Let their be done




It looks like gaining importance is the sole purpose of the political parties. The solution does not matter; what matters to them is the problem. Leaving the parliament is as normal as leaving the TV soaps and serials, which could be seen later when re-telecasted. Opposition is not meant to complement the ruling party but to find faults and claim itself better. Constitution makers must have not thought in the intricacies and the manipulations the concept of opposition party could bring. It is kind of funny to me, whenever a party is not in power it claims to resolve an issue more perfectly comparing itself to the ruling party. Funniest of all is when it claims to have all the solutions to the existing problems forgetting the time when it was on the ruling side, limitations of a solution suddenly superseded the possibility of a solution.

On argument at times a common cliché is that I don’t understand politics and take it lot ideally than what it is meant to be taken as. If derogating one’s view is what is meant to be understanding of politics, I am quite happy that I don’t understand it much. It needs no explanation as why no one determines to become a politician as he grows up? Why is that being a politician is kind of legacy in India? Though India had never experienced any uneducated PM or President but the ground level staff is disappointing. A person knowing the people in a constituency is elected. He does take care of his people. The problem comes when he starts taking care of so called his people only. At a point they are forgetful enough to remember that they belong to a state and a country too. Politics then turns up to become selfish and disgusting.

The end of the day, politics turns to be about the importance of oneself which should never go down; both in local and national politics. As rightly said by the Godfather, it is all about power. But beyond all of it what lie, are the sentiments of countless people. Though mostly in doubts , as voting goes on, we believe may be things will improve; may be the intention behind gaining the power will be selfless and clear. Then suddenly some issues which remains close to the heart gallops around in the name of process and system unresolved, brings frustration and vengeance for its own government. To remind you, the sound of the riffles were louder than the banging of your desk in the parliament; your melodramatic representation of political party, stands no regard in front of the hues and cries of the families who lost their members on November 26 massacre in Mumbai. For the sake of humanity do not adulterate the emotions we hold for the people who died and the people who sacrificed their life, with your filthy politics; at least spare them.

Whatever be your steps, the families who have a martyr in their family are not awaiting a posthumous award. Let the deaths be respected without rambling the issue in the name of meeting the international guidelines. Let it not be stretched assuming it to be a time taking process; it hardly took moments to lose their lives; who believed they can change it for us all; let their be done.
