1983-2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I found this excellent article on one of the website, its worth a read! General Election is near in India; politicians are playing various drama/dance/play/stage shows to attract us as usually they do. Majority of the youth are not really bothered because it is not a T-20 Cricket match, Indian Idol reality TV show. Lack of youth leaders in politics may be the major setback for youth not taking much interest but compare to 2004 General election; I am sure this time the young voters will increase. Mumbai terrorist attack may be a reason behind it. Political parties wear any dirty dress, play blame games, use money power, actor celebrities campaign to attract voters and it is common anywhere in the world even in the US, but casting & gaining votes on the basis of religion/caste/region is what mainly happens in India and it has taken our country behind. Just look at what happened in Mumbai; Regional fight in the name of "MARATHI" but the real intension was to steel the Maharashtra people emotions for creating vote bank. Srilanakan Tamilan issue is the main agenda for some tamilnadu political parties. When we have our own problems in our country our politicians are more bothered about Srilankan Tamilan issue and it is again to create timil sentiments for vote bank. Jayalalitha played a fasting game to create public emotions where some people made its fun of it saying "She is in a strict diet to loose weight". In UP, VarunÃÔ hate speech against Muslims was to steel Hindu emotions. Mayavathi applied NSA over Varun. She might say it was due to stop violence/riots but the real intension may be to make happy Muslims voters. In Orissa BJP+JDU was in power when the riot happened against Christians. Killing of Hindu Sadu is the reason behind the riot but so far the killers of Swami are not arrested and the issue is still kept alive. Naveen Patnayak of Orissa CM left BJP long friendship just before the elections giving the reason of BJP's Hindutva agenda and sponsoring riots in Kandamal against Christians. But the question is why Patnayak waited until the general elections to come closer to leave BJP? Why can't his govt. catch the culprits? Why, the police were silent when the Nun was cruelly gang raped in public? Why there are no laws against forcible conversion in the state to control the missionaries? So again it is clear Mr. CM's drama is to steal minority emotions as well to prove he is not the sinner but not to stop any future attacks against Christians. Let us come to Karnataka. Most of the leaders come to power getting votes on the basis or caste. I don't want to name as the list will go long. If I take up the church attack & attack over XianÃÔ in Manglore, the reason behind it was distributing anti Hindu pamphlets in Mangalore. Mangalore is not Orissa, people have educated, media was there, but enough damage was done. Christians have no right to talk against any other faith. Hindu outfits did a violent reaction and it was not necessary and taking law in to hands is strictly condonable. Now here comes the government again, if you view the videos of police brutally, U will see police entering the church inside and beating the Men/Women/youth. Who gave the right to the police to do this? Does anyone can say without higher permission police can beat people brutally even in front of the media? Why didn't the police arrest the youth in a safe way without touching/beating? Again my question comes, why didn't the govt. still didn't catch the culprits who printed the anti Hindu pamphlets and distributed? So again the issue is still kept alive and I donÃÕ think the govt. has done something to avoid this in the future? Attack on young women in a pub in Mangalore made us shame & and it was international news. Girls drinking in the pub and dancing is not at all out culture, I agree. Assaulting/beating girls is our culture? Why doesnÃÕ the Govt. ban Pubs in Karnataka? Why didn't SRS fight with the Govt. to close pubs in Karnataka? If they did, it would have meaningful, so again the real intension behind the attack was to steel emotions of Hindus in the name culture. Let's come to the Central ruling party UPA (Congress) and opposite party NDA (BJP). Congress blames on BJP for Gujarat riot and BJP blames on Congress for 1984 Sikh riot. BJP blames Congress on Mumbai terrorists attack and Congress blames BJP on Kandahar Flight hijack. Now let us think, why was congress (UPA) soft on terror? Why didn't they form strong anti terrorist laws when they ruled out POTA? The party which once said we don't require strong anti terrorists laws, and after the Mumbai terrorist attack UPA formed NSA against terrorism. Congress has to stop minority aspects and take the whole country together. BJP always takes up Hindutva. What I feel is BJP has to change their mindset. Instead of promising Ayodhya, doing Ratha Yatra & supporting Sangha Pariwar activities BJP has to take the country as one. Positive activities such as voice against corruption, injustice Etc, from Sangha Pariawar is always welcome. BJP is a National party and it should not be based on any one religion or caste. The country needs unity among its citizen and as a national party it canÃÕ go against Muslims and Christians and think about only Hindus. Every person who has born in this country has got the right to live in this country, So that BJP should not divide the country based on religion caste or culture. Going through all the above explanation, what we can find is every single party is aiming to create emotions of the people through Religion, caste and region. Political parties easily utilize the weakness of the people that is lack of education, lack of Knowledge and poverty to gain power and keep on with it to survive; anything happens in the country like Blast, riot or attack it is always advantage for the political parties. Political Party & politicians must; 1. For Terrorism, DonÃÕ point the entire Muslim community, terrorism has no religion and it is attack against mankind. Need to enforce strong laws which canÃÕ be misused and security has to be strengthened. Spreading hate against any religion community may lead to rise in anti national activities. 2. To control or stop forced conversion there should be strong laws, also missionaries should be controlled converting people from one religion to another in the name of help and charity, but attacking churches, killing/burning alive, gang raping women is also one kind of terrorism and it is again attack over humanity. Let us realize the hidden tricks of politics, how they keep on playing with common man for the votes. When every party is involved in this dirty game we canÃÕ choose a good party. All are dirty and corrupt in one or another way. What we can do is, we should aware about the games politicians play to create vote bank, and not to dance according to their tune. Let us donÃÕ give any chances to create religious, caste regional sentiments for vote bank, but accept every man/woman as our own brother and sister. I hope then only we will have peace in our country and we will be safe. Jai Humanity! http://princerodricks.hubpages.com/hub/rodricks
Lurker Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I hope then only we will have peace in our country and we will be safe. Jai Humanity! For some reasons I read that as Jai Hanumanji :giggle: On the topic, I am kinda tired on everyone blaming everybody else and then suggesting solutions. Pick a newspaper, local or national, during the election season and see how they project if X will win from Patna. It is always broken down by X winning because he would get 5% Pundit vote, 7% Muslim vote, 15% pichda vote. yada yada. Story is the same whether you are in Purnea or Pune. People should fix this, not anyone else.
