STORY OF THE WORLD'S MOST PATHETIC DEMOCRACY

On 26 Jan this year as India turns a 60 year old republic,looking back in time we don't have much to boast about.We have the largest number of hungry people in the world,we have the worst rankings in corruption & human development index,our literacy rate is 68% or to put it in a straightforward way a little more than half of our population is lucky enough to get educated.Our education system is in ruins especially in the rural areas where we don't have enough teachers or enough students.India's total number of Olympic medals is humbled by china's achievements in a single year. Amidst these tainted milestones one achievement stands out though.India's reputation of being the world's largest democracy.The world looks at 11 billion odd people with respect for making a country one of the greatest democratic successes ever.But Alas! Only some know the truth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unlike other successful democratic counterparts election process in India is a different ball game.Here is a democracy where a man wins votes by distributing motorcycles & ends up usurping 4000cr. of public money, where votes are won not on developmental issues but by dividing people on communal and ethnic lines,be it the Ram temple or the marathi issue.This is a country where people are more concerned about their rights than their duties, where half the population doesn't even bother to vote.This being a country where people live like aliens in their on country,with no compassion & dead patriotism.Where voting is marred by ruined ethics,where the game of power is played crushing & crumbling the soul of democracy,where private interests weigh over national interests,where different communities,clans,religions & groups fight against the nation as a whole for their selfish interests the dome of democracy is bound to fall. Democracy in India is a fallen fort with crumbling walls with the prisoners standing as guards themselves. -----------------------------------------------------
Why has India made a mockery of itself? Why the democratic attire of ours is now crinkled,maligned & tarnished? Look beneath your soul & you might find the answer but might not like it.Today i ask myself the question as to what we truly are-World's largest democracy or world's most pathetic democracy. ----------------------------Open your eyes before it is too late to save the slowly dying Indian within us.

JUSTICE DELAYED,JUSTICE DENIED.

17 years is is a long period.It is a gap big enough to heal many a wounds,wash away many a memories, make people forget their worst nightmares.But even the world's best medicine,time, failed to remove the scars inflicted on that fateful day,-6 December 1992.It was the day when God did something even devil will tremble to do. For 17 yrs people waited with hopeful eyes for something that has become dubious in this country-justice.After 17 yrs , a man comes and proves their worst fears that justice here is a right denied to the common man.A man named Liberhan.It took Mr. Liberhan 17 yrs to what every man in India already knew.And what he should have written, his pen shied away.Liberhan might well be India's next entry to Guinnes Book of Records for being the author of a report that may be the world's most delayed report.This gentleman took 17 yrs, 48 extentions,spent 8 cr of public money & produced 960 pages of crap.The report failed to mention any single person responsible for the demolition of the masjid.The report names 78 people culpable for arousing sentiments of people leading to Babri's fate.But action has been recommended against them.That means we have the criminals but no punishment.So, its party time for sangh parivar coz this issue brought BJP & its allies back to limelight who were otherwise lost somewhere in the darkness.Narsimha Rao came out neat from this mess with the report stating he was innocent enough to know anything becoz of lack of intelligence reports.(Did Rao need a report when even a fruit vendor of Delhi's bazaar knew exactly what was going in UP during that period?) Atal Bihari Vajpayee's reputation was tainted though(But then again he is no saint either.) People like Thackeray,Advani,Kalyan singh,Vinay Katiyar,Vaghela are walking under the sky of freedom & probably planning another dharma yudh.In this battle between Ram & Allah who won no one knows............but common man's blood was sacrificed as always.Babri has turned to dust & so has our dream of justice............................................. Not satisfied with the current report? Want another report to fill in the loopholes of Liberhan report. Wait for another 17 years..................................

26/11- I WILL REMEMBER

You might forget this date.And why shouldnot u? coz you are so engrossed in your business of living ,as you tend to put it, that for you every massacare becomes an event worth forgetting.you take out processions,burn candles, shout slogans against politicians and every other individual or instituition possible ,shed fake tears and shout over roof tops about a revolution that will hardly occur.You talk about, in your in manicured tongue ,the hows & whys of what happened in public debates glamourising the story behind 170 corpses .The very next day you erase from your memory of those who bled,of those who lost someone who will never return,of those whose tears that shall never dry up.

But i will not forget.I will remember every bullet that was fired,I will count every drop of blood that was shed,every droplet of tear that trickled down the eyes.I will remember every body that fell & salute every person who took the bullet for us.I will remember every single promise that never materialised,every step that was never taken ,every hand that didnot come out for help.Iwill not forget anything for if I forget today tomorrow will be even more messier,bloodier & darker.

tears of blood

Tonight, let your tears run down your cheeks, for no one will ever come to wipe them.Donot ask for help,for help shall never come.Donot expect a miracle,for miracles seldom happen.Let your wounds deepen & the colour of blood change from red to black.Look at the people around you, secretly laughing at you , at your pain & at your belief of a revolution that will tear apart a crippled system,burn down the effigies of a paralyzed system and bring down the architects of it.For this is a country of 110 million dead people,their souls sleeping in the coffins,muted.They are myopic,they cannot see injustice staring at them.They have gone numb,they dont feel the pain anymore.They have succumbed to pain; they have become used to it.they have left themselves to the mercy of time to heal their wounds.Dont awaken them becoz these deaf & dumb people with their hollow souls cant ignite the fire OF REVOLUTION.Watch your tears & blood mix & let them flow for they are destined to flow time & again on th streets unnoticed.

26/11--neither tears nor blood dried..............

and the blood ran down the streets,blood of agony,of despair,of apathy towards those men with power who let this happen and towards those so called messiah of the people who merely watched and let this blood fill the drains of mumbai;after1 year the same blood is running in our veins cold & dead. will it ever boil,will it ever say enough is enough..........i am waiting 4 that day 2 come............................................
