MOBOCRACY

Here goes another episode. Gujjars waited for another vacation holidays to strike so that the tourism gets affected in Rajastan and their demands are heard to. “You reap what you sow” and this is being proved here. An affair of the state is being transformed into a national issue, courtesy, caste-politics played by our leaders.

These crook politicians perpetuate the caste system in India just to keep the public divided. If one Prime Minister divided us in the name of language, the other did in the name of caste (read reservation). Now this has become a handy tool for these crooks to play politics in the name of region, religion caste and creed.

On one side they blame the society for discrimination and ill-treatment of Dalits and on the other side they want them to be christened as Dailts (or low caste) just as to enjoy the benefits in the name of the caste.

In democracy, the common citizen can participate in the governance and get his demand fulfilled. Here what Gujjars did was an implicit threat to the Governance. If you do not meet my demands, I will keep on damaging you and your properties. This is not new to us. Our Health Minister Mr. Ramadoss’s party did these two decades back in Tamilnadu and Gujjars followed it late. Is this democracy or Mobocracy?

Indian Media has taken an oath that they will never allow anything good to the country. If the Chief Minister stood firm, the media took the sides of these mobs naming them innocents and depicted a story as if the Government was unduly harsh. However, the media failed to look on the other side of the harshness created by these mobs! If the CM kept quiet, they blamed the CM in the name of inaction. What do they want? Just to succumb to the demands of Gujjars and set a precedent of allotting quotas to all who indulge in such mobs?

Despite all these SAchin Pilot had cracked jokes that brought us some lighter moments. He said, “It is an empty gesture to send a letter to PM” – What Mr. Pilot mean to say. Is sending a letter to PM is an empty gesture? Is the office of PM is superfluous or dummy? Will the PMO act only to letters from cabinet ministers recommending their kith & kin to loot the tax payers’ money as they did in TR Baalu’s case? Mr. Sachin went on to add, “A similar letter was sent to PM from the CM four years back also” meaning PMO is not taking action to a letter sent from the CM of a state for 4 years. Imagine the plight of a common citizen?

The population of Indians abroad will be around 2% of the Indian population still, their income is about 20% of the Indian GDP. This shows that the performance is boosted by its surroundings. An average performer delivers good if the surroundings were supportive and the good performer excels. However, if the environment does not support, even the excellent performer gives you an average performance. The performance of Indians abroad is a proof of this. All of these Indians had left India because they did not get the right opportunity to perform or they were refused to perform.

However, our politicians cannot look into this. They do not know what Meritocracy is. Meritocracy is being reduced to mediocrity. Our rulers are not concerned about the country but their future plans even if it is at the cost of the country.

I do agree with Mr. Sachin Pilot that one needs a political will to tackle such issues. Will Sachin comment on the same to his party leaders? Will Sachin ask these Gujjar brothers to compensate for the damages they have incurred to the Government? Will he go against the compensation to the victims if offered by the Government from the coffers of tax payers’ money? Mr. Sachin, to do this, you need political guts. Let us not talk of a factor which we lack totally.
