The new
beginning! something that is vital and needed! My earlier posts revolved around
irresponsible, irrelevant stuff that have spoiled the minds of the people. I
always say and believe there are two ‘C’s that spoil the Indian society
Corruption and the bigger C is Caste. Yes I was a bit harsh and targeted a few groups,
sorry for that. As a kick back, I got many harsh calls and mails but I would be
the last person to be bothered about such stuff. All it takes is guts to admit
the truth! Neither NTR nor YSR was a God, neither Jayaprakash Narayan or
Kejriwal can be allegation free. But it is more of a perception one takes from
the deep his heart. Words look heavy, time for a story..
There were
two crooks who worshiped Lord Brahma to fulfill their desires. Both of them
meditated for years, sitting one beside the other, facing hardships to win the
grace of the lord. At last Brahma came down and said “Sons, I am happy with
your prayers. Ask me what you want” They were happy but were not sure what they
really wanted to ask when the lord came. The first one was so greedy but was
not sure what he wanted, So he thought that the other fellow has got a good set
of desires and asked Brahma “ Lord, give me twice the amount of Stuff you give to
that fellow(the second fellow)”. The second fellow was even clever he thought
for a while and decided, Come what may I
am gonna be in a better position than that fellow. So, He asked Brahma “Lord
please make my one eye blind”
The concept
of castism derives its roots from a similar standpoint; the second fellow in
the race is Caste. It was created for no reason; the only reason probably could
be to make the rest of the world blind, the caste itself is half blind. Well,
the word religion is the biggest problem man has created to himself. Intentions
were good while something was done but the outcomes turned out to be poor. But
we remain silent.
Common man’s
confession:
I know Jagan Reddy can’t make so much money in
little time. But at times stands on his words. I know Chandra babu’s two eyes are
caste and power, not Seemandhra and Telangana and two acres can’t make you an
owner of those many crores! At least CBN is clever enough not to maintain a KVP
Ramchander Rao who tells all the stuff out. And I know CBN never believes in
his own shadow, forget accountability .But he made people professional. I know
Telangana is needed but Congress will never give it. I know..I know KCR is
playing with sentiments, I know Lagadapati Rajagopal my MP has got a lot of
properties in Telangana. And I know Giving Telangana can’t give the region
monsoon that would make people rich. I know Ranga was a rowdy, I know Devineni
Brothers still do settlements. I know that the intermediate students of my state
are proud of being born in a certain community than being born as an Indian. I
know nothing is perfect we are after all human beings. No person can be 100%
right, I know even I am biased. Ladies and Gentlemen while reading this you too
are, but I know one thing, I can think.
Yes I know that Arab spring has ruined the Middle East, I know it has come
close into Pakistan, a cleric lead a huge protest in Pak recently and an MLA of
Hyderabad made insane comments. Jyoti Singh Pandey’s case made the nation angry
for a few days but now things are back to business as usual. Rahul Gandhi will
be a PM one day whether I and you like it or not. Modi and Advani with their
reputation will definitely be biased and poor choices to lead a secular country
but one of them will lead this country sooner or later. I know we have got no
choice but to open up the economy further. I know that a country can’t be run
without raising the prices I know I have to pay my tax I know I know….
But I forgot
one thing, we have made enormous progress. Sooner or later India is going to be
a super-power, my media is not interested! It doesn’t show the positives. The
problem of the country is not the Politicians but it is the media. The day
media functions ethically the system can be changed.
The best-selling
thing next to currency in elections is the caste card. How do I kill this caste
system? I have made a promise to myself I would never attend a marriage that
sees caste and allows Dowry even if it is the marriage of a blood relative or
the closest of my friends. It takes time to kill the attitude but change is inevitable.
If everyone does the same one day, yes there wouldn’t be anti-reservation
protests or Gujjars requests/Meena’s oppositions or MRPS’s claims and finally
the column ‘caste’ in any form. People should come forward. Educated lots abuse
the marriage system the most.
People’s
opinions may not always win but India is a Gandhian Democracy with Ambedkarite
Constitution. Now, no one cares for the thoughts of those great men and I know
what is going to happen if there is a plebiscite in Kashmir. Still, the best
Democracy can’t fail! The United States may beg soon because of their policies and
Chinese unethical practices. But Indian value system is different but most of
the times our people are so narrow minded. See how irrelevant the things I have
touched in this post are! It was intentional, the same is happening with our
democracy. I have to do my job and don’t act like the man we discussed in the
story. The problem lies with the Indian attitude. A positive media and a group
of positive people is what it takes to make India a Super power, at least the
people would be happy in case we don’t make it a superpower. I find it funny
when they say Ramarajya is a solution. For some it may be, but the day we stop
thinking, we are dead. The instant we start thinking negative even the
generations to come are gone. Don’t tell your son/daughter their caste; don’t
ask your spouse his/her caste when you marry. See the difference. And yes it
needs, The new beginning.
