your own medicine soon if we continue to create
political parties for each problem in our lives.
I completely agree, there are leaders rather politicians (be
it Congress, BJP or naïve like AAP) who are here for their benefit. However,
the answer to them is not a new political party. If there is a problem in your
family, as an intellectual person I would try to resolve the conflicts rather
than fuming it up to form a new family leaving aside what I already have.
Take an example,
masses supported Anna and Arvind Kejriwal at Jantar-Mantar. AK created his own
political party and went to become chief-minister. He was riding on common-man
wave but did common person’s problem resolved, has corruption gone down during
his 49 days? The answer is big ‘No’. On other hand, if he could have chosen to
enter into politics by joining other existing parties, the things would have
been different and we would have really got some good intellectual figures in
our Indian politics. What it looks to is a blame game now.
At last, I would say, you cannot make everybody happy in
this world. Hence, try to make at least 80 percent of them, which is true
everywhere.
