A fast unto death that lasted for 10 days, students getting more action out of a campus than in it, absolute disregard and destruction of unrelated public and private property, media coverage sensationalizing it further, a ripple effect throughout the country for more such ridiculous demands, triggering an internet debate ranging from ridiculing the whole thing with every humorous angle possible.
But when the humor leaves and the matter’s still worsening what does one do? When the losses start amounting to crores and the inconvenience caused being priceless what does one do? We are talking about the world’s largest democracy, which a few months ago made history with the General Elections and made the world stand up, take notice and respect India in a completely different light, making the same world look at India now in a profoundly confused manner.
How much harm than good are such demonstrations and political decision making doing? Aren’t such actions regressive to growth?
Are such actions truly for the benefit of the people or is it just plain political greed for economic control and increasing one’s already bulging coffers?
They talk about India’s stand on Global Warming, Nuclear Agreement Deals, Economic Development, China’s land encroachment but where does it leave these things when silly internal policies can create a domino effect throughout the country creating such political instability across regions, with voters questioning themselves over their decisions to bring these very political parties to power!!!
Is secularism just centered to religion and not to culture I wonder? Are these policies based on escapism/hypocrisy/profits for a few or just idiocy I wonder more?
