In hindsight of situations happening
in my great country, I find the current protest about CAB, CAA, NRC NPR nothing
but a political tool to arm-twist the government. Having said so I want to be
clear about my leanings (political), not to please anyone but to give my perspective.
I definitely lean towards the right
wing, for I, have lived through left-wing in my youth and seen their hypocrisy and
suffered consequences of it, whereas the centre has been anything but balanced,
I have always found it to be the centre of the right or left, the way it is now is
the way it has always been, nothing but a shifting paradox, of leaderless herds
of sycophantic morons. I mourn their imbecility much unlike to their own realization.
It seems the current political
dispensation has been basking in the glory of its numbers and the brownie points
it scored towards some really tough decision making, which was needed definitely,
and worth every seat it won - Abrogation of Article 370, Triple Talaq, Ram
Janmabhoomi had earned it a distinction as a secular rather than sickular.
However, in my view the complacent, conceited and foolhardy political judgment
is turning the otherwise good run-up to now, to a comedy of errors.
Not that I do not support the issue of
CAA, but I think the announcement for a nationwide NRC, NPR was a foolish hyperbole,
when the country needed much attention towards pressing issues like messy economic
slowdown, slow GDP.
In the intoxicating fervour of power, a mistake was committed and I can’t help myself but quote a line used by a friend
in WhatsApp chat, amongst friends, not quite appreciated then, holds true
nonetheless, in this context.
“I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty,
and besides, the pig likes it.”
George Bernard Shaw
Another dangerous trend set are the remonstration
about political or ideological differences outside the boundaries of the
Republic, which is nothing short of perfidy.
The set standard now therefore is
taking to the streets against the populist government and its policies, factionalism
preferred over federalism. Judiciary the third pillar in the democracy is being
turned into a political tool, when it takes 7 years to convict a rapist in
NIRBHAYA.
Alas!
So much solicitude, to the people, for the people, by the people.
